Operation
Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads
Using Extension Cords
Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor
use rated for your loads. Follow cord safety instructions.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE For best results when plugging into the 120 Volt
receptacles, plug items to be powered in sequence as
shown.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 Watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current.

Ground Fault Protection

The duplex receptacles are equipped with Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. The GFCI protects
against electrical shock that may be caused if your body
becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground.
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but
the GFCI is intended to cut current off quickly enough so
that a person in normal health should not suffer any serious
electrical injury.
WARNING! Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting in death or
serious injury. Contact with the hot and neutral
conductor at the same time could cause electrical shock
or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI protected.
Testing the GFCI
While generator is running, test each GFCI receptacle prior
to use, as follows:
• Push the "Test" button. The "Reset" button should
pop out, which should allow no power to reach the
receptacle.
• Press the "Reset" button firmly until it is fully in place
and locks in that position. If the GFCI receptacle does
not reset properly, do not use the receptacle. Call
or take your generator to a local Briggs & Stratton
authorized service dealer.
• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the
receptacle.
