A.120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle

20 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the
receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within
nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with
the twistlock receptacle provided the generator is not
overloaded.

Warranty Coverage: Powermate Corporation (the Company)
warrants to the original retail customer in North America that it
will repair or replace, free of charge, any parts found by the
Company or its authorized service representative to be
defective in material or workmanship. This warranty covers the
cost of replacement parts and labor for defects in material or
workmanship.

Not Covered:

· Transportation charges for sending the product to the

Company or its authorized service representative for
warranty service, or for shipping repaired or replacement
products back to the customer; these charges must be
borne by the customer.

· Engine is covered exclusively by a separate warranty from
the engine manufacturer, included with the engine Manual.

· Damages caused by abuse or accident, and the effects of
corrosion, erosion and normal wear and tear.

· Warranty is voided if the customer fails to install, maintain
and operate the product in accordance with the instructions
and recommendations of the Company set forth in the
owner's manual, or if the product is used as rental
equipment.

B.120/240 V, 20 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

A maximum of 20 amps may be drawn from the 120/240

However, current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the
120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt
receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate
ratings.

C.Circuit Breakers

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem
before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading
causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may

be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

Warranty Period: Two (2) years from the date of purchase on
products used solely for consumer applications; if a product is
used for business or commercial applications, the warranty
period will be limited to one (1) year from the date of purchase.
For warranty service, the customer must provide dated proof of
purchase and must notify the Company within the warranty
period.

For warranty service: Call toll free 800-445-1805, or write

ratchets, block(s) of wood (minimum of 6” tall).

Refer to the parts list on page 9.

WHEEL INSTALLATION

1.Block up end of generator opposite the fuel tank cap to

through the wheel (item 31), then through the wheel
bracket on the carrier, with the offset side of the wheel hub
against the wheel bracket.

4.Thread 3/8 nyloc nut (item 36) onto the bolt and tighten to
securely clamp the wheel assembly to the tubing.

5.Repeat above instructions for the remaining wheel.

FOOT INSTALLATION

1.Blocking up the engine side of the generator, place the
foot bracket (item 27) under the carrier channel. Thread a
5/16-18 x 4” bolt (item 48)with a rubber foot (item 32)
through the mounting holes and thread a 5/16 flange nut

(item 15) to the bolt to secure the foot bracket to the carrier.
Caution: Do not over tighten so that the rubber foot
material collapses.

HANDLE INSTALLATION

Your generator is supplied with a 25 foot 12 GA SJTW
4-conductor 105ºC power cord set. This cord is equipped with
an L14-20P twistlock Plug, on one end, which will plug directly
into the mating twistlock receptacle on the control panel of your
generator. The opposite end comes equipped with a special 4
circuit connector comprised of four 5-20R receptacles. These
may be used to power individual loads. Make sure the loads

do not exceed the 20 amp rating of the Power Cord Set.

Circuit breaker protection is provided for on the control panel of
your generator.

You will notice that the 4-circuit connector is color coded
with red and blue dots. When several loads are powered at the

separately colored half, if possible. The red half and the blue

current provided your generator is capable of supplying 4800
watts of power. Check nameplate ratings for total wattage
capability of the generator.

NOTE: When using a generator cover with this portability
kit, the handle must be moved to the downward position.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Powermate Corporation (herein "Powermate") are pleased to explain the evaporative emission
control system (EECS) warranty on your 2006 generator. In California, new generators must be designed, built and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti-smog standards. Powermate must warrant the EECS on your generator for the periods of time listed below, provided
there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your generator.

Your EECS includes parts such as: fuel hoses.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. The warranty period begins on the date the generator is delivered to
an ultimate purchaser.

Powermate warrants to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent owner that the generator is (i) designed, built and equipped so as to
conform with all applicable regulations; and (ii) free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part
to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in Powermate's application for certification.

If any evaporative emission-related part on your generator is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Powermate.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the generator owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Powermate
recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your generator, but Powermate cannot deny warranty solely for the lack
of receipts. You should, however, be aware that Powermate may deny you warranty coverage if your generator or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your generator to an authorized Powermate warranty service center as soon as the problem exists. The
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your
warranty coverage, you should call Powermate Product Service at 1-800-445-1805.

remainder of the period.

(2)Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the warranty

period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
