Powering Appliances

•Pay attention to appliance operation: If appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn it OFF immediately. Disconnect appliance and determine whether problem is appli- ance, or if rated load capacity of generator has been exceeded.

•Use suitable extension cords: If using an extension cord to connect appliance to generator, use only UL- listed, three-prong extension cords. Be sure extension cord is proper size (wire-gauge) to handle electric load that will be plugged into it.

CAUTION

NEVER run power cords under carpet, rugs, or other materi- als where heat might build up or cord damage may go unno- ticed.

Appliance Wattage Information

Use table below as a guide to determine how much power you will need to run appliances using generator.
