Cord Sets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension cords with the generator’s receptacles. Inspect extension cords before each use.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 125 Volts AC loads 20 Amps or greater. Check operator’s manuals of devices to be powered for the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.
WARNING Damaged or overloaded electrical cords
could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death,
serious injury, and/or property damage.
