USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
• DO NOT
use split, frayed or worn cords.
• ALWAYS
replace damaged cords immediately.
Long extension cords used to connect devices to the generator result in a loss of voltage. The longer the extension
cord, the greater the voltage loss. Refer to the chart on page 12 to help select proper cable size when using exten-
sion cords.
WARNING
Damaged extension cords can cause electrical shock,
resulting in serious injury or death.
