OPERATION
Receptacles and Extension Cords
Only use high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension cords in good condition with generator receptacles. Extension
cords should have a minimum rating of 125 Volts AC, 20 Amps and should be kept as short as possible to minimize voltage
drop. Follow each load manufacturer’s power rating recommendation when selecting receptacle and extension cord.
Do not connect 3-phase loads to generator.
CAUTION!
12 Volt 8.3 Amp Output is for charging batteries only!
