Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a
distance from the generator. However, use only UL-listed, outdoor-rated,
grounded extension cords of the proper size. Use Table 2 below to choose
an adequately sized extension cord according to the amperage of the
device being used and the length of the cord.
Table 2
WARNING:
Use of under sized extension cords can cause electric shock, fire, or
damage to connected devices.
♦
All extension and appliance cords must be in good condition and not worn,
bare, frayed, or otherwise damaged.
WARNING:
Use of damaged electric cords can cause electric shock or fire.
Note: If an extension cord becomes hot to the touch, it is overloaded or
damaged and must be replaced.
