USING THE GENERATOR
CAUTION:
Do not connect 50Hz loads to the generator.
SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can drain the power provided to an electrical device by the generator. When using such cords,
allow for a slightly higher rated wattage requirement by the electrical device. See Figure 7 for recommended
cords based on the power requirement of the electrical device.
