WARNING!

 Generator should 

only

 be connected to electrical devices, either directly or with an extension 

cord. NEVER CONNECT TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM without a qualified electrician and connected to 

a transfer switch as a separately derived system. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and 

codes. Failure to comply can create a back-feed, which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers.

NOTE:

 For power outages, permanently installed, stationary generators are better suited for providing backup 

power to your home.  Even a properly connected portable generator can become overloaded.  This may result 

in overheating or stressing the machine’s components, possibly leading to generator failure. 

SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS

Refer to the following chart in determining the necessary gauge extension cord for each of your devices. Round up 

to the higher amperage in the chart to maximize safety.
