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
Long or thin extension cords can drain the power provided to your electrical devices. 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.
