USING 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 8 for recommended
cords based on the power requirement of the electrical device.

If an overload occurs, shut down the generator. Unplug all electrical devices and wait five minutes. Then, start the
unit back up again to get power back.
DC USAGE
