OPERATION
POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices,
use care when adding electrical loads to the generator.
There should be nothing connected to the generator
outlets before starting the engine. The correct and safe
way to manage generator power is to sequentially add
loads as follows:
With nothing connected to the generator, start the
engine as described in this manual.
load you have.
Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly).
Plug in and turn on the next load.
Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

EXTENSION CORDS
Asphyxiation hazard. Extension cords running directly
into the home increase the risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning through any openings. If an extension cord
running directly into your home is used to power indoor
items, there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to
people inside the home. Always use battery-powered
carbon monoxide detector (s) that meet current UL 2034
safety standards when running the generator. Regularly
check the detector (s) battery.
Asphyxiation hazard. When operating the generator with
extension cords, make sure the generator is located in
an open, outdoor area, far away from occupied spaces
with exhaust pointed away.
Fire and electrocution hazard. Never use worn or
damaged extension cords. Damaged or overloaded
extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting
in death or serious injury.
Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the
generator:
• Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and
appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances.
• Make sure the tool or appliance is in good working
order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electric shock.
• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance
does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the
receptacle being used.
