Only use grounded extension cords that are rated for outdoor use and
equipment with a third-wire ground. When using the 20A or 30A twist-
locking receptacle, you must connect through a GFCI protected spider
box or use an in-line GFCI adapter.
When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to
the generator, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater
the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the
appliance or tool and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or
reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce
the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough volt-
age to operate your tool or appliance. The tables indicate appropriate
gauge for extension cords and the voltage drop caused by the use of
extension cords, given different electrical loads.
CAUTION: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to over-
heat. Using an excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to
overheat.
WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn,
bare or frayed cords because they can cause electrical shock.

Accessories available for generators include wheels (A), handles
(A) and lifting hook (C). notE: Two people are needed for these
installations. Install the wheel kit before adding gasoline or engine oil
to prevent damage to the engine. If accessories are being installed
after running the generator, make sure the gas tank is empty, the fuel
shut-off valve is turned to the OFF position (horizontal to the ground)
and the oil is drained from the engine. FIG. 3 shows the accessory kit
contents.
