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 the 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, be 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.
• Be sure the tool or appliance is in good working
order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electric shock.
• Be sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance
does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the
receptacle being used.
OPERATION
EXTENSION CORD SIZING
Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords marked for
outdoor use that are rated for the electrical load.
ST SWITCH
See Figure 1. The generator is compatible with the
Westinghouse ST Switch, purchased separately. When
utility power is on, it will provide power (up to 120V @
20A) to the appliances plugged into the 5-20R receptacle
on the ST Switch. When utility power is lost, the ST
Switch automatically transfers input power from utility to
generator power. When utility power is restored, the
ST Switch transfers input power back to utility. Visit
