Installation / Initial Set-Up
Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a
distance from the generator. However, use only UL-listed, outdoor-rated,
grounded extension cords of the proper size. Additionally, if using the
generator in damp or highly electrical conductive areas or on construction
jobsites, always use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)-equipped
extension cords to prevent electrical shock. Use Table 5 below to choose
an adequately sized extension cord according to the amperage of the
device being used and the length of the cord.

WARNING:
Use of under sized extension cords can cause electric shock, fire, or
damage to connected devices. Failure to use GFCI extension cords in
damp or wet conditions can result in severe electric shock or
electrocution.
All extension and appliance cords must be in good condition and not worn,
bare, frayed, or otherwise damaged.
WARNING:
Use of damaged electric cords can cause electric shock or fire.
Note: If an extension cord becomes hot to the touch, it is overloaded or
damaged and must be replaced.
Northern Tool is NOT responsible for damage or injury resulting from
customer use of inadequate extension cords.
