Honda EXT12D Maintenance Manual page 33

Limit operation requiring maximum power (see page 50 ) to 30
minutes.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power (see page
50 ).
In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be
considered.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for
startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could
cause damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the
house.
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber
sheathed flexible cable (IEC 245 or equivalent).
Limit length of extension cables; 60 m for cables of 1.5 mm and 100
m for cables of 2.5 mm . Long extension cables will lower usable
power due to resistance in the extension cable.
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as
commercial power supply lines.
