SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS
Long or thin cords can require more wattage from a generator to power an electrical device. Figure 6 shows the recommended cords according to
the power requirement of the electrical device. When using cords that exceed these specifications, allow for the electrical device to have a slightly
higher rated wattage requirement.

SWITCHING BETWEEN GASOLINE & PROPANE FUEL
In order to switch between gasoline and propane fuel, you must turn off the current fuel. For example, if using gasoline and you want to switch to
propane, turn the gasoline Fuel Switch to OFF position and let the engine continue to run until it burns off all remaining gasoline fuel in carburetor.
Then turn the propane tank ON. If using propane and you want to switch to gasoline, turn the propane tank OFF and turn the gas Fuel Switch ON.
