General Inspection Prior to Operation
The DCA-400SPK generator has been thoroughly inspected
and accepted prior to shipment from the factory. However,
be sure to check for damaged parts or components, or loose
nuts and bolts, which could have occurred in transit.
Extension Cable
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or
loads at some distance from the generator, extension
cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow
for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage
drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held
to a minimum. Use the Cable Selection Guide (Table 10)
as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
