This system must never be installed inside an enclosed building, home, shop or garage etc. - Page 15 Electrical Connections All load connections are made at the panel using electrical cords with the proper mating plug for the receptacle being used. More than one receptacle can be used as long as the total load does not exceed the continuous rating of the generator.
