5.1 Warnings and Cautions

WARNING
■To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. The ground
terminal is connected to the generator frame and the ground terminal of each receptacle. Connect a
length of heavy gauge wire between the generator's ground terminal and an external ground source if
required by local code.
CAUTION
■Limit operation requiring a maximum power rating of 6000 watts to 30 minutes. For continuous
operation, do not exceed the rated power of 5500 watts. In either case, the total wattage of all appliances
connected must be considered.
■Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
■Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause the damage to the generator or
to electrical appliances in the house.
■Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is intended for. Also observe the
following when using the generator.
A. Do not connect generators in parallel.
B. Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
C. Do not operate the generator with any covers removed or in a closed compartment
■When an extension cable is required, make sure you use the proper size and length.
16 Gauge Cords- Any 16 gauge cord between 0 and 100 feet long will adequately handle tool and
appliance loads up to 10 amps
14 Gauge Cords- a 14 gauge cord between 0 and 50 feet long will adequately handle loads between 10
and 15 amps.
12 Gauge Cords- If your load is between 10 and 15 amps and the length of the cord is 50 to 100 feet,
you need a 12 gauge cord to safely power any tool.
