5.7 USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Remember
PORTABLE GENERATOR
Limit operations requiring the maximum rated output of 5500 Watts to 20–30 minutes.
For continuous operation, do not exceed the continuous rated output of 5000 Watts.
NOTICE: DO NOT exceed the current limit specified on the control panel for any
receptacle.
When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a
voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less
voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw
or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage
loss.
WARNING
Damaged extension cords can cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury or death.
DO NOT use worn, bare, or frayed cords. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Use the chart below as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
