An extension cord that is hot to the touch is overloaded.

Repair or replace damaged extension cords immediately.

DOUBLE THROW TRANSFER SWITCH

Potential hazards exist when a portable electric generator is

connected to the main electrical supply coming into the house.

It is at that point that the electrical generator could feed back into the utility

company's system causing possible electrocution of workers who are repairing

the electrical lines.

To avoid back feeding of electricity into utility systems, a double-throw transfer

switch must be installed between the generator and utility power. The Double-

Throw Transfer Switch should be installed by a licensed electrician and in com-

pliance with all state and local electrical codes. (When installing a Double-

Throw Transfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.)

The electrician should also install a sub-panel to isolate the circuits you would

want to use during an emergency or electrical power outage. Your generator will

not be large enough to handle the load of all the lights, appliances, TV, etc. at

one time. To select which items to run during the electrical power outage, see

Wattage Calculation section in this manual.

OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM THE GENERATOR

There are basically 2 ways to obtain electricity from a generator:

1. Use of extension cords directly from the generator to the appliance, lights,

tools, etc.

2. Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed directly to the main electrical

supply outside of house.
