Generator Safety Tips

1. READ AND FOLLOW the manufacturer's guidelines listed in your owner's manual for correct operating procedures and power output capabilities. DO NOT TRY to run more appliances than your generator can handle. Assess which appliances are most critical to your needs.

2. DO NOT CONNECT your generator directly to your home's wiring.

3. NEVER run a generator inside your home or in your garage. ALWAYS run your generator in a well ventilated area away from your home.

4. ALWAYS use heavy duty, indoor/outdoor rated extension cords to connect the generator.

5. DO NOT attempt to refuel your generator while it is running. Turn off all electrical appliances connected to the generator, then turn off the generator. Let the generator cool down before you attempt to refuel it.
