In the event that the machine has a discharged battery, either replace thebattery with a fully charged battery or charge the battery using an appropriatebattery charger. See Technical Data for the equivalent battery specification. Dispose of waste batteries in accordance with local environmental regulations.2.8 Use of Extension CordsWhen a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to thegenerator, 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 increasesthe amount of current draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a largerwire size will reduce the voltage loss.Use the chart below as a guide for selecting proper cable size.Use only extension cords rated for outdoor use and equipped with a third-wireground.NOTICE: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat.WARNINGElectric shock hazard. Damaged extension cords can cause electrical shock,resulting in serious injury or death. DO NOT use worn, bare, or frayed cords.f Replace damaged cords immediately.Current Load in Watts Maximum Cable Length in Feet(Amps) 120V 240V #10 #12 #14 #162.5 300 600 1000. 600 375 2505 600 1200 500 300 200 1257.5 900 1800 350 200 125 10010 1200 2400 250 150 100 -15 1800 3600 150 100 65 -20 2400 4800 125 75 50 -
