Specifications

Setup

Follow these steps to properly set up your generator extension cord:

1. Inspect the Cord: Before each use, visually inspect the entire length of the cord, both plugs, and the female connector for any signs of damage, cuts, or wear. Ensure the pins are straight and clean.
2. Position the Generator: Place your generator in a well-ventilated area, away from windows, doors, and vents, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Ensure it is on a level, dry surface.
3. Connect to Generator: Insert the NEMA N14-50P male plug into the corresponding 50 Amp outlet on your generator. Ensure it is fully seated.
4. Connect to Load: Insert the SS2-50R (CS6364 compatible) female twist-lock connector into your power inlet box, RV, or other compatible 50 Amp receptacle. Twist the connector clockwise until it locks securely into place. This twist-lock mechanism is crucial for a firm, weather-resistant connection.

Operating

Once the cord is securely connected, you can operate your generator and connected appliances.

1. Start Generator: Follow your generator's manufacturer instructions to start it safely.
2. Apply Power: Once the generator is running stably, switch on the appropriate breakers on your generator and/or power inlet box to supply power to your connected load.
3. Monitor Connections: Periodically check the cord and connections for any signs of overheating (e.g., hot to the touch, melting plastic, burning smell). If any issues are detected, immediately shut down the generator and disconnect the cord.
4. Disconnecting: To disconnect, first turn off the load and then the generator. Unplug the cord from the generator and then unlock and unplug the female connector from the load. Use the ergonomic grip on the N14-50P plug for easier handling.
