The questions everyone asks after they buy one
Two rules that save lives
Never run a generator in a garage, porch or near a window. Keep it at least 20 feet from the house, exhaust pointed away. Carbon monoxide kills in minutes.
Never backfeed through a dryer outlet. A ‘double-male’ cord can electrocute a lineman down the street. Your plan uses only safe, legal ways to connect.
