Power outage generator backup
How to Start a Generator
- move generator to the back of the kitchen (never run generator inside the building because generator produces carbon monoxide which is poisonous) and on flat ground.
- ground the generator ( to reduce chance of electrical shock )
- check fuel level
- turn the fuel valve to the “on” position.
- plug in both cord ends (white color end to generator receptacle and red color end to the house inlet box)
- put the generator circuit breaker to "on" position.
- turn engine switch "on" to start the generator.
- go to the kitchen attic and flip the main breakers from "Live" to "Generator" power.
