General Inspection Prior to Operation
The DCA-400SSK generator has been thoroughly inspected

loads at some distance from the generator, extension
cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow
for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage
drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held
to a minimum. Use the Cable Selection Guide (Table 10)
as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
