Generator Safety Tips
While winning a generator is exciting, it’s crucial to remember safety first! Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
1. Read the Manual: Familiarize yourself with the generator’s operation manual to understand how to use it safely.
2. Proper Placement: Always operate your generator outdoors, ensuring it is positioned at least 20 feet away from doors, windows, and vents. This distance significantly reduces the risk of carbon monoxide entering your home and helps maintain a safe environment.
3. Use Extension Cords: If you need to power appliances, use heavy-duty extension cords to prevent voltage drops and overheating.
4. Regular Maintenance: Keep your generator in good working order by performing periodic maintenance checks, including oil changes and fuel filter replacements.
5. Fuel Safety: Store fuel in a cool, safe area and handle it with care to avoid spills or accidents. Never refuel the generator while it's running. Instead, wait until it has cooled down completely to ensure safe filling.
Prepare your home and family for hurricane season with Lakeland Electric's exciting generator giveaway and stay connected with outage alerts. Don’t miss your chance to enter. Fill out the survey today, and you could be the lucky winner announced at the end of the month!
Stay safe, stay prepared, and keep your loved ones secure this storm season!
