I hardly ever use mine so here is what I do.
Make a sign that says TURN OFF MAIN BREAKER. Then I wired a extension cord with two 220 volt male plug. Attach the sign to the extension cord. My Box has a lock on it so after I turn off the main breaker I lock it. Then I turn off all the other circuits. make sure everything in the house is turned off on the circuits you are going to power up. Start generator,let it run for a couple of minutes. Connect extension cord to the 220 volt outlet the other end to the 220 out of the GEN. I use the compressor outlet in the garage because it is on its own circuit. Turn the breaker on for the 220 outlet the Gen. is on and then start one by one turning on the NEEDED circuits. Do not over load.

I knew of this, and your warning is exactly why I didn't pass it on. I'm not sure it should remain here. Bad [i]ju ju[/i] written all over it. [:O]

Some people would say the same about ar15.com [:O] yet we still dispense information because we trust that person on the other side to act appropriately.
The person who told/showed me how to do this is a VA Power lineman.
There are plenty of board members who are competent and will have no problem following the instructions as written.
Safety applies to all things that can kill or maim , not just firearms.
