To connect your portable generator to GenerLink a GenerLok power cord is
required. The GenerLok power cord consists of three components:
A. GenerLok™ connector
B. connector for your generator
C. 8 gauge power cord (4 wire)
The GenerLok™ Connector:
GenerLink is equipped with GenerLok, a
unique connector that allows for quick and
easy connection to your portable generator.
GenerLok locks in place when connected to
GenerLink. GenerLok is not a threaded
connector. Therefore, twisting of the locking
sleeve is not necessary to ensure a tight
connection. NOTE: GenerLok will
always be fitted on one end of the power cord.

GenerLink is connected to the generator’s 120/240-volt AC receptacle using a
GenerLok power cord with the appropriate generator connection. Generators have
different types of receptacles depending on the type of generator, the type of power
provided, and the size of the generator. Some generators are rated for only 120-volt
or only 240-volt output; neither are appropriate for powering your home through
GenerLink. If

Check your generator for one of the
receptacles in Diagram 6. These receptacles are rated for 120/240-volt output, which
is what you need to run your home. If your generator does not have one of these
receptacles, it should not be used with GenerLink. Your GenerLok power cord will
be fitted with a male plug compatible with one of the following generator
