Boy, did I forget something. First test the genny, to make sure it has two good 120v sides on the 240v circuit. A light bulb will do for testing. I start by turning on the well pump with my genny, but I already know my genny won't kill the well pump. If you use the wrong genny (maybe Jim Cathey can tell us why) the well pump is the most expensive thing you could fry, so it's a bad place to start.
