The cord must be labeled "Outdoor Rated" (SJTW) to ensure the insulation can handle moisture and being dragged across the lawn.
Always verify that the cord is explicitly rated for 15 amps; standard 13-amp household cords are a fire hazard with this equipment.

For a 15-amp motor, you must use at least a 14-gauge (14/3 AWG) extension cord for distances up to 50 feet.
If the cord is between 50 and 100 feet, you must upgrade to a 12-gauge (12/3 AWG) cord to prevent voltage drop and motor damage.
Avoid using cords longer than 100 feet, as the power loss can cause the 15-amp motor to overheat and significantly shorten its lifespan.
