I recently purchased a portable Coleman generator (6875 max load) and although it is very handy, we have well water at home and I was wondering if there was a way to wire the well pump in to the 220 plug on the generator. I spoke with someone at the local hardware store and they sold me a 50 foot length of 12/2 cable with a ground. One end is bare wires (black, white & ground) and the other end has a 220 plug. They further explained to attach the bare wires to the pump and plug the other end in to the generator. When I got home I opened the electrical connection box on the well pump and discovered four wires: Grey, black and two white wires. Can anyone tell me exactly where to attach the leads from the generator? I'm a little confused because of the 3 wires from the generator vs. the 4 connections on the pump.
Any and all help will be most appreciated.
