Protect 50A power cord?

My power cord is essentially out all the time lying on the ground.

Is it advisable to do anything to protect the rubber sheath?

Thanks.

  • I wipe our 18 year old 50 amp power cord down with 303 periodically, partly because it helps keep dirt from sticking to it. That makes stowing it during moves a little less messy.
  • If your feeling like you have free time and want to mess around with something... Wipe it down with coat of 303 protectant. If not, don't worry
  • I would wipe it down occaisonally to remove dirty and other contaminantes. Something like Armorall will help somewhat.

    Mine is 15 years old including 3 years in S.E. Ga sun (Harsh) ... No issues.

    Now you may need to protect it from the lawn mower.
