Make sure you check the generator is running at the correct voltage and frequency before you plug sensitive equipment in, or expensive damage could occur.

We once had an issue with a three phase generator system where one of the three phases was 'motorboating' from the other two. Fortunately we checked everything, so nothing was damaged and nobody got hurt - a serious consideration with three phase in particular.

Check that there is a decent earthing spike, too.
