GROUNDING
See Figure 3.
WARNING
properly ground the generator can result in electric
shock.
NOTICE
extension cords, tools, and appliances, or double-
insulated tools and appliances.
The generator neutral is bonded to the frame. There is
a permanent conductor between the generator (stator
wire) and the frame. If this generator will be used only with
cord and plug equipment connected to the receptacles
mounted on the generator, National Electric Code does
not require that the unit be grounded. However, other
methods of using the generator may require grounding
to reduce the risk of shock or electrocution.
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to
the intended use of the generator.
