WARNING:
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
If this generator will be used only with cord and plug-connected equipment,
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. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical
inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances to
find out if grounding is needed in your situation before using the generator.
When grounding is required, the nut and ground terminal on the frame are
used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path
should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire
between the lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut fully. Connect the
other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source that is in contact
with the soil for a minimum distance of 8 ft.
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in which to
establish a good ground source. If a steel or iron rod is used, it should be at
least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least
1/2 in. diameter and be listed as material for grounding. If a rock bottom
is encountered before reaching a depth of 8 ft., drive the ground rod in at an angle of up to 45°. If the rock bottom is
again encountered, the rod can be buried in a trench that is at least 30 in. deep. In all cases, the upper end of the
grounding rod should either be flush with (or below) the ground or must be otherwise protected from physical damage.
All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or
be "Double Insulated."
It is recommended to:
1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs.
2. Use an extension cord intended for outdoor use with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends to
ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to the appliance.
Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a
qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as
to whether the generator is properly grounded.
KEEP AT LEAST
20 FT.
