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. Consulta 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.
