Grounding Instructions
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the unit is properly grounded for your local regulations.
The ground terminal on the frame can be used to connect the
generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be
made with #8 size wire. Connect the grounding wire securely to
the ground terminal. Connect the other end of the wire securely to
a suitable ground source.
A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth
for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If a pipe is
unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be used as the
ground source. The pipe should be 3/4" diameter or larger and the
outer surface must be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod is used
it should be at least 5/8" diameter and if a nonferrous rod is used
it should be at least 1/2" diameter and be listed as material for
grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8'. If a rock bottom
is encountered less than 4' down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench.
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 approved grounded extension cords.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3 prong plug
at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground protection
from the generator to appliance.
We strongly recommend that all applicable regulations relating to
grounding specifications be checked and followed.
• Failure to do so could cause the engine to seize if the oil is low
or empty.
PREPARING THE GENERATOR
