5. Make sure there are no loads connectedto the generator.
6. The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Proper
grounding of the generator will prevent electrical shock in
the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in
connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipatestatic electricity, which often builds up in unguarded
devices.
7. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of
the generator.
CAUTION!
_t tarting the generator with accessories
connected to the 120 VAC outlets will
damage the generator and the connected
devices.
