GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE
EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS
TO WHETHER THE UNIT IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
The ground terminal on the frame must always 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. (Fig. 7)
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways
in which to establish a good ground source. Examples
given below illustrate a few of the ways in which a good
ground source may be established.
A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with
the earth for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding
source. If an pipe is unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe
or rod may be used as the ground source. The pipe should
be 3/4 inch trade size or larger and the outer surface must
be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod is used it should be
at least 5/8 inch diameter and if a nonferrous rod is used
it should be at least 1/2 inch diameter and be listed as
material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth
of 8 feet. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 4 feet
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 3 prong power 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 federal, state
and local regulations relating to grounding specifications
be checked and followed.
CAUTION:
1. If the words "NEUTRAL BONDED TO FRAME "is
displayed on the control panel of inverter generator.
For inverter generator provided with a neutral bonded
to the frame or with GFCI function, please pay attention
to following words:
