13. Never operate the generator with damaged, broken or missing parts, or with any guarding components removed.

Shut off the

! DANGER generator engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any service or maintenance to the unit.

14. Use only unleaded fuel. Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Use precautions to prevent fuel spillage during refills. Be sure the fuel tank cap is securely in place before starting the engine. Allow engine to cool for at least two minutes before refueling.

Operation

PRE-OPERATION

1.Check engine oil level every time you start your generator. Refer to the Engine Manual for SAE, API and fill quantity specifications.

2.Use of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is strongly recommended. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters can significantly reduce the possibility of injury if an electrical short occurs.

		A Ground Fault
	! WARNING
		Circuit Interrupter

may not be effective if used on a generator that is not grounded!

3.When installing a GFCI, be sure to follow all national and local regulations, or call a licensed or certified electrical technician.

GROUNDING

1.Use the ground terminal and wing nut on the generator frame to connect the unit to a suitable ground source. Securely fasten the end terminal of the ground wire to the ground terminal on the generator frame. Tighten the washer and wing nut on top of the ground wire end terminal.

2.The ground wire should be made of #8 gauge wire. Do not use wire with

a higher gauge number. Higher gauge numbers indicate thinner wire, which may not provide an adequate ground path.

3.The other end of the ground wire must be securely fastened to an approved ground source.

The following are ground sources approved by the National Electric Code. Other ground sources may be acceptable. Refer to the National Electric Code and local regulations for further ground source information. If not sure of regulations or procedures, obtain assistance from a qualified (licensed or certified) electrical technician.

a. An underground water pipe at least ten feet in length.

b. A non-corrosive underground pipe at least eight feet in length and 3/4 inch diameter.

c.A steel or iron underground rod at least eight feet in length and 5/8 inch diameter.

d.A non-ferrous rod at least eight feet in length, 1/2 inch in diameter, and approved for grounding purposes.

Any rod or pipe used for grounding must be driven to eight feet deep or buried in the deepest possible trench.
