Frame Ground Connection

WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require proper grounding of generator systems.

The NEC requires that the frame and exposed metal surfaces be at local ground reference potential to avoid electrical shock hazard. A local ground reference may require a driven earth ground conductor at the generator installation site. Make the ground connection as shown in Figure 3-2. Use the appropriate size wire (normally 6 AWG) as required by NEC and local codes. The local reference ground is normally a copper clad earth ground rod driven into the earth at least 8 feet.

Engine Oil	The generator is shipped dry. This means no oil is in the engine crankcase and no fuel is in the
	fuel tank. Refer to section 5 of this manual for lubricant and fuel requirements and obtain the
	correct type and quantity of engine motor oil and fuel.
	1.	Refer to section 5 of this manual and add the required amount of engine oil.
	2.	Refer to section 5 of this manual and add the appropriate amount of fuel.

After installation, the post installation checks must be performed prior to starting the engine. After these checks have been performed and the system operation is verified to be good, refer to Section 5 Maintenance for periodic checks that must be performed at scheduled intervals to ensure continued operation with minimal problems.
