2.A good electrical connection must be made to one or more ground rods, using at least a 10AWG ground wire and noncorrosive hardware.

3.The grounding system must comply with electrical codes and safety standards that apply in your locality.

4.Have a qualified electrician verify that your RoamAbout Outdoor installation is properly grounded.
