General Location:

supply all electrical loads the unitwill power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools/equipment for connection to a separate Generator.

General Location:

1.It is recommended to locate the Generator (outdoors only) where cooling air is readily available. Locate the Generator so that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked by obstructions such as bushes, trees, or snow drifts. Locating it in the path of heavy winds or snowdrifts may require the placement of a barrier for protection. The air inlet, in normal weather conditions, should face the prevailing wind direction.

2.Locate the Generator on a concrete slab or other area where rain drainage or flood waters can not reach it.

3.Generator placement should allow four feet of access to all sides for maintenance and for proper air cooling.

4.Place the Generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment being powered to reduce the length of extension cords.

Grounding The Generator:

1.NOTE: It is recommended that only a trained and licensed electrician perform this procedure.

2.Connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the Grounding Nut (7) on the Generator to a grounding rod (not included) that has been driven at least 24 inches deep into the earth. The grounding rod must be an earth-driven copper or brass rod (electrode) which can adequately ground the Generator.
