Grounding the Generator

To reduce the risk of shock or electrocution, generator must be properly grounded. The nut and 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 terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.

The National Electric Code contains several practical			ways in	which
to establish a good ground source. If a steel or iron rod is used, it should be					at least 5/8	in. diam-
eter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it	should be	at	least 1/2	in. diameter and be listed		as mate-
rial for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe	to a depth	of	8 ft. If a	rock bottom is	encountered	less than
4 ft. 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 grounded plugs.

2.Use an extension cord with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to the appliance.

Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the generator is properly grounded.
