DANGER:
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.
diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in. diameter and
be listed as material 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 pro-
tection 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 genera-
tor is properly grounded.
NOTE: Your generator model may not look exactly the same as the model shown. Regardless of whether the generator head is
square or round, the grounding plug location is the same. If you have any questions about the location of the grounding plug on
your generator, please call us at 1-800-242-4672.
