Connecting the Ground

The nut and ground terminal on the generator should always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The ground cable should be #8 size wire minimum.

At the generator, connect the terminal of the ground cable between the lock washer and the nut (Figure 4) and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to a suitable earth ground (ground rod).
