GDP-5H — INSTALLATION

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 6) and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to a suitable earth ground (ground rod).

DANGER

Some of the MQ GDP5H portable generators (S/N 5541050 and below) have been configured with the ground of the aramature floating. This configuration may

lead to an electrical shock if the generator is not properly grounded.To prevent electrical shock, ALWAYS connect generator to a good earth ground.

MQ GDP5H portable generators

NOTE (S/N 5543730 and above) have the aramature grounded.

These units are grounded properly.
