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 intended for outdoor use 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.
