4.7 Check the protective conductor (valid for
devices up to year of construction 12/2015)
Proceed as follows to check the protective conductor con-
nection between the generator and the consumer.
The following requirements must be met:
a started generator (see 4.4)
device is connected (see 4.6)
device switched off
WARNING!
Electric shocks cause injury or death.
Maximum line length 100m for 2.5mm

.
If necessary create the potential equalization using other
electrically conductive parts, for example a vehicle.
Do not connect the generator to an existing electrical
grid
.
