Figure 3. Generator Grounding
CONNECTING THE GROUND
Consult with local Electrical and Safety Codes for proper
connection based on condition of use.
EXAMPLE of how to ground the unit if the condition
of use requires such a device:
The ground terminal on the generator should always be
used to connect the generator to a suitable ground when
required.
The ground cable should be #8 size wire (aluminum)
minimum. If copper wire is used, #10 size wire minimum
should be used.
Connect one end of the ground cable terminal to the
generator ground point (Figure 3). Connect the other end
of the ground cable to a suitable earth ground (ground rod).
