4.11 Grounding the Generator
Location A ground terminal (a) is located on the control panel.
Function This ground terminal is used for electrically grounding the generator when
necessary to comply with the National Electrical Code and other federal, state, and
local regulations. For grounding requirements in your area, consult with a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction over electrical
compliance.

If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional
regulations which must be observed.

In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility
companies.

There is a conductor between the generator (stator neutral winding) and the
frame.
Note: The noncurrent-carrying metal parts of a Wacker Neuson portable generator,
such as the fuel tank, engine, and generator housing, and the equipment
grounding conductor terminals of the power receptacles are bonded to the
generator frame.
4.12 Operating the Main Circuit Breaker
The generator is protected by a main breaker located on the control
panel (see
Control Panel ). The circuit breaker protects the
generator from severe overloads or short circuits. If the circuit
breaker opens, turn the engine off immediately and determine the
cause before restarting. Check the appliances and tools attached
to the generator for defects and make sure their power
requirements do not exceed the power rating of the generator or
the current limit of the receptacles.
When the circuit breaker trips/opens (O), the breaker lever will snap down. To reset
circuit breaker, lift lever up (l).
