Step 3 - Ground the Generator
Failure to properly ground this generator can result in electrocution.
Ground this generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire as illustrated in Figure 3. A No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
stranded copper wire is generally an acceptable grounding wire. The other end of this grounding wire should be connected to a copper or brass
grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician for information on grounding regulations for your area.

Subsequent Use of this Generator
For subsequent uses of this generator after the first use, certain steps still must be completed to prepare it for operation.
IMPORTANT: Be familiar with the procedures described in the previous section titled “Using the Generator for the First Time” of this
manual. If not, review this section now.
Step 1 - Verify Oil Level
Even though this generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from damage due to low oil, it is important to check the oil level in the
engine crankcase before each use to ensure that there is sufficient quantity.
1. Verify that this generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the dipstick that is located on the inside of the cap.
4. Fully insert the dipstick without screwing the filler/dipstick cap and then remove again. There should be oil on the dipstick. If there is no oil on the
dipstick, or oil is visible only at the very end of the dipstick, add oil until the engine crankcase is filled. (See “Changing/Adding Oil” in the
“Maintenance/Care” section of this manual).
5. Confirm that the oil filler/dipstick cap is properly screwed in place when finished verifying the oil level.
