GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
NOTE:
It is recommended that only a trained and licensed electrician perform this procedure.
(Generators without a permanent installation may not need to be grounded, check local codes and
ordinances. Local codes and ordinances may vary. Always check local codes and install in
accordance with all laws).
Connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the Generator Grounding Lug
(shown at left) on the front of the generator to a grounding rod (not included) that has
been driven at least 24 inches deep into the earth. The grounding rod must be an
earth-driven copper or brass rod (electrode), which can adequately ground the
Generator.
