CONNECTING GENERATOR TO THE THE GROUND
The nut and ground terminal on the generator should
always be used to connect the generator to the suit-

(aluminum) minimum. If copper wire is used, #10 size
wire minimum should be used.
At the generator, connect the terminal of the ground
cable between the look washer and the nut and tight-
