GENERATOR PREPARATION
STEP 4 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety, the genera-
tor should be properly grounded.
Ground generator by tightening grounding nut (Fig. 10 - 1) on the front
control panel against a grounding wire. A generally acceptable ground-
ing wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.
This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a copper,
brass, or steel grounding rod that is driven into the earth. Wire and
grounding rods are not included with the generator.
NOTE: Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electri-
cian to check the area codes.
WARNING! Failure to properly ground the generator increases your risk of electric shock.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 3000 FEET
The fuel system on this generator may be affected by operation at high altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured
by installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than 2000 feet above sea level. At elevations above 7000 feet, the en-
gine may experience a decrease in performance, even with the proper altitude kit. Operating this generator without
said kit may increase the engine’s emissions and decrease both fuel economy and performance.
You can order the kit at wenproducts.com by searching part GN9500-HA36 or GN9500-HA68. There are two kits -
one for altitudes between 3000 and 6000 feet (GN9500-HA36), and the other for altitudes from 6000 to 8000 feet
(GN9500-HA68). This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. Refer to the instructions included with your
altitude kit for more information about installation.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury from fire, follow the kit installation procedures in a well-ventilated
area away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait for it to cool before
proceeding. Do not smoke near the generator. Warranty will be void if adjustments are not made for high altitude
use.
CAUTION: Engines with the high-altitude kit installed operated at lower altitudes could cause severe engine dam-
age and affect emissions compliance. Be sure to uninstall the high altitude kit when operating at altitudes below
2000 feet.
After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.
