DANGER
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
To avoid the risk of shock or electrocution, generator must be properly grounded. The nut and ground terminal on the
frame must always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be made
with #8 size wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut
fully. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in which
to establish a good ground source. If a steel or iron rod is used,
it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is
used, it should be at least 1/2 in. diameter and be listed as
material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8
ft. If a rock bottom is encountered less than 4 ft. down, bury
the rod or pipe in a trench.
All electrical tools and appliances operated from this genera-
tor must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be
“Double Insulated.”
It is recommended to:
1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3-pole receptacle and a
3-prong plug at opposite ends to ensure continuity of the
ground protection from the generator to the appliance.
Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a
qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as
to whether the generator is properly grounded.
