securely with screwdriver and hammer to ensure lock
nut is tight. Connect power leads (red & black) to the
circuit breaker lugs. Connect the neutral wire (white)
to terminal connection (NEUTRAL). Connect ground
wire (green) to grounding bolt with star washer below
all ground wire lugs. Tighten securely ensuring the star
washer makes good contact with metal base plate.

FUEL HOOKUP AND CHECK FOR LEAKS

and the generator using the supplied threaded flexible
fuel line. Use a pipe sealant suitable for gaseous fuel
connections. Check connections for leaks by opening
manual fuel shut-off valve and swab, or spray, con-
nections with soapy water. If a leak exists, the area will
bubble with the presence of the soapy water.
