EARTHING OF GENERATOR Earthing of generators helps protect the user from electric shock or electrocution which may be caused due to malfunction or breakdown. This threat to the user is prevented by creating a path of least resistance for the electrical current to travel to the ground which inherently absorbs the over-current or short circuit.

Use electrical devices with 3-prong power cords 2. Use extension cords with a 3-hole receptacle and a 3-prong plug on opposite ends to maintain earth protection from the generator to the appliance.

Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or crucial carburettor parts. To keep fuel fresh, add a fuel stabiliser liquid additive to fuel. The fuel stabiliser is available at most auto parts stores.
