STEP 3 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety, the
generator should be properly grounded.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut on the
front control panel (Fig. 7) against a grounding wire. A gen-
erally acceptable grounding 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 gen-
erator.
NOTE: Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local
electrician to check the area codes.
WARNING:
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 3000 feet above sea level. At eleva-
tions above 8000 feet, the engine may experience a decrease in performance, even with the proper al-
titude kit. Operating this generator without said kit may increase the engine's emissions and decrease
both fuel economy and performance.
This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. You can order the kit at wenproducts.com by
searching part 56200i-HA36 for 3000 to 6000 feet above sea level or 56200i-HA68 for 6000 to 8000
feet above sea level. Refer to the instructions included with your altitude kit for more information
about installation.
WARNING:
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 damage and affect emissions compliance. Be sure to UNINSTALL the high altitude
kit when operating at altitudes below 3000 feet.
After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.
