Grounding

The National Electric Code requires your generator
must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the
generator can result in electric
shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of
the generator has been provided on the control
panel. For remote grounding, connect of a
length of heavy gauge (12 AWG minimum)
copper wire between the generator ground
terminal and a copper rod driven into the
ground. We strongly recommend that you
consult with a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with local electrical codes.
THERE IS A PERMANENT CONDUCTOR BETWEEN
