General Inspection Prior to Operation
This generator has been thoroughly inspected prior to
shipment from the factory. However, be sure to check for
damaged parts or components, or loose nuts and bolts, which
could have occurred in transit.
Ground
The nut and ground terminal on the generator should always
be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The
ground path should be of #8 size wire.
Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock
washer and the nut and tighten the nut fully. Connect their
end of the wire to a suitable ground.
Ground the Generator
Ground the generator from its ground connector so that
resistance to ground is 500 ohms or less.
Ground the Tool
Ground the tool (load) in the same manner as the generator.

Circuit Breaker
To protect the generator from an overload, circuit breakers are
provided for single (60 Hz) phase on the control box. Make
sure to switch the circuit breakers to the "OFF" position
prior to starting the engine.
Extension Cable
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or loads at
some distance from the generator, extension cords are normally
used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in length and
amperage so that the voltage drop between the generator and
point of use (load) is held to a minimum. Use the cable selection
chart (Table 2 ) as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
