Before operating make sure to ground the generator. A ground terminal identified by the
ground symbol (Fig.4) can be found on the front control panel of the generator, attach a
metal spike to a wire, attach the wire to the ground terminal and ground the metal spike
into the earth. Your local electrical company or certified electrician should be able to help
you with this information. See Fig.4.

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas! Make sure all electrical appliances are unplugged before attempting to start
