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.

consulting an authorized service center. Never run engine indoors or
in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas! Make sure all electrical appli-
ances are unplugged before attempting to start generator!

starter rope rewind slowly, repeat if necessary. Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and
