Failure to properly ground the
generator can result in electric

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.
