2.5.1 GROUNDINGTHEGENERATORWHENUSEDASA
PORTABLE
This generator has an equipment ground that connects the
generatorframe componentsto the ground terminals on the AC
output receptacles (see NEC 250.34 (A) for explanation).This
allows the generatorto be used as a portable without grounding
the frame of the generatorasspecifiedin NEC250.34.
SpecialRequirements
There may be Federalor State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration(OSHA)regulations,local codes, or ordinancesthat
applyto the intendeduse of the generator.
Pleaseconsult a qualified electrician,electrical inspector, or the
local agencyhavingjurisdiction:
* In some areas, generators are requiredto be registeredwith
local utilitycompanies.
* If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be
additionalregulationswhich must be observed.
2.5.2 CONNECTINGTHEGENERATORTO,4BU/LD/NG'S
ELECTRICALSYSTEM
When connecting directly to a building's electrical system, it is
recommended that a manual transfer switch is used. Connections for
a portable generatorto a building's electrical system must be made by
a qualifiedelectrician and in strict compliance with all national and local
electrical codes and laws.

If service work is performed on the alternator, DO NOTdiscard
the white jumper wires from the terminal block to the alternator
ground, located on the rear bearing carrier. Always make sure
the wires are properly connected beforeusingthe generatorafter
