The ground terminal located on the front panel of the generator may be used for additional grounding,
or when connected to a structure. Connect the ground terminal to an earthen ground rod, driven six
feet into the ground. with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects to the
terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure proper connection.
Grounding thegenerator protects you from electric shock that results from a build up of static electricity
or undetected ground faults.

• Let engine run for several seconds and then gradually, as engine warms up, slide the choke lever towards the “RUN”
position until the choke is fully adjusted to the “RUN” position. (See fig 13)
WHEN USING PROPANE
• Connect the PROPANE hose to the PROPANE tank then to the generator; Open the PROPANE valve on the tank. (See fig 8)
• Turn the fuel selector to the “PROPANE” position (See fig 10)
• Slide the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position. (See fig 11) SKIP THIS IF THE ENGINE IS WARM OR HOT.
