Step 3- Ground the Generator
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in
electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut on the front control panel against a
grounding wire. (Figure 11) A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American
Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire. This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a
copper or brass rod that is driven into the earth. Wire and grounding rod are not included in
generator contents.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician for area codes.
