Operating Instructions
2. Use of a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) is strongly recommended.
Ground Fault Interrupters can
significantly reduce the possibility of
injury if an electrical short occurs. In
order to install a GFI, the generator
neutral wire must be internally
grounded to the generator frame,
and the frame must be properly
grounded to the earth.

GROUNDING
1. Use the ground terminal and wing
nut on the generator frame to
connect the unit to a suitable
ground source. Securely fasten the
end terminal of the ground wire to
the ground terminal on the
generator frame. Tighten the
washer and wing nut on top of the
ground wire end terminal.

2. The ground wire should be made of
#8 gauge wire. Do not use wire with
a higher gauge number. Higher
gauge numbers indicate thinner
wire, which may not provide an
adequate ground path.
