Ground System
-
The portable generator stator winding is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin; and
-
Electrical devices that require a connection between one conductor pin and the grounded receptacle pin may not function properly.
This generator is equipped with a system ground to prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances.
To ground this generator, perform the following steps:
-
Ensure engine is OFF and fuel valve switch is OFF.
-
Using a mallet, drive a grounding rod 4 ft. into the ground.
-
Wrap a length of bare copper grounding wire tightly around the grounding rod or use a grounding clamp.
-
Slightly loosen bolt on ground terminal. Allow enough space to wrap copper wire.
-
Using the other end of the copper wire, tightly wrap the wire around the terminal.
