Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator
has been provided on the power panel. For remote
grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG

terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We
