Product Manual

If a licensed electrician installs the generator with a connection to your

building’s electrical circuit for use as a back-up power system, grounding

may alternatively be completed through the building’s grounding system.

Ask your electrician.

If the generator is not grounded through your building’s system, follow the

procedure below. This procedure can only be carried out by a licensed

electrician.

1. Drive a ¾” or 1” copper pipe or rod into the

Ground close to the generator. The pipe/rod

must penetrate moist earth – the depth required

will be dictated by local soil conditions.

2. Connect an approved ground clamp

to the pipe.

3. Run a 10-gauge wire from the clamp to the

generator grounding post located on the rear

of the generator head.

4. Do not connect the generator grounding post

to a water pipe or a ground used by the radio system.

EXTENSION CORDS

Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a

distance from the generator. However, use only Australian approved

outdoor-rated, grounded extension cords.

Locate the generator in a convenient place and where possible, avoid

long extension leads and possible damage to leads by pedestrian or

vehicular traffic.

Extension leads should be heavy duty with at least 1mm of appropriate

current rating and in any case, not less that 1mm cross-section of

conductor and must incorporate an earthing conductor to ensure that

there is not any voltage difference between the generator set and any
