GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
A grounding lug is supplied with the generator for use
when required by local electrical ordinances. Refer to
article 250 of the National Electrical Code to clarify
any needed grounding information. Your local electric
company or a certified electrician should be able to
help you with this information.
