Step 3- Ground the Generator

WARNING:

Failure to properly ground the generator can result in

electrocution.

Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against grounding wire (see figure 11). A
generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper
wire. This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to a copper or brass grounding rod
that is driven into the earth. Wire and grounding rod are not included in generator contents.

Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the grounding
regulations for your area.
