CONNECTION TO HOUSEHOLD POWER SUPPLY
This generator must be installed in accordance with all appli-
cable local laws and electrical codes. The generator must be
isolated from the utility and the connection must be verified by
a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

The ground terminal on the frame must always be used
to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The
ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the
grounding wire securely to the ground terminal. Connect the
other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in
which to establish a good ground source. Examples given be-
low illustrate a few of the ways in which a good ground source
may be established.
A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the
earth for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If
an pipe is unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be
used as the ground source. The pipe should be 3/4 inch trade
size or larger and the outer surface must be noncorrosive. If a
steel or iron rod is used it should be at least 5/8 inch diameter
and if a nonferrous rod is used it should be at least 1/2 inch
diameter and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the rod
or pipe to a depth of 8 feet. If a rock bottom is encountered
less than 4 feet down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench. All
electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator,
must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be "Dou-
ble Insulated".
It is recommended to:
1. Use electrical devices with 3 prong power cords.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3 prong
plug at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground
protection from the generator to appliance.
We strongly recommend that all applicable federal, state
and local regulations relating to grounding specifications be
checked and followed.
AC USAGE
Do NOT overload the generator. Exceeding the rated power
of the generator can damage the generator and the electrical
devices connected to it.
Motor-driven devices require a large starting current. Make
sure that the total power requirement of these types of loads
