PRE-OPERATION
1. Check engine oil level every time
you start your generator. Refer to
the Engine Manual for SAE, API and
fill quantity specifications.

Interrupters can significantly reduce
the possibility of injury if an electrical
short occurs.
A Ground Fault

!
Circuit Interrupter
may not be effective if used on a
generator that is not grounded!
3. When installing a GFCI, be sure to
follow all national and local
regulations, or call a licensed or
certified electrical technician.

adequate ground path.
3. The other end of the ground wire
must be securely fastened to an
approved ground source.
The following are ground sources
approved by the National Electric Code.
Other ground sources may be
acceptable. Refer to the National
Electric Code and local regulations for
further ground source information. If
not sure of regulations or procedures,
obtain assistance from a qualified
(licensed or certified) electrical
technician.

least ten feet in length.
b. A non-corrosive underground
pipe at least eight feet in length
and 3/4 inch diameter.
c. A steel or iron underground rod
at least eight feet in length and
5/8 inch diameter.
d. A non-ferrous rod at least eight
feet in length, 1/2 inch in
diameter, and approved for
grounding purposes.
Any rod or pipe used for grounding
must be driven to eight feet deep or
buried in the deepest possible trench.
