) copper wire to generator's ground
2
connection and to a galvanized steel grounding
rod (not provided) driven 3.3 ft. (1 m) into
ground.
Connecting Alternating Current (AC)
NOTE: Ensure all electric devices including
lines and plug connection are in good
condition before connection to
generator.
NOTE: Ensure total load is within generator
rated output.
NOTE: Ensure receptacle load current is within
receptacle rated current.
1. Start engine.
2. Plug into AC receptacle (C, D or G).
3. Turn on any electric devices.
AC Rated Power
