The National Electric Code contains several practical ways
in which to establish a good ground source. If a steel or iron
rod is used, it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a
nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in. diameter
and be listed as material for grounding. If a rock bottom is
encountered before reaching a depth of 8 ft., drive the ground
rod in at an angle of up to 45°. If the rock bottom is again
encountered, the rod can be buried in a trench that is at least
30 in. deep. In all cases, the upper end of the grounding rod
should either be ush with (or below) the ground or must be
otherwise protected from physical damage.
All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator
must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be "Double
Insulated". It's recommended to
1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs.
2. Use an extension cord intended for outdoor use with a
3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends
to ensure continuity of the ground protection from the
generator to the appliance.
Checking/AddingLubricant/Oil
mWARNING! Attempting to start the engine before it
has been properly lled with lubricant will result in equipment
failure.
Engine lubricant has a major inuence on engine performance
and service life. Always use a 4-stroke motor lubricant (oil)
that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service
classication SJ, SF, 10W-30 or 10W-40. Non-detergent or
2-stroke engine lubricants will damage the engine and should
not be used.
This engine comes with a feature that will shut o the engine
when a specic lubricant level is not maintained. The engine
will not restart until an appropriate lubricant level is reached.
Follow the instructions below to check and add lubricant.
1. Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove (Fig. 10).
2. Wipe dipstick clean and re-seat in hole; do not re-
thread. Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level.
Lubricant level should fall between the L mark and H mark
on the dipstick (Fig. 11).
3. If the lubricant (oil) level is low, add engine lubricant using
the equipped funnel. Make sure the generator is placed
on a stable and level surface when adding lubricant. Fill
with oil until the uid level rises to the upper portion of the
dipstick (Fig. 12).
4. Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
