supply all electrical loads the unitwill power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s
capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools/equipment for
connection to a separate Generator.
General Location:
1. It is recommended to locate the Generator (outdoors only) where cooling air is
readily available. Locate the Generator so that the air inlets and outlets are not
blocked by obstructions such as bushes, trees, or snow drifts. Locating it in the
path of heavy winds or snowdrifts may require the placement of a barrier for
protection. The air inlet, in normal weather conditions, should face the prevailing
wind direction.
2. Locate the Generator on a concrete slab or other area where rain drainage or
flood waters can not reach it.
3. Generator placement should allow four feet of access to all sides for maintenance
and for proper air cooling.
4. Place the Generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment
being powered to reduce the length of extension cords.
Grounding The Generator:
1. NOTE: It is recommended that only a trained and licensed electrician perform
this procedure.
2. Connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the Grounding Nut (7) on
the Generator to a grounding rod (not included) that has been driven at least 24
inches deep into the earth. The grounding rod must be an earth-driven copper
or brass rod (electrode) which can adequately ground the Generator.
