z Avoid operating the engine with a dust cover.

4ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTION
z Never operate the engine in rain or snow.
z Never touch the machine with wet hands or electrical shock will
occur.
z Be sure to ground (earth) the generator.
The National Electric Code requires that the frame of generator
and the external electrically conductive parts of the generator be connected to an approved earth
ground. Local codes may differ and require other grounding specifications. For this purpose,
please use the ground wire that attaches from the frame to the generator unit.
Using a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the frame and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod provides sufficient safety against shock. However, local
codes may differ. Contact a local electrician to find out specifications for grounding your generator
