electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction
for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended
use of generator.
The National Electric Code requires the generator to
be
connected to an earth ground. Before using the generator,
connect a copper wire (minimum 14 AWG) from the
ground terminal (see Figure 4) to an earth ground. Consult a licensed electrician for proper grounding methods.
FIGURE 4: Ground Terminal (SF2200 model illustrated)
NOTE:
The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral
wire. If using a receptacle tester, it will not show the same
ground circuit condition as for a home receptacle.
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State Occupational
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or
ordinances that apply to the intended use of generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector,
or the local agency having jurisdiction.
• In some areas, generators are required to be regis-
tered with local utility companies.
• If generator is used at a construction site, there may
be additional regulations which must be observed.

during a power outage.
utility power is restored, generator may explode,
burn, or cause fires in building's electrical system.
The National Electric Code requires any generator connected to a building’s electrical wiring utilize a transfer
switch installed by a licensed electrician.
What is a transfer switch?
A transfer switch is a device that allows switching
from utility power to emergency generator power.
The transfer switch is either a manual switch, an
automatic switch, or a combination of manual and
automatic. During a power outage, the transfer
switch isolates emergency circuits from the utility
line, allowing for efficient operation of the generator
without back-feeding into utility power.
