CONNECTING THE GROUND
The nut and ground terminal on the generator should always
be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The
ground cable should be #8 size wire minimum.
At the generator, connect the terminal of the ground cable
between the lock washer and the nut (Figure 2) and tighten
the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to
a suitable earth ground (ground rod).
INSTALLATION
Figure 2. Generator Grounding
PAGE 14 — GAC9.7HZ 60 HZ GENERATOR• OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #2 (03/31/10)
INSTALLATION
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
If possible install the generator in a area that is free of
debris, bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure
the generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot
slide or shift around.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and
grounding.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to
engine and alternator parts.
WARNING
Pay close attention to ventilation when
operating the generator inside tunnels
and caves. The engine exhaust contains
noxious elements. Engine exhaust must
be routed to a ventilated area
GENERATOR GROUNDING
To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to
the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH
ground.
Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) provides guide lines for proper grounding and
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following
grounding requirements:
1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the
generator to earth ground.
a. Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.
b. Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.
2. When grounding the generator (Figure 2) connect the
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on
the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the
other end of the ground cable to earth ground.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
Exhaust gases from gas engines are extremely poisonous.
Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust
fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine should
be installed at least two feet from any outside wall. Using
an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can cause
excessive back pressure which will cause the engine to
heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.
PLACEMENT
The generator should always be placed on a flat level
surface when it is running. DO NOT place the generator
on slopes, the possibility exists that the generator could
slide.
DANGER
An electric shock is apt to happen when
vibrators are used. Pay close attention to
handling when operating vibrators and
always use rubber boots and gloves to
insulate the body from a short circuit.
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground rod
should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
NOTICE
When connecting the generator to any buildings
electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.

need for a ground. These types of double-insulated
power cords are designed so that no part of the device
will be electrically live even if the internal insulation fails.
Extension Cable
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or
loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords
are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for
distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop
between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a
minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 3) as a guide
for selecting proper cable size.
DANGER
NEVER use power tools or equipment that do not
have a ground capability, the possibility exists of
electrocution, electrical shock or burn, which can cause
severe bodily harm or even DEATH!
