A. This generator is equipped with a grounding screw located on the generator frame. Always complete the

grounding path from the generator to a copper pipe/rod that is driven into moist earth to prevent electric shock.

B. Always use grounded male plugs. The neutral line of the generator is mechanically grounded to the frame.

Matching NEMA male plugs must always be used. Electric shock could result.
C. Always use electrical cords in good condition. Worn, bare, frayed or damaged cords can cause electric shock.
D. Always use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp or highly electrical conductive areas and on

construction job sites to prevent electric shock.
