Step 3 - Ground the Generator
 WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in
electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against grounding wire (see
figure 5). A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire. This grounding wire should be connected at the other
end to a copper or brass-grounding rod that is driven into the earth. Grounding
codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the
grounding regulations for your area.
