Ensure your generator is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock from any ungrounded devices connected to it, and dissipate static electricity that may build up from devices connected to it. Grounding also helps dissipate static electricity which may build up in devices not grounded properly.
Make sure you adhere to recommended maintenance schedules. Check and refill engine oil after 8 hours of operation, followed by every 50 hours after that. Check cooling air slots and openings frequently to prevent dust build-up.
Power
Follow the Maintenance Schedule found in this manual, using only regular unleaded gasoline. Keep the generator free from dirt, dust, moisture and corrosion by regularly cleaning or replacing its spark plug and air filter as instructed.
Certain electric motors need up to three times as many watts to start as needed for running, so be sure to allow this extra surge when adding devices to your generator. Furthermore, consult local codes regarding the proper grounding of your generator as this can reduce electrical shock risk significantly; grounding lugs and wires are available specifically for this purpose.
