Grounding
Ground the generator set. The grounding method must
comply with NEC and local codes.
grounding strap to the generator set ground lug,
terminal GND inside the controller compartment.
Generator sets are shipped with the generator neutral
bonded (connected) to the generator ground in the
junction box. The requirement for having a bonded
(grounded) neutral or ungrounded neutral is determined
by the type of installation. At installation, the neutral can
be grounded at the generator set or lifted from the
ground stud and isolated if the installation requires an
ungrounded neutral connection at the generator. The
generator set will operate properly with the neutral either
bonded to ground or isolated from ground at the
generator.
Various regulations and site configurations including the
National Electrical Code (NEC), local codes, and the
type of transfer switch used in the application determine
the grounding of the neutral at the generator. NEC
Section 250 is one example that has a very good
explanation of the neutral grounding requirements for
generators.

Battery Charger
A battery charger is factory-installed in the battery
compartment to keep the starting battery fully charged.
The battery charger's DC leads are factory-connected
to the battery. Supply power to the generator set for the
battery charger and carburetor heater as described in
Sections 1.8.2 and 1.8.3. Plug the battery charger's
power cord into the receptacle on the bottom of the
controller junction box.
Refer to the generator set operation manual for battery
charger operation information.
