3.3 Grounding method
3.3.1 Ground terminal
The generator ground terminal“1”is connected to the
frame of the generator, metal non-current-carrying
generator parts and the ground terminals of each
receptacle.
3.3.2 Connections to a building's electrical system
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the
generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage. Consult the utility company or a
qualified electrician.
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the
utility company to backfeed into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator
may explode, burn, or cause a fire in the building’s electrical system.
3.3.3 Ground system
AIRMAN’s generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the
ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The AC neutral wire is connected to the system
ground.

3.3.4 GFCI (Ground-fault circuit interrupter) Receptacles

Using the generator in rain, snow or near water can lead to death from electric shock. Keep the
generator dry.
All of the 20 ampere 120 volt receptacles on the generator are protected by a GFCI
(Ground-fault circuit interrupter) for protection against the hazards of ground fault currents.
An example of ground-fault current is the current which would flow through a person who is
using an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an
electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter will not protect against short circuits or overloads. The
circuit breaker in the control panel which supplies power to the circuit provides that
protection.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter can be identified by the TEST and RESET buttons. The
receptacles on the GFCI can be tested with the TEST and RESET buttons.
TEST BUTTON: To test, depress the “TEST” button. (power is turned off)
RESET BUTTON: To restore power, depress the “RESET” button.
Perform this test monthly or every 250 hours operation whichever comes first, in order to ensure
proper operation of the GFCI receptacle. If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the
weather, test the GFCI receptacle before each use. Record your test on the GFCI test card provided
on the control panel.
