Grounding the Generator
KDAR recommends generators be properly con-
nected to an appropriate earth ground to help pre-
vent electric shock. The ground terminal found on
the control panel is connected to the frame of the
generator for this purpose. Connecting a length of
heavy gauge (6 AWG minimum) copper wire be-
tween the generator and a copper rod driven into
the ground should provide an acceptable ground
connection. Please contact a local qualified electri-
cian to insure local codes are being followed.
Spark Arresting Muffler
All Hot Max generators are equipped with spark
arresting mufflers allowing for use around agricul-
tural crops, forests, brush, grass and other similar
items. Spark arresting mufflers are required in the
State of California and on some U.S. Forest Ser-
vice Land and may also be legally required under
other statutes and ordinances. The California stat-
ues requiring a spark arresting muffler are Sections
13005(b), 4442 and 4443.
