Terminal (On Front Panel)
2 Grounding Cable (Not
Supplied)
3 Metal Vehicle Frame
Connect cable from equipmen
ground terminal to metal vehicle
frame. Use #10 AWG or large
insulated copper wire.
. Electrically bond generato
frame to vehicle frame by met
al-to-metal contact.
Bed liners, shipping skids
and some running gear insu
late the welding generator
from the vehicle frame. Al
ways connect a ground wire
from the generator equip
ment grounding terminal to
bare metal on the vehicle
