Do you ground your Inverter genset?

I picked up a new Yamaha 3000 watt inverter and noticed the ground connection on the control panel. Reading the manual it looks like it is a safety feature. Do most of you ground it and what do you use? Is a 14 gauge automotive wire with an alligator clip attached to a piece of rebar sufficient?

i have a yamaha 2400 inverter , i have never grounded it yet ,but i guess you could if you wanted to.

I have seen most not ground them so I was curious who does and doesn't.

When I first got mine I fashioned a stake from rebar like you mentioned and ran heavy wire to the ground connection. Havent bothered for years! Just took the ground wire and rebar off this year before I sold it.
