When on Guam, and using a (please forgive the foul language) "Coleman" (phew, glad that's over) 5500ER dead-awakening-device, I connected to a grounding rod I installed for just that purpose. When I returned to the States and foolishly brought it with me, I installed a rod there also.
Why? Several folks on Guam received significant shocks when not using grounding. One generator burned up, but I'm not sure that had anything to do with grounding. Shocks are not common, but neither are they rare. Maybe grounding is more important for larger generators.
