Section 1: Safety Rules & General Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high

performance, air-cooled, engine-driven generator. It is

designed to automatically supply electrical power to

operate critical loads during a utility power failure.

This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal

enclosure that is intended exclusively for outdoor

installation. This generator will operate using either vapor

withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).

NOTE: This generator is suitable for supplying typical

residential loads such as induction motors (sump pumps,

refrigerators, air conditioners, furnaces, etc.), electronic

components (computer, monitor, TV, etc.), lighting loads,

and microwaves, when sized properly.

The information in this manual is accurate based on

products produced at the time of publication. The

manufacturer reserves the right to make technical

updates, corrections, and product revisions at any time

without notice.

Read This Manual Thoroughly

If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact

the nearest Independent Authorized Service Dealer

(IASD) for starting, operating, and servicing procedures.

This manual must be used in conjunction with the

appropriate installation manual.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: The manufacturer

suggests that this manual and the rules for safe operation

be copied and posted near the unit installation site.

Safety should be stressed to all operators and potential

operators of this equipment.

Throughout this publication and on tags and decals

affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, and

CAUTION blocks are used to alert personnel to special

instructions about a particular operation that may be

hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe

them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:

NOTE: Notes provide additional information important to

a procedure or component.

These safety alerts cannot eliminate the hazards they

indicate. Observing safety precautions and strict compli-

ance with the special instructions while performing the

action or service are essential to preventing accidents.

The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of

the equipment. The manufacturer strongly recommends

that if the operator is also the owner, to read the owner’s

manual and thoroughly understand all instructions before

using this equipment. The manufacturer also strongly

recommends instructing other users to properly start and

operate the unit. This prepares them if they need to

operate the equipment in an emergency.

How to Obtain Service

Contact an IASD for assistance when the generator

requires servicing or repairs. Service technicians are

factory-trained and are capable of handling all service

needs. Please visit the dealer locator at:

www.generac.com/Service/DealerLocator/ to locate

the nearest IASD.

When contacting a dealer about parts and service,

always supply the complete model and serial numbers of

the unit as given on its data plate (decal), which is

located on the generator. See Figure 2-1 for decal

location. Record the model and serial numbers in the

spaces provided on the inside front cover of this manual.

accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and

fundamental rules or precautions.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible

circumstance that might involve a hazard. The alerts in

this manual and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are

not all-inclusive. If using a procedure, work method, or

operating technique the manufacturer does not

specifically recommend, verify that it is safe for others

and does not render the generator unsafe.

Normal Operating Range

This unit is tested in accordance to UL 2200 standards with an operating temperature of -20 ºF (-29 ºC) to 122 ºF

(50 ºC). For areas where temperatures fall below 32 ºF (0 ºC) a cold weather kit is recommended. When operated

above 77 ºF (25 ºC) there may be a decrease in engine power. (Please reference the engine specifications section.

These generators are rated in accordance with UL 2200, Safety Standard for Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies, and CSA-C22.2 No. 100-04

Standard for Motors and Generators.

* Natural Gas ratings will depend on specific fuel BTU / joules content. Typical derates are between 10-20% off the LP gas rating.

** Circuits to be moved must be protected by same size breaker. For example, a 15 amp circuit in the main panel must be a 15 amp circuit in the

transfer switch.
