SAFETY
Throughout this publication, DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION
blocks are used to alert the mechanic to special instructions
concerning a particular service or operation that might be
hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them
carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied
with, will result in serious personal injury, including death.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied
with, could result in serious personal injury, including death.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly complied
with, might result in minor or moderate injury.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates follows:
This symbol points out important safety information that,
if not followed, could endanger personal safety and/or
property of others.
This symbol points out potential explosion hazard.
This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
This symbol points out potential electrical shock hazard.
These “Safety Alerts” alone cannot eliminate the hazards that
they signal. Strict compliance with these special instructions
plus “common sense” are major accident prevention measures.
READTHIS MANUALTHOROUGHLY
This SERVICE MANUAL has been written and published by
Generac to aid our dealers' technicians and company service
personnel when servicing the products described herein.
It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with the servicing
procedures for these products, or like or similar products
manufactured and marketed by Generac, and that they have
been trained in the recommended servicing procedures for these
products, including the use of common hand tools and any
special Generac tools or tools from other suppliers.
Generac could not possibly know of and advise the service
trade of all conceivable procedures by which a service might
be performed and of the possible hazards and/or results
of each method. We have not undertaken any such wide
evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses a procedure or tool
not recommended by Generac must first satisfy themselves that
neither his nor the products safety will be endangered by the
service procedure selected.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual
are based on the latest product information available at the time
of publication.
When working on these products, remember that the electrical
system and engine ignition system are capable of violent and
damaging short circuits or severe electrical shocks. If you
intend to perform work where electrical terminals could be
grounded or touched, the battery cables should be disconnected
at the battery.
Any time the intake or exhaust openings of the engine are
exposed during service, they should be covered to prevent
accidental entry of foreign material. Entry of such materials will
result in extensive damage when the engine Is started.
During any maintenance procedure, replacement fasteners must
have the same measurements and strength as the fasteners
that were removed. Metric bolts and nuts have numbers
that indicate their strength. Customary bolts use radial lines
to indicate strength while most customary nuts do not have
strength markings. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can
cause damage, malfunction and possible injury.
Note: Special Notes appear in bold type throughout this
publication. While not pertaining to safety, they emphasize
procedures, circumstances or specifications that require
special attention.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing this equipment, it is extremely important that all
components be properly installed and tightened. If improperly
installed and tightened, sparks could ignite fuel vapors from fuel
system leaks.

Normal Operating Range: This unit is tested in accordance to UL 2200 standards with an operating temperature of -20 °F (-29 °C) to 122 °F. (50 °C). For areas
where temperatures fall below 32 °F (0 °C), a cold weather kit is highly recommended. When operated above 77º F (25º C) there may be a decrease in engine
power. (Please reference the engine specifications section).
These generators are rated in accordance with UL2200, 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 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.

* Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambient temperature and altitude. Engine power decreases about 3.5 percent for each
1,000 feet above sea level; and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 6 C (10 F) above 16 C (60 F) ambient temperature.
Caution: Specifications are for reference only, for actual installations always use the most recent version available online.
These specifications are subject to change without notice.
