INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this model of the standby gen-
erator set product line by Generac Power Systems.
Every effort was expended to make sure that the infor-
mation and instructions in this manual were both accu-
rate and current at the time the manual was written.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change,
alter or otherwise improve this product(s) at any time
without prior notice.
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact
the nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer for start-
ing, operating and servicing procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and
decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel
to special instructions about a particular service or oper-
ation that may 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 personal injury or property
damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly
complied with, may result in personal injury or property
damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly
complied with, could result in damage to equipment
and/or property.
NOTE:
After this heading, read explanatory statements
that require special emphasis.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that
they indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with
the special instructions while performing the service are
essential to preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of
information each indicates is as 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.
The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of
the equipment. We strongly recommend that the opera-
tor read this Owner's Manual and thoroughly under-
stand all instructions before using this equipment. We
also strongly recommend instructing other users to
properly start and operate the unit. This prepares them
if they need to operate the equipment in an emergency.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety
checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe oper-
ation is performed promptly, and to have the equipment
checked periodically by a Generac Authorized Service
Dealer. Normal maintenance service and replacement of
parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and,
as such, are not considered defects in materials or work-
manship within the terms of the warranty. Individual
operating habits and usage contribute to the need for
maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensures a
minimum number of problems and keep operating
expenses at a minimum. See a Generac Authorized
Service Dealer for service aids and accessories.
Operating instructions presented in this manual
assume that the standby electric system has been
installed by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer or
other competent, qualified contractor. Installation of
this equipment is not a “do-it-yourself” project.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE
When the generator requires servicing or repairs, con-
tact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.
Service technicians are factory-trained and are capable
of handling all service needs.
When contacting a Generac Authorized Service Dealer
about parts and service, always supply the complete
