Section 1: Safety Information
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this compact, high perfor-
mance, air-cooled, engine-driven generator. It is
designed to automatically supply direct current (DC) elec-
trical power to the Generac PWRcell Clean Energy Sys-
tem for the purpose of charging storage batteries during
utility outages or periods of low solar output.
This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal
enclosure intended exclusively for outdoor installation.
This generator will operate using either vapor withdrawn
liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).
NOTE:
This unit is specifically designed as a backup
power source and to communicate with the PWRcell
inverter. Generator will charge PWRcell batteries when
solar cells through PVlink™ and utility power are not suf-
ficient to maintain minimum battery state of charge.
NOTE: California Residents:
This unit may only be uti-
lized as an emergency backup power source, used only
when grid power is unavailable.
