INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this model by Generac Power Systems,

READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the near-
est Authorized Service Dealer for starting, 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 par-
ticular operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly
or carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as
follows:
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR
ACTION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
NOTE:
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure
and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the action or 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 (i.e., the driver) is responsible for the proper and safe
use of the vehicle and its equipment, and for the safety of all vehicle
occupants. Before using this equipment, we strongly recommend
that the operator read this manual and thoroughly understand all
instructions. We also strongly recommend instructing other occu-
pants in the vehicle to properly start and operate the generator. This
prepares them to operate the equipment in case of an emergency.
CONTENTS
This manual contains pertinent owner’s information, including
warranty, electrical diagrams, exploded views, and lists of repair
parts for generator model number 005432-0. In addition, the lat-
ter portion of this manual contains information necessary for the
proper installation of these generators.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks, to
make sure that all maintenance for safe operation is performed
promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by
an Authorized Service Dealer. Normal maintenance service
and replacement of parts are the responsibilities of the owner/
operator and, as such, are not considered defects in materials or
workmanship within the terms of the warranty. Individual oper-
ating habits and usage contribute to the need for maintenance
service.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator minimizes prob-
lems and operating expenses. See the Authorized Service Dealer
for service aids and accessories.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE
When the generator requires servicing or repairs, simply contact
an Authorized Service Dealer for assistance. Service technicians
are factory-trained and are capable of handling all service needs.
When contacting an Authorized Service Dealer or the factory about
