• Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads connected to

receptacles AND with connected devices turned ON. Start the

engine and let it stabilize before connecting electrical loads.

Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting down the

generator.

• Do not insert objects through unit's cooling slots.

•

Never operate generator:

in rain; in any enclosed

compartment; if connected electrical devices overheat; if

electrical output is lost; if engine or generator sparks; if flames

or smoke are observed while unit is running; if unit vibrates

excessively.

Note: Your generator is equipped with a spark arrestor
muffler. The spark arrestor must be maintained in
effective working order by the owner/ operator. In the
State of California, a spark arrestor is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources
Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal
laws apply on federal lands.

Study these

SAFETY RULES

carefully before installing,

operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this

Owner’s Manual

and with the unit. The generator can operate

safely, efficiently and reliably only if it is properly installed,

operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to

follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.

GENERAC

cannot possibly anticipate every possible

circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this

manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore,

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

operating technique GENERAC

does not specifically recommend,

you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You

also must make sure the procedure, work method or operating

technique that you choose does not render the generator unsafe.

Despite the safe design of this generator, operating
this equipment imprudently, neglecting its
maintenance or being careless can cause possible
injury or death. Permit only responsible and capable
persons to operate or maintain this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these
machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render
the machine safe before attempting to work on
the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during

operation. Exercise care near running generators.

GENERAL HAZARDS

• For safety reasons, GENERAC

recommends that the

installation, initial start-up and maintenance of this equipment

is carried out by a GENERAC

/GUARDIAN

Authorized Dealer.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which

can be

DEADLY.

This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient

concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death.

This exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict

compliance with applicable codes and standards. Following

installation, you must do nothing that might render the system

unsafe or in noncompliance with such codes and standards.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans,

and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or

fan guard while the unit is operating.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is

critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the

installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation

provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the

generator. The generator

MUST

be operated outdoors.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times.

Never work on the equipment when you are physically or

mentally fatigued.

• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact your nearest

GENERAC

/GUARDIAN

Authorized Dealer for parts needing

repair or replacement.

• Before performing any maintenance on the generator,

disconnect its battery cables to prevent accidental start up.

Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a

NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.

• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping

on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in

dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases,

fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS warranty) for 2001 and later model year LSI engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty period shall begin on the date the new engine or

equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or equipment and to each

subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is...

(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the CARB pursuant to its authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part

to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer's application for certification.

The ECS Warranty pertains only to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the

Owner's Manual

shall be warranted

for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection

(4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the

Owner's Manual

shall be warranted for the ECS

Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period.

Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the

Owner's Manual

shall be warranted for the

period of time prior to first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired

or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS warranty shall be

warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a Generac

Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the purchaser/owner shall not be held responsible for diagnostic

costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.

(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications caused by a failure under warranty of any

emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.

(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand

for such emission-related parts.

(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS warranty maintenance or repairs

and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac RCS Warranty obligations.

(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts nay not be used to modify or repair a Generac engine. Such use voids this ECS

Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any

warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or "grey market" part.

EMISSION RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

* Generac engine types covered by this warranty statement include the following:
1) Prepackaged Standby Generator
2) Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Generator
