Safety Rules & General Information

Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generators 1

Section 1: Safety Rules & General Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high

performance, air-cooled, engine-driven generator. It is

designed to automatically supply electrical power to

operate critical loads during a utility power failure.

This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal

enclosure that is intended exclusively for outdoor

installation. This generator will operate using either vapor

withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).

NOTE: When sized properly, this generator is suitable for

supplying typical residential loads such as induction

motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners,

furnaces, etc.), electronic components (computer,

monitor, TV, etc.), lighting loads and microwaves.

Read This Manual Thoroughly

If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact

the nearest Independent Authorized Service Dealer for

starting, operating and servicing procedures.

This manual must be used in conjunction with the

appropriate Installation Manual.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: The manufacturer

suggests that this manual and the rules for safe operation

be copied and posted near the unit installation site.

Safety should be stressed to all operators and potential

operators of this equipment.

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 operation that may be

hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe

them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:

NOTE: Notes provide additional information important to

a procedure or component.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards they

indicate. Observing safety precautions and strict

compliance with the special instructions while performing

the action or service are essential to preventing accidents.

The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of

the equipment. The manufacturer strongly recommends

that if the operator is also the owner, to read the Owner’s

Manual and thoroughly understand all instructions before

using this equipment. The manufacturer also strongly

recommends instructing other users to properly start and

operate the unit. This prepares them if they need to

operate the equipment in an emergency.

How to Obtain Service

When the generator requires servicing or repairs, contact

an Independent Authorized Service Dealer for

assistance. Service technicians are factory-trained and

are capable of handling all service needs. For assistance

locating a dealer, go to www.generac.com/Service/

DealerLocator/.

When contacting a dealer about parts and service,

always supply the complete model number and serial

number of the unit as given on its data decal, which is

located on the generator. See The Generator for decal

location.

Safety Rules & General Information

2Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generators

Safety Rules

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.

The manufacturer cannot 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 using a procedure, work

method, or operating technique the manufacturer does not

specifically recommend, verify that it is safe for others.

Also, make sure the procedure, work method or operating

technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.

General Hazards

Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest

Independent Authorized Service Dealer for parts needing

repair or replacement.

(000190)

Safety Rules & General Information

Owner’s Manual for 50 Hz Air-Cooled Generators 3

Exhaust Hazards

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 installed and

operated outdoors only.

Electrical Hazards

This unit is tested in accordance to UL 2200 standards with an operating temperature of -20 ºF (-29 ºC) to 122 ºF

(50 ºC). For areas where temperatures fall below 32 ºF (0 ºC) a cold weather kit is recommended. When operated

above 77 ºF (25 ºC) there may be a decrease in engine power. (Please reference the engine specifications section.

These generators are rated in accordance with UL 2200, 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 / joules 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.
