EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION

This

generator

is

an

engine-driven,

revolving

field,

alternating

current

(AC)

generator.

It

was

designed

to

supply

electrical

power

for

operating

compatible

electrical

lighting,

appliance,

tool

and

motor

loads.

This

manual

contains

information

for

a

generator

that

operates

120

and/or

240

volts,

single

phase,

60Hz

devices

that

require

up

to

10000

watts

(10

kW)

of

power

that

pull

up

to

83.3

amps

at

120

volts

or

41.7

amps

at

240

volts.

CAUTION:

Do

not

exceed

the

generator’s

wattage/amperage

capacity.

Add

up

the

rated

watts

of

all

devices

you

are

connect¬

ing

to

generator

receptacles

at

one

time.

This

total

should

not

be

greater

than

10000

watts

for

this

generator.

In

most

cases

rated

watts

of

the

electrical

device

can

be

found

on

the

device

nameplate.

If

the

device

nameplate

gives

only

volts

and

amps,

multiply

volts

times

amps

to

obtain

watts

(volts

x

amps

=

watts).

The

generator’s

revolving

field

is

driven

at

about

3600

rpm

by

a

twin-cylinder

engine.

Every

effort

has

been

expended

to

make

sure

that

the

information

in

this

manual

is

both

accurate

and

cur¬

rent.

However,

Generac

reserves

the

right

to

change,

alter

or

otherwise

improve

the

product

at

any

time

without

prior

notice.

DANGER:

Do

not

tamper

with

engine

governed

speed.

High

operating

speeds

are

dangerous

and

increase

the

risk

of

personal

injury

or

damage

to

equipment.

The

generator

supplies

correctly

rated

frequency

and

voltage

only

when

running

at

proper

governed

speed.

Incorrect

fre¬

quency

and/or

voltage

can

damage

some

connected

electrical

loads.

Operating

at

excessively

low

speeds

imposes

a

heavy

load

and,

when

adequate

engine

power

is

not

available,

may

shorten

engine

life.

GROUNDING

THE

GENERATOR

The

National

Electric

Code

requires

the

frame

and

external

electrically

conductive

parts

of

the

generator

be

properly

connected

to

approved

earth

ground.

Local

electrical

codes

may

also

require

proper

grounding

of

the

unit.

For

this

purpose,

a

GROUND

LUG

(Figure

grounding

rod

(electrode)

provides

adequate

protection

Add

Fuel

A

DANGER:

NEVER

fill

fuel

tank

indoors.

NEVER

fill

fuel

tank

when

engine

is

running

or

hot.

DO

NOT

light

a

cigarette

or

smoke

when

filling

the

fuel

tank.

A

CAUTION:

Do

not

overfill

the

fuel

tank.

Always

allow

room

(about

1/2”)

for

fuel

expan¬

sion.

IMPORTANT:

It

is

important

to

prevent

gum

deposits

from

forming

in

essential

fuel

system

parts

such

as

the

carburetor,

fuel

filter,

fuel

hose

or

tank

during

stor¬

age.

Also,

experience

indicates

that

alcohol-blended

fuels

(called

gasohol,

ethanol

or

methanol)

can

attract

moisture

which

leads

to

separation

and

formation

of

acids

during

storage.

Acidic

gas

can

damage

the

fuel

system

of

an

engine

while

in

storage.

To

avoid

engine

problems,

the

fuel

system

should

be

emptied

before

storage

of

30

days

or

longer.

Drain

the

gas

tank,

start

the

engine

and

let

it

run

until

the

fuel

lines

and

carburetor

are

empty.

Use

fresh

fuel

next

season.

See

"Storage”

Instructions

on

page

for

additional

information.

Never

use

engine

or

carburetor

cleaner

products

in

the

fuel

tank

or

permanent

damage

may

occur.

To

add

fuel:

•

Clean

area

around

fuel

fill

cap,

remove

cap.

•

Add

“UNLEADED”

regular

gasoline,

slowly,

to

fuel

tank.

Leave

about

a

1/2”

space

in

the

fuel

tank

for

fuel

expansion.

Do

not

overfill

fuel

tank.

•

Install

in

excess

of

its

capacity

can

result

in

damage

to

generator

and

to

connected

electrical

devices.

Observe

the

fol¬

lowing,

to

prevent

overloading

the

unit:

•

Add

up

the

total

wattage

of

all

electrical

devices

to

be

connected

at

one

time.

This

total

should

NOT

be

greater

than

the

can

usually

be

found

on

a

data

plate

or

decal

affixed

to

the

does

not

give

wattage,

multiply

volts

times

ampere

rating

to

deter¬

mine

watts

(volts

Be

sure

you

allow

for

this

high

ENGINE

PROTECTIVE

DEVICES

M

Low

Oil

Pressure

Shutdown

System

The

engine

is

equipped

with

a

low

oil

pressure

sensor

that

shuts

down

the

engine

automatically

when

the

oil

pressure

drops

below

6

psi.

If

the

engine

shuts

down

by

itself

and

the

fuel

tank

has

enough

gasoline,

check

engine

oil

level.

1.

Initial

Start-up:

A

delay

built

in

the

shutdown

system

allows

oil

pressure

to

build

during

starting.

The

delay

allows

the

engine

to

run

for

about

10

sec¬

onds

before

sensing

oil

pressure.

2.

Sensing

Low

Pressure:

If

the

system

senses

low

oil

pressure

during

operation,

the

engine

shuts

down.

3.

Restarting:

If

you

try

to

restart

the

engine

within

5

to

10

seconds

after

it

shuts

down,

the

engine

may

NOT

start.

The

system

needs

5

to

10

seconds

to

reset.

IMPORTANT:

If

you

do

restart

the

engine

after

such

a

shutdown

and

not

corrected

the

low

oil

pressure,

the

engine

runs

for

about

10

seconds

as

described

above

and

then

stops.
