Section 1 Introduction and Safety

Introduction

Read This Manual Thoroughly

If any section of this manual is not understood,

contact the nearest Independent Authorized

Service Dealer (IASD) or Generac Customer

Service at 1-888-436-3722 (1-888-GEN-

ERAC), or visit www.generac.com for start-

ing, operating, and servicing procedures. The

owner is responsible for proper maintenance

and safe use of the unit.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS for future ref-

erence. This manual contains important

instructions that must be followed during

placement, operation, and maintenance of the

unit and its components. Always supply this

manual to any individual that will use this unit,

and instruct them on how to correctly start,

operate, and stop the unit in case of emer-

gency.

The information in this manual is accurate

based on products produced at the time of

publication. The manufacturer reserves the

right to make technical updates, corrections,

and product revisions at any time without

notice.

Safety Rules

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every

possible circumstance that might involve a

hazard. The alerts in this manual, and on tags

and decals affixed to the unit, are not all inclu-

sive. If using a procedure, work method, or

operating technique that the manufacturer

does not specifically recommend, verify that it

is safe for others and does not render the

equipment unsafe.

Throughout this publication, and on tags and

decals affixed to the unit, DANGER, WARN-

ING, 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. Alert definitions are as follows:

NOTE: Notes contain additional information

important to a procedure and will be found

within the regular text of this manual.

These safety alerts cannot eliminate the haz-

ards that they indicate. Common sense and

strict compliance with the special instructions

while performing the action or service are

essential to preventing accidents.

Safety Symbols and Meanings

• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after

the generator has been running, move to

fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as

you could have carbon monoxide poison-

ing.

(000100a)

WARNING

Consult Manual. Read and understand manual

completely before using product. Failure to

completely understand manual and product

could result in death or serious injury.

(000001)

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

(000002)

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

(000003)

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in minor or moderate injury.

DANGER

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is

a poison you cannot see or smell.

NEVER use inside a home

or garage, EVEN IF doors

and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and

far away from windows,

doors, and vents.

000657

(000103)

DANGER

Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon

monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.

Carbon monoxide, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

(000179b)

DANGER

Asphyxiation. The exhaust system must be properly

maintained. Do not alter or modify the exhaust system

as to render it unsafe or make it noncompliant with

local codes and/or standards. Failure to do so will

result in death or serious injury.

2 Owner’s Manual for Portable Generator

• For safety reasons, it is recommended that

the maintenance of this equipment be per-

formed by an IASD. Inspect the generator

regularly, and contact the nearest IASD for

parts needing repair or replacement.

Exhaust and Location Hazards

• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after

the generator has been running, move to

fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as

you could have carbon monoxide poison-

ing.

(000104)

DANGER

Electrocution. Water contact with a power source,

if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

(000116)

DANGER

Electrocution. Turn utility and emergency

power supplies to OFF before connecting power

source and load lines. Failure to do so will result

in death or serious injury.

(000146)

WARNING

Equipment and property damage. Do not alter

construction of, installation, or block ventilation for

generator. Failure to do so could result in unsafe

operation or damage to the generator.

(000178a)

Asphyxiation. Always use a battery operated carbon

monoxide alarm indoors and installed according to

the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so

could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

(000250)

WARNING

Equipment and property damage. Do not operate unit on

uneven surfaces, or areas of excessive moisture, dirt, dust

or corrosive vapors. Doing so could result in death, serious

injury, property and equipment damage.

(000111)

WARNING

Moving Parts. Keep clothing, hair, and appendages

away from moving parts. Failure to do so could

result in death or serious injury.

(000108)

WARNING

Hot Surfaces. When operting machine, do not

touch hot surfaces. Keep machine away from

combustables during use. Hot surfaces

could result in severe burns or fire.

(000142a)

Personal injury. Do not insert any object through the

air cooling slots. Generator can start at any time and

could result in death, serious injury, and unit damage.

WARNING

Risk of injury. Do not operate or service this machine

if not fully alert. Fatigue can impair the ability to

service this equipment and could result in death or

serious injury. (000215)

WARNING

Injury and equipment damage. Do not use generator

as a step. Doing so could result in falling, damaged

parts, unsafe equipment operation, and could result

in death or serious injury. (000216)

CAUTION

(000291)

Equipment damage. Do not attempt to start or operate

a unit in need of repair or scheduled maintenance.

Doing so could result in serious injury, death, or

equipment failure or damage.

generator. Failure to do so could result in unsafe

operation or damage to the generator.

WARNING

(000590)

Fire Risk. Hot engine exhaust can ignite certain

materials. Maintain at least five feet clearance on all

sides of the generator, including overhead, to reduce

risk of fire, property damage, or personal injury.

Owner’s Manual for Portable Generator 3

• NEVER run a generator indoors or in a

partly enclosed area such as garages.

• ONLY use outdoors and far away from win-

dows, doors, vents, crawl spaces and in an

area where adequate ventilation is avail-

able and will not accumulate deadly

exhaust gas.

• Using a fan or opening a door will not pro-

vide sufficient ventilation.

• Point muffler exhaust away from people

and occupied buildings.

Electrical Hazards

• The National Electric Code (NEC) requires

the frame and external electrically conduc-

tive parts of the generator be properly con-

nected to an approved earth ground. Local

electrical codes may also require proper

grounding of the generator. Consult with a

local electrician for grounding requirements

in the area.

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any

damp or highly conductive area (such as

metal decking or steel work).

• Once generator has been started outside,

connect electrical loads to extension

cord(s) inside.

Fire Hazards

• Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately.

Verify that no combustible materials are left

on or near the generator. Keep the area

surrounding the generator clean and free

from debris and keep a clearance of five (5)

feet on all sides to allow for proper ventila-

tion of the generator and to reduce the risk

of fire. Do not use in an enclosed or par-

tially enclosed structure.

• Do not operate the generator if connected

electrical devices overheat, if electrical out-

put is lost, if engine or generator sparks or

if flames or smoke are observed while unit

is running.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator

at all times.

Hour Meter

See Figure 2-3. The Hour Meter tracks hours

of operation for scheduled maintenance.

• The CHG OIL display will illuminate every

100 hours. The message will flash one hour

before and one hour after each 100 hour

interval, providing a two hour window to

perform service.

• The SVC display will illuminate every 100

hours. The message will flash one hour

before and one hour after each 200 hour

interval providing a two hour window to per-

form service.

When the hour meter is in flash alert mode,

the maintenance message will alternate with

elapsed time in hours and tenths. The hours

will flash four times, then alternate with the

maintenance message four times until the

meter automatically resets.

• 100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Inter-

val (Every 100 hrs)

• 200 hours - SVC — Service Air Filter
