INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this model of the standby gen-
erator set product line by Generac Power Systems.
Every effort was expended to make sure that the infor-
mation and instructions in this manual were both accu-
rate and current at the time the manual was written.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change,
alter or otherwise improve this product(s) at any time
without prior notice.
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If you do not understand any portion of this manual,
contact Generac or your nearest Generac Authorized
Service Dealer for starting, operating and servicing pro-
cedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and
decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert you to spe-
cial instruction about a particular service or operation
that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or care-
lessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as fol-
lows:
After this heading, you can read instructions that, if
not strictly complied with, will result in personal injury
or property damage.
After this heading, you can read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, may result in personal injury or
property damage.
After this heading, you can read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, could result in damage to equip-
ment and/or property.
NOTE:
After this heading, you can read explanatory state-
ments that require special emphasis.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that
they indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with
the special instructions while performing the 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 you and 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 is responsible for proper and safe use of
the equipment. We strongly recommend that the opera-
tor read this Owner's Manual and thoroughly under-
stand all instructions before using this equipment. We
also strongly recommend instructing other users to
properly start and operate the unit. This prepares them
if they need to operate the equipment in an emergency.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety
checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe oper-
ation is performed promptly, and to have the equipment
checked periodically by a Generac Authorized Service
Dealer. Normal maintenance service and replacement of
parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and,
as such, are not considered defects in materials or work-
manship within the terms of the warranty. Individual
operating habits and usage contribute to the need for
maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your generator ensure a
minimum number of problems and keep operating
expenses at a minimum. See your Generac Authorized
Service Dealer for service aids and accessories.
Operating instructions presented in this manual
assume that the standby electric system has been
installed by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer or
other competent, qualified contractor. Installation of
this equipment is not a “do-it-yourself” project.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE
When your generator requires servicing or repairs, sim-
ply contact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer for
assistance. Service technicians are factory-trained and
are capable of handling all of your service needs.
When contacting a Generac Authorized Service Dealer
or the factory about parts and service, always supply the
complete model number of your unit as given on the
front cover of this manual or on the DATA CARD affixed
to the unit.
