• 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.

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.
ƽ 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.
Ꮨ 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.
ƽ Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during
operation. Exercise care near running generators.
ƽ GENERAL HAZARDS ƽ
• Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors.
• For safety reasons, GENERAC
®
recommends that the
maintenance of this equipment is carried out by a GENERAC
®
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 properly maintained. You must
do nothing that might render the exhaust system unsafe or in
noncompliance with any local codes and/or 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
®
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.
