INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this model by Generac Power Systems
Inc. This model is designed and manufactured to supply electrical
power for recreational vehicles.
READ T HIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the near-
est Authorized Service Dealer for starting, operating and servicing
procedures.
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 care-
lessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
NOTE:
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure
and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the action or 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:
n
This symbol points out important safety
information that, if not followed, could
endanger personal safety and/or property of
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 (driver) is responsible for proper and safe use of the
vehicle and its equipment, and the safety of all vehicle occupants.
We strongly recommend that the operator read this manual and
thoroughly understand all instructions before using this equipment.
We also strongly recommend instructing other occupants in the
vehicle to properly start and operate the generator. This prepares
them if they need to operate the equipment in an emergency.
C ONTENTS
This manual contains pertinent owner’s information, including
warranty, electrical diagrams, exploded views and lists of repair
parts. In addition, the latter portion of this manual contains infor-
mation necessary for the proper installation of these generators.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks, to
make sure that all maintenance for safe operation is performed
promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by
an 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 workman-
ship within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits
and usage contribute to the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensures a minimum
number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum.
See an Authorized Service Dealer for service aids and acces-
sories.
HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE

an Authorized Service Dealer for assistance. Service technicians
are factory-trained and are capable of handling all service needs.
