INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this model manufactured by Generac
Power Systems Inc. This model is designed and manufactured to

READ THIS 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:
DANGER
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, will result in serious per-
sonal injury, including death.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, could result in serious per-
sonal injury, including death.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, might result in minor or
moderate injury.
NOTE:
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strictly
complied with, may result in damage to equipment and/or
property.
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 prevent-
ing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates follows:
This symbol points out important safety informa-
tion that, if not followed, could endanger per-
sonal safety and/or property of others.
This symbol points out potential explosion haz-
ard.
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.

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

number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum.
See an Authorized Service Dealer for service aids and acces-
