EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
This generator is an engine–driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical
lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads.This manual
contains information for a generator that operates
120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz devices that
require up to 7,000 watts (7.0 kW) of power that pull up
to 58.3 Amps at 120 Volts or 29.2 Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION! Do Not exceed the generator’s
wattage/amperage capacity.Add up the rated watts of all
devices you are connecting to generator receptacles at one
time.This total should not be greater than 7,000 watts. See
“Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 11.
The generator’s revolving field is driven at about 3600 rpm
by a single-cylinder engine.
Every effort has been made to ensure that information in
this manual is accurate and current. However, Generac
reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve
the product and this document at any time without prior
notice.
CAUTION! Do Not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase risk of personal injury or
damage to equipment.The generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage only when
running at proper governed speed. Incorrect
frequency and/or voltage can damage some
connected electrical loads. Operating at excessively
low speeds imposes a heavy load.When adequate
engine power is not available engine life may be
shortened.
