Power Systems, Inc.
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before
installing, operating or servicing this equipment.
Become familiar with this manual and with the unit.
The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reli-
ably 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 warn-
ings in this manual, and on tags and decals
affixed to the unit, are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If
using a procedure, work method or operating tech-
nique Generac does not specifically recommend,
ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the
procedure, work method or operating technique that
chosen does not render the generator unsafe.
Despite the safe design of this generator,
operating this equipment imprudently, neglect-
ing its maintenance or being careless can cause
possible injury or death. Permit only responsi-
ble and capable persons to operate or maintain
this equipment.
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.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot
during operation. Exercise care near running
generators.
GENERAL HAZAR
DS
For safety reasons, Generac recommends
that the installation, initial start-up and mainte-
nance of this equipment is carried out by a
Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This
dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentra-
tions, can cause unconsciousness or even death.
Never operate the generator set with the vehicle
inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT
OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST
SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED.
SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISON-
ING ARE (a) inability to think coherently, (b) nau-
sea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throb-
bing temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h)
weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF EXPERIENCING
ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH
AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET
MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the generator and do
not operate it until it has been inspected and
repaired.
Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is run-
ning unless the vehicle has a working carbon
monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be
installed in accordance with the genset installation
manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when
operating the genset in a confined area.
• 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 venti-
lating air is critical to correct generator operation
and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel
vapors from the generator compartment. Without
sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator
quickly overheats, which causes serious damage to
the generator. Do not alter the installation or per-
mit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,
as this can seriously affect safe operation of the
generator.
When working on this equipment, remain alert at
all times. Never work on the equipment when
physically or mentally fatigued.
Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the
nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer imme-
diately for parts needing repair or replacement.
