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 possibility

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 using a procedure,

work method or operating technique Generac does

not specifically recommend, satisfy yourself that it is

safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work

method or operating technique chosen does not ren-

der the generator unsafe.

Despite the safe design of this generator, oper-

ating this equipment imprudently, neglecting

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 HAZARDS

• For safety reasons, Generac recommends that the

maintenance 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 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 POISONING ARE (a)

inability to think coherently, (b) nausea, (c) vomit-

ing, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throbbing temples,

(f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h) weakness, and (i)

sleepiness. IF EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE

SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDI-

ATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL

HELP. Shut down the generator and do not operate

it until it has been inspected and repaired.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox-

ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if

breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause

unconsciousness or even death. This exhaust sys-

tem must be installed properly, in strict compli-

ance with applicable codes and standards.

Following installation, do nothing that might ren-

der the system unsafe or in noncompliance with

such codes and standards. Never operate this

equipment with a leaking or defective exhaust sys-

tem.

• 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. Without sufficient cooling air-

flow, the engine/generator overheats, which causes

serious damage to the generator. Do not alter the

installation or permit even partial blockage of ven-

tilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe

operation of the generator.

followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and batteries.

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 3

• 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 immedi-

ately for parts needing repair or replacement.

• Before performing any maintenance on the genera-

tor, disconnect its battery cables to prevent acci-

dental start up. Disconnect the cable from the bat-

tery 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 con-

ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage,

oil leakage, etc.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• The generator covered by this manual produces

dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal

electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter-

minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running.

Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers

are in place before operating the generator. If work

must be done around an operating unit, stand on

an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.

• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while

standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands

or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL

SHOCK MAY RESULT.

• During installation, have the generator properly

grounded (bonded) by means of an approved

bonding conductor. DO NOT disconnect the bond-

ing conductor. DO NOT reconnect the bonding

conductor to any generator part that might be

removed or disassembled during routine mainte-

nance. If the grounding conductor must be

replaced, use only a flexible conductor that is of

No. 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper wire

minimum.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, imme-

diately shut down the source of electrical power. If

this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from

the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT

WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting imple-

ment, such as a dry rope or board, to free the vic-

tim from the live conductor. If the victim is uncon-

scious, apply first aid and get immediate medical

help.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip-

ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in

electric shock, or may get caught in moving com-

ponents causing injury.

FIRE HAZARDS

• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and

maintained properly. Installation always must

comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and

regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and

national electrical and building codes. Comply

with regulations the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) has established.

Also, ensure that the generator is installed in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

and recommendations. Following proper installa-

tion, do nothing that might alter a safe installation

and render the unit in noncompliance with the

aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regu-

lations.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS

• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any oil

spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible

materials are left in the generator compartment, or

tor. Make sure the combined loads do not exceed gen-

erator capacity.

1.1.1.6 Switched GFCI Outlet

This outlet is powered by the utility and by the gen-

erator. When utility power is present is acts as anoth-

er normal household outlet. When the generator is

supplying power this outlet is then being supplied

with power from the generator.

NOTE:

There will be a momentary “No Power” period

between the time of utility failure and the genera-

tor start up.

1.1.1.7 Standby GFCI Outlet

This outlet is ONLY powered by the generator. Use it

for additional items during a utility power outage

when the generator is providing backup electricity for

the home.

1.1.1.8 Utility Sensing Cord

Section 1 – General Information

CENTURION 3500 Home Standby Generator

Do not overload the generator. Some installa-

tions may require that electrical loads be alter-

nated to avoid overloading. Applying exces-

sively high electrical loads may damage the

generator and may shorten its life. Add up the

rated watts of all electrical lighting, appliance,

tool and motor loads the generator will power

at one time. This total should not be greater

than the wattage capacity of the generator. If

an electrical device nameplate gives only volts

and amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain

watts (volts x amps = watts). Some electric

motors require more watts of power (or amps

of current) for starting than for continuous

operation.

1.3 SAFETY

Before attempting to use the generator set, carefully

read the “Safety Rules” section of this manual.

Comply strictly with these rules to prevent accidents

and damage to equipment and/or property. We sug-

gest copying and posting the “Safety Rules” in poten-

tial hazard near the generator. Stress safety to all

operators and potential operators of this equipment.

1.4 PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Unlike an automobile engine, the generator may have

to run for long periods of time with no operator pre-

sent to monitor engine conditions. For that reason,

the engine is equipped with the following systems

that protect it against potentially damaging condi-

tions:

1. Overcrank

2. Overspeed

3. Low Oil Pressure Sensor

4. High Temperature Sensor

5. Underspeed

There is an LED readout on the control panel to noti-

fy personnel that one of these faults has occurred.

Detail of of the protection systems can be found in

Section 2.9.

1.5 LOCATION

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure,

outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air

is always available. Consider these factors:

• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings

will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow,

etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drift-

ing, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.

• Install the generator on high ground where water

levels will not rise and endanger it.

• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator

for maintenance and servicing. A good rule is to

allow three feet of space on all sides.

• Where strong prevailing winds blow from one

direction, face the generator air inlet openings to

the prevailing winds.

1.6 SPECIFICATIONS

1.6.1 FUEL REQUIREMENTS AND RECOM-

MENDATIONS

With LP gas, use only the LP vapor withdrawal sys-

tem. This type of system uses the vapors formed

above the liquid fuel in the storage tank.

Recommended fuel should have a BTU content of at

least 2,520 BTU's per cubic foot. Ask the LP fuel sup-

plier for the BTU content of the fuel.

This generator has been designed for a specific type

of tank. Acceptable tank types are DOT-4BA240 and

DOT-4BW240. Any deviation in tank type may not

allow the tank to fit in the LP enclosure.

Gaseous fuels such as liquid propane (LP) gas

are highly explosive. Even the slightest spark

can ignite such fuels and cause an explosion.

No leakage of fuel is permitted. LP gas, which

is heavier than air tends to settle in low areas.

1.6.2 FUEL CONSUMPTION

Fuel consumption is in gal/hr.

1.6.3 ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with

American Petroleum Institute (API) Service

Classification SF, SG or SH. The recommended oil

weights include the following:

• During summer months: SAE 30. An acceptable

substitute is SAE 10W-30.

• During winter months: SAE 5W-30. DO NOT USE

SAE 10-W40.

Crankcase and oil filter capacity is approximately

800 mL or .84 U.S. quarts. Do NOT use special addi-

tives. See Sections 3.1 and 3.2 for oil level check and

fill procedures.

2.1 GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The following features are mounted on the generator

control panel (Figure 2.1):

Figure 2.1 — Generator Control Panel

2.1.1 SHUT DOWN INDICATOR

This LED will flash a specific number of times to indi-

cate a specific failure. Shutdowns and their failure

codes follow in Section 2.9, Protection Systems. These

codes can also be referenced on the decal located on

the air filter cover, located below the control panel.

2.1.2 AUTO/OFF/MANUAL SWITCH

2.1.2.1 Auto Position

Selecting this switch position activates fully automat-

ic system operation. It also allows the user the abili-

ty to start and exercise the generator from the remote

Power Transfer Monitor.

2.1.2.2 Off Position

This switch position shuts down the engine. This

position also prevents the engine from starting.

2.1.2.3 Manual Position

Selecting this switch position will crank and start the

engine. Transfer to standby power will not occur

unless there is a utility failure.

With the switch set to AUTO, the engine may

crank and start at any time without warning.

Such automatic starting normally occurs when

utility power source voltage drops below a pre-

set level or during the normal exercise cycle. To

prevent possible injury that might be caused by

such sudden starts, always set the switch to

OFF and remove the fuse before working on or

around the generator or transfer switch. Then,

place a “Do Not Operate” tag on the generator

panel and on the transfer switch.

2.1.3 FUSE

The generator panel's 7.5 amp fuse protects the DC

control circuit against overload. The fuse is wired in

series with the battery output lead to the panel. If the

fuse element has melted open, the engine cannot

crank or start. The same fuse also protects the bat-

tery charge circuit against overload. If the fuse ele-

ment has melted open, battery charging will not be

possible. Replace the fuse using only an identical 7.5

amp fuse.

2.1.4 MAIN BREAKERS

The main breakers protect the generator’s AC output

circuit against overload and provide a method of

turning OFF the generator’s 120-volt AC output to the

Power Transfer Monitor’s outlets. The CENTURION

3500 has two (2) 15-amp breakers.

Section 2 – Operation

CENTURION 3500 Home Standby Generator

2.2 BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

NOTE:

Instructions and information in this manual

assume the generator has been properly installed

and connected.

2.2.1 ENGINE LUBRICATION

Have the engine crankcase properly serviced with the

recommended oil before starting. Refer to Section

1.6.2 and Sections 3.1 and 3.2, for oil servicing pro-

cedures and recommendations.

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before

it has been properly serviced with the recom-

mended oil may result in an engine failure.

2.2.2 FUEL SUPPLY

The engine must have an adequate supply of proper

fuel to operate. Before starting it, check that sufficient

fuel is available.

2.2.3 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR

Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator com-

partment must be open and unobstructed for contin-

ued proper operation. Without sufficient cooling and

ventilating airflow, the engine/generator overheats,

which causes it to shut down and may damage the

generator.

2.2.4 ENGINE EXHAUST GAS

Before starting the generator engine, be sure there is

no way for exhaust gases to endanger people or ani-

mals. Close windows, doors near the generator that,

if open, might permit exhaust gases to do so.

The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon

monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This

dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concen-

trations, can cause unconsciousness or even

death. Never operate the generator set inside

any enclosed area. make sure THE EXHAUST

SYSTEM IS not LEAKING AND HAS NOT BEEN

DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOX-

IDE POISONING ARE (a) inability to think coher-

ently, (b) nausea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching

muscles, (e) throbbing temples, (f) dizziness, (g)

headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF

EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS,

MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMP-

TOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down

the generator and do not operate it until it has

been inspected and repaired.

2.3 BATTERY CONNECTION

Before connecting the battery, complete the following

steps:

1. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to

OFF.

2. Make sure the Power Transfer Monitor’s sensing

cord (6 foot) is not plugged into an electrical out-

let.

If the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is not set to

its OFF position, the generator can crank and

start as soon as the battery cables are connect-

ed. If the utility power supply is not disabled

by unplugging the 6 foot sensing cord from

electrical outlet, sparking can occur at the bat-

tery posts and cause an explosion.

Battery cables were factory connected at the genera-

tor (Figure 2.2). Connect the cables to the battery

posts using the hardware supplied in the manual bag

as follows:

3. Slide the red battery terminal boot over the bat-

tery cable, then connect the cable (from the

starter contactor) to the battery post indicated by

a positive, POS or (+).

4. Connect the black battery cable (from frame

ground) and the two green grounding wires (from

the control panel) to the battery post indicated by

a negative, NEG or (-).

NOTE:

Damage will result if battery connections are made

in reverse.
