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 7,200 watts (7.2 kW) of power that pull up

to 60.0 Amps at 120 Volts or 30.0 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 7,200 watts. See

“Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 11.

The generator’s revolving field is driven at about 3,600 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.

The Emission Control System for this generator is

warranted for standards set by the Environmental

Protection Agency. For warranty information refer to the

engine owner’s manual.

SAFETY RULES

This generator set was designed and manufactured for

specific applications. Do Not attempt to modify the unit or

use it for any application it was not designed for. If you have

any questions about your generator’s application, ask your

dealer or consult the factory.

The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every

circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that reason

warnings in the manual and warnings on tags or decals

affixed to the unit are not all–inclusive. If you intend to

handle, operate or service the unit by a procedure or

method not specifically recommended by the manufacturer,

first make sure that such a procedure or method will not

render this equipment unsafe or pose a threat to you and

others.

Read this manual carefully and become familiar

with your generator set. Know its applications, its

limitations and any hazards involved.

DANGER! You must isolate the generator from

the electric utility using approved transfer

equipment if this unit is used for backup power.

Failure to isolate the generator from the

power utility may result in injury or death to

electric utility workers and damage to the

generator due to a backfeed of electrical energy.

Whenever unit is providing backup power, the

electric utility must be notified.

DANGER! Generator exhaust gases contain

DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. If breathed in

sufficient concentrations, carbon monoxide

can cause unconsciousness or death. Operate

this equipment outdoors where adequate ventilation

is available.

The engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer, birth defects,

or other reproductive harm.

WARNING:

Generac Portable Products 7200 Watt Mobile Backup Power System

• The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can

cause serious injury or death by electrocution. Never

touch bare wires or receptacles. Never permit a child or

any unqualified person to operate the generator.

•Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while

standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet

are wet. Death or serious injury from electrocution may

result.

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp

or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or steel

work).

•Never use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged

electrical cords with the generator. Death, serious injury

and property damage from electrical shock may result.

•Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are

EXPLOSIVE. Never allow smoking, open flames,

sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling

gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Comply

with all laws regulating storage and handling of gasoline.

•Do Not overfill the fuel tank.Always allow room for fuel

expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can overflow

onto a hot engine and cause a FIRE or an

EXPLOSION.

•Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where

gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark or pilot

light (as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer). FIRE

or an EXPLOSION may result.

• The unit requires an adequate flow of cooling air for its

continued proper operation. Never operate the unit

inside any room or enclosure where the free flow of

cooling air into and out of the unit might be obstructed.

Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator,

even while operating unit outdoors, or you could damage

the unit.

•Never start, or stop the unit with electrical loads

connected to receptacles with the connected devices

turned ON. Start the engine and let it stabilize before

connecting any electrical loads. Disconnect all electrical

loads before shutting down the generator.

•Do Not insert any object through cooling slots of the

engine.You could damage the unit or injure yourself.

•Never operate the generator:

in rain; in any enclosed compartment; when connected

electrical devices overheat; if electrical output is lost; if

engine or generator sparks; if flame or smoke is observed

while unit is running; if unit vibrates excessively.

GROUNDING THE

GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and

external electrically conductive parts of this generator be

properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local

electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the

unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT is

provided on the generator end (Figure 1).

Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire

Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut

and to an earth–driven copper or brass grounding rod

(electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical

shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire attached after

connecting the stranded copper wire. However, local codes

may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for

grounding requirements in your area.

Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical

shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or

in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps

dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in

ungrounded devices.

BEFORE STARTING THE

ENGINE

Add Oil

CAUTION! Any attempt to crank or start the engine

before it has been properly filled with the recommended

oil may result in an engine failure.

To fill your engine with oil:

• Place generator on a level surface.

• Follow the oil grade recommendations and oil fill

instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a

prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no

additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

Add Gasoline

WARNING! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do Not

light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.

WARNING! Do Not overfill the fuel tank.

Always allow room for fuel expansion.

• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator

engine. Do Not use premium gasoline. Do Not mix oil

with gasoline.

• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank. Be

careful not to overfill.Allow about 1/2" of tank space for

fuel expansion (Figure 6).

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits

from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the

carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.Also,

experience indicates that alcohol–blended fuels (called

gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which

leads to separation and formation of acids during storage.

Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in

storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See “Storage”

on page 12. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
