Safety Rules & General Information

Installation Guidelines for 60 Hz EcoGen™ Generator 1

Section 1: Safety Rules & General Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high-

performance, variable speed, air-cooled, engine-driven

stationary automatic standby generator set. Every effort

has been made to ensure that the information and

instructions in this manual are both accurate and

complete at the time of release. However, the

manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter, or

otherwise improve this product at any time without prior

notice.

In off–grid applications as a part of an alternative energy

system, the generator starts when the inverter/battery

charger detects the normal power source voltage has

dropped below a preset level. The generator powers the

inverter and, once the voltage level of the battery rises to

an acceptable level, the generator is shut down. Another

off–grid application would be for use in remote locations

such as for pumping water for a village or campground,

or for livestock.

The unit is factory installed in an all–weather metal

enclosure and is intended for outdoor installation

only. The generator can be operated using either natural

gas (NG) or vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP).

NOTE: When properly sized, this generator is suitable

for supplying typical residential loads such as induction

motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners,

furnaces, etc.), electronic components (computer,

monitor, TV, etc.), lighting loads and microwaves, or

loads less than 10 kW or 2 hp.

Read This Manual Thoroughly

If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact

the nearest Independent Authorized Service Dealer for

starting, operating and servicing procedures.

This manual must be used in conjunction with the

appropriate Owner’s Manual.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: The manufacturer

suggests that this manual and the rules for safe operation

be copied and posted near the unit installation site.

Safety should be stressed to all operators and potential

operators of this equipment.

Throughout this publication and on tags and decals

affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, and

CAUTION blocks are used to alert personnel to special

instructions about a particular operation that may be

hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe

them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:

NOTE: Notes provide additional information important to

a procedure or component.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards they

indicate. Observing safety precautions and strict

compliance with the special instructions while performing

the action or service are essential to preventing accidents.

The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of

the equipment. The manufacturer strongly recommends

that if the operator is also the owner, to read the Owner’s

Manual and thoroughly understand all instructions before

using this equipment. The manufacturer also strongly

recommends instructing other users to properly start and

operate the unit. This prepares them if they need to

operate the equipment in an emergency.

How to Obtain Service

When the generator requires servicing or repairs, contact

an Independent Authorized Service Dealer for

assistance. Service technicians are factory-trained and

are capable of handling all service needs. For assistance

locating a dealer, go to www.generac.com/Service/

DealerLocator/.

When contacting an Independent Authorized Service

Dealer about parts and service, always supply the

complete model number and serial number of the unit as

given on its data decal, which is located on the generator.

Refer to Owner’s Manual for decal location. Record the

model number and serial numbers in the spaces

provided on the inside front cover of this manual.

Safety Rules & General Information

2Installation Guidelines for 60 Hz EcoGen™ Generator

Safety Rules

Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing,

operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar

with this Installation Manual, the Owner’s Manual, and

with the unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently

and reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and

maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to

follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible

circumstance 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 the manufacturer

does not specifically recommend, verify that it is safe for

others. Also, make sure the procedure, work method or

operating technique utilized does not render the

generator unsafe.

Safety Rules & General Information

Installation Guidelines for 60 Hz EcoGen™ Generator 5

Before You Begin

•Contact the local inspector or City Hall to be aware of

all federal, state and local codes that could impact

the installation. Secure all required permits before

starting the job.

•Carefully read and follow all of the procedures and

safety precautions detailed in the installation guide. If

any portion of the installation manual, technical

manual or other factory–supplied documents is not

completely understood, contact an Independent

Authorized Service Dealer for assistance.

•Fully comply with all relevant NEC, NFPA and OSHA

standards as well as all federal, state and local

building and electric codes. As with any generator,

this unit must be installed in accordance with current

NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards as well as any

other federal, state, and local codes for minimum

distances from other structures.

•Verify the capacity of the natural gas meter or the LP

tank in regards to providing sufficient fuel for both the

generator and other household and operating

appliances.

NEC Requirements

Local code enforcement may require that Arc Fault

Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) be incorporated into the

transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch

provided with this generator has a distribution panel that

will accept AFCIs (pre–wired transfer switches only).

Siemens Part No. Q115AF – 15A or Q120AF – 20A can

be obtained from a local electrical wholesaler and will

simply replace any of the single pole circuit breakers

supplied in the pre–wired transfer switch distribution

panel.
