The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of

the equipment. We strongly recommend that the operator

read this manual and thoroughly understand all instruc-

tions before using the equipment. We also strongly rec-

ommend instructing other users to properly start and

operate the unit. This prepares them if they need to oper-

ate the equipment in an emergency.

The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably

only if it is properly located, operated and maintained.

Before operating or servicing the generator:

•Become familiar with and strictly adhere to all local,

state and national codes and regulations.

•Study all safety warnings in this manual and on the

product carefully.

•Become familiar with this manual and the unit

before use.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible cir-

cumstance 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

that the manufacturer does not specifically recommend,

ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the pro-

cedure, work method or operating technique utilized does

not render the generator unsafe.

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN WAS

BASED ON UNITS IN PRODUCTION AT THE TIME OF

PUBLICATION. GENERAC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO

MODIFY THIS MANUAL AT ANY TIME.

1.3 — Safety Rules

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals

affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION

and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to special

instructions about a particular operation that may be haz-

ardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe

them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:

INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR

ACTION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL

RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Indicates a hazardous situation or action

which, if not avoided, could result in death

or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation or action

which, if not avoided, could result in minor

or moderate injury.

NOTE:

Notes contain additional information important to a

procedure and will be found within the regular text

body of this manual.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that

they indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with

the special instructions while performing the action or

service are essential to preventing accidents.

Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the

DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of

information each indicates is as follows:

This symbol points out important safety

information that, if not followed, could

endanger personal safety and/or property.

This symbol points out potential explosion

hazard.

This symbol points out potential fire hazard.

This symbol points out potential electrical

shock hazard.

Safety

2Owner’s Manual for Portable Generator

Figure 1-1. Exhaust Hazard

1.4 — General Hazards

•NEVER operate in an enclosed area, in a vehicle,

or indoors EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

See Figure 1-1.

•Always wear approved hearing protection where

necessary. See Figure 1-2.

•For safety reasons, it is recommended that the

maintenance of this equipment be performed by an

Authorized Dealer. Inspect the generator regularly,

and contact the nearest Authorized Dealer for parts

needing repair or replacement.

•Operate generator only on level surfaces and

where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture,

dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.

•Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive

belts, fans, and other moving parts. Never remove

any fan guard or shield while the unit is operating.

•Certain parts of the generator get extremely hot

during operation. Keep clear of the generator until

it has cooled to avoid severe burns.

•Do NOT operate generator in the rain.

•Do not alter the construction of the generator or

change controls which might create an unsafe

operating condition.

•Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads

connected to receptacles AND with connected

devices turned ON. Start the engine and let it stabi-

lize before connecting electrical loads. Disconnect

all electrical loads before shutting down the gener-

ator.

•Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.

•When working on this equipment, remain alert at all

times.

•Never work on the equipment when physically or

mentally fatigued.

•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.

1.5 — Exhaust and Location Hazards

•Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly

enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors

and windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and far

from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area

that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.

•The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox-

ide, which you cannot see or smell. This poisonous

gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can

cause unconsciousness or even death.

•Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-

lating air is critical to correct generator operation.

Do not alter the installation or permit even partial

blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seri-

ously affect safe operation of the generator. The

generator MUST be operated outdoors.

•This exhaust system must be properly maintained.

Do nothing that might render the exhaust system

unsafe or in noncompliance with any local codes

and/or standards.

•Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide

alarm indoors, installed according to the manufac-

turers instructions.

•If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the gen-

erator has been running, move to fresh air IMME-

DIATELY. See a doctor, as you could have carbon

monoxide poisoning.

Owner’s Manual for Portable Generator 3

1.6 — Electrical Hazards

•The generator produces dangerously high voltage

when in operation. Avoid contact with bare wires,

terminals, connections, etc., while the unit is run-

ning, even on equipment connected to the genera-

tor. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and

barriers are in place before operating the genera-

tor.

•Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device

while standing in water, while barefoot or while

hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRI-

CAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

•The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the

frame and external electrically conductive parts of

the generator be properly connected to an

approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may

also require proper grounding of the generator.

Consult with a local electrician for grounding

requirements in the area.

•Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp

or highly conductive area (such as metal decking

or steel work).

•Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise dam-

aged electrical cord sets with the generator.

•Before performing any maintenance on the genera-

tor, disconnect the engine starting battery (if

equipped) to prevent accidental start up. Discon-

nect the cable from the battery post indicated by a

NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable

last.

•In case of accident caused by electric shock,

immediately shut down the source of electrical

power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the vic-

tim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CON-

TACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting

implement, such as a 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.

1.7 — Fire Hazards

•Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are

EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open flames,

sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling gaso-

line.

•Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow

engine to cool completely before adding fuel.

•Never fill fuel tank indoors. 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 over-filled, fuel can over-

flow onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or an

EXPLOSION. Never store generator with fuel in

tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open

flame, spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water

heater or clothes dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may

result. Allow unit to cool entirely before storage.

•Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure

that no combustible materials are left on or near

the generator. Keep the area surrounding the gen-

erator clean and free from debris and keep a clear-

ance of five (5) feet on all sides to allow for proper

ventilation of the generator.

•Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.

•Do not operate the generator if connected electri-

cal devices overheat, if electrical output is lost, if

engine or generator sparks or if flames or smoke

are observed while unit is running.

•Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all

times.
