Utiliser un générateur à l'intérieur PEUT VOUS

TUER EN QUELQUES MINUTES.

Les gaz d'échappement du générateur contiennent du monoxyde

de carbone. C'est un gaz toxique invisible et inodore.

NE JAMAIS utiliser à l'intérieur

d'une maison ou d'un garage,

MÊME SI les portes et les

fenêtres sont ouvertes.

Utiliser UNIQUEMENT à

l'EXTÉRIEUR et loin des

fenêtres, portes et

ventilations.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, 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 ventilating air

is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the

installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation

provisions, as this can seriously 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.

• The manufacturer recommends installing a battery operated

carbon monoxide alarm indoors, according to the manufacturers

instructions.

• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has

been running, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as

you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• The generator produces dangerously high voltage when in

operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections,

etc., while the unit is running, even on equipment connected

to the generator. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and

barriers are in place before operating the generator.

• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while

standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet.

DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL 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 damaged electrical

cord sets with the generator.

• 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 victim from the live conductor. AVOID

DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting

implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the

live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and

get immediate medical help.

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 gasoline.

• 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 overflow 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.

1. Make sure the generator in on a firm, level (not to exceed 15° in

any direction), non-combustible surface with at least five (5) feet of

clearance on all sides.



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

monoxide, 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

ventilating air is critical to correct generator

operation. Do not alter the installation or permit

even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,

as this can seriously affect safe operation of

the generator. The generator MUST be operated

outdoors.



NOTE:

When an electric motor is started, the "OVERLOAD" LED may

light up for up to five (5) seconds (this is normal). If it stays on,

a fault has occured. Remove all loads and shut down generator

to reset the alarm. Restart the generator. If the "OVERLOAD"

LED remains lit, contact a Generac Dealer for assistance.

2.4 USING THE FLEXPOWER™ SWITCH

When the accessories connected to the generator are going to

be used intermittently (such as a hand drill), the FlexPower™

switch can be pushed to the “ON” (I) position. This will lower the

generator engine speed when loads are not being applied, saving

fuel, reducing engine wear and extending runtime.

2.5 SHUTTING DOWN

Once the generator is no longer needed it can be shut down.

1. Switch off any accessories connected to the generator. Unplug

any cords to the 120 VAC duplex outlets.

2. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” (O) position (Figure 7). A

switch behind the fuel valve grounds the ignition system,

stopping the engine and the fuel supply is shut off.

3. Close the vent on the fuel cap.

4. Allow the generator to cool before moving or storing.



Always allow the generator to cool off before

storing. High temperatures will be present

at the rear of the unit for some time after

shutdown.

TURNING THE FUEL OFF

2.6 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN

This generator is equipped with a low oil level shut down. If the

oil level in the engine crankcase drops below a pre-determined

level, the engine will stop automatically and the “LOW OIL” LED

will light up.

Remove the Left Side Service Cover and check the oil level of the

engine. Add oil as necessary; refer to see the section “ADDING

ENGINE OIL”.

2.7 FUELING THE GENERATOR

Use care when fueling the generator. Only fill the fuel tank when

the generator is cool and use fresh unleaded gasoline with a

minimum Research Octane Number (RON) of 87.

NOTE:

Do not use any gasoline containing more than 10% Ethanol.

NEVER fill the fuel tank with E85 or a mixture of oil and gasoline

designated for two-cycle engines.



Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors

are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open

flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while

handling gasoline.



Never add fuel while unit is running or hot.

Allow unit to cool entirely before adding fuel.



Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow

room for fuel expansion. If tank is over-filled,

fuel can overflow onto a hot engine and cause

FIRE or an EXPLOSION. Wipe up fuel spills

immediately!

2. Add fuel slowly, stopping about 2 inches below the top of the

filler neck.

3. Replace the fuel tank cap. Make sure the valve on the fuel cap

is in the “OFF” position.

4. If the generator is going to be started, refer to the section

“STARTING THE GENERATOR” for additional directions on

priming the fuel system.

2.8 ADDING ENGINE OIL

All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API)

Service Class SJ, SL or better. Do not use any aftermarket

additives.

Select the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating

temperature.

• Above 40° F, use SAE 30

• Below 40° F to 10° F, use 10W-30

• Below 10° F, use synthetic 5W-30

2.8.1 TO ADD ENGINE OIL TO THE CRANKCASE

1. Place the unit on a firm, level surface (not to exceed 15° in any

direction).

2. Remove the Left Side Service Cover.

3. Remove the oil fill cap, located on the bottom of the engine

crankcase.

4. Add the recommended engine oil slowly, stopping frequently

to check the level. The full level is the base of the threads in

the filler neck.

5. Replace the oil fill cap and tighten.

6. Always check the oil level before starting the generator

engine.
