THE

MANUFACTURER

SUGGESTS

THAT

THESE

“RULES”

FOR

SAFE

OPERATION

BE

COPIED

AND

POSTED

IN

POTENTIAL

HAZARD

AREAS

OF

THE

RECREATIONAL

VEHICLE.

SAFETY

SHOULD

BE

STRESSED

TO

ALL

OPERATORS

AND

POTENTIAL

OPERATORS

OF

THIS

EQUIPMENT.

Study

these

SAFETY

RULES

carefully

before

operating

or

ser¬

vicing

applicable

equipment.

Become

familiar

with

this

Owner's

Manual

and

with

your

generator.

Safe,

efficient

and

reliable

operation

can

only

be

achieved

if

generator

is

properly

installed,

operated

and

maintained.

Many

accidents

are

caused

by

fail¬

ing

to

follow

simple

and

fundamental

rules

or

precautions.

The

manufacturer

suggests

that

these

GENERAL

SAFETY

RULES

be

copied

and

posted

in

potential

hazard

areas

of

the

recreational

vehicle.

Safety

should

be

stressed

to

all

operators

and

poten¬

tial

operators

of

equipment.

The

manufacturer

cannot

possibly

anticipate

every

circum¬

stance

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

you

use

a

procedure,

work

method

or

operating

technique

Generac

does

not

specifically

recommend,

you

must

satisfy

yourself

that

it

is

safe

for

you

and

others.

You

must

also

make

sure

the

procedure,

work

method

or

operating

technique

that

you

chose

does

not

render

the

generator

to

be

unsafe.

□

WARNING:

0

The

engine

exhaust

from

this

product

contains

chemicals

known

to

the

State

of

California

must

always

remain

in

com¬

pliance

with

applicable

codes

and

standards.

In

addition,

the

generator

must

be

installed

in

conformance

to

the

manufacturer's

detailed

installation

instructions.

Following

installation,

nothing

must

be

done

that

might

render

the

generator

in

noncompliance

with

such

codes,

standards

and

instructions.

•

The

RV

generator

produces

extremely

high

and

dangerous

elec¬

trical

voltages

and

can

cause

dangerous,

and

possibly

fatal,

electrical

shock.

Avoid

contact

with

bare

wires,

terminals,

etc.

while

the

unit

is

running.

If

you

must

work

around

an

operating

stand

on

an

insulated,

dry

surface

to

reduce

shock

hazard.

•

Never

work

on

this

equipment

or

handle

any

electrical

device

while

standing

in

water,

while

barefoot,

or

compartment.

Do

not

alter

the

installa¬

tion

of

this

equipment

in

any

manner

that

might

obstruct

air

and

ventilation

openings.

Such

openings

must

be

kept

clear

and

unob¬

structed.

This

generator

uses

LP

gas

(propane)

as

a

fuel.

Liquid

Propane

gas

gas

is

heavier

than

air

and

tends

to

settle

in

low

areas

where

even

the

slightest

spark

can

ignite

the

gas

and

cause

an

explosion.

APPLYING

LOADS

TO

GENERATOR

When

applying

electrical

loads

to

the

generator,

observe

these

guidelines:

•

Before

applying

electrical

loads,

let

the

generator

stabilize

and

warm

up

for

a

minute

or

two.

•

DO

NOT

overload

the

generator.

■

LETTING

THE

ENGINE

STABILIZE

The

generator

supplies

correct

rated

frequency

and

voltage

only

at

the

proper

governed

speed.

Some

electrical

appli¬

ances

may

be

extremely

sensitive

to

voltage

and

frequency.

Incorrect

frequencies

and/or

voltages

can

damage

those

appli¬

ances.

If

electrical

loads

are

applied

at

reduced

operating

speeds,

such

loads

imposed

on

the

engine

when

sufficient

power

is

not

avail¬

able

may

shorten

engine

life.

Never

turn

ON

electrical

loads

until

after

the

generator

engine

has

started

and

stabilized

ON-speed.

■

DO

NOT

OVERLOAD

THE

GENERATOR

You

can

read

the

rated

wattage/amperage

capacity

of

your

generator

on

the

generator

data

plate

(see

“Identification

Record”

on

Page

1).

Applying

electrical

loads

in

excess

of

the

unit’s

rated

capac¬

ity

will

cause

the

engine-generator

to

automatically

shutdown.

To

avoid

overloading,

add

up

the

wattage

of

all

connected

elec¬

trical

lighting,

appliance,

tool

and

motor

loads.

This

total

should

not

be

greater

than

the

generator’s

rated

wattage

capacity.

•

Most

lighting,

appliance,

tool

and

motor

loads

indicate

their

required

watts

on

their

nameplate

or

data

plate.

For

light

bulbs,

simply

note

the

wattage

rating

of

the

bulb.

•

If

a

load

does

not

show

its

rated

wattage,

multiply

that

load’s

rated

VOLTS

times

AMPS

to

obtain

WATTS.

•

Induction

type

motors

(such

as

those

that

run

the

vehicle’s

furnace

fan,

refrigerator,

air

conditioner,

etc.)

need

about

2-

1/2

times

more

watts

of

power

for

starting

than

for

running

(for

a

few

seconds

during

motor

starting).

Be

sure

to

allow

for

this

when

connecting

electrical

loads

to

the

generator.

First,

figure

the

watts

needed

to

start

electric

motors

in

the

system.

To

that

figure,

add

the

running

wattages

of

other

items

that

will

be

operated

by

the

generator.

•

Do

not

apply

heavy

electrical

loads

for

the

first

two

or

three

hours

of

operation.

discusses

some

of

the

protective

devices,

overload

protection

and

breaking

in

a

generator.

■

AUTOMATIC

LOW

OIL

PRESSURE

SHUTDOWN

_

The

engine

is

equipped

with

a

normally-open

(N.O.)

oil

pressure

switch

(Figure

4).

Engine

oil

pressure

holds

the

switch

open

during

cranking

and

operation.

Should

oil

pres¬

sure

drop

below

about

8-10

PSI,

the

switch

contacts

close

and

the

engine

automatically

shuts

down.

■

HIGH

TEMPERATURE

SHUTDOWN

An

oil

temperature

switch

(Figure

4)

with

normally-open

(N.O.)

contacts

is

mounted

near

the

oil

filter.

If

oil

temperature

were

to

exceed

about

284°F

(140°C),

the

switch

contacts

close

and

the

engine

shuts

down.

■

FIELD

BOOST

_

The

Controller

Circuit

Board

houses

a

field

boost

diode

and

resistor

which

are

not

part

of

the

automatic

choke

circuit.

These

two

components

are

part

of

a

“field

boost"

circuit

(Figure

5).

During

engine

cranking

only,

a

positive

DC

(battery)

volt¬

age

is

delivered

through

the

diode,

resistor,

brushes

and

slip

rings,

and

the

generator

rotor.

Application

of

this

voltage

to

the

rotor

Hashes

the

field"

whenever

it

is

started.

Hashing

of

the

field

each

time

the

generator

starts

makes

sure

that

a

suf¬

ficiently

strong

magnetic

field

is

available

to

produce

“pick

up"

voltage

in

the

stator

windings.

■

OVERVOLTAGE

PROTECTION

A

solid

state

voltage

regulator

(Figure

6)

controls

the

gener¬

ator’s

AC

output

voltage.

This

regulator

supplies

an

excitation

current

to

the

rotor.

By

regulating

the

rotor’s

excitation

current,

the

strength

of

its

magnetic

field

is

regulated

and,

in

turn,

the

voltage

delivered

to

connected

electrical

loads

is

controlled.

When

the

AC

frequency

is

50

Hz,

voltage

is

regulated

at

120

volts

(voltage-to-f

requency

ratio

is

2-to-1).

Figure

6

—

Solid

State

Voltage

Regulator

The

voltage

regulator

also

incorporates

a

“voltage

surge

pro¬

tection

circuit.”

This

circuit

prevents

troublesome

surges

in

the

generator

AC

output

voltage.

Voltage

surge

is

a

common

cause

of

damage

to

electronic

equipment.
