Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this 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.
Generac cannot possibly 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 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 also must make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique that you choose does not render the generator unsafe.
Despite the safe design of this generator, operating this equipment imprudently, neglect­ing its maintenance or being careless can cause possible injury or death. Permit only responsi­ble and capable persons to operate or maintain this equipment.
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the machine safe before attempting to work on the generator.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during operation. Exercise care near running generators.
GENERAL HAZAR
DS
• For safety reasons, Generac recommends
that the installation, initial start-up and mainte­nance of this equipment is carried out by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
• The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentra­tions, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISON­ING ARE (a) inability to think coherently, (b) nau­sea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throb­bing temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF YOU EXPERI­ENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PER­SIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the gener­ator and do not operate it until it has been inspect­ed and repaired.
• Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is run-
ning unless the vehicle has a working carbon monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be installed in accordance with the genset installation manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when operating the genset in a confined area.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive
belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-
lating air is critical to correct generator operation and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel vapors from the generator compartment. Without sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes serious damage to the generator. Do not alter the installation or per­mit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at
all times. Never work on the equipment when you are physically or mentally fatigued.
• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact your
nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer imme­diately for parts needing repair or replacement.

• Before performing any maintenance on the genera­tor, disconnect its battery cables to prevent acci­dental start up. Disconnect the cable from the bat­tery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.
• 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 con­ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• The generator covered by this manual produces dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter­minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in place before operating the generator. If you must work around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
• During installation onto the vehicle, have the gen­erator properly grounded (bonded) either by solid mounting to the vehicle frame or chassis, or by means of an approved bonding conductor. DO NOT disconnect the bonding conductor, if so equipped. DO NOT reconnect the bonding conduc­tor to any generator part that might be removed or disassembled during routine maintenance. If the grounding conductor must be replaced, use only a flexible conductor that is of No. 8 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper wire minimum.
• 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 nonconducting 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.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip­ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving com­ponents causing injury.
FIRE HAZARDS
• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained properly. Installation always must comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and national electrical and building codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Following proper installa­tion, do nothing that might alter a safe installation and render the unit in noncompliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regu­lations.
• Keep a fire extinguisher in the vehicle at all times. Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National Fire Protection Association are appropriate for use on the recreational vehicle generator electrical sys­tem. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. If you have any question pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult your local fire department.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS
• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com­bustible materials are left in the generator com­partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surround­ing the generator clean and free from debris.
• Gasoline is extremely FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks or any source of heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline. Comply with all laws gov­erning the storage and handling of gasoline.
• This generator may use liquid propane (LP) gas as a fuel. LP gas is highly EXPLOSIVE. The 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.

1.2 GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac­tured for supplying electrical power for recreational vehicles. You should not modify the generator or use it for any application other than for what it was designed. If there are any questions pertaining to its application, write or call the factory. Do not use the unit until you have been advised by competent authority.
For fire safety, the generator must have been properly installed in compliance with ANSI
119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974, “Standard for Recreational Vehicles, Part III – Installation of Electrical Systems.” The generator also must have been installed in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s detailed installation instruc­tions. After installation, do nothing that might render the unit in noncompliance with such codes, standards and instructions.
You can use your generator set to supply electrical power for operating one of the following electrical loads:
• QUIETPACT 55G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin­gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can require up to 5500 watts (5.5 kW) of total power, but cannot exceed 45.8 AC amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 22.9 AC amperes at 240 volts.
• QUIETPACT 65G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin­gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can require up to 6500 watts (6.5 kW) of total power, but cannot exceed 54.1 AC amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 27 AC amperes at 240 volts.
• QUIETPACT 75G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin­gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can require up to 7500 watts (7.5 kW) of total power, but cannot exceed 62.5 AC amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 31.2 AC amperes at 240 volts.
Do not overload the generator. Some installa­tions may require that electrical loads be alter­nated to avoid overloading. Applying excessive­ly high electrical loads may damage the genera­tor and may shorten its life. Add up the rated watts of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads the generator will power at one time. This total should not be greater than the wattage capacity of the generator. If an electrical device nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain watts (volts x amps = watts). Some electric motors require more watts of power (or amps of cur­rent) for starting than for continuous operation.
1.3 INSTALLATION
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared under the assumption that a competent, qualified technician installed the generator into a recreational vehicle. We also assume the installer complied with all applicable codes, standards and regulations pertaining to instal­lation.
An INSTALLATION MANUAL was shipped with the generator. That Manual contains manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations for installing the unit into an industrial vehicle. After installation, installers should forward the Installation Manual to Owners/Operators for their information.
Owners/Operators have the responsibility to make sure that nothing is done that might render the instal­lation unsafe or in non-compliance with applicable codes, standards and instructions.
1.4 SAFETY
Before using the generator set, carefully read GEN­ERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply with these RULES to prevent accidents and damage to equipment and/or property. Generac suggests copy­ing and posting the GENERAL SAFETY RULES to potential operators of this equipment.
1.5 GENERATOR AC CONNECTION SYSTEM
These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with dual stator AC power windings. These two stator windings supply electrical power to customer electri­cal loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection sys­tem.
Generators may be installed to provide the following outputs:
1. 120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the generator output terminals. Figure 1.1, page 6, shows the generator lead wire connections for 120VAC ONLY.
2. 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output, and 240V across the genera­tor output terminals; or two seperate loads, each with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to half of the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the generator output ter­minals. Figure 1.2, page 6, shows the generator lead wire connections for 120/240 VAC loads. Also refer to section 2.1.4 Line Breakers for cir­cuit breaker ratings.
This procedure should be done by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer or other qualified installer.

1.6 SPECIFICATIONS
1.6.1 FUEL REQUIREMENTS (GASOLINE)
This generator is equipped with a gasoline fuel system as standard equipment. Specific installations may pro­vide either a separate fuel tank for the generator, or the generator may “share” the vehicle engine’s fuel tank.
1.6.1.1 Fuel Consumption (gph/lbs.ph)
NOTE
Some installations using a “shared” fuel tank may have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter than the vehicle engine’s pickup tube. Such an arrangement causes the generator engine to “run out of gas” while adequate fuel for the vehicle remains in the tank.
To reduce lead and carbon deposits use high quality UNLEADED gasoline with the generator. Leaded REGULAR grade gasoline is an acceptable substitute.
NOTE:
Using unleaded gasoline contributes to longer engine valve life by reducing lead and carbon deposits.
Generac does not recommend using any gasoline containing alcohol (such as “gasohol”). If you use any gasoline containing alcohol, it must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol, and it must be removed from the generator during storage. Do NOT use any gasoline containing methanol. If you use gasoline with alcohol, inspect more frequently for fuel leaks and other abnormalities.
1.6.2 ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use only high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF” and with an oil viscosity rating of SAE 10W-30 oil. Do not pour in any additives to the rec­ommended oil. Engine crankcase capacity is 1.8 liters or 1.9 quarts with oil filter change. See Section
3.2 on page 11 for oil level check and filing proce-
dures.

1.6.5 EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE PERIOD
For nonhandled engines the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emission requirements.
• For engines less than 225 cc displacement,
Category C=125 hours, B=250 hours, and A=500 hours.
• For engines of 225 cc or more, Category C=250
hours, B=500 hours, and A=1000 hours.
2.1 GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
The following features are mounted on the generator control panel (Figure 2.1):
2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER
Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start­ed in more than two weeks), you must press this switch for approximately ten seconds to bring fuel from the tank to the fuel pump. This rocker type switch springs back into its original position when you release it.
2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH
To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.
2.1.3 7.5 AMP FUSE
The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an identical 7.5 amp replacement fuse.
2.1.4 LINE BREAKERS
Protects generator’s AC output circiut against overload, i.e., prevents unit from exceeding wattage/amperage capacity. The circuit breaker rat­ings are as follows:
NOTE:
If this generator has been reconnected for dual voltage AC output (120/240 volts), you can install line breakers having an amperage rating that is different than that stated above. The replacement line breakers consist of two separate breakers with a connecting piece between the breaker handles (so that both breakers will operate at the same time). If the unit is reconnected for dual voltage, it is no longer RVIA or CSA listed.

2.2 OPTIONAL REMOTE
START/STOP PANEL
A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel (Figure 2.2) is available that allows you to start and stop the gener­ator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hourme­ter, generator run lamp and a wire harness.
Figure 2.2 — Optional Remote Panel
(Models 004057 and 004184)
2.3 AUTOMATIC CHOKE
This engine is equipped with an automatic choke that consists of two main components: a choke solenoid and prechoke.
2.3.1 CHOKE SOLENOID
During engine cranking (Start/Stop switch at START), a solid-state choke module signals the choke solenoid to activate and cycle (choke on/choke off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid thus opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only when the engine is cranking. When the engine starts, the choke stops cycling.
2.3.2 PRECHOKE
The choke system also has a temperature-sensitive metal strip that adjusts choke valve angle according to ambient temperatures (i.e., in cold ambient tem­peratures, choke valve closes more). Once the engine starts, an element heats the temperature-sensitive strip to a normal operating condition, opening the choke valve. This may take about three minutes in cooler weather.
2.4 BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE:
Instructions and information in this manual assume the generator has been properly installed, connected, serviced, tested and adjusted by a qualified installation technician or installation contractor.
2.4.1 INSTALLATION
Generator installation must have been properly com­pleted so it complies with all applicable codes, stan­dards and regulations and with the manufacturer's recommendations.
2.4.2 ENGINE LUBRICATION
Have the engine crankcase properly serviced with the recommended oil before starting. Refer to Section
1.6.3 (Page 6) and Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (Page 11) for oil servicing procedures and recommendations.
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before you have properly serviced it with the recom­mended oil may result in an engine failure.
2.4.3 FUEL SUPPLY
The engine must have an adequate supply of proper fuel to operate. Before starting it, check that sufficient fuel is available.
NOTE:
Depending on the installation, the generator may have either a separate fuel tank, or it may “share” the vehicle engine’s fuel tank.
2.4.4 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator com­partment must be open and unobstructed for contin­ued proper operation. Without sufficient cooling and ventilating airflow, the engine/generator quickly over­heats, which causes it to shut down and may damage the generator.
2.4.5 ENGINE EXHAUST GAS
Before starting the generator engine, you should be sure there is no way for exhaust gases to enter the vehicle interior and endanger people or animals. Close windows, doors and other openings in the vehi­cle that, if open, might permit exhaust gases to enter the vehicle.
!
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 9
Section 2 – Operation
QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators
The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concen­trations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOX­IDE POISONING ARE (a) inability to think coher­ently, (b) nausea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throbbing temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMP­TOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the generator and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired.
Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is running unless the vehicle has a working carbon monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be installed in accordance with the genset installa­tion manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when operating the genset in a confined area.
2.5 STARTING THE GENERATOR
NOTE:
Read the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. The owner/operator should become familiar with the vehicle in which this generator is installed. Differences exist between vehicles. For example, some vehicles may use a transfer switch to isolate dockside power from the generator, while other vehicles may use an isolating receptacle. Some vehicles may be equipped with a DC converter which allows the generator to power certain DC lighting and other DC loads.
To crank and start the generator engine, proceed as follows:
1. Turn OFF electrical loads using the means pro-
vided in your vehicle (such as a main line circuit breaker or transfer switch).
NOTE:
If starting from the generator control panel, turn OFF loads by setting the generator’s main circuit breaker to the OFF (or open) position. If starting from a remote panel, turn OFF loads using the means provided in the vehicle (such as a main cir­cuit breaker). Electrical load circuits will be turned ON after the generator has started, stabi­lized and warmed up.
2. If you have not started the engine in more than two weeks, press the Fuel Pump Primer switch and hold it for about 10 seconds. However, if the engine is warm, skip Step 2.
3. To crank and start the engine, hold the start/stop switch at START. Release the switch when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after it has been cranking for 15 seconds, release the Start/Stop switch and wait 1 minute before trying again. Holding the switch for longer than 15 seconds can damage the starter motor.
4. Let the engine run at no-load for a few minutes to stabilize and warm up.
5. Turn ON electrical loads using the means provided (such as a main circuit breaker or transfer switch).
2.6 STOPPING THE GENERATOR
1. Turn OFF all electrical loads using the means provided (such as a main circuit breaker or transfer switch).
2. Let generator run at no-load for a few minutes, to stabilize internal engine generator temperatures.
3. Place the Start/Stop switch in its STOP position. The engine will come to a complete stop.
2.7 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.
2.7.1 LETTING THE ENGINE STABILIZE
The generator supplies correct rated voltage only at the proper governed speed. Some electrical appli­ances may be extremely sensitive to voltage. Incorrect voltages can damage such appliances.
If electrical loads are applied at reduced operating speeds, such loads imposed on the engine when suf­ficient power is not available may shorten engine life. Never turn ON electrical loads until after the genera­tor engine has started and stabilized at no-load.

2.7.2 DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
You can read the rated wattage/amperage capacity of your generator on the generator data decal (see Section 1.1 on Page 4).
Applying electrical loads in excess of the unit’s rated capacity will cause the engine/generator to automati­cally shut down.
To avoid overloading, add up the wattage of all con­nected electrical 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.
2.8 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
2.8.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
This switch (Figure 2.3) has normally closed (N.C.) contacts that are held open by engine oil pressure during cranking and operating. Should oil pressure drop below a preset level, switch contacts close, and the engine automatically shuts down. The unit should not be restarted until oil is added.
2.8.2 HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH
This switch (Figure 2.3), which has normally open (N.O.) contacts, is mounted near the oil filter. The contacts close if the temperature should exceed approximately 270º F (132º C) for gasoline models, and 284° F (140° C) for LP models, initiating an engine shutdown.
Figure 2.3 – Low Oil Pressure and
High Temperature Switches
2.8.3 FIELD BOOST
The Controller Circuit Board houses a field boost diode and resistor that are not part of the automatic choke circuit. These two components are part of a “field boost” circuit (Figure 2.4). During engine cranking only, a positive DC (battery) voltage is deliv­ered through a diode, resistor, brushes, slip rings, and the generator rotor. Application of this voltage to the rotor “flashes the field” whenever it is started. Flashing of the field each time the generator starts makes sure that a sufficiently strong magnetic field is available to produce “pickup” voltage in the stator windings.
Figure 2.4 – Field Boost Circuit
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 11
Section 3 – Maintenance
QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators
2.8.4 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
A solid-state voltage regulator (Figure 2.5) controls the generator’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 60 Hertz, voltage is regulated at 115 volts.
Figure 2.5 – Solid State Voltage Regulator
The voltage regulator also incorporates a “voltage surge protection circuit.” This circuit prevents trou­blesome surges in the generator AC output voltage. Voltage surge is a common cause of damage to elec­tronic equipment.
2.8.5 25-HOUR BREAK-IN PERIOD
The first 25 hours of operation is the break-in period for the generator. Properly breaking in the generator is essential to minimize fuel consumption and pro­vide maximum engine performance. During this 25­hour break-in period, follow this procedure:
• Run the unit at varying electrical loads to help seat the engine piston rings properly.
• Check the engine oil level frequently. Add oil if needed. It is normal for the generator engine to consume more oil than is normal until the piston rings have properly seated.
• For the 75-hour operation following the break-in period, avoid light electrical loads. Load the generator at 50 percent (or more) of its rated wattage capacity. Repeated light loads during these 75 hours can cause improper seating of engine pis­ton rings, resulting in blowby and high oil con­sumption.
• After operating the unit for 25 hours, complete the tasks recommended under Section 2.8.6.
2.8.6 25-HOUR CHECK-UP
After the 25-hour break-in period, contact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer for the following mainte­nance. (The vehicle owner is responsible for any
charges relating to normal unit maintenance.)
• Change the engine crankcase oil and oil filter.
• Check all fluid levels.
• Inspect the cooling and ventilation openings.
• Check the engine ignition system.
• Inspect the entire electrical system.
• Inspect the engine exhaust system.
2.8.7 OPERATION IN HIGH GRASS OR BRUSH
Never operate the generator while the vehicle is parked over high grass, weeds, brush, leaves or any other combustible substance. Such materials can ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system. The generator exhaust system becomes extremely hot dur­ing operation and remains hot for a long time after it has shut down.
3.1 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
For oil capacities and requirements, see “Engine Oil Requirements,” Section 1.6.2 (Page 6). Check the engine crankcase oil level at least every eight hours of operation, or before you use it. To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.1):
1. Be sure the generator is as level as possible.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean,
lint-free cloth.
3. Install and tighten the dipstick cap; then, remove
it again. The oil level should be at the dipstick “Full” mark.
4. If necessary, remove the oil fill cap on the rocker
cover and slowly add oil until it reaches the dip­stick “Full” mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.
Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine.
5. Install and tighten the oil fill cap and the dipstick
before operating the engine.

QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators
3.2 CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND/OR OIL FILTER
• Change the engine oil after the first 25 hours of
operation (after the 25-hour break-in period, see Section 2.8.5, Page 10). Thereafter, change the oil every 100 operating hours. Change the oil more frequently if operating consistently under heavy load or at high ambient temperatures.
• Change the engine oil filter after the first 25 hours
of operation, and every 100 operating hours there­after.
To change the oil and/or oil filter, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine until it is thoroughly warmed up
(at least five minutes) then shut OFF the engine.
2. With the engine still warm from running, remove
the oil drain plug (Figure 3.1). Drain the oil into a suitable container.
Figure 3.1 — Oil Dipstick/Fill Tube and
Location of Oil Drain Plug
3. After the oil has drained, replace the oil drain
plug. (If only changing the oil, go to step 7.)
4. With the oil drained, remove the old oil filter by
turning it counterclockwise (Figure 3.2).
5. Apply a light coating of clean engine oil to the gas-
ket of the new filter.
6. Screw the new filter on by hand until its gasket
lightly contacts the oil filter adapter. Then, tight­en the filter an additional 3/4 to one turn.
7. Remove the dipstick and fill crankcase with the
proper type and amount of recommended oil (see Section 1.6.2, Page 6). The engine crankcase can hold about 1.8 liters or 1.9 quarts with oil filter change. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.
8. Install and tighten the dipstick before operating
the engine.
9. Start the engine and check for leaks.
Figure 3.2 — Engine Oil Filter
NOTE:
Check the oil level and fill to the “FULL” mark after checking for leaks. The filter will retain some oil.
3.3 MAINTAINING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER
3.3.1 CLEANING THE FOAM PRECLEANER
Clean and re-oil the foam precleaner every three months or every 25 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Service the foam precleaner more fre­quently if operating the generator in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. Use the following procedure (Figure 3.3):
1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Remove the cover, foam precleaner and paper fil-
ter.
3. Remove the foam precleaner from the cover.
4. Wash the foam precleaner in liquid detergent and
water.
5. Wrap the foam precleaner in a clean cloth and
gently squeeze it dry.
6. Saturate the foam precleaner in clean engine oil.
Gently squeeze it in a clean cloth to remove excess oil and to distribute oil (DO NOT TWIST).
7. Install the foam precleaner into the cover, fol-
lowed by the paper filter. Tabs at edges of paper filter must lock into slots on cover.
8. Install the cover, foam precleaner and paper filter.
9. Replace knob to retain the filter in place.

3.4 CHECKING THE ENGINE SPARK PLUG
Clean the spark plug and reset the spark plug gap every 100 hours of operation.
1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plug
to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean by scraping or washing using a wire brush and com­mercial solvent. Do not blast the spark plug to clean.
2. Remove the spark plug and check the condition.
Replace the spark plug if worn or if reuse is ques­tionable.
3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler
gauge. Adjust the gap to 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) by carefully bending the ground electrode (Figure 3.4).
Figure 3.4 – Setting the Spark Plug Gap
Sparking can occur if the wire terminal does not fit firmly on the spark plug terminal end. If necessary, re-form the wire terminal to obtain a tight fit.
3.5 FUEL FILTER (GASOLINE ONLY)
Remove and replace the fuel filter (Figure 3.5) once each year or every 400 hours of operation, whichever comes first.
Figure 3.5 – Fuel Filter
3.6 CLEAN SPARK ARRESTOR
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect and clean the screen every 50 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first.
NOTE:
If you use your generator on any forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered unimproved land, it must equipped with a spark arrestor. The spark arrestor must be maintained in good condition by the owner/operator.
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:
• Remove the screen retaining bracket by removing the screw.
• Slide the spark arrestor screen out from the tail pipe.
• Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise damaged. DO NOT USE a defective screen. If screen is not damaged, clean it with com­mercial solvent.
• Replace the screen and the retaining bracket.

3.7 CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Keep the generator set as clean and dry as possible. Protect the unit against excessive dust, dirt, corrosive vapors, road splash, etc. Permitting dirt and mois­ture to accumulate on generator windings will have an adverse effect on the insulation resistance of those windings.
When moisture is allowed to remain in contact with windings, some of the moisture will be retained in voids and cracks in the insulation. This causes a reduced insulation resistance and will eventually cause problems. Dirt will make the problem worse, since dirt tends to hold moisture in contact with windings. Salt (as from sea air) also will worsen the problem since it tends to absorb moisture from the air. Salt and moisture, when combined, form a good electrical conductor.
Do NOT use a forceful spray of water to clean the generator. Water will enter the generator interior and cause problems, and may also cont­aminate the generator fuel system.
3.8 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
All lead-acid batteries will discharge when not in use. The generator battery should be inspected as follows:
3.8.1 WEEKLY
• Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.
• Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries and, if necessary, fill with Distilled Water Only. Do not use tap water in batteries.
3.8.2 EVERY SIX MONTHS
• Have the state of charge and condition checked. This should be done with an automotive-type bat­tery hydrometer.
NOTE:
Servicing of the battery is to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batter­ies and the required precautions. Keep unautho­rized personnel away from batteries.
Damage will result if the battery connections are made in reverse.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding. Storage batter­ies give off explosive hydrogen gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture around the bat­tery for several hours after charging. The slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the battery and cause blindness or other injury. Any area that houses a storage battery must be properly ventilated. Do not allow smoking, open flame, sparks, or any spark producing tools or equipment near the battery. Discharge static electricity from your body before touch­ing the battery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions are to be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects;
• Use tools with insulated handles;
• Wear rubber gloves and boots;
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery;
• Disconnect any charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals; and
• Do not use any jumper cables or booster battery to crank and start the generator engine. If any battery has discharged, remove it for recharging.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte has been known to be harmful to the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures are to be observed:
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water;
• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water and seek medical attention; and
• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) or water. The bicar­bonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.

ZARDS
• For safety reasons, Generac recommends
that the installation, initial start-up and mainte­nance of this equipment is carried out by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
• The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentra­tions, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISON­ING ARE (a) inability to think coherently, (b) nau­sea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throb­bing temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF YOU EXPERI­ENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PER­SIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the gener­ator and do not operate it until it has been inspect­ed and repaired.
• Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is run-
ning unless the vehicle has a working carbon monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be installed in accordance with the genset installation manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when operating the genset in a confined area.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive
belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-
lating air is critical to correct generator operation and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel vapors from the generator compartment. Without sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes serious damage to the generator. Do not alter the installation or per­mit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at
all times. Never work on the equipment when you are physically or mentally fatigued.
• Before performing any maintenance on the genera-
tor, disconnect its battery cables to prevent acci­dental start up. Disconnect the cable from the bat­tery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.

Safety Rules
QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators
• 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 con­ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
• Never insert any tool or other object through open­ings in the generator interior, even if the unit is not running. You might seriously injure yourself or damage the equipment.
ELECTRICAL HAZAR
DS
• The generator covered by this manual produces dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter­minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in place before operating the generator. If you must work around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
• During installation onto the vehicle, properly ground (bond) the generator either by solid mount­ing to the vehicle frame or chassis, or by means of an approved bonding conductor. DO NOT connect the bonding conductor to any generator part that might be removed or disassembled during routine maintenance. If the grounding conductor must be replaced, use only a flexible conductor that is of No. 8 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper wire minimum.
• If the vehicle electrical circuits can be powered by any other source of electricity (such as a “dockside” power receptacle), there must be no possibility of connecting the different power sources to the vehi­cle circuits at the same time. The dockside (utility) power source must be positively isolated from the vehicle circuits whenever the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the vehicle circuits from the dock­side power supply when the generator is running may result in damage to the generator or serious injury or death to dockside (utility) power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• 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 nonconducting 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.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip­ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving com­ponents causing injury.
FIRE HAZARDS
• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained properly. Installation always must comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and national electrical and building codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Following proper installa­tion, do nothing that might alter a safe installation and render the unit in noncompliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regu­lations.
• Keep a fire extinguisher in the vehicle at all times. Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National Fire Protection Association are appropriate for use on the recreational vehicle generator electrical system. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. If you have any question per­taining to fire extinguishers, consult your local fire department.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS
• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com­bustible materials are left in the generator com­partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surround­ing the generator clean and free from debris.
• Gasoline is extremely FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks or any source of heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline. Comply with all laws gov­erning the storage and handling of gasoline.
• Fuel lines must be properly installed and fastened, and free of leaks. There must be no possibility of gasoline vapors entering the vehi­cle interior.
• You are required to install an approved, flexible, nonconductive fuel line between the generator fuel connection point and rigid fuel lines.
• If the generator is equipped with a liquid propane (LP) gas fuel system, install the unit so it complies with all codes, standards and regulations pertain­ing to such systems. LP gas is highly explosive. The gas tends to settle in low areas where even the slightest spark can ignite it and cause an explo­sion. Do not allow gas vapors to enter the vehicle.

5.4 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
Instructions and information in this section pertain to Generac air-cooled generators. These generators are designed specifically for installing in recreational vehicles. They operate 120-volt, single-phase, 60­Hertz, AC electrical loads.
5.5 GENERATOR ENGINE
OPERATING SPEED
The generator’s revolving field (rotor) is driven by a single-cylinder, four-cycle engine through a pulley and drive belt arrangement. The generator supplies 120 volts AC at 60 Hertz when the rotor is operating at 3,600 rpm.The drive belt arrangement allows the engine to operate at a lower speed than the rotor.
5.6 GENERATOR AC
CONNECTION SYSTEM
These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with dual stator AC power windings. These two stator windings supply electrical power to customer electrical loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection system.
Generators may be installed to provide the following outputs:
1) 120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the generator output terminals. (See Fig. 5.1 below)
2) 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output, and 240 V across the generator output terminals; or two seperate loads, each with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to half of the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120 V across the generator output terminals. (See Fig.
5.3 on page 22)

Figure 5.3 - Connection for 120/240 Volts
• The AC connection system on all air-cooled PRIMEPACT series generators uses a GROUNDED neutral.
• A separate green ground wire is connected to the recreational vehicle’s junction box.
• Loads connected across T1 (Red) to T2 (White), and T3 (Black) to T2 (White), must not exceed rat­ings for your specific generator (see Section 1.6.3).
NOTE:
Do NOT connect loads in excess of circuit breaker ratings.
6.1 LOCATION AND SUPPORT
6.1.1 GENERATOR LOCATION
The most desirable location for the generator set is between the vehicle's main frame members. However, this is seldom possible. Most units must be installed on the side of the vehicle and are difficult to reinforce.
Many recreational vehicles have been factory equipped with an area for the generator set. Some vehicles may even have a generator compartment provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
Plan the generator location based on the following:
• The generator set must be installed on a frame­work that is part of the recreational vehicle, as out­lined in Section 6.1.2.
• The location must provide an access opening that is large enough to permit generator removal (unless the generator is to be removed from under­neath the supporting framework).
• The location must provide easy access to frequent­ly serviced components, such as filters, oil drains, spark plugs and other common maintenance parts.
• The location must provide sufficient room to allow minimum clearances as outlined in Section 6.2. If sound insulation is to be used on the compartment walls and ceiling, the minimum recommended applies to the space between the generator and such insulation.
• The location must provide adequate cooling and ventilating airflow for the generator without a great deal of work and expense.
6.1.2 GENERATOR SUPPORT
The generator must be securely attached to a metal framework that has been made part of the vehicle frame structure by bolting or welding. The metal framework on which the generator will rest and which will restrain the generator set should consist of at least two horizontal beams. These beams should consist of (a) 1-1/2-inch square, 11-gauge steel tubing OR (b) 1-1/2-inch, 11-gauge angle iron. A typical sup­porting frame with horizontal support tubing, is shown in Figure 6.1.
The generator can be installed so that it sits on top of the horizontal support tubing if the vehicle design permits. Another method is to suspend the generator below the horizontal support tubing by means of suit­able, structurally sound metal framework. The fol­lowing general rules apply:
• Vehicle construction MUST be capable of support­ing the weight of the generator.
• Whether the generator is mounted above the hori­zontal support tubing or suspended below the tub­ing, the supporting frame used must be structural­ly sound.
• If the generator cannot be bolted directly to the supporting frame or support tubing, consider using additional tubing, angle brackets or other supports to give the supporting frame sufficient strength.

6.1.3 SUSPENDED MOUNTING
If you are going to suspend the generator below the horizontal support tubing, the suspension method you use with the vehicle frame members must (a) be able to support the weight of the generator AND (b) provide sufficient restraint for the generator. One typ­ical suspended mounting system is shown in Figure
6.2. The location of a suspended mounting system must be carefully planned, keeping the following gen­eral rules in mind:
• Protect the generator against road splash and debris. Baffles or splash guards may be required to protect certain areas of the generator. To make sure the gen­erator is adequately protected, road test the installa­tion through mud, water and slush.
Figure 6.2 – Typical Suspended Mounting System
• The installer must make certain that the selected location will permit adequate cooling and ventilat­ing airflow to be supplied.
6.1.4 GENERATOR RESTRAINT
Use four 3/8"-16 hardened steel bolts (Grade 5) to fas­ten the generator to the supporting frame or the sup­port tubing. These bolts must pass through (a) the gen­erator mounting base, (b) the compartment floor (if a compartment is used) and (c) the supporting frame­work (Figure 6.3). All bolts must be long enough so that when tight, at least three threads are visible past the retaining lock nuts. Refer to Section 6.2 for the location of the generator mounting holes.
Figure 6.3 – Typical Generator Restraint
6.2 GENERATOR COMPARTMENTS
Whether the generator set is being installed inside a compartment specifically manufactured to house a gen­erator or inside a compartment that the installer con­structs, the compartment MUST meet certain specifi­cations as outlined in the following sections:
6.2.1 COMPARTMENT SIZE
Plan the compartment size carefully. Provide a mini­mum clearance of 1/2 inch (13 mm) on the front and top, 1 inch (25 mm) on the sides, and 1/2 inch (13 mm) from the back for air circulation AFTER the compartment has been lined with metal and sound insulation (Figure 6.4).
NOTE:
Refer to “Figure 5.2 – Major Features and Dimensions” on Page 21.
Figure 6.4 – Clearances
6.2.2 COMPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION
• The generator compartment should be either con­structed of, or lined with, 26-gauge galvanized steel.
NOTE:
Aluminum is NOT an acceptable alternative to galvanized steel due to aluminum’s low melting point.
• If the compartment is lined with galvanized steel, it may be constructed of any material. Generac rec­ommends that the compartment be constructed of 1/2-inch thick plywood (not strandboard), with the floor made of a double thickness of 1/2-inch ply­wood with the grain of the wood at cross section for added strength (Figure 6.5).

Figure 6.5 – Typical Compartment Construction
• If constructing a compartment, line the exterior (underside) of the compartment floor with 26­gauge galvanized steel.
• All seams, splices and joints of the compartment walls (unless vapor tight by design) should be caulked to prevent poisonous, flammable or explo­sive vapors from entering the vehicle interior.
NOTE:
Caulking must be done so that the caulking mate­rial will stay in place permanently. Pressing such materials as putty tape onto joints and seams is not acceptable. A high quality silicone rubber base sealant is recommended.
• Holes and openings made in the compartment walls to allow for the passage of electrical conduit, conductors, hoses, cables, etc., into the vehicle liv­ing area must be sealed vapor tight with silicone rubber base sealant.
• If flexible metal conduit is used, it must be sealed internally at the end where it terminates inside the compartment’s electrical junction box.
NOTE:
Flexible metal conduit, due to its unique con­struction, is NOT vapor tight along its entire length.
• Seams and joints of the galvanized steel (whether used as a liner or for the compartment itself) must be lapped and mechanically secured. Such seams may be manufactured, welded, bolted, riveted or screwed. Manufactured lock seams are shown in Figure 6.6. Installer constructed compartments typically utilize a standard lap joint.
Figure 6.6 – Types of Lock Seams
• After the compartment has been metal lined and vapor sealed, line the compartment interior walls and ceiling with an approved, nonflammable sound insulating material. See Section 6.2.3.
Do not install any flammable material directly above or around the compartment. Heat, transferred through the compartment structure, may be sufficient to ignite, char or discolor seat cushions, fiberboard and other flammable materials. You may need to use approved nonflammable insulating materials in high temperature areas.
6.2.3 SOUND INSULATING MATERIALS
Once installers have determined that a compartment is properly constructed and metal lined, they can add acoustical material. This may include additional sealant or insulating material, to reflect noise away from the vehicle interior.
Sound insulating materials should be of a nonflam­mable type. One excellent insulating material is a 1­inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass having a 2-pound den­sity. When fiberglass is used, its coated side should face toward the compartment interior.
Do not install sound insulation or any absorbent material on the compartment floor interior. Such materials will become soaked with combustible or explosive vapors and liq­uids and will become a fire hazard.
Using a combination of sound insulating materials can often reduce noise more effectively than a single material. For example, a sheet of lead or visco-elastic material, along with a layer of other acoustical mate­rial, is more effective than when a single material is used.

6.2.4 ACOUSTICS
For additional noise abatement, the installer may wish to consider the following:
• Using special sound insulating materials.
• Construction of a special noise abatement com­partment.
NOTE:
Any method used to reduce noise must not adversely affect the flow of cooling and ventilating air into or out of the compartment.
In addition to the effective use of sound insulating materials, construction of a special noise abatement compartment might be considered to reduce noise levels. Such a compartment might be constructed as follows (Figure 6.7):
• Use 5/8-inch thick or 3/4-inch thick plywood in the compartment.
• Construct the compartment floor of a double thick­ness of 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch plywood.
• Line the compartment interior walls and floor, as well as the underside of the floor, with 26-gauge galvanized steel.
• Vapor seal all compartment seams and joints.
• Over the galvanized steel lining, install a combina­tion of acoustical materials as mentioned in Section 6.2.3.
To prevent fire or explosion, do not install any insulation or other absorbent materials on the interior or underside of the compartment floor.
• Seal all compartment door edges to prevent noise leakage around the door perimeter.
• Line the compartment door interior (except for air openings) with suitable, fireproof sound insulation (such as 1-inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass with a 2­pound density).
Figure 6.7 – Typical Noise Abatement
6.2.5 COMPARTMENT FLOOR CUTOUTS
You must provide openings in the generator compart­ment for the following items (Figure 6.8, Page 26):
• Engine exhaust and cooling air outlets
• Generator cooling air inlet
• Four holes for passage of generator mounting bolts. See Section 6.1.4 (Page 23).
Fuel lines and exhaust piping must not pene­trate into the vehicle living area.
6.3 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
It is absolutely essential that an adequate flow of air for cooling, ventilating and engine combustion be supplied to the generator set. Without sufficient air­flow, the engine/generator quickly overheats. Such overheating can cause serious operating difficulties and also may cause fire and personal injury. The installer must make sure that sufficient air is avail­able to the generator for cooling, ventilating and com­bustion. The installer also must provide for a path for exhausting the cooling air to the exterior of a com­partment, if so equipped.
Never use discharged cooling air for heating or permit such air to enter the vehicle interior. This air contains deadly carbon monoxide gas and other poisonous, flammable or explosive gases.
6.3.1 GENERATOR AIRFLOW
Engine operation drives cooling fans for the two-stage cooling air system. A pressure fan draws cooling air into the top of the generator (Figure 6.9). This airflow cools the engine/generator and electronic compo­nents. The second part of the cooling system, a suc­tion fan, draws air that is heated from a hot engine into a collector pan at the base of the unit. This heat­ed air (although cooler than exhaust muffler) is then deflected out the bottom toward the ground.

6.3.2 TESTING THE INSTALLATION
Generac recommends testing the installation to be sure adequate cooling airflow is available to the unit before placing the unit into service. If the unit shows signs of overheating, you will need to enlarge the air openings. Never place a unit into service until absolutely certain that cooling and ventilation is ade­quate.
NOTE:
You must test the installation, especially if you bring in air from below the generator set.
6.4 GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM
Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are explosive. Comply with all codes, standards and regulations pertaining to gasoline fuel systems used in recreational vehicle generators. Properly install and maintain the fuel system and keep it entirely free of leaks. Gasoline vapors must not enter the vehicle interior.
The installation of a gasoline fuel system (Figure
6.14) for a recreational vehicle generator set must
comply with applicable codes, standards and regula­tions. The entire fuel system must be completely free of leaks. There must be no possibility of gasoline vapors entering the vehicle interior.

Factory installed generator fuel system components include (a) fuel filter, (b) 12-volt DC electric pump, (c) engine carburetor, and (d) interconnecting lines and fittings. Connect a fuel supply line to the fuel filter inlet. Use a flexible length of approved fuel hose between the fuel filter inlet connection and rigid fuel lines.
6.4.1 FUEL TANK
Either the generator must share the vehicle engine's fuel tank, or you must install a separate fuel tank for the generator set. All fuel tanks installed on the vehi­cle must be constructed, installed and restrained so they comply with applicable codes, standards and regulations.
If the generator is to share the vehicle engine's tank, separate fuel pickup tubes are required for the engine and the generator. Generac recommends that you make the fuel pickup tube 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm) shorter than the vehicle engine's pickup tube. This prevents the generator from depleting the entire fuel supply during prolonged generator operating periods.
Do NOT tee the generator fuel supply line into the vehicle engine fuel supply line. If this is done, the generator will be starved of fuel when both engines are operating at the same time. Also, while the vehicle engine is not run­ning, generator operation may drain the vehi­cle engine supply line, making it difficult to start the vehicle engine.
6.4.2 GENERATOR FUEL SUPPLY LINE
6.4.2.1 Rigid Fuel Lines
Those lines used to supply fuel from a tank to the generator must comply with applicable codes, stan­dards and regulations. The following general rules apply to rigid fuel lines:
• Rigid lines should be of annealed, seamless, drawn aluminum or steel.
• Lines and fittings must comply with SAE J512F, “Standard Automotive Fittings,” or with ANSI B126.26 (latest edition).
• Route the fuel line so that at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance is maintained between the line and any exhaust system parts.
• Do not attach electrical wiring to fuel lines. Route the wiring so it cannot come into contact with any fuel line.
• Route fuel lines so if they leak, fuel does not drip onto any electrical or exhaust system parts.
• Use nonferrous metal straps without sharp edges to secure fuel lines.
6.4.2.2 Flexible Fuel Line
Use an approved flexible length of fuel hose between the generator fuel inlet connection and rigid fuel lines. This prevents breaking of the line caused by vibration, shifting, settling or movement. The follow­ing rules apply:
• The flexible hose must comply with SAE J30B, “Standard for Fuel and Oil Hose.” It must be approved for use with gasoline.
• The hose should be at least 6 inches (152 mm) longer than is needed to prevent the hose from rupturing if the generator shifts or settles.
6.5 LP GAS FUEL SYSTEM
LP gas is highly EXPLOSIVE. The gas is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas. Even the slightest spark can ignite it and cause and explosion. Only competent, qualified people should be allowed to install, test, adjust or ser­vice an LP gas fuel system. Install the optional fuel system in compliance with applicable codes, standards and regulations. After the installation, do not do anything that might ren­der the system in noncompliance with applica­ble codes and standards.
The LP powered range of generators are fitted with a nonadjustable, factory set system. These systems are tamper-proof to meet 1997 California Air Resources Board requirements for engine emission.
6.5.1 LP FUEL CONSUMPTION (lb./hour)
6.5.2 PARTS NOT INCLUDED IN FUEL SYSTEM
The propane fuel system does NOT include such items as (a) gas tank, (b) gas piping, (c) fittings, (d) valves, and (e) primary regulator, used to store the gaseous fuel and deliver it to the gaseous fuel sole­noid (Figure 2.15, Page 29).
Use only approved components in the fuel sup­ply system. All components must be properly installed in accordance with applicable codes. Improper installation or use of unauthorized components may result in fire or an explosion. Follow approved methods to test the system for leaks. No leakage is permitted. Do not allow fuel vapors to enter the vehicle interior.

6.5.3 SOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
When installing an LP gas system, consider seriously the following items:
• All fittings, lines, hoses and clamps must be tight and free of leaks. Apply a pipe sealant to threads when assembling threaded connections. This reduces the possibility of leakage.
• Test the entire fuel system for leaks using approved test methods.
• Optimum gas pressure at the inlet to the gaseous fuel solenoid valve and secondary regulator is 11 inches water column.
• The installer’s fuel supply connection point is at the gaseous fuel solenoid valve. This is a 3/4-inch (female) connection. Provide a suitable 3/4-inch NPT (male) connector to attach to the fuel supply line.
• Use a length of approved flexible fuel hose between the gaseous fuel solenoid valve and rigid gas pip­ing. The flexible line should be at least 6 inches longer than necessary.
6.5.4 VAPOR WITHDRAWAL
LP gas is stored in pressure tanks as a liquid. The gas systems used with these generators were designed only for vapor withdrawal type systems. Vapor withdrawal systems use the gas vapors that form above the liquid fuel in the tank. Do NOT attempt to use the generator with any liquid with­drawal type system.
6.5.5 PRIMARY REGULATOR
Gas pressure delivered to the solenoid valve must be properly regulated by means of a primary gas regula­tor. Mount the primary regulator at the gas tank out­let or in the supply line from the gas tank. The fol­lowing rules apply:
• For best results, the primary regulator supplies gaseous fuel to the secondary regulator at 11 inch­es water column. Do NOT exceed 14 inches water column.
• The installer must be sure the primary regulator is rated at sufficient gas flow to operate the generator plus all other gas appliances in the circuit.
NOTE:
Recommended MINIMUM gas flow rate for all air­cooled PRIMEPACT series generators is 67 cubic feet per hour.
If an existing primary gas regulator does not have a sufficient flow capacity for the generator and other gas appliances in the circuit, (a) install a pri­mary regulator with adequate flow rate, or (b) install a separate regulator only and rated at least 67 cubic feet per hour. The inlet side of any pri­mary regulator that supplies the generator must connect directly to a gas pressure tank. Do NOT tee the generator line into a gas circuit feeding other areas.
6.5.6 GASEOUS CARBURETION
LP gas vapors should be supplied to the secondary regulator inlet at about 11 inches water column (pos­itive pressure). The engine pistons draw air in during the intake stroke (Figure 6.16). This air passes through a carburetor venturi, which creates a low pressure that is proportional to the quantity of air being pumped. The low pressure from the carburetor venturi acts on the regulator diaphragm to pull the diaphragm toward the source of low pressure. A lever attached to the diaphragm opens a valve to permit gas glow through the carburetor.
Figure 6.16 – LP Gas Carburetion Diagram
Section 6 – Installation
QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 29
The greater the airflow through the carburetor ven­turi, the lower the pressure at the venturi throat. The lower the pressure at the venturi throat, the greater the diaphragm movement, and the greater the move­ment of the regulator valve. The more the regulator valve opens, the greater the gas flow that is propor­tional to airflow through the generator.
The following facts about the secondary regulator must be emphasized:
• The regulator must be sensitive to venturi throat pressure changes throughout the operating range.
• The regulator must be properly adjusted so it will stop the flow of gas when the engine is not running (no air flow through the carburetor).
• The slightest airflow (and vacuum in the venturi throat) should move the regulator valve off its seat and permit gas to flow.
6.5.7 FUEL SUPPLY LINES
• LP gas lines must be accessible, but protected against possible damage.
• Do NOT connect electrical wiring to any LP gas fuel line or run wiring alongside the lines.
• Route gas lines away from hot engine exhausts.
• Retain gas lines with metal clamps that do not have sharp edges.
• Install an approved length of flexible hose between the gaseous fuel solenoid valve and rigid fuel sup­ply lines. The flexible line must be nonmetallic, nonorganic and nonconductive. It must be approved for use with LP gas.
Gaseous fuel lines between the tank and the secondary regulator are under a positive pres­sure (about 11 inches water column). Gas pres­sure at the outlet side of the secondary regula­tor, however, is a negative pressure and can draw flame inside a line or fitting and cause an explosion.
6.5.8 EXCESS FLOW VALVE
LP gas tanks should have an excess flow valve, according to NFPA 501C, Paragraph 3-4.4. This valve and the gas lines must be carefully sized so the valve will close when a fuel line is severed or broken. Consult the Natural-LP Gas Association for informa­tion and limitations of excess flow valves.
Manual shutoff valves on the supply tank and else­where in the system must be fully open when operat­ing the generator. The excess flow valve functions properly only if all valves are fully open.
6.5.9 LEAKAGE TESTS
Do not place the generator into service until you have properly tested the gas system for leaks. To test the system, you need a separate source of 12 volts DC to open the gaseous fuel solenoid valve.
The leak test must comply fully with NFPA, Paragraph 318. All connections, hoses, valve regula­tors, fittings, and other fuel system parts must be tested under gas or air pressure of not less than 90 psi (620 kPa), while using soap and water or an equivalent solution to check for leaks. Other approved methods of testing for leaks may be used, if appropriate. DO NOT USE ANY FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
6.6 EXHAUST SYSTEM
The generator exhaust system must be safely and properly installed. Only approved mufflers and other exhaust system parts must be used. A properly installed exhaust system must be vapor tight, quiet and completely safe.
The generator engine gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concen­trations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOX­IDE POISONING ARE (a) inability to think coher­ently; (b) vomiting; (c) twitching muscles; (d) throbbing temples; (e) dizziness; (f) headaches; (g) weakness; and (h) sleepiness. IF YOU FEEL ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Do not operate the generator until its exhaust system has been inspected and properly repaired.
Never tee the generator engine exhaust pipe into the vehicle engine exhaust piping. This causes excessive back pressure on the genera­tor engine. Also, water from one engine can damage the other engine.

6.6.1 MUFFLERS AND SPARK ARRESTORS
This muffler meets code and standard requirements of the U.S. Forest Service. Use only mufflers and parts approved by Generac. Any person(s) installing an unapproved muffler, or an unapproved exhaust system part, or modifying an exhaust system in any way that might cause a hazard, is liable for any dam­age, injury or warranty expense that might be caused by such unapproved installation or modification.
Failure to provide and maintain a spark arrestor may be in violation of the law. If this generator is used on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered unimproved land, you must provide a spark arrestor. The vehicle owner or operator must maintain this device in good condition. In the state of California, the preceding is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
When installing/replacing the tailpipe or spark arrestor components, verify that the tailpipe has a hole to securely fasten the spark arrestor compo­nents (see Figure 6.17). Use only Generac supplied hardware. Substitution of parts may cause damage to the screen or a loose fit to the tailpipe.
Figure 6.17 — Spark Arrestor Installation
6.6.2 EXHAUST SYSTEM SAFETY
• Maintain a clearance of at least 3 inches (76 mm) between exhaust system parts and any com­bustible material (such as wood, felt, cotton, organic fibers or other like material). If you cannot maintain the 3-inch (76 mm) clearance, locate, insulate or shield the exhaust part(s) so that the temperature of any combustible material is not raised more than 117° F (65° C) above the ambient air temperature.
• Extend the exhaust system at least 1 inch (25 mm) past the outer edge of the vehicle. Do not terminate the exhaust system under the vehicle.
• Terminate the exhaust tailpipe such that exhaust gases will not be drawn back into the generator compartment and recirculated.
• If there is any possibility of the tailpipe or muffler being damaged, protect these damage-prone areas by means of a protective device (such as a skid bar).
• Install the generator exhaust system according to safe automotive practices.
• Use enough exhaust system hangers to prevent any part of the system from being dislocated.
• Use exhaust system parts recommended by Generac. Using unapproved exhaust mufflers and exhaust system parts is the responsibility of the person(s) installing such unauthorized parts.
• Do not terminate the exhaust system under any opening, window or vent that can be opened or is not permanently sealed from the vehicle interior.
• Exhaust piping must be large enough to prevent excessive back pressure on the generator engine.
• Never tee the generator engine exhaust pipe into the vehicle engine exhaust piping. This causes excessive back pressure on the generator engine. Also, water from one engine can damage the other engine.
• Plan exhaust system installation carefully. Comply with all applicable codes, standards and regula­tions.
6.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Be sure to read Section 5.6 on Page 20.
The following general rules apply to electrical con­nections in a recreational vehicle:
• Qualified electricians who are familiar with applic­able codes, standards and regulations should install electrical wiring.
• The wiring should comply with codes, standards and regulations. The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), and state and local codes apply.
• Switches and circuit breakers should be of a type approved for use in recreational vehicles and must be mounted and installed to prevent damage from road shock.
• Wiring must be of adequate size, have approved insulative qualities and be properly supported.
• Conduit and wire openings into the generator com­partment (if used) must be vapor-sealed to prevent entry of flammable, explosive or poisonous gases into the vehicle.
6.7.1 ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX
Install an approved, square electrical junction box with a blank cover on the interior or exterior wall of the area you plan to install the generator (NOT on the generator). Route the generator's AC output leads into this junction box through approved flexible con­duit. This is the point of first termination for genera­tor AC output leads.

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 31
6.7.2 WIRING
• Wiring should be of stranded copper to reduce the chance that vibration may cause breakage.
• Wire gauge size should be large enough to handle at least 115 percent of the installed generator's rated maximum current.
• If neutral conductors are used, they must be the same size as other leg wires.
• Route power supply conductors from generator AC output leads T1 (red), T2 (white), T3 (black) and the green ground wire through approved flexible conduit to the electrical junction box on the com­partment wall.
• If flexible metal conduit is used between the gener­ator and the compartment junction box, the con­duit end that terminates the compartment junction box must be vapor-sealed. Flexible metal conduit is NOT vapor tight along its entire length.
• From the junction box, route power supply wires through approved conduit to either (a) double­pole, double-throw transfer switch, or (b) approved isolation receptacle. Connecting to a transfer switch or isolation receptacle must pre­vent vehicle electrical circuits from being connect­ed to two different power supplies at the same time (such as generator and dockside power).
• Conductors must be rated 221° F (105° C) or must be of a larger conductor size.
6.7.3 GENERATOR AC CONNECTIONS
Generator AC output leads T1 (red), T2 (white) and T3 (black) come out of the generator as shown in Figure 6.18. Leads T1 (red) and T3 (black) are “hot,” while T2 (white) is the grounded neutral lead. There is also a green lead that connects to ground in the junction box of the recreational vehicle.
Figure 6.18 – Generator AC Output Leads
Line T1 (red) to T2 (white) is protected against over­load by a circuit breaker (CB1). Use this line-to-neu­tral connection separately to operate 120-volt, single­phase, 60 Hertz, AC loads. Line T3 (black) to T2 (white) also is protected against overload by a circuit breaker (CB2). Use this line-to-neutral connection separately to operate similar loads. However, be sure the total unit load does not exceed the maximum rat­ing of the generator. The neutral line (T2, white) on all units is a grounded neutral.
Do NOT connect electrical loads in excess of any circuit breaker rating or you will develop problems with circuit breaker tripping, which causes a loss of AC output. Also, do NOT exceed the generator's rated wattage capacity. Add the watts or amperes of all lighting, appli­ance, tool and motor loads the generator will operate at one time. This total should be less than the unit's rated wattage/amperage capaci­ty.
6.7.4 CONDUIT
Route the connections between the generator and the junction box through approved, flexible conduit. The following general rules apply:
• Cut wiring to the required length and allow extra wire for junction box connections.
• Carefully prepare conduit ends to prevent sharp edges from cutting through wiring insulation.
• Route conduit so it does not interfere with genera­tor movement.
• If you use metallic conduit, vapor seal the end of the conduit where it enters the junction box. Do this because flexible metallic conduit is not vapor­proof along its entire length.
6.7.5 ISOLATING DIFFERENT POWER SOURCES
Connections from the junction box must terminate in a double-pole, double-throw transfer switch (Figure
6.19, Page 33). An alternate method for isolating dif­ferent power sources is by using an isolating recepta­cle (Figure 6.20, Page 33). Whichever method you use, you must be certain that both power sources are NOT connected at the same time.
6.7.6 POWER SUPPLY CORD
The power supply cord must comply with all applic­able codes, standards and regulations. It must be large enough to handle the full amperage to which it will be subjected. (See page 33 for illustration.)

6.7.7 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS
The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, article 551) requires that you install ground fault circuit inter­rupters (GFCIs) on all external and some internal electrical receptacles. Contact your manufacturer or dealer for recommendations.
6.8 BATTERY INSTALLATION
6.8.1 RECOMMENDED BATTERY
Install a battery that meets the following require­ments:
• The battery must be a 12-volt, automotive type storage battery.
• For prevailing ambient temperatures above 32° F (0° C), use a battery rated 70 amp-hours and capa­ble of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes.
• For prevailing ambient temperatures below 32° F (0° C), use a battery rated 95 amp-hours and capa­ble of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes.
NOTE:
If the battery is to be used to power other vehicle accessories, as well as start the generator, you may need a battery with a larger capacity.
6.8.2 BATTERY CABLES
Using battery cables that are too long or too small in diameter may cause a drop in voltage, which causes starting problems. For the best cold weather starting, the voltage drop between battery terminals and the generator connection point should not exceed 0.12 volts per 100 amperes of cranking current.
PRIMEPACT generators are rated at about 100 DC amperes of cranking current.
Select battery cables based on (a) cable length and (b) prevailing ambient temperatures. Generally, the longer the cable and the colder the weather, the larg­er the cable size must be, as shown in the chart.
6.8.3 BATTERY CABLE CONNECTIONS
1. Connect the battery cable from the battery post or terminal indicated by a POSITIVE, POS or (+) to the lug on the starter contactor (Figure 6.21).
NOTE:
Check to be sure the battery cable boot for the starter cable has been installed.
2. Connect the battery cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) to the frame ground connection (Figure 6.21).
3. Connect cables so the connectors are clean and tight.
Figure 6.21 – Connecting Battery Cables
6.8.4 BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Install the generator battery in its own, vented com­partment. Place the battery compartment away from any source of heat, sparks or flame.
Provide ventilation openings in the battery compart­ment. The minimum size of openings should be 2 square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure, where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause damage.

6.9 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
A plug-in receptacle (Figure 6.22) is provided on the generator set, above the muffler enclosure. Use this receptacle to connect an optional remote-mounted start/stop panel to the generator. Installation of such a panel will permit you to start and stop the genera­tor engine from any convenient location inside the vehicle.
Figure 6.22 – Remote Panel Plug-in Receptacle
6.9.1 REMOTE PANEL MODELS
The remote panels mount a rocker type start/stop switch, a “Generator Run” advisory lamp and an hourmeter. The hourmeter should be used in con­junction with the maintenance operations found in Part I of this manual.
• Model 004057 includes the remote panel and a 10 foot long, 4 wire harness.
• Model 004184 includes the remote panel and a 30 foot long, 4 wire harness.
7.1 POST INSTALLATION TESTS
The air-cooled generator set was factory tested and adjusted. You should not be required to adjust the unit any further except under special circumstances.
Do not make any unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are correct for most applica­tions. When making adjustments, however, be careful to avoid overspeeding the engine.
7.2 BEFORE INITIAL START-UP
Before starting, complete the following:
1. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if nec­essary, fill to the dipstick “FULL” mark (cross­hatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark.
2. Check the fuel supply. Gas fuel lines must have been properly purged and leak tested in accor­dance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.
If a liquid propane (LP) gas fuel system has been installed, it must be properly tested for leaks before operating the system in compli­ance with ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C. No leakage is permitted. You must be sure no gasoline fuel vapors enter the vehicle interior.
7.3 INITIAL START
When you are absolutely certain that the unit has been properly installed and prepared for use, start the engine as follows:
1. Turn off all electrical loads. Do this by setting the generator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or open) position.
2. Refer to Part I, Section 2.5, “Starting the Generator” (Page 8), for cranking and starting instructions. The engine may require more cranking for initial starting since the fuel lines have to be primed (use of the primer switch will shorten this time).
3. Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to allow internal temperatures to stabilize.
4. Carefully inspect the engine/generator for fuel, oil and exhaust system leaks. Before proceeding to the next step, correct any leakage immediately.
5. When all tests and adjustments at no-load are completed, apply electrical loads and check for proper operation under load. See Section 7.4. Run the unit at least 30 minutes with loads applied.
6. Turn off all electrical loads by setting the genera­tor’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or open) position.
7. Let the unit run at no-load for a few minutes to stabilize internal engine/-generator temperatures. Then, shut down the engine.
NOTE:
The generator set was thoroughly tested and adjusted at the factory before shipping. No addi­tional adjustment should be necessary. Only qual­ified service technicians who have been trained should perform adjustments outlined in this man­ual.

CALIFORNIA AND FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), together with Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac), are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your new engine.* New utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog stan­dards for the state of California and the federal government. Generac will warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification or improp­er maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition and exhaust systems. Generac will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Emissions control systems on 1997 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, dur­ing such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Owner’s Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine. However, Generac cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unap­proved modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or ‘grey market’ parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.
You are responsible for presenting your engine to a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a prob­lem occurs. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our toll-free number:
1-800-333-1322
IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California and federal law. See also the “Generac Limited Warranties for Generac Power Systems, Inc.,” which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by Generac. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Generac Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty ser­vice, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. The purchaser/owner shall be responsible for any expenses or other charges incurred for service calls and/or transportation of the product to/from the inspection or repair facilities. The purchaser/owner also shall be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at the fol­lowing address:

Section 12 – Warranty
QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1997 and later model year engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on
the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall contin­ue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or
equipment, and to each subsequent purchaser/owner, that each of its engines is ...
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the EPA and CARB pursuant
to their respective authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a war-
ranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manu­facturer’s application for certification.
(c) The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner’s Manual
shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no
charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsi-
ble for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused
by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient
to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS
Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac’s ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or ‘grey market’ parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac
engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or ‘grey market’ part.
EMISSION RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

Generac RV generators manufactured prior to December 31, 1997, DO NOT have a transferable warranty. Generac RV gen­erators manufactured after January 1, 1998, have a transferable warranty to the second owner ONLY for the remainder of the three-year limited warranty. Proof-of-purchase is required and must be presented to a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility prior to the performance of any warranty service.
All warranty expense allowances are subject to the conditions defined in Generac’s

ICE INFORMATION MANUAL.
THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:
• Generac Guardian generators that utilize non-Generac replacement parts.
• Costs of normal maintenance, adjustments, installation and start-up.
• Failures caused by any contaminated fuels, oils, coolants or lack of proper fluid amounts.
• Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper installation. As with all mechanical devices, the Generac engines need periodic part(s) service and replacement to perform well. This warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part(s) or engine.
• Failures caused by any external cause or act of God, such as collision, theft, vandalism, riot or wars, nuclear holocaust, fire, freezing, lightning, earthquake, windstorm, hail, volcanic eruption, water or flood, tornado or hurricane.
• Damage related to rodent infestation.
• Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.
• Any incidental, consequential or indirect damages caused by defects in materials or workmanship, or any delay in repair or replacement of the defective part(s).
• Failure due to misapplication.
• Telephone, cellular phone, facsimile, internet access or other communication expenses.
• Living or travel expenses of person(s) performing service, except as specifically included within the terms of a specific unit warranty period.

• Rental equipment used while warranty repairs are being performed.
• Overnight freight costs for replacement part(s).
• Overtime labor.
• Starting batteries, fuses, light bulbs and engine fluids.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
GENERAC'S ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PART(S) AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC'S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse­quential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also have other rights from state to state.
