OPERATING SAFETY
Before using the unit, be sure you read and understand all of the instructions. This equipment was
designed for specific applications; DO NOT modify or use this equipment for any application other than
which it was designed for. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel can be dangerous.
Read the operating instructions and familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all instruments
and controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment
before being allowed to operate or set up the unit. The following points should be practiced at all times:
•The area immediately surrounding the unit should be dry, clean, and free of debris.
•Position and operate the unit on a firm, level surface.
•DO NOT start a unit in need of repair.

Safety
1. Noticeable change in engine speed.
2. Loss of electrical output.
3. Equipment connected to the unit overheats.
4. Sparking occurs.
5. Engine misfires or there is excessive engine/generator vibration.
6. Protective covers are loose or missing.
7. If the ambient air temperature is above 120°F (49°C).
ENGINE SAFETY
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling. Failure to follow the
safety guidelines described below could result in severe injury or death. Read and follow all safety warnings
described in the engine operator's manual. A copy of this manual was supplied with the unit when it was
shipped from the factory.
•DO NOT run engine indoors or in an area with poor ventilation unless exhaust hoses are used. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly, odorless and colorless gas which, if inhaled, can cause
nausea, fainting or death. Make sure engine exhaust cannot seep into closed rooms or ventilation
equipment.
•DO NOT touch or lean against hot exhaust pipes or engine components.
•DO NOT clean air filter with gasoline or other types of low flash point solvents.
•DO NOT operate the unit without a functional exhaust system.
•Prolonged exposure to sound levels in excess of 85 dB(A) can cause permanent hearing loss. Wear
hearing protection when working around a running engine.
•Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe injury or death. Sulfuric acid can cause eye
damage, burn flesh or eat holes in clothing. Protective eye wear and clothing are necessary when
working on or around the battery. Always disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the
corresponding terminal before performing any service on the engine or other components.
•DO NOT open the radiator cap or oil drain plug while the engine is running or before the engine has
cooled down. Pressurized coolant and hot engine oil can cause severe burns. Allow the unit to cool
completely before attempting any service work.
•Keep area around exhaust pipes and air ducts free of debris to reduce the chance of an accidental fire.
SERVICE SAFETY
All service work must be performed by qualified personnel who are familiar with the equipment. Only a
qualified electrician should troubleshoot or repair electrical problems occurring in this equipment. Follow the safety guidelines described below to prevent hazardous situations which could result in severe
injury or death.
•NEVER wash the unit with high pressure hoses, power washers, or steam cleaners. Water may collect
in the unit, causing damage to electrical parts.
•ALWAYS use extreme caution when servicing this unit in damp conditions. Do not service the unit if
your skin or clothing is wet. Do not allow water to collect around the base of the unit.
•Replace all missing and hard to read decals. Decals provide important operating instructions and
warn of dangers and hazards.
•Before servicing the unit, verify the Control Power switch and circuit breakers are in the OFF (O)
position, and the negative (-) terminal on the battery is disconnected. DO NOT perform even routine
service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut down.
2MMG25I-35D-45I-55DF4 Operating Manual36949 B
•DO NOT start the unit under load. The circuit breakers must be in the OFF (O) position when starting
the unit in Manual mode. The circuit breakers can be in the ON (I) position only when started in the
Auto mode. A transfer switch must be used in the Auto mode to deflect the load upon startup.
TOWING SAFETY
Towing a trailer requires care. Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened
to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Some states require that large trailers be registered
and licensed. Contact your local Department of Transportation office to check on license requirements for
your particular unit.
•Verify the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
•Check trailer tires for wear and proper inflation.
•DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.
•Verify the trailer hitch and the coupling are compatible. Make sure the coupling is securely fastened
to the vehicle.
•Verify directional and brake lights on the trailer are connected and working properly.
•Verify wheel lug nuts are present and tightened to the specified torque.
•Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road
towing speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, depending on terrain.
Safety
•When towing, maintain extra space between vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and sudden
lane changes. Practice turning, stopping and backing up in an area away from heavy traffic prior to
transporting the unit.
•Wipe the coupler clean and apply fresh grease each time the trailer is towed to eliminate squeaking.
•Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under the tongue and ATTACH THE BREAKAWAY CABLETO THE REAR BUMPER OF THE TOWING VEHICLE. Do not attach the cable to the trailer
hitch.
•Before towing the trailer, verify that the weight of the trailer is equal across all tires. On trailers with
adjustable height hitches, adjust the angle of the trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as possible.
On units equipped with a tandem axle trailer, a large angle between the trailer and tow vehicle will
cause more weight to be carried by one axle, which could cause premature wear on the tires and
axles and cause potentially unsafe operating conditions.
•The trailer is equipped with hydraulic or electric surge brakes. Verify proper operation of the brakes
by braking the vehicle at a slow speed before entering traffic. Both the trailer and the vehicle should
brake smoothly. If the trailer seems to be pushing, verify the level in the brake fluid reservoir, if equipped.
REPORTING TRAILER SAFETY DEFECTS
If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Generac Mobile Products.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in an individual
problem between you, your dealer, or Generac Mobile Products.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:1-800-424-9153),
go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to:

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
The voltage selector switch mechanically changes the connections between the generator output leads and the
connection lugs on the main control panel. Voltage ranges are selected by rotating the handle on the switch to the
desired voltage.
WARNING
Electric Shock: Never change the voltage selector switch while the engine is running
or the controller is on. If the engine is running or starts while the setting is changed,
severe arcing will occur, which may result in death, serious injury, damage to the
switch and generator windings.
The voltage selector switch is equipped with a lockout mechanism. Once the proper voltage has been selected,
insert a padlock through the lockout hole(s). By locking the handle in place, unauthorized changing of the voltage
setting is prevented.
The electronic voltage regulator controls the output of the generator by regulating the current into the exciter field.
The regulator has four screwdriver adjustable potentiometers that may be adjusted for U/F dip, under frequency
protention (U/F), stability, and voltage. The voltage regulator on the unit is adjusted before shipment from the factory.
Contact Generac Mobile Products for additional information before attempting to adjust the voltage regulator.

Note: When the voltage selector switch is in position for 480/277V 3Ø, voltage at the two GFCI receptacles is 139
volts and the voltage at the three twist-lock receptacles is 240/139 volts. Generac Mobile Products does not
recommend using the receptacles in the 480V position. When the voltage selector switch is in position for 208/120V
3Ø, voltage at the three twist-lock receptacles and the two GFCI receptacles is 208/120 volts.
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
The main circuit breaker is located on the main control panel. When the breaker is
OFF (O), power is interrupted between the connection lugs, the optional cam lock
receptacles, and the generator. Once the connections have been made to the
connection lugs or the optional cam lock receptacles, and the unit has been started
and allowed to reach normal operating temperature, the breaker may be switched ON
(I).
The main circuit breaker will be tripped, disconnecting power to the connection lugs
and the optional cam lock receptacles if any of the following items occur while the unit
is running:
00489
Figure 3-8. Main Breaker
36949 BMMG25I-35D-45I-55DF4 Operating Manual29
Operation

TRANSFER SWITCH
The generator neutral is bonded to ground when shipped from the factory. The bonding
plate will need to be removed when the unit is used as a standby power supply. Installation
should be in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), state and local regulations.
When the unit is used as a standby power supply, it must be equipped with a transfer switch which isolates it from
the utility’s distribution system. A transfer switch is designed to transfer electrical loads from the normal power source
(utility) to the emergency power source (generator) when normal voltage falls below a prescribed level. The transfer
switch automatically returns the load back to the normal source when power is restored back to operating levels.

If not using John Deere Plus 50 II engine oil, the interval must be decreased to every 250 hours.
ISUZU ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS
Note: The EPA final Tier 4 Isuzu engines have an engine break-in duration that will prohibit the unit from providing
rated standby power upon factory delivery. The unit is tested at the factory and is initially capable of a prime standby
power output. The engine performance will increase to 95% of full rated power during the first 20 hours of loaded
operation. The unit will provide full rated power after the complete engine break-in period of 70 hours of loaded
operation.
Operate the engine at heavy loads (60-90% of rated output maximum) as much as possible during the break-in
period. If the engine has spent significant time at idle, constant speed(s) and/or light load or if makeup oil is required,
a longer break in period may be needed. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for a full description of necessary
procedures on the addition of oil and extension of the break-in period. For more information on regular maintenance
intervals, see Basic Maintenance Schedule - Isuzu Engine.
JOHN DEERE ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS
Note: During the first 20 hours of operation, avoid long periods of no load or sustained maximum load operation. If
the generator is to run for longer than five minutes without a load, shut the generator down.
John Deere engines are supplied with engine break-in oil from the factory. Extra care during the first 100 hours of
engine operation will result in better performance and longer engine life. DO NOT exceed 100 hours of operation
with the break-in oil. Operate the engine at heavy loads (60-90% of maximum) as much as possible. If the engine
has spent significant time at idle, constant speed(s), and/or light load, or if makeup oil is required, a longer break in
period may be needed. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for a full description of necessary procedures on the
addition of break-in oil and extension of the break-in period. For more information on regular maintenance intervals,
see Basic Maintenance Schedule - John Deere Engine.

Section 5 - Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN CONDITIONS
WARNING
Allow engine to cool before performing any troubleshooting procedures. Contacting
the engine when it is hot will cause personal injury.
Low Fuel Level Shutdown
1. Check fuel level on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window. Verify the unit is sitting level to ensure an accurate
reading.
2. Check for leaks in fuel tank. The fuel tank should not run dry under normal circumstances. The engine con-
troller will shut the engine down when there is five percent of fuel remaining in the tank.
3. If fuel level is good and no leaks are found, check the fuel level sender and the connecting wiring for dam-
age. To check for continuity between the sender and the engine controller, remove the appropriate bolts
from the control panel to access the inside of the control box. See the appropriate DC wiring diagram Wiring
Diagrams for the proper path between the engine controller and the fuel level sender.
Low Oil Pressure Shutdown
1. Check engine oil level with the dipstick. The engine controller will shut the engine down when oil pressure is
less than 20 psi (138 kPa). Add oil if required.
2. Visually inspect engine for oil leaks.
3. If oil level is good, restart the unit and verify the loss of oil pressure. Shut the engine down immediately if the
oil pressure value does not read 5 psi (34 kPa) within five seconds.
4. Check oil pressure sender. To identify corrective action, see the troubleshooting section of the engine oper-
ator’s manual.
Low Coolant Level Shutdown
1. Allow engine to cool.
2. Check coolant level in the radiator. To access the radiator cap, remove the access panel from the top of the
enclosure directly above the radiator. Add coolant until it is 3/4 in. (2 cm) below the filler neck. Secure the
radiator cap back into its original position.
3. Inspect coolant hoses, engine block and water pump for visible leaks.
4. Check engine oil to verify no coolant has mixed with it (oil will appear milky if coolant is present). For addi-
tional information, see the engine operator’s manual.
High Coolant Temperature Shutdown
1. Check coolant level in the overflow jug.
2. Restart engine and read the coolant temperature to verify a high coolant temperature shutdown. Stop
engine immediately if the coolant temperature is 230°F (110°C) or more.
3. Allow engine to cool. Add coolant to the overflow jug if it is low and check the level of coolant in the radiator.
To access the radiator cap, remove the access panel from the top of the enclosure.

Section 7 - Options & Accessories
GENERATOR CAM LOCK CONNECTIONS OPTION
The unit may be equipped with cam lock connections, located below the connection lugs. These receptacles provide
connection points for the attachment of external loads to the generator. A decal near the cam lock connections details
the proper connections for selected voltages.
WARNING
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that only a trained and licensed electrician perform any
wiring and related connections to the generator. Installation should be in compliance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC), state and local regulations. Failure to follow
proper installation requirements may result in equipment or property damage, per-
sonal injury or death.
WARNING
Before any connections are made to the generator, verify the main circuit breaker
and the Control Power switch are OFF (O) and the negative (-) battery cable is
disconnected. Potentially lethal voltages may be present at the generator connection
lugs.
DANGER
IMPROPER OR INCORRECT CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGE TO BACKFEED INTO UTILITY LINES.
THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR ELECTROCUTION TO UTILITY WORKERS NEARBY.
MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR IS SUPPLYING POWER TO AN ISOLATED OBJECT
OR BUILDING THAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY UTILITY LINES.
Connections should be made by plugging power cables equipped with series 16 taper nose 400A/600V cam lock
plugs into the cam lock receptacles.Secure the connection by rotating the plug a 1/2 turn to the right.

Figure 7-1. Cam Lock Connections
WARNING
NEVER attempt to disable or modify the lug door safety switch. Equipment damage,
personal injury or death may result.
A ground connection is located on the far right of the cam lock panel. The unit MUST be connected to ground for
proper operating safety. The generator neutral is bonded to ground when it is shipped from the factory. The bonding
plate will need to be removed when the generator is used as a standby power source. INSTALLATION SHOULD
BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC), STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.

Options & Accessories
VISCOUS FAN CLUTCH OPTION
The viscous fan clutch option allows the engine cooling fan to engage at lower speeds and disengage at higher
speeds, increasing cooling system efficiency. The cooling fan will engage at full speed when the coolant temperature
rises. When the fan is operating at full speed, it will switch to a slower speed when the coolant temperature drops.
There will be an audible difference when the engine cooling fan switches speeds. Depending on unit model, the
temperature ranges vary between 170°F and 200°F (77°C and 93°C).
