Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or ser­vicing this equipment. Become familiar with the Owner’ s Man ual and with the generator. The generator can operate saf ely , efficiently and reliab ly 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 ev ery possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The w arnings 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 f or y ou and others . You must also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique that you choose does not render the generator to be unsafe.
• For fire safety, the auxiliary generator must be installed and maintained properly . Installation must always comply with applicab le 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) established. Also, the generator and related components must be installed completely in conformance with the manufacturer’ s instructions and recommendations. Following proper installation, do nothing that might alter a safe installation and render the unit in non-compliance with such codes, standards, laws and regulations.
The Recreational Vehicle Generator produces extremely high and dangerous electrical voltages and can cause dangerous, and possi­bly fatal, electrical shock. A void contact with bare wires, terminals, etc. while the unit is running. If you must work around an operating gen­erator, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard. Never work on this equipment or handle any electrical device while standing in water, while baref oot, or while hands or feet are wet. Dan­gerous electrical shock will result.
• Have the generator properly grounded (bonded) during installation onto the vehicle, 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 NO T 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 AWG copper wire minimum.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans and other moving parts of this equipment. Never remove any drive belt or fan guards while the unit is operating.
• Inspect the generator periodically. Repair or replace all damaged or defective parts immediately.
In case of accident caused by electric shock, shut down the source of electrical power at once. If this cannot be done, free victim from live conductor. A V OID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a dry board, dry rope, or other non-conducting implement to free the victim from live conductor. If victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get medical help
• Inspect fuel system frequently for leaks or damage. Repair or replace any damaged or leaking component immediately. Never attempt to change, alter or modify the generator fuel system in any wa y that might affect safety or compliance with applicable codes and standards.
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 ev en death. This exhaust system must have been properly installed, in strict compliance with applicable codes and standards. Following installation, you must do nothing that might render the system unsafe or in non-compliance with such codes and standards. The generator compartment must be com­pletely vapor sealed from vehicle interior . There must be no possibility of exhaust fumes entering the vehicle interior. Never operate this equipment with a leaking or defective exhaust system.
• 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.
• Do not smoke around the generator . Wipe up any fuel or oil spills imme­diately . Nev er leave oily or fuel soaked r ags in the generator compartment or on the generator itself. K eep the area around the generator clean and free of debris.
• Adequate ventilation is required to expel to xic fumes and fuel vapors from the generator compartment. Do not alter the installation of this equip­ment in any manner that might obstruct air and ventilation openings. Such openings must be kept clear and unobstructed.
Some generators may use LP gas (propane) 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.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator set, 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.

GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manuf actured f or 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 a competent authority.
DANGER: FOR FIRE SAFETY, THE GENERATOR MUST HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH (1) 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 NON-COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH CODES, STAN­DARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
You can use this generator to supply electrical power for oper­ating 120/240 volts, single phase, 60 Hertz, AC electrical loads. These loads can require up to 4500 watts of (4.5kW) of power, but cannot exceed 37.5 AC amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 18.8 AC amperes at 240 volts.
CAUTION: 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.
INSTALLATION
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared under the assump­tion that a competent, qualified technician installed the generator. We also assume the installer complied with all applicable codes, standards and regulations pertaining to installation.
Owners/Operators must make sure to do nothing that might render the installation unsafe or in noncompliance with applic­able codes, standards and instructions. They should be sure the unit has been installed to allow adequate ventilation f or cool­ing and exhaust air.
SAFETY
Before attempting to use the generator set, carefully read GENERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover of this Manual. Comply strictly with these RULES to prevent accidents and damage to equipment and/or property. W e suggest that copy­ing and posting GENERAL SAFETY RULES in potential hazard areas of the vehicle. Stress saf ety to all operators and poten­tial operators of this equipment.
GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEM
This generator set is 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. Note, however, that neutral is grounded.
The generator may hav e been installed so that the unit powers 120 volt AC loads (Figure 1); or y ou can wire them to connect both 120 and/or 240 volt AC electrical loads. Be sure to install jumper wire between the circuit breakers when reconnecting for 120/240 volts. Refer to the Installation Manual for more information.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL ASSUME THE GENERATOR HAS BEEN PROP­ERLY INST ALLED , CONNECTED , SERVICED , TESTED AND ADJUSTED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLA TION TECHNICIAN OR INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR.
INSTALLATION
Generator installation must have been properly completed so it complies with all applicable codes, standards and regula­tions and with the manufacturer's recommendations.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Have engine crankcase properly serviced with recommended oil before starting. Refer to MAINTENANCE and SPECIFI­CATIONS sections for oil servicing procedures and recommendations.
CAUTION: Any attempt to crank or start the engine before you have properly serviced it with the recom­mended oil may result in an engine failure.
FUEL SUPPLY
The engine must have adequate supply of proper fuel to oper­ate. Before starting, check that sufficient fuel is available.
COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
Air inlet and outlet openings in generator compartment must be open and unobstructed for continued proper operation. Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the engine­generator quickly ov erheats which causes it to shutdown and it could damage the generator.
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.
DANGER: 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. 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 sleepiness. IF YOU FEEL ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET MED­ICAL HELP.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
IMPORTANT: Read the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. The owner/operator should become familiar with the vehicle in which the generator is installed. Differences e xist between vehicles. For example, some vehicles may use a transfer switch to isolate dockside pow er from the generator, while other vehicles may use an isolating receptacle . Some vehicles ma y be equipped with a DC converter which allows the generator to power certain DC lighting and other DC loads.
To start the generator from either the generator control panel or from the optional Remote Panel, proceed as follows:
1.Turn OFF electrical loads, using whatev er means provided in your vehicle (such as a main line circuit breaker or tr ans­fer switch).
NOTE: If star ting from the generator panel, turn OFF loads by setting the generator’s main circuit breaker to “OFF” or “OPEN”. If starting from a Remote Panel, turn OFF loads using whatever means is pro vided 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 Primer switch and hold it for about 30 seconds to prime fuel system. However , if the engine is warm, skip Step
2.

3.Hold the engine Start/Stop Switch at START to crank engine. Release the switch when the engine starts.
CAUTION: If the engine does not start after it has been cranking for 15 seconds, release the start/stop switch and try again. Holding the switch for longer than 15 seconds can damage the starter motor.
4.Let the engine run at no-load for a fe w min utes to stabiliz e and warm up.
5.Tur n ON electrical loads, using whatever means provided (such as a main circuit breaker or transfer switch).
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
1.Tur n OFF all electrical loads, using whatever means pro­vided (such as a main circuit breaker or transfer switch).
2.Let unit run a few minutes to stabilize temperature.
3.Hold the Start/Stop switch in its STOP position until engine comes to a complete stop.
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.
LET ENGINE STABILIZE
The generator supplies correct rated voltage only at proper governed speed. Some electrical appliances may be extremely sensitive to voltage. Incorrect voltages can damage those 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 ON-speed.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
You can read the rated wattage/amperage capacity of your gen­erator on the generator data decal (see “Identification Record” on Page 3).
Applying electrical loads in excess of the unit’s rated capac­ity will cause the engine-generator to automatically shutdown.
T o av oid 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 r ated w attage 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.

Recreational Vehicle Generator
Induction type motors (such as those that run the vehicle’s furnace fan, refrigerator, air conditioner , etc.) need about 2­1/2 time more watts of power for starting than for running (for a fe w 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This section discusses some the the engine protective devices , overload protection and breaking in a new generator.
AUTOMATIC LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN
The engine is equipped with a normally-closed (N.C.) oil pres­sure switch (Figure 4). Engine oil pressure holds the switch open during cranking and operation. Should oil pressure drop below a pre-set lev el, the switch contacts close and the engine automatically shuts down.
HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN
A temperature switch (Figure 4) with normally-open (N.O.) con­tacts is mounted near the oil filter. If engine temperature w ere to exceed about 284°F (140°C), the switch contacts close and the engine shuts down.
Figure 4 — Switches for Engine
Safety Shutdown
FIELD BOOST
The Controller Circuit Board houses a field boost diode and resistor which are part of a “field boost” circuit (Figure 5). During engine cranking only, a positive DC (battery) voltage is delivered through the diode, resistor , brushes and 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 “pick-up” voltage in the stator windings.
Figure 5 — Field Boost Circuit
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
A solid state voltage regulator (Figure 6) controls the gener­ator’s A C output voltage. This regulator supplies an e xcitation 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 Hz, voltage is reg­ulated at 120 volts (voltage-to-frequency ratio is 2-to-1).

Recreational Vehicle Generator
The voltage regulator also incorporates a “voltage surge pro­tection circuit. ” This circuit prev ents troublesome surges in the generator AC output v oltage. V oltage surge is a common cause of damage to electronic equipment.
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 25-hour break in period, follow this procedure:
• Run the unit at varying electrical loads, to help seat engine piston rings properly.
• For the 75-hour operation following the break in period, avoid light electrical loads. Load the generator at 50% (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.
• Check 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.
• After operating the unit for 25 hours, complete the tasks rec­ommended under “25-Hour Check Up.”
25-HOUR CHECK UP
After the 25-hour break-in period, contact an authorized ser­vice facility for the following maintenance. The vehicle o wner is responsible for any charges:
• Change engine crankcase oil and oil filter. Check oil level.
• Inspect cooling and ventilation openings. Check engine carburetor.
• Check engine ignition system.
• Inspect entire electrical system.
• Inspect the engine exhaust system.
OPERATION IN HIGH GRASS OR BRUSH
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE GENERATOR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN HIGH GRASS, WEEDS, BRUSH OR LEAVES. SUCH MATERIALS CAN IGNITE AND BURN FROM THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE GENERATOR EXHAUST BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT DURING OPERATION AND REMAINS HOT FOR A LONG TIME AFTER IT HAS SHUT DOWN.
ATTENTION REQUIRED AFTER SUB-
MERSION
If the recreational vehicle generator has been submerged in water, it must NOT be started or operated. Following any sub­mersion in water, have an authorized Generac Service Facility thoroughly clean and dry the generator.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Never operate the generator set while the vehicle is parked over dry leaves, dry grass or any other combustible substance. The generator’s exhaust system becomes extremely hot and can cause fire if it is too close to combustible materials. The generator’s exhaust system gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. this dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness and even death. never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or enclosed area. Never operate the generator if it has a leaky exhaust system. Close windows in the vicinity of the generator exhaust outlet and take any other steps to prevent exhaust gases from entering rooms or areas occupied by people or animals.
EFFECTS OF MOISTURE AND DIRT
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) will also worsen the problem since it tends to absorb moisture from the air. Salt and moisture, when combined, form a good electrical conductor.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
The “NP” series generator is equipped with a liquefied petro­leum (LP) gas fuel system. LP gas is usually supplied as a liquid in pressure tanks.
“NP” series generators require a “vapor withdrawal” type fuel system. This type of gaseous fuel system uses the vapors forming above the liquid fuel in the storage tank. Air temper­ature around the storage tank must be high enough to sustain adequate fuel vaporization. In colder climates, you ma y need to use an independent heat source to be sure the fuel suffi­ciently vaporizes in the storage tank.
LP gas may consist of propane, butane or a mixture of two gases. Using fresh HD-5 LP is recommended. Fuel should not contain more than 2.5% butane. Propane vaporizes at tem­peratures as low as -20°F (-29°C), but butane returns to its liquid state when the temperature drops below about 32°F (0°C). For that reason, a higher ratio of propane is desired in the gas mixture when temperatures drop below freezing.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
(CUBIC FEET PER HOUR)
The following lists the appro ximate amount of fuel the unit con­sumes at 100% rated load. Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on BTU content of fuel, applied load, ambi­ent conditions, engine condition, etc.
Propane ..............................................47 cubic ft. per hour
ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use a 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 1.5 U.S. quarts (1.4 liters). See MAINTENANCE section for oil level check and filling procedures.

• Cleaning spark plug
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check engine crankcase oil lev el at least ev ery eight hours of operation, or before you use it.
Be sure the generator is as level as possible.
• Remove OIL DIPSTICK (Figure 7) and wipe it dry with clean, lint-free cloth.
• Install and tighten oil dipstick then remove again.
• Oil level should be at the dipstick “FULL” mark. If necessary, add oil to the “FULL” mark only. DO NO T FILL ABO VE THE “FULL” MARK.
• Install and tighten oil dipstick before operating the engine.
NOTE: See “Engine Oil Requirements” on Page 12 for rec­ommended oils.
Figure 7 —Oil Dipstick and Oil Fill Cap
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Change engine oil after the first 25 hours of operation (after the 25-hour break-in period, Page 11). Thereafter , change oil every 50 operating hours. Change oil more frequently if oper­ating consistently under heavy load or at high ambient temperatures. To change oil, proceed as follows:
• Run engine for at least 5 minutes, then shut down.
• With engine still warm, remove oil drain cap from oil drain hose (Figure 8). Drain oil completely into a suitable con­tainer.
Figure 8 — Location of Oil Drain Cap
• When oil has drained, install and tighten oil drain cap.
• Remove oil fill cap and fill crankcase with the recommended oil (see Page 12). The engine crankcase can hold about 1.4 liters. DO NOT FILL ABOVE “FULL” MARK.
• Install and tighten oil dipstick and oil fill cap before operat­ing engine.
CHANGE OIL FILTER
Change engine oil filter after the first 25 hours of operation, every 100 operating hours thereafter.
• Turn oil filter counterclockwise to remove (Figure 9).
• Coat gasket of new filter with engine oil.
• T urn new filter clockwise until its gasket contacts lightly with the filter adapter. Then tighten with an additional 3/4 to one turn by hand.
• Run engine and check for leaks.
NOTE: Check oil level and fill to full mark after checking for leaks. Filter will retain some oil.

ENGINE AIR CLEANER
Clean and re-oil the foam pre-cleaner every three months or every 25 operating hours, whichever comes first. Service more frequently if operating under extremely dusty or dirty con­ditions (Figure 10):
• Remove both screws to loosen cover.
• Remove the COVER, FOAM PRE-CLEANER and PAPER FILTER.
• Remove foam pre-cleaner from cover.
• Wash foam pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water.
• Wrap foam pre-cleaner in a cloth and squeeze dry.
• Saturate foam pre-cleaner in engine oil. Squeeze to remove excess oil (Do not twist foam pre-cleaner).
• Install foam pre-cleaner into cover, followed b y paper filter.
• Install cover, foam pre-cleaner and paper filter.
• Tighten both screws to retain.
Once each year or every 100 hours of operation (whichever comes first), replace the paper filter. The new replacement filter must be a flame retardant type.
Figure 10 — Engine Air Cleaner
CLEAN OR REPLACE AIR FILTER
Remove air cleaner cover; then remove foam pre-cleaner (service if necessary) and remove paper filter.
Clean air filter by tapping it gently on a solid surface. If the filter is too dirty, replace it with a new one. Dispose of the old filter properly.
Clean air cleaner cover then insert pre-cleaner into cover. Next insert new paper filter into cover to hold pre-cleaner in place and assemble all of them to the base of the air cleaner.
CLEAN AIR INTAKE SCREEN
Clean all foreign material from air intake screen (Figure 11) at least once every 100 hours of operation. Clean more often if necessary.
Inspect the area around the generator exhaust muffler peri­odically and remove all grass leaves, dirt, etc.from this area.
Figure 11 — Cleaning Air Intake Screen
ENGINE SPARK PLUG
Clean engine spark plug and set gap to 0.030 inch (0.76mm) every 100 hours of operation (Figure 12). Clean by scraping or wire brushing and washing with commercial solvent. DO NOT BLAST CLEAN SPARK PLUG.
CAUTION: Sparking can occur if wire terminal does not fit firmly on spark plug terminal end. If necessary, reform wire terminal to obtain a tight fit.

SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER
If the generator is not equipped with a spark arrestor exhaust muffler and is to be used on any forest covered, brush cov­ered or grass covered unimproved land, you may have to install a spark arrestor. The spark arrestor must be maintained in effective working order by the vehicle owner/operator.
For assistance in ordering, installing and maintaining spark arrestor exhaust mufflers, contact your nearest authorized service facility.
Exhaust mufflers supplied by Generac are spark arrestor types. Generac exhaust muffler for recreational vehicle gen­erators do not have a spark arrestor screen, but are of the more efficient “toroid” or “swirl” type. To remove carbon and com­bustion deposits from such mufflers, remove the PLUG from the muffler and run engine for about 15 minutes. Shut engine down, let the muffler cool and install the plug.
WARNING: BE SURE TO RE-INSTALL THE PLUG FROM THE MUFFLER TIGHTLY. ENGINE VIBRATION COULD CAUSE A LOOSE PLUG TO FALL OUT. WITHOUT THE PLUG IN PLACE, HOT ENGINE EXHAUST IS DIRECTED OUT THE OPENING. THIS HOT EXHAUST, DEPENDING ON THE INSTALLA­TION, COULD BE DIRECTED TO AREAS NOT ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE EXTREME HEAT SUCH AS WOODEN FLOOR BOARDS OR OTHER FLAMMA­BLE MATERIAL. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Keep your generator set as clean and dry as possible. Dirt and moisture that are permitted to accumulate on electrical windings have an adv erse affect on the insulation resistance of those windings.
Moisture that is allowed to remain in contact with windings will be retained in voids and cracks of the windings. Dirt makes the problem worse, since it tends to hold the moisture into con­tact with the windings. Salt, as from sea air, worsens the problem since it tends to absorb moisture from the air. The combination of salt and moisture makes a good electrical con­ductor.
CAUTION! 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.
BATTERY
All lead-acid storage batteries will discharge when not in use. The generator battery should be inspected as follows:
ONCE WEEKLY
Inspect battery posts and cables for tightness, corrosion. Clean and/or tighten as needed.
Also check battery fluid level, and, if necessary, fill with DIS­TILLED WATER ONLY. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN BATTERY.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
Have battery state of charge and condition checked. This should be done with an automotive type battery hydrometer.
DANGER: 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.
DANGER: BATTERY ELECTROLYTE FLUID IS AN EXTREMELY CAUSTIC SULFURIC ACID SOLUTION THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT PERMIT FLUID TO CONTACT EYES, SKIN, CLOTH­ING, PAINTED SURFACES, ETC. WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND GLOVES WHEN HANDLING A BATTERY. IF YOU SPILL THE FLUID, FLUSH THE AFFECTED AREA IMMEDIATELY WITH CLEAR WATER.
DANGER: 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.

MAJOR SERVICE MANUAL
To obtain a ser vice manual for your generator, order it from your dealer/distributor or contact the factory. Be sure to iden­tify your MODEL NUMBER and SERIAL NUMBER.
DRIVE BELT
The engine drives the generator rotor by means of a pulley and drive belt arrangement. The drive belt and pulleys are war­ranted for the life of the generator. Drive belt tension was properly adjusted before the unit was shipped from the fac­tory . If you suspect that drive belt tension is incorrect, contact an authorized service facility.
EXERCISING THE GENERATOR
Generac recommends that you start and operate the genera­tor at least once every seven days. Let the unit run for at least 30 minutes to “exercise” the engine.
OUT OF SERVICE PROTECTION
If you cannot exercise the generator every seven days and it is to be out of service longer than 30 days, prepare the gen­erator for storage as follows:
• Start the engine and let it warm up.
• Close the fuel shutoff valve in the fuel supply line and let the engine “run out of fuel.”
• While the engine is still warm from running, drain the oil com­pletely. Refill crankcase with SAE 10W30 oil having API classification “For Service SF.”
• Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity and clas­sification of the oil in the crankcase.
• Remove spark plug and pour about two or three table­spoons of clean, fresh engine oil into spark plug threaded opening. Crank engine sev eral times to distribute oil, then install and tighten spark plug.
• Remove the battery and store in a cool, dry room on a wooden board. Nev er store the battery on concrete or earth floors.
• Clean and wipe the entire generator.
RETURN THE UNIT TO SERVICE
AFTER STORAGE
To return the unit to service after storage, proceed as follows:
• Check tag on engine for oil viscosity and classification. Verify that the correct recommended oil is used in engine. If necessary, drain and refill with proper oil.
• Check battery. Fill all cells to the proper level with distilled water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN THE BATTERY. Recharge battery to 100% state of charge, or, if defective, replace the battery.
• T urn OFF all electrical loads, add fuel if necessary, then start the engine.
• Let the engine warm up.
• Apply electrical loads to at least 50% of the unit’s rated wattage capacity.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board ("CARB") and Generac Corporation are pleased to explain the Emission Control System War­ranty on your new recreational vehicle generator engine. In California, new recreational vehicle generator must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Generac Corporation will warrant the emission control system on your recreational vehicle generator for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your recreational vehicle generator engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Also included may be the compression release system and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Generac Corporation will repair your recreational vehicle generator engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Emissions control systems on 1995 and later model year recreational vehicle generator are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by Generac Corporation.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the recreational vehicle generator engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owners manual. Generac Corporation recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your recreational vehicle generator engine, but Generac Corporation will not deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to provide written evidence of the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the recreational vehicle generator engine owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac Corporation may deny you warranty coverage if your recreational vehicle generator engine or a part thereof has failed due to abuse, neglect , improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your recreational vehicle generator engine to a Generac Corporation Authorized Service Outlet as soon as a problem exists. 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 a Generac Corporation Authorized Service Outlet or by contacting Gen­erac Corporation at:
GENERAC CORPORATION PH: (414) 544-4811
P.O. BOX 8 FAX: (414) 544-0179
WAUKESHA, WI 53187
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 Corporation pursuant to California law. See also the Generac Corpora­tion Limited Warranties for Generac Corporation which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet and also is provided to you by Generac Corporation. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. To the extent that there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Corporation Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in any circumstances in which the Generac Corporation Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS War­ranty and the Generac Corporation Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can only be performed by a Generac Corporation Authorized Service Outlet. At the time of requesting war­ranty service, evidence must be presented of the date of the sale to the original purchaser. The purchaser shall pay any charges for making service calls and/or for transporting the products to and from the place where the inspection and/or warranty work is performed. The purchaser shall be responsible for any damage or loss incurred in connection with the transportation of any engine or any part(s) thereof submitted for inspection and/or warranty work.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, YOU SHOULD CONTACT GEN­ERAC CORPORATION AT 1-800-222-3136
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty ("ECS Warranty") for 1995 and Later Model Year recreational vehicle generator:
A.Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year recreational vehicle generator. The ECS Warranty Period
("ECS Warranty Period") shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser and shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
B. General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac Corporation warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or
equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its recreational vehicle generator is:
1. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority, and
2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, will cause a warranted 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 which 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 Corporation according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
2. Any warranted, emissions-related part which 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 any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner's Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to 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 Corporation 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 Corporation Authorized Service Outlet.
5. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered by the ECS War­ranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a Generac Corporation Authorized Service Outlet.
6. Generac Corporation 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 Corporation 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 owner. Such use shall not reduce Gen­erac Corporation ECS warranty obligations.
9. Unapproved add-on modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac Corporation engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Generac Corporation shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac Corporation engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.

Generac hereby disclaims any and all implied warranties, including but not limited to those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose to the extent permitted by law. The dur ation of any implied warranties which cannot be disclaimed is limited to the time period (one year) as specified in the express warranty. Liability for consequential, inci­dental or special damages under any and all warranties is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
