EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
This generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible
electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads.
This manual contains information for a generator that
operates 120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60Hz
devices that require up to 10,000 watts (10.0 kW) of
power that pull up to 83.3 Amps at 120 Volts or
41.6 Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION! Do not exceed the generators
wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated
watts of all devices you are connecting to
generator receptacles at one time. This total
should not be greater than 10,000 watts for this
generator. See Dont Overload the Generator
on page 11.
Every effort has been expended to make sure that the
information in this manual is both accurate and
current. However, Generac reserves the right to
change, alter or otherwise improve the product at any
time without prior notice.
DANGER! Do not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase the risk of personal
injury or damage to equipment. The generator
supplies correctly rated frequency and voltage
only when running at proper governed speed.
Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage
some connected electrical loads. Operating at
excessively low speeds imposes a heavy load
and, when adequate engine power is not
available, may shorten engine life.
SAFETY RULES

intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a
procedure or method not specifically recommended by
the manufacturer, first make sure that such a
procedure or method will not render this equipment
unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator set. Know its applications, its
limitations, and any hazards involved.
DANGER! You must isolate the generator
from the electric utility by opening the electrical
systems main circuit breaker or main switch if
this unit is used for backup power. Failure to
isolate the generator from the power utility
may result in injury or death to electric
utility workers and damage to the
generator.
DANGER! Generator exhaust gases
contain DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
Carbon monoxide, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations can cause unconsciousness or
death. Operate this equipment outdoors where
adequate ventilation is available.
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING:
Generac Portable Products SE10000 Generator
3
The generator produces a very powerful voltage that
can cause serious injury or death by electrocution.
Never touch bare wires or receptacles. Never permit
a child or any unqualified person to operate the
generator.
Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device
while standing in water, while barefoot or while
hands or feet are wet.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any
damp or highly conductive area (such as metal
decking or steel work).
Never use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged
electrical cords with the generator.
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors
are EXPLOSIVE. Never allow smoking, open
flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while
handling gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot
engine. Comply with all laws regulating storage and
handling of gasoline.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow room for fuel
expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can overflow
onto a hot engine and cause a FIRE or an
EXPLOSION.
Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where
gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark
or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer). FIRE or an EXPLOSION may result.
Do not insert any object through cooling slots of the
engine. You could damage the unit or injure
yourself.
The unit requires an adequate flow of cooling air for
its continued proper operation. Never operate the
unit inside any room or enclosure where the free
flow of cooling air into and out of the unit might be
obstructed. Allow at least 3 feet of clearance on
all sides of generator or you could damage the unit.
Never operate the generator:
in rain; in any enclosed compartment; if connected
electrical devices overheat; if electrical output is
lost; if engine or generator sparks; if flame or smoke
is observed while unit is running; if unit vibrates
excessively.
GROUNDING THE
GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the generator
be properly connected to approved earth ground.
Local electrical codes may also require proper
grounding of the unit. For this purpose, a grounding
wing nut (Figure 1) is provided on the cradle.
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing
nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding
rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against
electrical shock. However, local codes may vary
widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding
requirements in your area. Be sure to keep the ground
wire attached while you connect the electrode.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent
electrical shock if ground fault conditions exists in the
generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper
grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded devices.

BEFORE STARTING THE
GENERATOR
Add Engine Oil
For your convenience, an oil filler spout has been
supplied with your generator. This cap fits over a
standard bottle of oil and allows for easy access to the
oil fill.
See engine owners manual for oil recommendations
and fill instructions.
Add Gasoline
DANGER! NEVER fill fuel tank indoors.
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when
filling the fuel tank.
DANGER! Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always
leave room for expansion.
Use regular UNLEADED gasoline in the generator.
DO NOT use premium gasoline. DO NOT mix oil
with gasoline. DO NOT overfill the gas tank.
Clean area around fuel fill cap; remove cap.
Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
Be careful not to overfill. Allow 1/2" of tank space for
fuel expansion (Figure 4).
Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcoholblended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See
Storage on page 12. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
TO START THE ENGINE
WARNING! Never start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged into the panel
receptacles and turned on. You could damage
both the generator and the electrical devices.
Unplug all electrical loads from units receptacles
before starting the engine.
Make sure the unit is in a level position.
Open the fuel shutoff valve (Figure 5).
Pull the choke knob to close. If the engine is warm,
or the ambient temperature is high, pull the choke
knob halfway, or keep it fully open (Figure 6).

DONT OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to the generator and to
connected electrical devices. Observe the following to
prevent overloading the unit:
Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to
be connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generators wattage capacity.
The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or
decal affixed to the device.
If wattage is not given, multiply volts times ampere
rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This power surge lasts
only seconds when starting such motors. Make sure
to allow for this high starting wattage when selecting
electrical devices to connect to your generator:
1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other
connected loads.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure
that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on
a timely basis; that all discrepancies are corrected;
and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored.
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
Engine Maintenance
See your engine owners manual for instructions.
Generator Maintenance
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit
clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean
dry environment where it will not be exposed to
excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Make sure the cooling air slots in the generator do not
become clogged with leaves or other foreign material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter the engine fuel system
and cause problems. In addition, if water enters the
generator through the cooling air slots, some water
will be retained in the voids and cracks of the rotor
and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup
on the generator internal windings will eventually
decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
To Clean the Generator
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
Soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on
dirt or oil.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris.
Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be
used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and
opening on generator. These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
STORAGE
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If
this cannot be done and you must store the unit for
more than 30 days, use the following guidelines to
prepare it for storage.
Generator Storage
Clean the generator as outlined in To Clean the
Generator.
Check that the cooling air slots and openings on the
generator are open and unobstructed.
Remove the negative battery cable from the battery
to prevent the battery from being depleted.
DANGER! The battery is water based. If you
are storing the generator in an area that will go
below freezing, you must remove the battery
and store it separately in an area that will not
freeze. If you allow the battery to freeze, the
water in it will expand and crack open the
battery spilling the contents.
Prepare the engine in accordance with the storage
instructions in the engine owner manual.
Let the unit completely cool for at least 5 minutes
before placing any cover over the unit.
Store the unit in a clean dry place.

NOTES
LIMITED WARRANTY
FOR OVERHEAD VALVE V-TWIN ENGINE-DRIVEN PORTABLE GENERATORS
GENERAC PORTABLE PRODUCTS (hereafter referred to as the COMPANY) warrants to the original purchaser
that all components originally equipped with the generator, excluding the engine, for its portable generator will be
free from defects in materials or workmanship for the items and period set forth below from the date of original
purchase. This warranty is not transferable and applies only to portable generators driven by an overhead valve
V-Twin engine.
Consumer* Commercial*
Alternator 2 years (2nd year parts only) 1 year
Engine Warranted solely by the engine manufacturer
With the exception of European Community Countries, all units bound for export shall be warranted for
One (1) Year in Consumer applications, and 90 days in Commercial applications as defined below.
*NOTE: For the purpose of this warranty "consumer use" means personal residential household use by
original purchaser. This warranty does not apply to units used for Prime Power in place of utility.
"Commercial Use" means all other uses, including rental, construction, commercial and income
producing purposes. Once a generator has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered
a commercial use generator for the purposes of this warranty.
During said warranty period, the COMPANY will, at is option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination
by the COMPANY, is found to be defective under normal use and service**. Starting batteries are not warranted
by the COMPANY. All transportation costs under warranty, including return to the factory if necessary, are to be
borne by the purchaser and prepaid by the purchaser. This warranty does not cover normal maintenance and
service and does not apply to a generator set, alternator, or parts which have been subjected to improper or
unauthorized installation or alteration, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper
maintenance, repair or storage so as, in the COMPANYs judgement, to adversely affect its performance and
reliability.
**NORMAL WEAR: As with all mechanical devices, the generator needs periodic parts service and
replacement to perform well. This warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life
of a part or generator.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY. THE COMPANY 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
DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IS LIMITED TO
THE TIME PERIOD AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. LIABILITY FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES
IS EXCLUDED. THE COMPANY ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SUCH AS THE LOSS OF TIME OR THE USE OF THE POWER
EQUIPMENT, OR ANY COMMERCIAL LOSS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT: AND
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
For service, see your nearest COMPANY authorized warranty service facility or call 1-877-544-0982. Warranty
service can be performed only by a COMPANY authorized service facility. This warranty will not apply to service
at any other facility. At the time of requesting warranty service, evidence of original purchase date must be
presented.
