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 generator's

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 "Don't Overload the Generato¢' 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 riskof personal

injuryor 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

This generator set was designed and manufactured for specific applications. Do not attempt to modify the

unit or use it for any application it was not designed for. If you have any questions about your generator's application, ask your dealer or consult the factory.

The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that

reason, warnings in the manual and warnings on tags or decals affixed to the unit are not all-inclusive. If you

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 system's 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

GeneracPortableProductsSE10000Generator

• 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 spillinggasoline 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.

Grounding Wing Nut

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.

1/2" Air Space Tank

• 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 alcohol-

blended 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.

GeneracPortableProductsSE10000Generator

DON'T 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 generator's 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 alt 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 owner's 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 itwill 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.

Other Storage Tips

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another,

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 COMPANY's 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.
