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.
•If the unit is equipped with a frame grounding stud, follow any local, state, and National Electrical
Code (NEC) guidelines when connecting.
•DO NOT operate the unit on a combustible surface.
•DO NOT operate a unit while tired, distracted, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•Keep all body parts, clothing and other loose items away from moving parts.
•DO NOT fill fuel tank near an open flame, while smoking, or while engine is running. DO NOT fill tank
in an enclosed area with poor ventilation.
•DO NOT operate with the fuel tank cap loose or missing.
•Shut the engine down if any of the following conditions exist during operation:

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:
