Verify the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

• Verify the trailer hitch and the coupling are

compatible. Make sure the coupling is securely fastened to the vehicle.

• DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect

the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.

• Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under

the tongue.

• Before towing the trailer, verify 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.

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 LLC.

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 LLC.

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:

To enter the navigation menu, use the following procedure:

• Warnings are non-critical alarm conditions and do

not affect the operation of the unit. They serve to draw attention to an undesirable condition. By default, warning alarms are self-resetting when the fault condition is removed.

• Electrical trips stop the generator in a controlled

manner. On initiation of the electrical trip condition, the controller de-energizes all the outputs, including the lights, to remove the load from the generator. Once this has occurred, the controller starts the cooling timer and allows the engine to cool off-load before shutting down the engine.

• Shutdown alarms stop the generator immediately.

On initiation of the shutdown condition, the controller de-energizes all the outputs, including the lights, to remove the load from the generator. Once this has occurred, the controller shuts the unit down immediately to prevent further damage.

• DTC faults are displayed by the controller.

Wet Stacking

The unit is powered by a diesel engine. Diesel engines are subject to “wet stacking” if lightly loaded. Wet stacking occurs when an engine is run at less than 30% of its full load capacity, causing unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system. Wet stacking can be detected by continuous black exhaust when the unit is under a constant load. It can also cause fouling of injectors and buildup on engine valves. Diesel engines operate properly when applied loads are between 30% and 100% capacity. Appropriate generator sizing is determined by the anticipated load.

If the unit is in a wet stack condition, load the unit heavily for five hours or until the exhaust is clear.

Customer Convenience Outlets

See Figure 3-9. The unit is equipped with two convenience outlets for powering accessories or tools from the generator. Power is supplied to the outlets any time the engine is running and the 240VAC outlet breaker is switched ON (I). Each outlet has an individual circuit breaker, located on the control box. See Control Panel.

Shutting Down the Unit

Check with personnel using power supplied by the unit and let them know the power is going to be turned off. Verify the power shutdown will not create any hazards by accidentally turning off equipment that needs to remain running (pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).

1. Remove all loads from the outlets.

2. Switch the individual circuit breakers for each light OFF (O).

3. Switch the main circuit breaker OFF (O).

4. Turn the Engine Start switch OFF (O).

NOTE: Disconnect the battery if the unit is to be stored for an extended period. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for additional extended storage procedures.

Shutting Down the Unit (with PowerZone Controller, If Equipped)
