Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating, or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this manual and with the unit. The generator can operate safely, efficiently, and reli­ably 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 every possible cir cumstance that might involve a hazard. The warn­ings 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 that Generac does not specifically recom­mend, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You also must make sure the procedure, work method, or operating technique that you choose does not render the generator unsafe.
Despite the safe design of this generator, operating this equipment imprudently, neglect­ing its maintenance, or being careless can cause possible injury or death. Permit only responsi­ble and capable persons to operate and main­tain this equipment.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during operation. Exercise care near running generators.
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the machine safe before attempting to work on the generator.
GENERAL HAZARDS
• For safety reasons, Generac recommends that the installation, initial startup, and mainte­nance of this equipment be performed by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox­ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Thus, the exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict com­pliance with applicable codes and standards. Following installation, you must do nothing that might render the system unsafe or in noncompli­ance with such codes and standards. The genera­tor compartment must be completely vapor-sealed from the 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.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti­lating air is critical to correct generator operation and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel vapors from the generator compartment. Without sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which seriously damages the generator. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can also seriously affect the safe operation of the generator.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never work on the equipment when you are physically or mentally fatigued.
• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact your nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer imme­diately for parts needing repair or replacement.
• Before performing any maintenance on the genera­tor, disconnect its battery cables to prevent acci­dental startup. First, disconnect the cable from the battery post, indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG, or (–). Reconnect this cable last.
• Never use the generator, or any of its parts, as a step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, resulting in dangerous operating conditions due to leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leak­age, etc.
• Never insert any tool or other object through open­ings in the generator interior, even if the unit is not running. You might seriously injure yourself or damage the equipment.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• The generator covered by this manual produces dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter­minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running. Before operating the generator, ensure all appro­priate covers, guards, and barriers are in place . If you must work around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
• During installation onto the vehicle, have the gen­erator properly grounded (bonded), 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 NOT 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 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper wire minimum.
• In case of an accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconduct­ing implement, such as, a dry rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip­ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity, resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving com­ponents, causing, injury.
FIRE HAZARDS
• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained properly. Installation must always comply with NFPA 70 (latest edition), “National Electrical Code”, Article 551, and NFPA 1192 (lat­est edition), “Standard for Recreational Vehicles”, along with all applicable codes, standards, laws, and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state, and federal electrical and building codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed in accor­dance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. After proper installation, do nothing that might alter the installation and render the unit in noncompliance with the aforemen­tioned codes, standards, laws, and regulations.

QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
1.2 GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac­tured for supplying electrical power to recreational vehicles. You should neither modify the generator nor 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.
For fire safety, the generator must have been properly installed in compliance with NFPA 70 (latest edition), “National Electrical Code”, Article 551, and NFPA 1192 (latest edition), “Standard for Recreational Vehicles”. 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 noncom­pliance with such codes, standards, and instruc­tions.
You can use this generator to supply electrical power for operating 230-volt, single-phase, 50-Hertz, AC electrical loads. These loads can require up to 6,500 watts (6.5 kW) of power, but cannot exceed 28.2 AC amps at 230 volts.
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 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.
1.3 SAFETY
Before attempting to use the generator set, carefully read the “Safety Rules” section of this manual. Comply strictly with these rules to prevent accidents and damage to equipment and/or property. We sug­gest copying and posting the “Safety Rules” in poten­tial hazard areas of the vehicle. Stress safety to all operators and potential operators of this equipment.
1.4 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, two-wire connection system. Note, however, that the neutral is grounded.
Figure 1.1 – Connections for 230 Volts Only
1.5 SPECIFICATIONS
1.5.1 FUEL REQUIREMENTS
The generator is equipped with a diesel fuel system. Use clean, fresh No. 1D or No. 2D diesel fuel with minimum Cetane number of 40. The diesel fuel must also conform to American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications. Never use any dirty or contaminated fuel. When adding fuel, DO NOT overfill the tank. Allow room at the top of the tank for fuel expansion. Depending on the installation, the generator may have either a separate fuel tank or “share” the vehicle’s engine fuel tank.
NOTE:
Some installations using a “shared” fuel tank may have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter than the vehicle’s engine pickup tube. Such an arrangement causes the generator engine to “run out of fuel”, while adequate fuel for the vehicle engine remains in the tank.
Also, appropriate care should be taken in applica­tions where extremely low ambient temperatures are possible, to ensure the temperature of the diesel fuel is not allowed to fall below levels where “gelling” could occur.

QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
1.5.2 FUEL CONSUMPTION (GAL/HR)
1.5.3 ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use a high-quality detergent oil with American Petroleum Institute (API) classification “For Service CC.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. Use oil having the following SAE vis­cosity rating, based on the ambient temperature range anticipated before the next oil change:
* - in units from the factory
Crankcase and oil filter capacity is approximately 3.5 L or 3.7 U.S. quarts. Do NOT use special additives. See Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (Page 12) for oil level check­ing and changing procedures.
1.5.4 COOLANT
Use a 50:50 mixture that is half low silicate, ethylene glycol base antifreeze and half soft water. Use only soft water and only low silicate antifreeze. If desired, you may add a high-quality rust inhibitor to the rec­ommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant, always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.
Do not remove the radiator pressure cap while the engine is hot; otherwise, serious burns from boiling liquid or steam could result.
Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous. Do not use your mouth to siphon coolant from the radiator, recovery bottle, or any container. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling. Never store used antifreeze in an open contain­er because animals are attracted to the smell and taste of antifreeze, even though it is poiso­nous to them.
Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with ethylene glycol base antifreeze; or else, chromium hydroxide (“green slime”) will form and cause overheating. Engines that have been operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor must be chemically cleaned before adding eth­ylene glycol base antifreeze. Using any high-sil­icate antifreeze boosters or additives will also cause overheating. We also recommend that you DO NOT use any soluble oil inhibitor for this equipment.

Section 2 – Operation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
2.1 GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
The following features are mounted on the generator control panel (Figure 2.1):
Figure 2.1 – Generator Control Panel
2.1.1 HOURMETER
This indicates the length of time the engine/generator has operated, in hours and tenths of hours. Use the hourmeter to ensure that the periodic mainte­nance tasks for your generator are completed on a timely basis.
2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH
To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch’s center position is the RUN position.
2.1.3 FUSE
The 14-amp fuse protects the engine’s DC control cir­cuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine can­not be cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an identical replacement (i.e., SFE-14).
If a fuse element melts, you should find the cause of the overload before replacing the fuse.
2.1.4 LINE BREAKER
The line (i.e., main) breaker protects the generator’s AC output circuit against overload and provides a method of turning OFF the generator’s 230-volt AC output to the vehicle circuits. The QUIETPACT™ 65D has two 30-amp breakers.
NOTE:
Refer to Section 1.4, “Generator AC Connection System,” (Page 5). Individual installations will dif­fer. If an overload occurs, the dual breakers will open the ungrounded (i.e., hot) stator leads (11 and 44 in Figure 1.1, Page 5).
2.1.5 PREHEAT SWITCH
The diesel engine is equipped with glow plugs, one for each cylinder. When you press the preheat switch, the glow plugs heat the engine combustion chamber, allowing for quicker starts when the engine is cold. Pressing the preheat switch also operates the fuel pump.
2.2 OPTIONAL REMOTE START/STOP
This generator is equipped with a plug-in connector that can be interfaced with an optional remote panel provided inside the vehicle. This option allows you to start and stop the generator conveniently from with­in the vehicle. Refer to Part II - Installation Instructions, Section 2.8, for details on the remote start/stop option.
2.3 BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTE:
Instructions and information in this manual assume the generator has been properly installed, connected, serviced, tested and adjusted by a qualified installation technician or installation contractor.
2.3.1 INSTALLATION
Generator installation must have been properly com­pleted so that it complies with all applicable codes, standards, and regulations and with the manufactur­er's recommendations.

Section 2 – Operation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
2.3.2 ENGINE LUBRICATION
Before starting the engine, have the engine crankcase properly serviced with the recommended oil. Refer to Section 1.5.3 (Page 6) and Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (Page
12) for oil servicing procedures and recommenda­tions.
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before you have properly serviced it with the recom­mended oil may result in an engine failure.
2.3.3 FUEL SUPPLY
The engine must have an adequate supply of proper fuel to operate. Before starting it, check that sufficient fuel is available.
NOTE:
Depending on the installation, the generator may have either a separate fuel tank or “share” the vehicle’s engine fuel tank.
Some installations using a “shared” fuel tank may have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter than the vehicle’s engine pickup tube. Such an arrangement causes the generator engine to “run out of fuel”, while adequate fuel for the vehicle engine remains in the tank.
2.3.4 COOLANT LEVEL
Check the engine coolant level prior to initial use and at recommended intervals. Refer to Section 1.5.4, “Coolant” (Page 6), and Section 3.8, “Engine Coolant” (Page 14), for procedures and recommendations.
2.3.5 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator com­partment must be open and unobstructed for con­tinued proper operation. Without sufficient cooling and ventilating airflow, the engine/generator may overheat, causing engine shutdown and damage to the generator.
2.3.6 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.
The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concen­trations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. 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 (h) sleepiness. IF YOU FEEL ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP.
2.4 STARTING THE GENERATOR
NOTE:
Read the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. The owner/operator should become familiar with the vehicle in which this generator is installed. Differences exist between vehicles. For example, some vehicles may use a transfer switch to isolate dockside power from the generator, while other vehicles may use an isolating receptacle. Some vehicles may 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 the means pro-
vided in your vehicle (such as, a main-line circuit breaker or transfer switch).
NOTE:
If starting from the generator control panel, turn OFF loads by setting the generator’s main-line breaker to the OFF (or open) position. If starting from a remote panel, turn OFF loads using the means provided 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 the engine is cold, press the Preheat switch for
a maximum of 15 to 30 seconds.
3. While pressing the Preheat switch to crank the
engine, hold the engine Start/Stop switch in the START position. When the engine starts, release the switches.
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 9
Section 2 – Operation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
If the engine does not start after it has been cranking for 15 seconds, release the Start/Stop switch, wait 15 seconds, 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 few minutes to stabilize and warm up.
5. Turn ON electrical loads, using the means provided in your vehicle (such as, a main-line cir­cuit breaker or transfer switch).
2.5 STOPPING THE GENERATOR
1. Turn OFF all electrical loads, using the means provided in your vehicle (such as, a main-line cir­cuit breaker or transfer switch).
2. Let the generator run at no-load for a few minutes, to stabilize internal engine generator temperatures.
Do not stop the engine/generator immediately after running under load. This can overheat and damage the engine and/or generator.
3. Press and hold the Start/Stop switch in the STOP position, until the engine shuts off.
2.6 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.
2.6.1 LETTING THE ENGINE STABILIZE
The generator supplies correctly rated voltage only at the proper governed speed. Some electrical appli­ances may be extremely sensitive to voltage. Incorrect voltages can damage such appliances.
Electrical loads applied on the engine 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 at no­load.
2.6.2 DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
You can read the rated wattage/amperage capacity of your generator on the generator data decal located below the user control panel.
Applying electrical loads in excess of the unit’s rated capacity may trip the line breaker or cause the engine/generator to shut down.
To avoid 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 rated wattage 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.
• Induction-type motors (such as, those that run the vehicle’s furnace fan, refrigerator, air conditioner, etc.) need about 2-1/2 time more watts of power for starting than for running (for a few seconds during motor starting). Be sure to allow for this when con­necting electrical loads to the generator. First, cal­culate 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.
• For the first two or three hours of operation, do not apply electrical loads over 75 percent of the unit’s rating.
2.7 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
The engine has several safety switches that cause it to automatically shut down, under the following conditions: low oil pressure, high coolant tempera­ture, and engine overspeed. See Figure 2.2 (Page 10) for the location of these devices. If automatic shut­down does occur, refer to “Troubleshooting Guide”, on page 37.
2.7.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
This switch is normally closed (N.C.) but is held open by engine oil pressure during engine running. Should operating oil pressure drop below approximately 10 psi, the switch contacts close, and the engine shuts down automatically.
2.7.2 HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH
This normally-open (N.O.) thermostatic switch has a sensing tip that is immersed in captive coolant. Should the coolant temperature exceed approximate­ly 115° C (240° F), the switch contacts close, and the engine shuts down automatically.
10 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.
Section 2 – Operation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
Figure 2.2 – Engine Protective Devices
2.7.3 OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN
A DC control circuit board senses engine speed from the frequency of the alternator AC output. Should the alternator output frequency exceed approximately 60 Hertz (3,600 alternator rpm), circuit board action initiates an automatic engine shutdown.
2.7.4 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
A solid-state voltage regulator (Figure 2.3) controls the generator’s AC output voltage. This regulator sup­plies an excitation 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 50 Hertz, voltage is regulated at 230 volts.
Figure 2.3 – Solid-state Voltage Regulator
The voltage regulator also incorporates a “voltage surge protection circuit.” This circuit prevents trou­blesome surges in the generator AC output voltage. Voltage surge is a common cause of damage to elec­tronic equipment.
2.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
2.8.1 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 oil consumption and maxi­mize engine performance. During this 25-hour break­in period, observe the following rules:
• Run the unit at varying electrical loads to help seat the engine piston rings properly.
• After operating the unit for 25 hours, complete the tasks recommended under Section 2.8.2 (Page
11).
• For the next 75 hours of operation, following the break-in period, avoid light electrical loads. Load the generator at 50 percent (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 the engine oil level frequently. Add oil if needed. It is normal for the generator engine to consume more oil than normally, until the piston rings have properly seated.
2.8.2 25-HOUR CHECK-UP
After the 25-hour break-in period, contact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer for the following mainte­nance, for which the vehicle owner is responsible for all charges:
• Change the engine crankcase oil and oil filter.
• Check all fluid levels (engine coolant, fuel, battery electrolyte fluid).
• Visually inspect the unit for any leaks or loose hardware.
• Inspect the exhaust tailpipe for any leaks or damage.
2.8.3 ATTENTION REQUIRED AFTER SUBMERSION
If the recreational vehicle generator has been sub­merged in water, it MUST NOT be started and oper­ated. Following any submersion in water, have a Generac Authorized Service Dealer thoroughly clean and dry the generator.
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 11
Section 3 – Maintenance
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
2.8.4 OPERATION IN HIGH GRASS OR BRUSH
Never operate the generator while the vehicle is parked over high grass, weeds, brush, leaves, or other combustible substance. Such materials can ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system. The generator exhaust system becomes extremely hot during operation and remains hot for a long time after it has shut down.
2.8.5 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 reduces insu­lation resistance and will eventually cause problems. Dirt will make the problem worse, since it 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.
3.1 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
After the 25-hour break-in period, check the engine crankcase oil level every eight hours of operation, or at least once daily, before using the generator. For oil capacities and requirements, see “Engine Oil Requirements,” Section 1.5.3 (Page 6). To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.1):
1. Be sure the generator is as leveled as possible.
2. Remove the dipstick, and wipe it dry with a clean,
lint-free cloth.
3. Install the dipstick, and fully seat the T-handle;
then, remove it again. The oil level should be at the dipstick “Full” mark.
4. If necessary, remove the oil fill plug and slowly
add oil until it reaches the dipstick “FULL” mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.
Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “ADD” mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine.
5. Install the oil-fill plug and the dipstick before
operating the engine.
Figure 3.1 – Oil Maintenance Features
3.2 CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND/OR OIL FILTER
Change the engine oil and oil filter after the first 25 hours of operation (after the 25-hour break-in peri­od, see Section 2.8.1, Page 10). See the “Service Schedule,” Section 3.13 (Page 16), for subsequent oil and filter changes. Change the oil more frequently, if operating consistently under heavy load or at high ambient temperatures.
To change the oil and/or oil filter, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.1):
1. Run the engine until it is thoroughly warmed up
(for at least five minutes) then shut OFF the engine.
2. Immediately after the engine shuts OFF, remove
the front service door, located beneath the unit, by retracting the two latches and pivoting the door downward.
3. Remove the air filter (see Section 3.3).
4. Remove the oil-drain plug and drain the oil into a
suitable container. Removing the oil-fill plug will allow the crankcase to drain faster.
5. After the oil has drained, replace the oil-drain
plug. Go to step 9 if changing oil only.
6. With the oil drained, remove the old oil filter by
turning it counterclockwise.
7. Apply a light coating of clean engine oil to the gas-
ket of the new filter.
8. Screw the new filter on by hand, until its gasket
lightly contacts the oil filter adapter. Then, tight­en the filter an additional 3/4 to one turn.

9. Remove the dipstick, and wipe it dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. This will be used later to check the oil level.
10. Remove the oil-fill plug, and slowly add the prop­er type and amount of recommended oil (see Section 1.5.3, Page 6). Periodically use the dip­stick to check the oil level and continue to fill the crankcase until the oil reaches the dipstick “FULL” mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.
11. Install the oil-fill plug and the dipstick.
12. Reinstall the air filter.
13. Reattach the front service door; make sure the latches are fully engaged.
14. Start the engine, and check for leaks.
NOTE:
Check the oil level and fill to the “FULL” mark, after checking for leaks. The filter will retain some oil.
3.3 SERVICING THE ENGINE
AIR FILTER
To access the engine air filter (Figure 3.2, Page 13), remove the front service door, located beneath the unit, by retracting the two latches and pivoting the door downward. Loosen the hose clamp at the base of the air filter and remove the filter. Place the hose clamp on the new filter and install it, making sure it is positioned properly before reattaching the service door. Make sure the service door latches are fully engaged.
Figure 3.2 – Engine Air Filter
See the “Service Schedule,” Section 3.13 (Page 16), for recommended air cleaner maintenance.
3.4 SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER
The exhaust muffler supplied with the QUIETPACT™ 65D is a spark arrestor type. Generac exhaust muf­flers 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 the muffler, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.3):
1. Place the unit above a noncombustable surface, and ensure that the generator exhaust piping is cool.
2. Remove the two screws holding the spark arrestor access plate to the rear floor pan.
3. Remove the spark arrestor access plate and gasket.
4. Remove the hex pipe cap from the end of the spark arrestor cleanout pipe.
5. Thread on a 3/8” NPT pipe coupling and pipe nipple to extend the cleanout pipe at least 10 inches (250 mm) below the rear floor pan; addi­tional piping may be added to direct the muffler exhaust away from the cooling air discharge flow beneath the unit.
6. Start and run the engine for approximately 15 minutes.
7. Shut down the engine, and allow the piping to cool.
8. Remove the 3/8” NPT coupling and piping.
9. Apply a graphite-base, anti-seize compound to the cleanout pipe threads.
10. Reinstall the hex pipe cap, spark arrestor access plate, gasket, and two screws.
The exhaust system of this product gets extreme­ly hot and remains hot after shutdown. High grass, weeds, brush, leaves, etc., must remain clear of the exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system.
Failure to provide and maintain a spark arrestor may be in violation of the law. If this generator is used on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, the vehicle owner or operator must maintain the spark arrestor in good condition. In the state of California, the preceding is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
Be sure to reinstall the hex pipe cap tightly to the spark arrestor cleanout pipe. Vibration could cause a loose cap to fall out, resulting in hot engine exhaust being drawn through the centrifugal cool­ing fan and out beneath the unit. This could result in damage to the generator or in discharge of hot exhaust sparks beneath the unit.

3.5 CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Keep your generator as clean and as dry as possible. Dirt and moisture that accumulate on internal gener­ator windings have adversely affect insulation resis­tance.
Periodically, clean the generator’s exterior surfaces. A soft brush may be used to loosen caked-on dirt. You can use a vacuum system or dry, low-pressure air to remove any accumulations of dirt. The generator is housed inside an all-weather enclosure; clean the enclosure with a soft, damp cloth or with sponge and water.
Once each year, have the generator cleaned and inspected by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer. Service technicians will use dry, low-pressure air to clean internal windings. Parts inside the control con­sole should be cleaned and inspected at this time, as well.
Finally, have the insulation resistance of stator and rotor windings checked. If insulation resistances are excessively low, the generator may require drying.
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.
3.6 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
All lead-acid batteries will discharge when not in use. The generator battery should be inspected per the “Service Schedule,” Section 3.13 (Page 16). The fol­lowing procedure should be used for inspection:
• Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.
• Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries and, if necessary, fill with Distilled Water Only. Do not use tap water in batteries.
• Have the state of charge and condition checked by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
NOTE:
Servicing of the battery is to be performed or supervised by knowledgeable personnel, accord­ing to the required precautions. Keep unautho­rized personnel away from batteries.
Damage will result if the battery connections are made in reverse.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding. Storage batter­ies release 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 tool or equip­ment near the battery. Discharge static electrici­ty from your body before touching the battery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precau­tions are to be observed when working on bat­teries:
• Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects;
• Use tools with insulated handles;
• Wear rubber gloves and boots;
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the
battery;
• Disconnect any charging source prior to connect-
ing, or disconnecting, battery terminals; and
• 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.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte has been known to be harmful to the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures are to be observed:
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 13
3/8" NPT HEX PIPE CAP
GASKET
ACCESS PLATE
14 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.
• Immediately wash with water all skin areas that come into contact with the electrolyte.
• If the electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water, and seek med­ical attention.
• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicar­bonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.
3.7 COOLING SYSTEM
Air intake and outlet openings in the generator com­partment must be open and unobstructed for contin­ued proper operation. Avoid obstructions, such as, high grass, weeds, brush, leaves, and snow.
Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it to shut down.
3.8 ENGINE COOLANT
Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery tank at least once daily or prior to use. Add the recom­mended coolant mixture (see Section 1.5.4, Page 6), as necessary; the tank should be kept within the lev­els indicated on the adjacent decal. If desired, you may add a high-quality rust inhibitor to the recom­mended 50-50 coolant mixture. If added consistently, the recommended mixture will protect the unit against freezing temperatures.
Periodically remove the radiator pressure cap, locat­ed behind the access cover above the user control panel, to make sure the coolant recovery system is functioning properly. Coolant should be at the bottom of the radiator filler neck. If the coolant level is low, inspect the gasket in the radiator pressure cap. Replace the cap, if necessary. To have the pressure cap tested, contact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer. Inspect both the cooling system and coolant recovery system for leaks.
Do not remove the radiator pressure cap while the engine is hot; otherwise, serious burns from boiling liquid or steam could result.
Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous. Do not use your mouth to siphon coolant from the radiator, recovery bottle, or any container. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling. Never store used antifreeze in an open contain­er because animals are attracted to the smell and taste of antifreeze, even though it is poiso­nous to them.
Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with ethylene glycol base antifreeze; other­wise, chromium hydroxide (“green slime”) will form and cause overheating. Engines that have been operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor must be chemically cleaned before adding ethylene glycol base antifreeze. Using any high-silicate antifreeze boosters or addi­tives will also cause overheating. We also rec­ommend that you DO NOT use any soluble oil inhibitor for this equipment.
3.9 MAJOR SERVICE MANUAL
To obtain a service manual for your generator, con­tact Generac or your nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer. Make sure to identify your MODEL NUMBER and SERIES.
3.10 DRIVE BELT
The engine drives the generator rotor by means of a pulley and drive belt arrangement. Drive belt tension was properly adjusted before the unit was shipped from the factory. If you suspect that drive belt tension is incorrect, contact a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
3.11 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. If you cannot exercise the generator every seven days, and it is to be out of service longer than 30 days, see Section 3.12.
3.12 OUT-OF-SERVICE PROCEDURE
3.12.1 REMOVAL FROM SERVICE
Prepare the generator for storage as follows:
1. Start the engine and let it run until it is thor­oughly warmed up (at least five minutes), then shut off the engine.
2. While the engine is still warm from running, drain the oil completely (see Section 3.2, Page
12). Refill the crankcase with the recommended oil (see Section 1.5.3, Page 6).
3. Attach a tag to the engine, indicating the viscosity and classification of the oil in the crankcase.

GENERAL HA
ZARDS
• For safety reasons, Generac recommends that the installation, initial startup, and mainte­nance of this equipment is carried out by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox­ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. This exhaust sys­tem must be installed properly, in strict compli­ance with applicable codes and standards. Following installation, you must do nothing that might render the system unsafe or in noncompli­ance with such codes and standards. The genera­tor compartment must be completely vapor-sealed from the 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.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ven­tilating air is critical to correct generator oper­ation and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel vapors from the generator compartment. Without sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which caus­es serious damage to the generator. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never work on the equipment when you are physically or mentally fatigued.
• Before performing any maintenance on the genera­tor, disconnect its battery cables to prevent acci­dental startup. First, disconnect the cable from the battery post, indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG, or (–). Reconnect that cable last.
• 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.
• Never insert any tool or other object through open­ings in the generator interior, even if the unit is not running. You might seriously injure yourself or damage the equipment.
Safety Rules

DANGER: For fire safety, installation of a generator into a recreational vehicle must comply strictly with NFPA 70 (latest edition), “National Electrical Code”, Article 551, and NFPA 1192 (latest edition), “Standard for Recreational Vehicles”. In addition, installation must comply with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 19
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• The generator covered by this manual produces dangerous electrical voltages that can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter­minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards, and barri­ers are in place before operating the generator. If you must work around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
• During installation onto the vehicle, properly ground (bond) the generator either by solid mount­ing to the vehicle frame or chassis, or by means of an approved bonding conductor. DO NOT connect 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 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper wire minimum.
• If the vehicle electrical circuits can be powered by any other source of electricity (such as, a “dockside” power receptacle), there must be no possibility of connecting the different power sources to the vehi­cle’s circuits at the same time. The dockside (utility) power source must be positively isolated from the vehicle’s circuits whenever the generator is operat­ing. Failure to isolate the vehicle’s circuits from the dockside power supply when the generator is run­ning may result in damage to the generator or in serious injury or death to dockside (utility) power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• In case of an accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a noncon­ducting implement, such as, a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the vic­tim is unconscious, apply first aid, and get immediate medical help.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip­ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity, resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving com­ponents, causing injury.
FIRE HAZARDS
• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained properly. Installation always must comply with applicable 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) has estab­lished. Also, ensure that the generator is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Following proper installation, do nothing that might alter a safe installation and render the unit in noncom­pliance with the aforementioned codes, stan­dards, laws, and regulations.
• Keep a fire extinguisher in the vehicle at all times. Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National Fire Protection Association are appropriate for use on the recreational vehicle generator electrical system. Keep the extinguisher properly charged, and be familiar with its use. If you have any question per­taining to fire extinguishers, consult your local fire department.
EXP
LOSION HAZARDS
• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com­bustible materials are left in the generator com­partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surround­ing the generator clean and free from debris.
• All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care. Comply with all laws regulating the storage and han­dling of fuels.
• Fuel supply lines must be properly installed, purged and leak-tested according to applicable fuel-gas codes, before placing this equipment into service. There must be no possibility of fuel vapors enter­ing the vehicle interior.
• You are required to install an approved, flexible, nonconductive fuel line between the generator fuel connection point and the rigid fuel lines.

2.1 LOCATION AND SUPPORT
2.1.1 GENERATOR LOCATION
The most desirable location for the generator set is between the vehicle's main frame members.
Many recreational vehicles have been factory­equipped with an area for the generator set. Some may even have a generator compartment provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
Plan the generator location based on the following:
• The generator set must be installed on a frame­work that is part of the recreational vehicle, as out­lined in Section 2.1.2.
• The location must provide an access opening that is large enough to permit generator removal (unless the generator is to be removed from under­neath the supporting framework).
• The location must provide easy access to frequent­ly serviced components, such as, filters, oil drains, and other common maintenance parts.
• The location must provide sufficient room to allow minimum clearances for air circulation. If sound insulation is to be used on the compart­ment walls and ceiling, the minimum recom­mended clearance applies to the space between the generator and such insulation.
• The location must provide adequate cooling and ventilating airflow for the generator, without a great deal of work and expense.
2.1.2 GENERATOR SUPPORT
The generator must be securely attached to a metal framework that has been affixed to the vehicle frame structure by bolting or welding. The metal framework on which the generator will rest, and which will restrain the generator set, should consist of at least two hori­zontal beams. These beams should consist of (a) 1-1/2­inch square, 11-gauge steel tubing OR (b) 1-1/2-inch, 11-gauge angle iron.
The generator can be installed so that it sits on top of the horizontal support tubing, if the vehicle design permits. Another method is to suspend the generator below the horizontal support tubing by means of suit­able, structurally-sound metal framework. The fol­lowing general rules apply:
• Vehicle construction MUST be capable of support­ing the weight of the generator.
• Whether the generator is mounted above the hori­zontal support tubing or suspended below the tub­ing, the supporting frame used must be structural­ly sound.
• If the generator cannot be bolted directly to the supporting frame or support tubing, consider using additional tubing, angle brackets or other supports to give the supporting frame suf­ficient strength.
2.1.3 SUSPENDED MOUNTING
If you are going to suspend the generator below the horizontal support tubing, the suspension method you use with the vehicle frame members must (a) be able to support the weight of the generator AND (b) provide sufficient restraint for the generator. One typ­ical suspended mounting system is shown in Figure
2.1. The location of a suspended mounting system
must be carefully planned, keeping the following gen­eral rules in mind:
• Protect the generator against road splash and debris. Baffles or splash guards may be required to protect certain areas of the generator. To make sure the gen­erator is adequately protected, road-test the installa­tion through mud, water, and slush.
Figure 2.1 – Typical Suspended Mounting System
• The installer must make certain that the selected location will permit adequate cooling and ventilat­ing airflow.
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 23
2.1.4 GENERATOR RESTRAINT
Use four 3/8"-16 hardened steel bolts (Grade 5) to fas­ten the generator to the supporting frame or the sup­port tubing. These bolts must pass through (a) the gen­erator mounting base, (b) the compartment floor (if a compartment is used), and (c) the supporting frame­work (Figure 2.2). All bolts must be long enough so that, when tight, they engage at least 3/8” of an inch [9.5 millimeters]. Refer to Section 2.2 for the location of the generator mounting holes.
Figure 2.2 – Typical Generator Restraint
2.2 GENERATOR COMPARTMENTS
Whether the generator set is being installed inside a compartment specifically manufactured to house a gen­erator or inside a compartment that the installer con­structs, the compartment MUST meet certain specifi­cations, as outlined in the following sections:
2.2.1 COMPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION
• The generator compartment should be either constructed of, or lined with, 26-gauge galva­nized steel.
NOTE:
Aluminum is NOT an acceptable alternative to galvanized steel due to aluminum’s low melting point.
• If the compartment is lined with galvanized steel, it may be constructed of any material. Generac rec­ommends that the compartment be constructed of 1/2-inch thick plywood (not strandboard), with the floor made of a double thickness of 1/2-inch ply­wood, having the grain of the wood at cross section for added strength (Figure 2.3).
Figure 2.3 – Typical Compartment Construction
• If constructing a compartment, line the exterior (underside) of the compartment floor with 26­gauge galvanized steel.
• All seams, splices, and joints of the compartment walls (unless vapor-tight by design) should be caulked to prevent poisonous, flammable, or explosive vapors from entering the vehicle interior.
NOTE:
Caulking must be done so that the caulking materi­al will stay in place permanently. Pressing materials such as, putty tape, onto joints and seams is NOT acceptable. A high-quality silicone rubber base sealant is recommended.
• Holes and openings made in the compartment walls to allow for the passage of electrical conduit, conductors, hoses, cables, etc., into the vehicle liv­ing area must be sealed vapor-tight with silicone rubber base sealant.
• If a flexible metal conduit is used, it must be sealed internally at the end, where it terminates inside the compartment’s electrical junction box.
NOTE:
Flexible metal conduit, due to its unique con­struction, is NOT vapor-tight along its entire length.
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
24 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.
• Seams and joints of the galvanized steel (whether used as a liner or for the compartment itself) must be lapped and mechanically secured. Such seams may be manufactured, welded, bolted, riveted, or screwed. Manufactured lock seams are shown in Figure 2.4. Installer-constructed compartments typically utilize a standard lap joint.
Figure 2.4 – Types of Lock Seams
• After the compartment has been metal -lined and vapor-sealed, line the compartment interior walls and ceiling with an approved, nonflammable sound-insulating material. See Section 2.2.2.
Do not install any flammable material directly above or around the compartment. Heat, transferred through the compartment structure, may be sufficient to ignite, char, or discolor seat cushions, fiberboard, and other flammable materials. You may need to use approved, nonflammable insulating materials in high temperature areas.
2.2.2 SOUND INSULATING MATERIALS
Once installers have determined that a compartment is properly constructed and metal-lined, they can add acoustical material. This may include additional sealant or insulating material, to reflect noise away from the vehicle interior.
Sound insulating materials should be of a nonflam­mable type. One excellent insulating material is a 1­inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass having a 2-pound den­sity. When fiberglass is used, its coated side should face toward the compartment interior.
Do not install sound insulation or any absorbent material on the compartment floor interior. Such materials will become soaked with combustible or explosive vapors and liquids and will become a fire hazard.
Using a combination of sound-insulating materials can often reduce noise more effectively than a sin­gle material. For example, a sheet of lead or visco­elastic material, along with a layer of other acousti­cal material, is more effective than when a single material is used.
2.2.3 ACOUSTICS
For additional noise abatement, the installer may wish to consider the following:
• Using special sound-insulating materials.
• Construction of a special noise abatement compartment.
NOTE:
Any method used to reduce noise must not adversely affect the flow of cooling and ventilating air into, or out of, the compartment.
In addition to the effective use of sound insulating materials, construction of a special noise abatement compartment might be considered to reduce noise levels. Such a compartment might be constructed as follows (Figure 2.5, Page 25):
• Use 5/8-inch thick or 3/4-inch thick plywood in the compartment.
• Construct the compartment floor of a double thick­ness of 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch plywood.
• Line the compartment’s interior walls and floor, as well as the underside of the floor, with 26-gauge galvanized steel.
• Vapor-seal all compartment seams and joints.
• Over the galvanized steel lining, install a combina­tion of acoustical materials, as mentioned in Section 2.2.2.
To prevent fire or explosion, do not install any insulation, or other absorbent materials, on the interior or underside of the compartment floor.
• Seal all compartment door edges to prevent noise leakage around the door perimeter.
• Line the compartment door interior (except for air openings) with suitable, fireproof sound insulation (such as, 1-inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass with a 2­pound density).
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 25
Figure 2.5 – Typical Noise Abatement
2.2.4 COMPARTMENT FLOOR CUTOUTS
You must provide openings in the generator compart­ment for the following items (Figure 2.6):
• Engine exhaust and cooling air outlets
• Generator cooling air inlet and front service door
• Four holes for passage of generator mounting bolts. See Section 2.1.4 (Page 23)
• Rear service door.
Fuel lines and exhaust piping must not pene­trate into the vehicle living area.
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator

2.3 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
It is absolutely essential that an adequate flow of air for cooling, ventilation, and engine combustion be supplied to the generator set. Without sufficient air­flow, the engine/generator quickly overheats. Such overheating can cause serious operating difficulties and also may cause fire and personal injury. The installer must make sure that sufficient air is avail­able to the generator for cooling, ventilating, and combustion. The installer also must provide a path for exhausting the cooling air to the exterior of a com­partment, if so equipped.
Never use discharged cooling air for heating or permit such air to enter the vehicle interior. This air contains deadly carbon monoxide gas and other poisonous, flammable, or explosive gases.
2.3.1 GENERATOR AIRFLOW
This unit uses an impellar fan located on the alterna­tor drive pulley to cool the alternator’s internal com­ponents. Air is drawn through the alternator and expelled radially behind the drive pulley. An engine­driven centrifugal blower draws in cooling air through air inlet openings, moves that air around the engine/generator and across the radiator, then dis­charges that air out the bottom (see Figure 2.7).
Figure 2.7 – Airflow Through Engine/Generator
2.3.2 COOLING AIR INLET OPENINGS
The minimum size of the air inlet opening, whether the generator is housed in a conventional compart­ment or not, is at least 150 square inches (975 cm2) (see Figure 2.8). This rule applies whether inlet air is brought in through an opening in the com­partment door, an opening in the vehicle skirt, through ductwork, or by any other means.
NOTE:
Screening, louvers, or expanded metal that cover air openings restrict airflow. You must compensate for this by making the actual air opening proportion­ately larger. See Section 2.3.3 (Page 27).
Figure 2.8 – Air Inlet in Compartment Door
When the unit is installed on a suspended mounting system, one of several different methods of supplying airflow may be used as follows:
• Provide a door in the vehicle skirt having an air inlet opening (Figure 2.9).
Figure 2.9 – Suspended Mount: Inlet Door
• Use ductwork (Figure 2.10, Page 27). The installer must be sure air is available to the sides of the gen­erator for proper air intake.
• Provide an opening in the vehicle skirt and space around the generator for cooling airflow (Figure
2.11, Page 27). Recommended clearance around all sides of the generator is at least 2 inches (50 mm).
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 27
Figure 2.10 – Air Inlet Using Ductwork
Figure 2.11 – Air Inlet in Vehicle Skirt
2.3.3 COMPENSATING FOR RESTRICTIONS
Materials, such as, screening, louvers, or expanded metal, can restrict the free flow of air. Compensate for this restriction by making the actual air opening pro­portionately larger.
Some materials may offer only a 60 percent “free air inlet area.” Other more efficient materials may pro­vide up to a 90 percent free air inlet area. The per­centage of free air inlet opening is usually available from the material’s supplier or manufacturer.
To determine the actual air inlet opening size required, divide 150 square inches (975 cm2)by the percentage of free air inlet area for the mater­ial you will use.
For example: If you plan to use screening with an 80
percent free air inlet area, divide 150 (975) by 0.8, which results in 187.5 square inches (1,218.75 cm2). Minimum actual size of air inlet opening in this case is
187.5 square inches (1,218.75 cm2).
2.3.4 TESTING THE INSTALLATION
Generac recommends testing the installation to be sure adequate cooling airflow is available to the unit, before placing the unit into service. If the unit shows signs of overheating, you will need to enlarge the air openings. Never place a unit into service until absolutely certain that cooling and ventilation is adequate.
NOTE:
You must test the installation, especially if you bring in air from below the generator set.
2.4 DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
The installation of a diesel fuel system (Figure 2.12) for a recreational vehicle generator set must comply with applicable codes, standards, and regulations. The entire fuel system must be completely free of leaks. There must be no possibility of fuel vapors entering the vehicle interior.
Figure 2.12 – Generator Fuel System
All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care. Comply with all laws regulating the storage and handling of fuels. Properly install and maintain the fuel system, and keep it entirely free of leaks. Fuel vapors must not enter the vehicle interior.
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
28 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.
Because diesel fuels are less volatile than gasoline or gaseous fuels, they are considered safer from the stand­point of storage and handling. As a result, installers may tend to be careless in their installation practices, which can result in poor engine performance. For example, a poorly tightened fuel line may not show any signs of leakage; however, air can be drawn into the loose connection and cause problems. Air that is trapped in the diesel fuel system results in hard start­ing and rough engine operation.
Dirt that enters the fuel system also may cause prob­lems. Lines and piping must be properly installed and tightened to prevent dirt from entering. Diesel fuel must be kept clean.
Factory-installed generator fuel system components include (a) a fuel filter, (b) a 12-volt DC electric pump, (c) an injection pump, and (d) interconnecting lines and fittings. Connect a fuel supply line to the supply fitting and a return line from the fuel return fitting back to the tank.
NOTE:
Fuel supply and return fittings located on the gen­erator are 1/8” NPT.
Use a length of approved flexible fuel hose between the fuel connection fittings and rigid fuel lines (see Sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3).
2.4.1 FUEL TANK
Either the generator must share the vehicle’s engine fuel tank, or you must install a separate fuel tank for the generator set. All fuel tanks installed on the vehicle must be constructed, installed, and restrained so they comply with applicable codes, standards, and regulations.
If the generator is to share the vehicle’s engine tank, separate fuel pickup tubes are required for the engine and the generator. Generac recommends that you make the fuel pickup tube 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm) shorter than the vehicle’s engine pickup tube. This prevents the generator from depleting the entire fuel supply during prolonged generator operating periods.
Do NOT tee the generator fuel supply line into the vehicle engine fuel supply line. If this is done, the generator will be starved of fuel when both engines are operating at the same time. Also, while the vehicle engine is not run­ning, generator operation may drain the vehi­cle engine supply line, making it difficult to start the vehicle engine.
2.4.2 GENERATOR FUEL SUPPLY LINES
2.4.2.1 Rigid Fuel Lines
Those lines used to supply fuel from a tank to the generator must comply with applicable codes, stan­dards, and regulations. The following general rules apply to rigid fuel lines:
• Rigid lines should be of annealed, seamless, drawn aluminum, or steel.
• Lines and fittings must comply with SAE J512F, “Standard Automotive Fittings,” or with ANSI B126.26 (latest edition).
• Route the fuel line so that at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance is maintained between the line and any exhaust system parts.
• Do not attach electrical wiring to fuel lines. Route the wiring so it cannot come into contact with any fuel line.
• Route fuel lines so that, if they leak, fuel does not drip onto any electrical or exhaust system parts.
• Use nonferrous metal straps without sharp edges to secure fuel lines.
• Fuel system components must be accessible, but protected from abrasion, chafing, road damage, and kinking.
2.4.2.2 Flexible Fuel Line
Use a length of approved flexible fuel hose between the generator fuel supply fitting and rigid fuel lines. This prevents breaking of the line caused by vibra­tion, shifting, settling, or movement. The following rules apply:
• The flexible hose must comply with SAE J30B, “Standard for Fuel and Oil Hose.” It must be approved for use with diesel fuel.
• The hose should be at least 6 inches (152 mm) longer than is needed, to prevent the hose from rupturing if the generator shifts or settles.
2.4.3 GENERATOR FUEL RETURN LINES
The same general rules that apply to fuel supply lines also apply to fuel return lines.
NOTE:
Locate the diesel fuel return line at least 12 inches from the tank fuel pickup tubes to prevent air bub­bles from entering the fuel supply lines.
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 29
2.5 EXHAUST SYSTEM
The generator exhaust system must be safely and properly installed. Only approved exhaust system parts must be used. A properly installed exhaust sys­tem must be vapor-tight, quiet, and completely safe.
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. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. 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 (h) sleepiness. IF YOU FEEL ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Do not operate the generator until its exhaust system has been inspected and properly repaired.
Never tee the generator engine exhaust pipe into the vehicle engine exhaust piping. This causes excessive back pressure on the genera­tor engine. Also, water from one engine can damage the other engine.
2.5.1 MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTOR
The exhaust muffler supplied with the QUIETPACT ™ 65D is a spark arrestor type that meets code and standard requirements of the U.S. Forest Service. Any person(s) installing an unapproved muffler, or an unapproved exhaust system part, or modifying an exhaust system in any way that might cause a hazard, is liable for any damage, injury, or warranty expense that might be caused by such unapproved installation or modification.
The inside diameter of the muffler outlet tube is 33.5 mm/1.32 inches. Nominal pipe diameter of 1-5/16” (1.31”) will fit snuggly inside and 1-3/8” muffler clamp will hold in place.
2.5.2 EXHAUST SYSTEM SAFETY
• Maintain a clearance of at least 3 inches (76 mm) between exhaust system parts and any com­bustible material (such as, wood, felt, cotton, organic fibers, or other like material). If you can­not maintain the 3-inch (76 mm) clearance, locate, insulate, or shield the exhaust part(s) so that the temperature of any combustible material is not raised to more than 117° F (65° C) above the ambient air temperature.
• Terminate the exhaust tailpipe at least 3 feet (91 cm) from the vehicle’s fuel filler cap and at least 2 inches (51 mm) past the outer edge of the vehi­cle. Do not terminate the exhaust system under the vehicle.
• Terminate the exhaust tailpipe such that exhaust gases will not be drawn back into the generator compartment and recirculated.
• Fuel and oil must NOT be able to drip onto any exhaust system part.
Figure 2.13 – Typical Exhaust System
• If there is any possibility of the tailpipe or muffler being damaged, protect these damage-prone areas by means of a protective device (such as, a skid bar).
• Install the generator exhaust system according to safe automotive practices.
• Use enough exhaust system hangers to prevent any part of the system from being dislocated.
• Use exhaust system parts recommended by Generac. Using unapproved exhaust mufflers and exhaust system parts is the responsibility of the person(s) installing such unauthorized parts.
• Do not terminate the exhaust system under any opening, window, or vent that can be opened or is not permanently sealed from the vehicle interior.
• Exhaust piping must be large enough to prevent excessive back pressure on the generator engine.
Section 2 – Installation

• Never tee the generator engine exhaust pipe into the vehicle engine exhaust piping. This causes excessive back pressure on the generator engine. Also, water from one engine can damage the other engine.
• Plan exhaust system installation carefully. Comply with all applicable codes, standards, and regulations.
2.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Be sure to read Section 1.6 on Page 20.
The following general rules apply to electrical con­nections in a recreational vehicle:
• Qualified electricians who are familiar with applic­able codes, standards, and regulations should install electrical wiring.
• The wiring should comply with codes, standards, and regulations. The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), and state and local codes apply.
• Switches and circuit breakers should be of a type approved for use in recreational vehicles and must be mounted and installed to prevent damage from road shock.
• Wiring must be of adequate size, have approved insulative qualities, and be properly supported.
• Conduit and wire openings into the generator com­partment (if used) must be vapor-sealed to prevent entry of flammable, explosive, or poisonous gases into the vehicle.
2.6.1 ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX
Install an approved, square electrical junction box with a blank cover on the interior or exterior wall of the area you plan to install the generator (NOT on the generator). Route the generator's AC output leads into this junction box through approved flexible con­duit. This is the point of first termination for genera­tor AC output leads.
2.6.2 WIRING
• Wiring should be of stranded copper to reduce the chance that vibration may cause breakage.
• Wire gauge size should be large enough to handle at least 115 percent of the installed generator's rated maximum current.
• If neutral conductors are used, they must be the same size as other leg wires.
• Route power supply conductors from generator AC output leads T1 (red), T3 (black), and the green ground wire through approved flexible conduit to the electrical junction box on the compartment wall.
If a flexible metal conduit is used between the gener-
ator and the compartment junction box, the conduit end that terminates at the compartment junction box must be vapor-sealed. Flexible metal conduit is NOT vapor-tight along its entire length.
• From the junction box, route power supply wires through approved conduit to either (a) double-pole, double-throw transfer switch, or (b) approved isola­tion receptacle. Connecting to a transfer switch or isolation receptacle must prevent vehicle electrical circuits from being connected to two different power supplies at the same time (such as, generator and dockside power).
• Conductors must be rated 221° F (105° C) or must be of a larger conductor size.
2.6.3 GENERATOR AC CONNECTIONS
Generator AC output leads T1 (red), and T3 (black) come out of the generator, as shown in Figure 2.14. Leads T1 (red) and T3 (black) are “hot.” There is also a green lead that connects to ground in the junction box of the recreational vehicle.
Figure 2.14 – Generator AC Output Leads
QUIETPACT ™ generators use a four-position terminal block to connect between stator power leads and vehi­cle load leads. This terminal block is accessible by removing the access panel, shown in Figure 2.14. Units are shipped from the factory connected for (230 volts AC) output (See Figure 2.15). The stator power wind­ings are connected in series. Lead 11/11A connects to T3 (Black), lead 44/44A connects to T1 (Red), while leads 22 and 33 are isolated. A "tie bar" connects the two switch handles on line breaker CB1.
Do NOT connect electrical loads in excess of any circuit breaker rating, or you will develop problems with circuit breaker tripping, which causes a loss of AC output. Also, do NOT exceed the generator’s rated wattage capacity. Add the watts or amps of all lighting, appliance, tool, and motor loads the generator will operate at one time. This total should be less than the unit’s rated wattage/amperage capacity.

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, two-wire connection system.
Figure 1.1 – Connections for 230 Volts Only
2.6.4 CONDUIT
Route the connections between the generator and the junction box through approved, flexible conduit. The following general rules apply:
• All wiring, conduit, and interconnections must be installed in compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulations.
• Cut wiring to the required length, and allow extra wire for junction box connections.
• Carefully prepare conduit ends to prevent sharp edges from cutting through wiring insulation.
• Route conduit so it does not interfere with genera­tor movement.
• If you use metallic conduit, vapor-seal the end of the conduit where it enters the junction box. Do this because flexible metallic conduit is not vapor­proof along its entire length.
• All openings in the generator compartment for the passage of wiring and conduit must be sealed and made vapor-tight.
NOTE:
Use a high-quality silicone rubber base sealant or other approved method (such as, explosion-proof fittings) to seal such openings.
2.6.5 POWER SUPPLY CORD
The power supply cord must comply with all applic­able codes, standards, and regulations. It must be large enough to handle the full amperage to which it will be subjected.
2.6.6 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS
The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, 551-7) requires that you install ground-fault circuit inter­rupters (GFCIs) on all external and some internal electrical receptacles. Contact your manufacturer or dealer for recommendations.
2.6.7 ISOLATING DIFFERENT POWER SOURCES
Connections from the junction box must terminate in a double-pole, double-throw transfer switch (Figure
2.17). An alternate method for isolating different
power sources includes using an isolating receptacle (Figure 2.18 on page 32). Whichever method you use, you must be certain that both power sources are NOT connected at the same time.
Section 2 – Installation
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
Figure 2.17 – Transfer Switch Isolation Method
32 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.
If the vehicle’s electrical circuits can be powered by any other source of electricity (such as, a “dock­side” power receptacle), there must be no possibil­ity of connecting the different power sources to the vehicle’s circuits at the same time. The dock­side (utility) power source must be positively iso­lated from the vehicle’s circuits whenever the gen­erator is operating. Failure to isolate the vehicle’s circuits from the dockside power supply when the generator is running may result in damage to the generator or in serious injury or death to dockside (utility) power workers due to backfeed of electri­cal energy. Installation and connection of the gen­erator must comply with NFPA 70, Article 551, and NFPA 1192 (latest editions).
2.7 BATTERY INSTALLATION
2.7.1 RECOMMENDED BATTERY
Install a battery that meets the following requirements:
• The battery must be a 12-volt, automotive-type storage battery.
• Use a battery with minimum ratings of 70 amp­hours and 360 cold-cranking amps.
NOTE:
If the battery is to be used to power other vehicle accessories, as well as to start the generator, you may need a battery with a larger capacity.
2.7.2 BATTERY CABLES
Using battery cables that are too long or too small in diameter may cause a drop in voltage, which causes starting problems. For the best cold weather starting, the voltage drop between battery terminals and the generator connection point should not exceed 0.12 volts per 100 amps of cranking current.
The QUIETPACT™ 65D generator is rated at about 160 DC amps of cranking current to operate the starter and glow plugs.
Select battery cables based on (a) cable length and (b) prevailing ambient temperatures. Generally, the longer the cable and the colder the weather, the larg­er the cable size must be, as shown in the chart.
2.7.3 BATTERY CABLE CONNECTIONS
1. Connect the battery cable from the battery post or terminal, indicated by a POSITIVE, POS, or (+), to the insulated lug on the unit frame (Figure 2.19 on page 33).
NOTE:
Check to be sure the cable boot for the positive cable has been installed.

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 33
2. Connect the battery cable from the battery post, indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-), to the vehicle frame ground connection (Figure 2.19).
3. Connect a cable from the vehicle frame ground to the negative post on the generator frame.
4. Connect cables so the connectors are clean and tight.
Figure 2.19 – Connecting Battery Cables
2.7.4 BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Install the generator battery in its own, vented com­partment. Place the battery compartment away from any source of heat, sparks, or flame.
Provide ventilation openings in the battery compart­ment. The minimum size of openings should be 2 square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure, where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause damage.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding. 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 tool or equipment near the battery. Discharge static electricity from your body before touching the battery by first touching a grounded metal sur­face.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions are to be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects;
• Use tools with insulated handles;
• Wear rubber gloves and boots;
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery;
• Disconnect any charging source prior to connecting
or disconnecting battery terminals; and
• 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.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is known to be harmful to the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures are to be observed:
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately with water.
• If the electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately
flush eyes thoroughly with water, and seek med­ical attention.
• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an
acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicar­bonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.
2.8 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
A plug-in connector (Figure 2.20) is provided on the generator set, below the control panel. Use this to connect an optional remote-mounted start/stop panel to the generator. Installation of such a panel will per­mit you to start and stop the generator engine from any convenient location inside the vehicle.

2.8.1 REMOTE START/STOP CONNECTIONS
The following steps are necessary to connect the remote start/stop option:
1. If the six-wire remote connector is visible below the control panel, as shown in Figure 2.20, skip to step 5. Otherwise, proceed with step 2.
2. Remove the electrical access panel located just below the knock-out labeled “REMOTE.” The remote connector will be located inside the elec­trical enclosure, along the right side.
3. Remove the “REMOTE” knock-out, taking care not to damage the wiring behind it.
4. Feed the remote connector through the hole, and fit the supplied grommet into position.
5. Wire the remote harness (Part # C6712C, sup­plied as an accessory with the generator) to the vehicle’s remote start panel. Refer to Figure 2.20 for a wiring legend.
6. Plug the remote harness into the mating remote connector on the generator.
3.1 POST INSTALLATION TESTS
The generator set was factory-tested and adjusted. You should not be required to adjust the unit any fur­ther, except under special circumstances.
Do not make any unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are correct for most applica­tions. When making adjustments, however, be careful to avoid overspeeding the engine.
3.2 BEFORE INITIAL STARTUP
Before starting, complete the following:
1. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if nec­essary, fill to the dipstick “FULL” mark (cross­hatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark.
2. Check the fuel supply. Fuel lines must have been properly purged and leak-tested in accordance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.
3.3 INITIAL START
When you are absolutely certain that the unit has been properly installed and prepared for use, start the engine as follows:
1. Turn off all electrical loads. Do this by setting the generator’s line breakers to their “OFF” (or open) position.
2. Refer to Part I, Section 2.4, “Starting the Generator” (Page 8), for cranking and starting instructions. The engine may require more cranking for initial starting, since the fuel lines have to be primed (use of the preheat switch will operate the generator’s electrical fuel pump and shorten this time).
3. Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to allow internal temperatures to stabilize.
4. Carefully inspect the engine/generator for fuel, oil, and exhaust system leaks. Before proceeding to the next step, correct any leakage immediately.
5. When all tests and adjustments at no-load are completed, apply electrical loads and check for proper operation under load. See Section
3.4. Run the unit at least 30 minutes, with loads applied.
6. Turn off all electrical loads by setting the gen­erator’s line breakers to their “OFF” (or open) position.
7. Let the unit run at no-load for a few minutes to stabilize internal engine/generator temperatures. Then, shut down the engine.
NOTE:
The generator set was thoroughly tested and adjusted at the factory before shipping. No addi­tional adjustment should be necessary. Only trained, qualified service technicians should perform adjustments outlined in this manual.
3.4 TESTING UNDER LOAD
Apply electrical loads equal to about 50 to 75 percent of the unit's rated wattage/amperage capacity.
Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load applied. During this part of the test, check that the unit is not running excessively hot and that adequate cooling air­flow is available. You must not allow the unit to over­heat during prolonged operation.
NOTE:
The generator engine is equipped with a high coolant temperature switch. The switch has normal­ly open (N.O.) contacts. When the engine coolant temperature is too high, switch contacts close, and the engine shuts down automatically.
GENERAC RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TEST THE GENERATOR FOR ADEQUATE COOLING.

FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
(for non-road Diesel engines rated under 19 kW)
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), Generac Power Systems, Inc. (GENERAC), and the engine manufacturer for this equipment, Ishikawajima Shibaura Machinery Co., Ltd. (ISM), are pleased to explain the federal and California emission control system warranty on your engine.
In California, new 2000 and later small non-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the state's strin­gent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 2000 and later non-road diesel engines rated under 19 kW must be designed, built, and equipped to conform to applicable EPA regulations.
ISM must warrant the emission control system on your engine for that period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your small non-road diesel engine.
Your California and EPA emission control system may include parts, such as, the fuel injection system and other emission­related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, GENERAC will repair your engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor, on behalf of ISM. Although ISM is ultimately responsible for this warranty, GENERAC has agreed to carry out ISM's warranty repair responsibilities, and GENERAC should be your primary contact for emission-related warranty service.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE
For 2000 and later small non-road diesel engines, first sold in California, and for 2000 and later non-road diesel engines rated under 19 kW, first sold in all other states, the applicable warranty period is two (2) years or 1,500 hours, whichever comes first.
If any emission-related part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility on behalf of ISM.
PARTS COVERED
This emission control system warranty applies to the following engine emission control parts.
• Fuel Injection Pump • Fuel Injectors
• Intake Manifold • Exhaust Manifold
• Air Cleaner Element • Miscellaneous Hoses, Bolts and Connectors
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner's Manual. GENERAC and ISM recommend that you retain the original purchase documentation and all receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but GENERAC and ISM cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine owner, you should be aware, however, that GENERAC and ISM may deny you warranty coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for contacting a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. 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 your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our toll-free number:
1-800-333-1322
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact GENERAC at the following address:

Appendix 5 – Warranty
QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator
OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE MANUFACTURER AND OWNER
The new model year, class of diesel engine, and emission application determination for your engine are identified on the emission control information label affixed to the right-hand side of your engine's timing gear case. The warranty period begins on the date the new equipment is sold to the first retail purchaser.
Any emission control system parts scheduled for regular inspection that are proven defective during normal use will be repaired or replaced during the warranty period. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement, and that fails prior to replacement, will be repaired or replaced under warranty, and the repaired or replaced part will be covered under war­ranty for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement. The warranty repairs and service will be per­formed by any Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, with no charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis).
As the engine owner, you are responsible to perform all the required maintenance listed in your Owner's Manual. GEN­ERAC will not deny an emission warranty claim solely because you have no record of maintenance; however, a claim may be denied if your failure to perform maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranted part. Receipts covering reg­ular maintenance should be retained in the event of questions, and these receipts should be passed on to each subse­quent owner of the engine.
It is recommended that replacement parts used for maintenance or repairs be GENERAC authorized and approved parts, to maintain the quality originally designed into your emission-certified engine. However, any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of GENERAC. Add-on or modified parts may not be used for maintenance or war­ranty repairs. Such use will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim, and GENERAC will not be liable to warrant fail­ures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-on or modified part.
LIMITATIONS
This warranty shall not cover any of the following:
(a) Systems and parts that were not first installed on the new equipment or engine as original equipment by GENERAC.
(b) Conditions resulting from tampering, misuse, abuse, improper adjustment, engine alteration, use of add-on or modified
parts, use of replacement parts that are not the same in performance and durability as GENERAC-approved replacement parts, accident, failure to use the recommended fuel or oil, use of unapproved fuel or oil additives, or failure to perform required maintenance.
(c) Replacement parts used for required or scheduled maintenance.
(d) Consequential damages, such as, loss of time, inconvenience, or loss of use of this engine or equipment.
(e) Damages or repair costs caused by the owner's unreasonable delay in making the engine available for inspection
and repair.
(f) Diagnosis or inspection fees that do not result in eligible warranty service being performed.
(g) Equipment with an altered or disconnected hourmeter, where the hours cannot be determined.
(h) Equipment normally operated outside the United States.
(i) Accident-caused damage, acts of nature, or other events beyond GENERAC’S control.
(j) Warranty repairs undertaken or attempted by the owner or any other person who is not affiliated with a Generac
Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
To obtain service under this warranty, promptly contact your nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. If available, provide the GENERAC representative with the original purchase receipt (showing the initial date of purchase) and all available maintenance records.

Generac RV generators manufactured prior to December 31, 1997, DO NOT have a transferable warranty. Generac RV generators manu­factured after January 1, 1998, have a transferable warranty to the second owner, ONLY for the remainder of the three-year limited war­ranty.

ICE INFORMATION MANUAL
.
THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:
Costs of normal maintenance, adjustments, installation, and startup.
Failures caused by any contaminated fuels or oils.
Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper installation. As with all
mechanical devices, engines need periodic part(s) service and replacement to perform well. This warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part(s) or engine.
Failures caused by any external cause or act of God, such as, collision, theft, vandalism, riot or wars, nuclear holocaust, fire, freezing, lightning, earthquake, windstorm, hail, volcanic eruption, water or flood, tornado or hurricane.
Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.
Any incidental, consequential, or indirect damages caused by defects in materials or workmanship, or any delay in repair or replace-
ment of the defective part(s).
Failure due to misapplication.
Telephone, telegraph, teletype or other communication expenses.
Living or travel expenses of person(s) performing service, except as specifically included within the terms of a specific unit warranty period.

Overnight freight costs for replacement part(s).
Overtime labor.
Starting batteries, fuses, light bulbs, and engine fluids.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
GENERAC’S ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PART(S), AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL GEN­ERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF GEN­ERAC’S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita­tion may not apply to you. Purchaser/owner agrees to make no claims against Generac based on negligence.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also may have other rights that vary from state to state.
