WARNINGS
Models: G5000S & G8000S
This owner’s manual is considered a permanent part of the generator
and should remain with the generator if resold. The information and
specifications included in this publication were in effect at the time of
approval for printing.
GXi Outdoor Power, LLC, reserves the right to discontinue or change
specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation whatever. No part of this publication may be reproduced without written permission.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems. The following instructions and procedures must
be followed in order to keep the emissions from your STANLEY engine
within the emission standards. Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any
engine repair establishment or individual, using parts that are
‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.
SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS
These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious
injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to
read, contact your STANLEY generator dealer for a replacement.
SAFETY INFORMATION
STANLEY generators are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your generator.
OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
Know how to stop the generator quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use of all generator controls, output receptacles, and connections. Be sure that anyone who operates the generator receives
proper instruction. Do not let children operate the generator.
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE GAS
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death. To keep exhaust gas from accumulating,
use in an area with adequate ventilation. DO NOT use this generator in a garage, basement, crawlspace, enclosed shed, or any
other area that does not have adequate ventilation. DO NOT use
this generator near ventilation ducts or open windows that may
allow exhaust
gasses to enter your home or business. ONLY
operate this generator outdoors.
DANGER
Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
• Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from buildings
and other equipment during operation.
• Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
• Do not smoke when refueling.
• Keep flammable materials away from the generator.
• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for
a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot.
• Let the engine cool before storing the generator indoors.
• Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
• Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the en-
gine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped
up before starting
the generator.
DANGER
Electocution hazard - Electricity can cause DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY.
• Do not operate the generator in standing water.
• This product is not safe to operate when partially or totally sub-
merged in water.
• Ensure proper drainage in the region surrounding this generator.
• Properly ground the generator and verify ground is in place be-
fore each use. Grounding regulations vary by location, consult a
qualified local electrician for proper grounding instructions.
• Power cords and electrical equipment pose a risk of shock and
electrocution, especially if they are operated in wet conditions.
Inspect all equipment prior to every use and use only as directed
by the manufacturer.
• Use a cord with GFCI protection when using the power outdoors
or when moisture is present.
• Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use of the
generator, inspect the generator as well as extension cords and
power supply cords connected to it for damage resulting from
vibration. Have damaged items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that show signs of damage such
as broken or cracked insulation or damaged blades.
NEVER START OR STOP THE ENGINE WITH DEVICES CONNECTED
TO THE GENERATOR.

WARNING
Generator must be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to transfer equipment as a separately derived system in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. The generator
shall be connected through transfer equipment that switches all
conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. The
frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding
electrode.
Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow
electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility
lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or
others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored.
Ground System
STANLEY portable generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
This generator does not meet US Coast Guard regulation 33 CFR-183
and should not be used on marine applications.

WARNINGS
Models: G5000S & G8000S
DANGER
AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
1. Make sure that appliances are in good working order.
Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for
electrical shock. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately.
2. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the
generator has been exceeded.
3. Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance
does not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the
maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 30
minutes.
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or
slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit
breaker or circuit protector OFF, but will shorten the service
life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. For
continuous operation (longer than 30 minutes), do not exceed
80% of the rated power balanced equally on the A&B sides of
the Alternator.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause serious injuries or death. Always follow
the inspection and maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner’s manual.
Safety Precautions:
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance
or repairs. This will eliminate several potential hazards:
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you
operate the engine.
• Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
• Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
In the State of California a spark arrestor is required by law.
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on all
federal lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrestor, it
must be maintained in effective working order. See page 11.
Rapid retraction of the recoil starter cord can pull the
starter cord back faster than you can let go. When starting
the engine, pull the cord slowly until resistance is felt then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback
.
DANGER
Changing the speed of the generator by adjusting the governor can cause damage to the generator, devices attached to the generator, and may result in bodily injury. Do not adjust or tamper
with the engine speed setting.
