THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN

WAS BASED ON MACHINES IN PRODUC-

TION AT THE TIME OF PUBLICATION. GEN-

ERAC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY

THIS MANUAL AT ANY TIME.

Safety Rules

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every

possible circumstance that might involve a

hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on

tags and decals affixed to the unit are, there-

fore, not all inclusive. If using a procedure,

work method or operating technique that the

manufacturer does not specifically recom-

mend, verify that it is safe for others. Also

make sure the procedure, work method or

operating technique utilized does not render

the equipment unsafe.

Throughout this publication, and on tags and

decals affixed to the generator, DANGER,

WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are

used to alert personnel to special instructions

about a particular operation that may be haz-

ardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly.

Observe them carefully. Their definitions are

as follows:

NOTE: Notes contain additional informa-

tion important to a procedure and will be

found within the regular text of this man-

ual.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the

hazards that they indicate. Common sense

and strict compliance with the special instruc-

tions while performing the action or service

are essential to preventing accidents.

Safety Symbols and Meanings

000657

DANGER

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is

a poison you cannot see or smell.

NEVER use inside a home

or garage, EVEN IF doors

and windows are open.

Only use OUTSIDE and

far away from windows,

doors, and vents.

(000103)

DANGER

Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon

monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.

Carbon monoxide, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

(000104)

DANGER

Electrocution. Water contact with a power source,

if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

2 Operator’s Manual for Portable Generator

• For safety reasons, it is recommended that

the maintenance of this equipment be per-

formed by an Authorized Service Facility.

Inspect the generator regularly, and contact

the nearest Authorized Dealer for parts

needing repair or replacement.

• Operate generator only on level surfaces

and where it will not be exposed to exces-

sive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.

• When working on this equipment, remain

alert at all times.

• Never work on the equipment when physi-

cally or mentally fatigued.

• 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 danger-

ous operating conditions from leaking

exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage,

etc.

Exhaust and Location Hazards

• This exhaust system must be properly

maintained. Do nothing that might render

the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompli-

ance with any local codes and/or stan-

dards.

• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after

the generator has been running, move to

fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as

you could have carbon monoxide poison-

ing.

Electrical Hazards

• The National Electric Code (NEC) requires

the frame and external electrically conduc-

tive parts of the generator be properly con-

nected to an approved earth ground. Local

electrical codes may also require proper

grounding of the generator. Consult with a

local electrician for grounding requirements

in the area.

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any

damp or highly conductive area (such as

metal decking or steel work).

(000116)

DANGER

Electrocution. Turn utility and emergency

power supplies to OFF before connecting power

source and load lines. Failure to do so will result

in death or serious injury.

(000111)

WARNING

Moving Parts. Keep clothing, hair, and appendages

away from moving parts. Failure to do so could

result in death or serious injury.

(000108)

WARNING

Hot Surfaces. When operting machine, do not

touch hot surfaces. Keep machine away from

combustables during use. Hot surfaces

could result in severe burns or fire.

(000146)

WARNING

Equipment and property damage. Do not alter

construction of, installation, or block ventilation for

generator. Failure to do so could result in unsafe

operation or damage to the generator.

(000142)

Do not insert any object through the air cooling slots.

Generator can start at any time and could result in

death, serious injury and unit damage.

WARNING

(000107)

WARNING

Hearing Loss. Hearing protection is recommended

when using this machine. Failure to wear hearing

protection could result in permanent hearing loss.

(000103)

DANGER

Asphyxiation. Running engines produce carbon

monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.

Carbon monoxide, if not avoided,

will result in death or serious injury.

(000146)

WARNING

Equipment and property damage. Do not alter

construction of, installation, or block ventilation for

generator. Failure to do so could result in unsafe

operation or damage to the generator.

(000178a)

Asphyxiation. Always use a battery operated carbon

monoxide alarm indoors and installed according to

the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could

result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

(000144)

DANGER

Electrocution. Contact with bare wires, terminals,

and connections while generator is running will

result in death or serious injury.

(000104)

DANGER

Electrocution. Water contact with a power source,

if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

(000145)

DANGER

immediately shut power OFF. Use non-conductive

implements to free victim from live conductor. Apply

first aid and get medical help. Failure to do so will

result in death or serious injury.

Operator’s Manual for Portable Generator 3

Fire Hazards

• Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately.

Verify that no combustible materials are left

on or near the generator. Keep the area

surrounding the generator clean and free

from debris and keep a clearance of five (5)

feet on all sides to allow for proper ventila-

tion of the generator.

• Do not operate the generator if connected

electrical devices overheat, if electrical out-

put is lost, if engine or generator sparks or if

flames or smoke are observed while unit is

running.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator

at all times.

of federal and/or local laws. To ensure the

engine complies with applicable emission

standards for the duration of the engine’s life,

it is important to follow the maintenance speci-

fications in Maintenance Section. Tampering

with or altering the emission control sys-

tem may increase emissions and may be a

violation of Federal or California Law.

Hour Meter

The Hour Meter tracks hours of operation for

scheduled maintenance. See Figure 2-4.

• The CHG OIL display will illuminate every

100 hours. The message will flash one hour

before and one hour after each 100 hour

interval, providing a two hour window to

perform service.

• The SVC display will illuminate every 100

hours. The message will flash one hour

before and one hour after each 200 hour

interval providing a two hour window to per-

form service.

Figure 2-4. Hour Meter

When the hour meter is in flash alert mode,

the maintenance message will alternate with

elapsed time in hours and tenths. The hours

will flash four times, then alternate with the

maintenance message four times until the

meter automatically resets.

• 100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Inter-

val (Every 100 hrs)

• 200 hours - SVC — Service Air Filter

(Every 200 hrs)

NOTE: The hour glass icon will flash when

the engine is running. This signifies the

meter is recording hours of operation.
