while tower is up.

Service Safety

This unit uses high voltage circuits capable of causing

serious injury or death. Only a qualified and licensed

electrician should troubleshoot or repair problems

occurring in this equipment.

•

Before servicing the unit, verify the Control Power

switch and circuit breakers are in the OFF (O)

position, and the negative (-) terminal on the battery

is disconnected.

DO NOT

perform even routine

service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all

electrical components are shut down.

use extreme caution when servicing this

unit in damp conditions. Do not service the unit if your

skin or clothing is wet. Do not allow water to collect

around the base of the unit.

•

DO NOT

wash the unit with high pressure hoses,

power washers, or steam cleaners. Water may

Introduction and Safety

Towing Safety

Towing a trailer requires care. Both the trailer and vehicle

must be in good condition and securely fastened to each

other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Some states

require that large trailers be registered and licensed.

Contact your local Department of Transportation office to

check on license requirements for your particular unit.

Hitch and Coupling

•Verify the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle

are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

•Verify the trailer hitch and the coupling are

compatible. Make sure the coupling is securely

fastened to the vehicle.

•DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect

the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.

•Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under

the tongue.

•Before towing the trailer, verify that the weight of

the trailer is equal across all tires. On trailers with

adjustable height hitches, adjust the angle of the

trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as

possible.

•Attach the breakaway cable to the rear bumper of

the towing vehicle.

Running Lights

Verify directional and brake lights on the trailer are

connected and working properly

Wheels and Tires

•Check trailer tires for wear and proper inflation.

•Verify wheel lug nuts are present and tightened to

the specified torque.

Safe Towing Techniques

•Practice turning, stopping and backing up in an

area away from heavy traffic prior to transporting

the unit.

•Maximum recommended speed for highway towing

is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road

towing speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less,

depending on terrain.

•When towing, maintain extra space between

vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and

sudden lane changes.

Reporting Trailer Safety Defects

If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause

a crash or could cause injury or death, you should

immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Generac

Mobile.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an

investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a

group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy

campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in

an individual problem between you, your dealer, or

Generac Mobile.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety

Hotlinetoll-freeat1-888-327-4236(TTY:1-800-424-9153),

go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to:
