Generac 005735-0 Manual Do Utilizador

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the generator 
helpline at 1-888-436-3722.

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and external 
electrically conductive parts of this generator be properly connected 
to an approved earth ground (Figure 14). Local electrical codes may 
also require proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, generally, 
connecting a No. 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to 
the grounding wing nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding 
rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical shock. 
However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician 
for grounding requirements in the area.

Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent electrical shock 
in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in connected 
electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, 
which often builds up in ungrounded devices.

DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles. DO NOT connect 
3-phase loads to the generator. DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the 
generator.

•  Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
•  Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 

Hz electrical loads.

•  Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at 

one time. This total should not be greater than (a) the rated wattage/
amperage capacity of the generator or (b) circuit breaker rating of the 
receptacle supplying the power. See "Don't Overload the Generator" 
below.

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can result 
in damage to the generator and to connected electrical devices. Observe 
the following to prevent overloading the unit:

•  Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected at one 

time. This total should NOT be greater than the generator's wattage 
capacity.

•  The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The rated 

wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a 
data label or decal affixed to the device.

•  If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply volts 

times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).

•  Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about three 

times more watts of power for starting than for running. This surge of 
power lasts only a few seconds when starting such motors. Make sure 
to allow for high starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to 
connect to the generator:

1.  Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
2.  Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected loads.

The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist in determining how 
many items the generator can operate at one time.
