Generac 005735-0 Manual Do Utilizador

•  Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from generator panel 

receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with electrical devices 
plugged in and turned on.

•  Turn “Off” the Idle Control switch (if on).
•  Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the internal 

temperatures of engine and generator.

•  Move Start/Run/Stop switch to “Off” position.
•  Close fuel valve.

This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When this switch 
is turned “On,” the engine will only run at its normal fast governed engine 
speed when electrical load is connected. When the load is removed, the 
engine will run at a reduced speed of 2100 RPM. With the switch “Off,” 
the engine runs at the normal fast engine speed all the time. Always have 
the switch OFF when starting and stopping the engine.

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40° F (4° C) and a 
high dew point), the engine may experience icing of the carburetor and/or 
the crankcase breather system. To eliminate this problem, this generator 
engine is fitted with a winter/summer valve. This directs hot air into the 
carburetor during cold weather operation. Always make sure the winter/
summer valve is in the correct location relative to the weather conditions.

The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that shuts down 
the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below 10 psi. If the 
engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check 
engine oil level.

A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil pressure to build 
during starting. The delay allows the engine to run for about 10 seconds 
before sensing oil pressure.

If the system senses low oil pressure during operation, the engine shuts 
down.

If trying to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts down, the 
engine may NOT start. The system needs five (5) to 10 seconds to reset.

If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil pressure 
has not been corrected, the engine will run for about 10 seconds as 
described above and then stop.

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen 
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will 
remain around the battery for a long time after 
it has been charged. The slightest spark can 
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion. Such 
an explosion can shatter the battery and cause 
blindness or other serious injury.

 Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks or 
any other source of heat around a battery. Wear 
protective goggles, rubber apron and rubber 
gloves when working around a battery. Battery 
electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric 
acid solution that can cause severe burns. If spill 
occurs flush area with clear water immediately. 

This generator has the capability of recharging a discharged 12 Volt 
automotive or utility style storage battery. Do not use the unit to charge 
any 6 Volt batteries. Do not use the unit to crank an engine having a 
discharged battery.

This battery charger is a pulse type designed to provide a quality charge 
current into the battery. The voltage measured at the outlet should be 8-12 
VDC. This is normal and does not indicate a faulty charging system.

•  Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled 

water to cover separators in battery cells. Do not use tap water.

•  If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed 

and are tight. 

•  If necessary, clean battery terminals. 
• Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel receptacle 

identified by the words "12-VOLT D.C."

•  Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) 

battery terminal.

•  Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to the negative 

(-) battery terminal.

•  Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges. Engine idle 

control switch must be in off position for battery charging.

•  When battery has charged, shut down engine.
