Generac 005802-0 User Manual

The positive battery wire was deliberately left detached for 

shipping. To operate the unit, attach this wire to the terminal on 

the battery. Do not overtighten. Slide the attached rubber boot over 
the battery post.

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled 

maintenance:
There will be a one time break in "CHG OIL" message that flashes 

with the elapsed time in hours and tenths after the first 30 hours 

of operation.
This message will actually begin flashing at 29 hours and disable 

itself at 31 hours providing a two hour window to perform the 

service.
There will be a subsequent "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours. 

The message will flash one hour before and one hour after each 

100 hour interval, again providing a two hour window to perform 

service.
Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of 

the display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and 

one hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window 

to perform service.
When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance 

message will always 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 resets itself.

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp 

push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each socket to power 120 Volt 

AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a combined 

2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only high quality, 

well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125 Volts at 20 

Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 

15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of 

wires.

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/

unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug 

and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts 

AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 4).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase 

loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps 

or 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring 6,500 to 8000 

watts of power, depending on the model. The outlet is protected by 

a 30 Amp circuit breaker.

Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 3-wire 

cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater) to the plug 

(Figure 5).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase 

loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps. 

The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.
