Generac Portable Products PP5000T Generator

Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise

damaged electrical cord sets with the generator.

Using a defective cord set may result in electrical

shock or damage to equipment and/or property.

Operate unit only on level surfaces and where it will

not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or

corrosive vapors.

Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are

EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open flames,

sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling

gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine.

Comply with all laws regulating storage and

handling of gasoline.

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for

fuel expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can overflow

onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or EXPLOSION.

Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where

gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark

or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater, clothes

dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may result.

Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon

monoxide gas. This dangerous gas, if breathed in

sufficient concentrations, can cause

unconsciousness or even death. Operate this

equipment only in the open air where adequate

ventilation is available.

The engine-generator requires an adequate flow of

cooling air for its continued proper operation. Never

operate the unit inside any room or enclosure

where the free flow of cooling air into and out of the

unit might be obstructed. Without sufficient cooling

air flow, the unit quickly overheats, damaging the

generator or nearby property.

Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of

generator, even while operating unit outdoors, or

you could damage the unit. However, when

operating unit in cold weather, refer to the Cold

Weather Operation section on page 7.

Never start or stop the engine-generator with

electrical loads connected to receptacles AND with

the connected devices turned ON. Start the engine

and let it stabilize before connecting any electrical

loads. Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting

down the generator.

Do not insert any object through cooling slots of the

engine-generator. You could damage the unit or

injure yourself.

Never operate the generator: in the rain; in any

enclosed compartment; if connected electrical

devices overheat; if electrical output is lost; if

engine or generator sparks; if flame/smoke is seen

while unit is running; if unit vibrates excessively.

GROUNDING THE

GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame

and external electrically conductive parts of this

generator be properly connected to an approved

earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require

proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, a

GROUNDING WING NUT is provided on the

generator (Figure 1).

Generally, connecting a No. 12 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. Be careful to keep the grounding

wire attached after connecting the stranded copper

wire. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult

with a local electrician for grounding requirements in

your area.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent

electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists in the

generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper

grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which

often builds up in ungrounded devices.
