Generac 004709-0 Manual De Usuario

The generator covered by this manual produces dangerous 

• 

electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid 

contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., while the 

unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and bar-

riers are in place before operating the generator. If work must 

be done around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry 

surface to reduce shock hazard.

Do not handle any kind of electrical device while stand-

• 

ing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. 

DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.

During installation onto the vehicle, have the generator prop-

• 

erly grounded (bonded) either by solid mounting to the vehicle 

frame or chassis, or by means of an approved bonding conduc-

tor. DO NOT disconnect the bonding conductor, if so equipped. 

DO NOT reconnect the bonding conductor to any generator part 

that might be removed or disassembled during routine mainte-

nance. If the grounding conductor must be replaced, use only a 

flexible conductor that is of No. 8 American Wire Gauge (AWG) 

copper wire minimum.

In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately 

• 

shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not pos-

sible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID 

DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting 

implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the 

live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and 

get immediate medical help.

Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry 

• 

can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get 

caught in moving components causing injury.

For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained 

• 

properly. Installation always must comply with applicable 

codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, 

state and national electrical and building codes. Comply with 

regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 

(OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is 

installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions 

and recommendations. Following proper installation, do noth-

ing that might alter a safe installation and render the unit in 

noncompliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, 

laws and regulations.

Keep a fire extinguisher in the vehicle at all times. Extinguishers 

• 

rated “ABC” by the National Fire Protection Association are 

appropriate for use on the recreational vehicle generator electrical 

system. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar 

with its use. If there are any questions pertaining to fire extin-

guishers, consult the local fire department.

Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills 

• 

immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the 

generator compartment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or 

EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator 

clean and free from debris.

Gasoline is extremely FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE. 

• 

Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks or any source of 

heat in the vicinity while handling gasoline. Comply with all laws 

governing the storage and handling of gasoline.

Engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known 

to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects 

and other reproductive harm.

This product contains or emits chemicals known to the 

State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and 

other reproductive harm.
