INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this model by Generac Power Systems, 
Inc. This model is a compact, high performance, air-cooled, 
engine driven generator designed to supply electrical power to 
operate electrical loads on job sites, or remote locations where 
no utility power is available or in place of utility due to a power 
outage.
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the 
nearest Authorized Dealer for starting, operating and servicing 
procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the 
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTICE blocks are 
used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular 
operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or 
carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as 
follows:
DANGER
    After this heading, read instructions that, if 
not strictly complied with, will result in serious 
personal injury, including death and/or property 
damage.
    After this heading, read instructions that, if not 
strictly complied with, may result in serious 
personal injury and/or property damage.
    After this heading, read instructions that, if not 
strictly complied with, could result in damage to 
equipment and/or property, and minor injury.
NOTICE:
    After this heading, read explanatory statements that require 
special emphasis and relate to property damage.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they 
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special 
instructions while performing the service are essential to preventing 
accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the 
DANGER
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information 
each indicates is as follows:
  This symbol points out important safety 
information that, if not followed, could endanger 
personal safety and/or property of others.
  This symbol points out potential explosion 
hazard.
  This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
  This symbol points out potential electrical shock 
hazard.
The operator is responsible for proper and safe use 
of the equipment. We strongly recommend that the 
operator read this manual and thoroughly understand 
all instructions before using the equipment.
We also strongly recommend instructing other users 
to properly start and operate the unit. This prepares 
them if they need to operate the equipment in an 
emergency.

MINUTES. Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a 
poison gas you cannot see or smell.
  NEVER use in the home, or in partly enclosed 
areas such as garages. ONLY use outdoors and 
far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an 
area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust 
gas.

DANGER
  Always disconnect the spark plug wire and 
place the wire where they cannot contact the 
spark plug to prevent accidental starting when 
setting up, transporting, adjusting or making 
repairs to the generator.
The generator produces dangerously high voltage that can 
• 
cause extremely hazardous electrical shock. Avoid contact with 
bare wires, terminals, etc. Never permit any unqualified person 
to operate or service the generator.
Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while 
• 
standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet. 
Dangerous electrical shock will result.
The National Electric Code requires the frame and external 
• 
electrically conductive parts of the generator be properly 
connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes 
may also require proper grounding of the generator. Consult 
with a local electrician for grounding requirements in the area.
Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical 
• 
cord sets with the generator.
Operate generator 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.
