installation personnel are familiar with the proce-
dures for installing such products, or similar prod-
ucts that Generac manufactures. Generac also
assumes that personnel have been trained in the rec-
ommended installation procedures for these prod-

mon hand tools, (b) use of special Generac tools, and
(c) use of any tools and/or equipment from other sup-
pliers.
Generac cannot possibly know of and advise the
recreational vehicle trade of all conceivable methods,
procedures or techniques by which to perform an
installation. Nor can Generac anticipate every possi-
ble hazard that might result from each installation
method, procedure or technique. Generac has not
undertaken any such wide evaluation. Therefore,
people who use a method, procedure or technique
that Generac does not specifically recommend must
first completely satisfy themselves that their safety,
the safety of the vehicle's occupants and the product's
safety is not endangered by the method, procedure or
technique selected.
Information, illustrations, specifications, etc., con-
tained in these Installation Instructions are based on

GENERAL HAZARDS
• For safety reasons, Generac recommends
that the installation, initial start-up and mainte-
nance of this equipment is carried out by a
Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
nance of this equipment is carried out by a
Generac Authorized Service Dealer.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox-
ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if
breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death. This exhaust sys-
tem must be installed properly, in strict compli-
ance with applicable codes and standards.
Following installation, you must do nothing that
might render the system unsafe or in noncompli-
ance with such codes and standards. The genera-
tor compartment must be completely vapor sealed
from the vehicle interior. There must be no possi-
bility of exhaust fumes entering the vehicle interi-
or. Never operate this equipment with a leaking or
defective exhaust system.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-
lating air is critical to correct generator operation
and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel
vapors from the generator compartment. Without
sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator
quickly overheats, which causes serious damage to
the generator. Do not alter the installation or per-
mit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,
as this can seriously affect safe operation of the
generator.
