EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION

This generator is an engine–driven, revolving field,

alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to

supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical

lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads.

This manual contains information for a generator that

operates 120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz devices

that require up to 5,500 watts (5.5 kW) of power that pull

up to 45.8 Amps at 120 Volts or 22.9 Amps at 240 Volts.

CAUTION! Do Not exceed the generator’s

wattage/amperage capacity.Add up the rated watts of all

devices you are connecting to generator receptacles at one

time.This total should not be greater than 5,500 watts. See

“Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 9.

The generator’s revolving field is driven at about 3,600 rpm

by a single-cylinder engine.

Every effort has been made to ensure that information in

this manual is accurate and current. However, Generac

reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the

product and this document at any time without prior

notice.

CAUTION! Do Not tamper with engine

governed speed. High operating speeds are

dangerous and increase risk of personal injury or

damage to equipment.The generator supplies

correct rated frequency and voltage only when

running at proper governed speed. Incorrect

frequency and/or voltage can damage some

connected electrical loads. Operating at excessively

low speeds imposes a heavy load.When adequate

engine power is not available engine life may be

shortened.

The Emission Control System for this generator is

warranted for standards set by the Environmental

Protection Agency. For warranty information refer to the

engine owner’s manual.

SAFETY RULES

This generator set was designed and manufactured for

specific applications. Do Not attempt to modify the unit or

use it for any application it was not designed for. If you have

any questions about your generator’s application, ask your

dealer or consult the factory.

The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every

circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that reason

warnings in the manual and warnings on tags or decals

affixed to the unit are not all–inclusive. If you intend to

handle, operate or service the unit by a procedure or

method not specifically recommended by the manufacturer,

first make sure that such a procedure or method will not

render this equipment unsafe or pose a threat to you and

others.

Read this manual carefully and become familiar

with your generator set. Know its applications, its

limitations and any hazards involved.

WARNING! You must isolate the generator

from the electric utility using approved transfer

equipment if this unit is used for backup power.

Failure to isolate the generator from the

power utility may result in injury or death to

electric utility workers and damage to the

generator due to a backfeed of electrical energy.

Whenever the unit is providing backup power, the

electric utility must be notified.

DANGER! Generator exhaust gases contain

DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. If breathed in

sufficient concentrations, carbon monoxide

can cause unconsciousness or death. Operate

this equipment outdoors where adequate ventilation

is available.

The engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer, birth defects,

or other reproductive harm.

WARNING:

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.

Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WheelHouse™ 5500 Watt Generator

• The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can

cause serious injury or death by electrocution. Never

touch bare wires or receptacles. Never permit a child or

any unqualified person to operate the generator.

• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while

standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet

are wet. Death or serious injury from electrocution may

result.

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp

or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or steel

work).

• Never use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged

electrical cords with the generator. Death, serious injury

and property damage from electrical shock may result.

• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are

EXPLOSIVE. Never allow 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 a FIRE or an

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 an EXPLOSION may result.

• The unit 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.

Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator,

even while operating unit outdoors, or you could damage

the unit.

• Never start or stop the unit with electrical loads

connected to receptacles 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.You could damage the unit or injure yourself.

• Never operate the generator:

in rain; in any enclosed compartment; when connected

electrical devices overheat; if electrical output is lost; if

engine or generator sparks; if flame or smoke is observed

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 end (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.

• Insert handle pins, if equipped (P/N B4135).

• Hand tighten knobs.

Add Oil

CAUTION! Any attempt to crank or start the engine

before it has been properly filled with the recommended

oil may result in an engine failure.

To fill your engine with oil:

• Place generator on a level surface.

• Use a long neck funnel OR remove the fuel tank as

described in “Fuel Tank”, when adding or changing oil.

• Follow the oil grade recommendations and oil fill

instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a

prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no

additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

Add Gasoline

WARNING! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never

fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot.Allow unit

to cool for two minutes before refueling. Do Not

light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.

WARNING! Do Not overfill the fuel tank. See

decal on tank.

• Use fresh, clean regular UNLEADED gasoline. Do Not

use premium gasoline. Do Not mix oil with gasoline.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank.

• Clean area around fuel fill and remove fuel cap/gauge.

• Slowly add gasoline to fuel tank.Allow about 1.5" of tank

space for fuel expansion (Figure 2).

• Install fuel cap and permit any spilled gasoline to

evaporate.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits

from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the

carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Be

sure to review “Storage” on page 11.

Fuel Tank

As is common with all plastic fuel containers, the

removable fuel tank supplied with this generator may swell

or expand due to build-up of fuel vapors when the vent

knob is closed.This tank is designed and has been tested to

safely withstand pressure-buildup.The 'ballooning' condition

is relieved by turning the vent knob fully counterclockwise

or loosening and retightening the fuel cap/gauge.When

installing the tank on your generator, relieve tank pressure

before tightening the four large plastic wing nuts.

IMPORTANT: The vent knob should be closed whenever

you move the generator or transport the fuel tank.

1. Turn the vent knob fully clockwise on the fuel gauge to

close it (Figure 3).

2. Turn the fuel shut off valve to the “Off” position

(Figure 4).

3. Disconnect the quick connect on the fuel line by

pushing on the metal tab and twisting apart (Figure 5).

Release the metal tab. Some fuel that is left in the line

will spill out.

4. Remove the four large plastic wing nuts holding the

tank onto the frame by turning them counter-

clockwise (Figure 6).

5. Lift off the fuel tank by grasping the handle (provided

on the tank) with one hand and putting the other hand

in the finger pocket (Figure 7). Lift the tank straight up.

IMPORTANT: The fuel tank MUST be filled with it lying

flat, not slanted or standing upright (Figure 8). Do Not let

the fuel valve and quick connect come in contact with any

dirt.

To place the fuel tank back on the unit, follow these same

steps in reverse order.

IMPORTANT: Remove any dirt found inside the quick

connect before putting the fuel tank back on the unit.

Make sure the vent knob is turned fully counter-

clockwise to open it. If you don’t open it, fuel will not

flow into the fuel line causing the unit to not start.

RECEPTACLES

The control panel is equipped with a flip-up panel to keep

the outlets clean and protected.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex

Receptacle

Each receptacle (Figure 11) is protected against overload

by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase,

60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)

at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for

125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).

120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking

Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a

4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps

(or greater) (Figure 12).You can use the same 4–wire cord

if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single

phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts of power at

30 Amps for 120 Volts; 5,500 watts of power (5.5 kW) at

22.9 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a

push–to–reset circuit breaker.

CAUTION! Although this outlet is rated for

120/240 Volt 30 Amp (up to 7,200 watts), the

generator is only rated for 5,500 watts. Powering

loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of

the generator can damage it or cause serious

injuries. 240 Volt loads powered through this outlet

should not exceed 22.9 Amps of current draw.

DON'T OVERLOAD YOUR

GENERATOR

Capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enough

rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you

will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.

2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This is

the amount of power your generator must produce to

keep your items running. See Figure 13.

3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will

need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power

needed to start electric motor-driven tools or

appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator.

Because not all motors start at the same time, total

surge watts can be estimated by adding only the

item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the

total rated watts from step 2.

Example:

Total Rated (Running) Watts = 3075

Highest Additional Surge Watts = 1800

Total Generator Output Required = 4875

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices,

it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to

your generator.There should be nothing connected to the

generator outlets before starting it's engine.The correct

and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially

add loads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the

engine as described in this manual.

2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest

load you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs

smoothly and attached device operates properly.

4. Plug in and turn on the next load.

5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

Never add more loads than the generator capacity.Take

special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity,

as described above.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that

all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely

basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit

is kept clean and properly stored. Never operate a

damaged or defective generator.

Engine Maintenance

See engine owner’s manual for instructions.

CAUTION! Avoid prolonged or repeated skin

contact with used motor oil. Used motor oil has

been shown to cause skin cancer in certain

laboratory animals.Thoroughly wash exposed areas

with soap and water.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T

POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN

USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.

Generator Maintenance

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean

and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry

environment where it will not be exposed to excessive

dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air

slots in the generator must not become clogged with

snow, leaves or any other foreign material.

NOTE: Do Not use a garden hose to clean generator.

Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In

addition, if water enters generator through cooling air

slots, some of the water will be retained in voids and

cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation.Water

and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will

eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these

windings.

To Clean the Generator

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

• A soft bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt

or oil.

• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and

debris.

• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to

blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on

generator.These openings must be kept clean and

unobstructed.

WheelHouse™ 5500 Watt Generator

STORAGE

The generator should be started at least once every seven

days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot

be done and you must store the unit for more than

30 days, use the following guidelines to prepare it for

storage.

Generator Storage

• Clean the generator as outlined in “To Clean the

Generator.”

• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator

are open and unobstructed.

CAUTION! Storage covers can be flammable.

Do Not place a storage cover over a hot

generator. Let the unit cool for a sufficient time

before placing the cover on the unit.

Engine Storage

See engine owner’s manual for instructions.

Other Storage Tips

• Always store unit with fuel shut off valve in the “Off”

WheelHouse™ 5500 Watt Generator

NOTES

WheelHouse™ 5500 Watt Générateur

DESCRIPTION DE L ÉQUIPEMENT

Ce générateur est un générateur entraîné par un moteur à champ

magnétique rotatif produisant du courant alternatif (c.a.). Il a été

conçu pour fournir du courant électrique pour faire marcher des

charges compatibles d'éclairage, d'appareils ménagers, d'outil et de

moteur.

Ce manuel contient des informations sur un générateur qui fait

marcher des appareils de 120 et/ou 240 Volts, monophasés,

60 Hertz nécessitant jusqu'à 5,500 watts (5,5 kW) de puissance

qui tirent jusqu'à 45,8 Ampères à 120 Volts ou 22,9 Ampères à

240 Volts.

ATTENTION! Ne Pas dépasser la capacité en watts ou en

ampères du générateur.Ajoutez les watts de tous les appareils que

vous branchez aux prises du générateur en même temps. Ce total

ne doit pas être supérieur à 5,500 watts pour ce générateur.Voir

"Ne Pas Surcharger le Générateur" sur la page 27 pour

l'information spécifique.

Le champ tournant du générateur est entraîné à 3600 T/M par un

moteur monocylindrique.

Tout a été mis en oeuvre pour que les informations contenues

dans ce manuel soient exactes et à jour. Cependant, Generac se

réserve le droit de changer, d'altérer ou d'améliorer le produit à

n'importe quel moment sans avis préalable.

ATTENTION! Ne Pas toucher à la vitesse préréglée

du moteur. Des vitesses élevées d'opération sont

dangereuses et augmentent le risque de blessures

personnelles ou d'endommagement de l'équipement. Le

générateur ne fournit une fréquence et un voltage

corrects que lorsque le moteur tourne à la vitesse

préréglée correcte. Une fréquence et/ou un voltage

incorrect peut endommager certaines charges électriques

branchées. Le fait de faire marcher l'appareil à des vitesses

plus lentes que celle qui est prévue impose une lourde

charge au moteur, lorsque la puissance adéquate du

moteur n'est pas disponible et cela peut raccourcir la

durée de vie du moteur.

Le Système de contrôle de l'émission du générateur est garanti

pour des normes établies par L'Agence de protection de

l'environnement. Pour des informations sur la garantie, se reporter

au manuel du moteur.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ

avertissements qui se trouvent dans le manuel et ceux qui sont

collés sur la machine ne sont pas exhaustifs. Si vous avez

l'intention de manipuler, de faire marcher ou de réparer cet

appareil selon des procédures ou des méthodes qui ne sont pas

spécialement recommandées par le fabricant, il faut vous assurer

d'abord que ces procédures et ces méthodes ne risquent pas de

rendre l'appareil dangereux ou posent un danger à vous ou aux

autres.

Lisez avec soin ce manuel et familiarisez-vous avec votre

générateur. Connaissez ses applications, ses limitations et

les dangers qu'il implique.

AVERTISSEMENT! Vous devez isoler le générateur

homologué, au cas où vous utiliseriez cette unité pour une

alimentation de secours. Le manquement à isoler le

générateur de l'installation électrique, risque de

provoquer des blessures ou même d'être fatal pour

les ouvriers et de causer des dommages au

générateur dus à un backfeed d'énergie électrique. Les

services publics d'électricité doivent être avisés si l'unité

produit de l'énergie de secours.

DANGER! Le générateur épuise des gaz

contiennent le gaz de monoxide de carbone

MORTEL. Si a aspiré suffisant concentrations,

carbone peut causer unconsciousness ou mort.

Ceci opérer l'équipement extérieur où ventilation suffisant

est disponible.

L’échappement du moteur de ce produit contient des produits

chimiques que l’État de Californie considère comme causant le

cancer, des déformations à la naissance ou d’autres dangers

concernant la reproduction.
