WheelHouse™ 5500 Watt Generator
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

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.

• 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.

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.

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.
*Wattages listed are approximate only. Check tool or
appliance for actual wattage.

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.

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.

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.
