the engine and let it stabilize before connecting electrical
loads. Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting down the
generator.
Introduction
Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.
When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times.
Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally
fatigued.
Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping
on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in
dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases,
fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
NOTE:
This generator is equipped with a spark arrestor muffler. The
spark arrestor must be maintained in effective working order
by the owner/ operator. In the State of California, a spark
arrestor is required by law (Section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws.
Federal laws apply on federal lands.
EXHAUST & LOCATION HAZARDS
Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in
the home, or in partly enclosed areas such as garages, even
if doors and windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and far
from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will not
accumulate deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
you cannot see or smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air
is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the
installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the
generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing
that might render the exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
Always use a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors,
installed according to the manufacturers instructions.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor, as
you could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
The generator produces dangerously high voltage when in
operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections,
etc., while the unit is running, even on equipment connected
to the generator. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and
barriers are in place before operating 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 MAY RESULT.
The National Electric Code (NEC) 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.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or highly
conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).
Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical
cord sets with the generator.
Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect
the engine starting battery (if equipped) to prevent accidental
start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated
by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.
In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut
down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,
attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting
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.
FIRE HAZARDS
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE• .
Do not permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinity while handling gasoline.
Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engine to cool
completely before adding fuel.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. 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 over-filled, fuel can overflow onto a hot
engine and cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION. Never store generator
with fuel in tank where gasoline vapors might reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater or
clothes dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Allow unit to
cool entirely before storage.
Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no
combustible materials are left on or near the generator. Keep the
area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris and
keep a clearance of five (5) feet on all side to allow for proper
ventilation of the generator.
Do not insert objects through unit’s cooling slots.
Do not operate the generator if connected electrical devices
overheat, if electrical output is lost, if engine or generator sparks
or if flames or smoke are observed while unit is running.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times.

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 14 Amp circuit
breaker (Figure 7). 14 Amps of current may be drawn from each socket,
however, total power drawn must be kept within data plate ratings. Use
only high quality, well insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125
Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
2.2.2 120/240 VAC, 20A TWISTLOCK RECEPTACLE
This is a 120/240 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 14
Amp circuit breaker (Figure 7). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded
cord set to the plug and to the desired load. The cord set should
be rated for 250 volts at 20 amps (or greater) if the 120/240
receptacle is used along with 120 volt receptacle. The total load
drawn must not exceed the data label ratings.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with circuit breakers. If amperage rating of any circuit
breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical output
to that receptacle is lost. Read “Don’t Overload the Generator”
carefully.

2.3.1 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 (Figure 8).
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. For that purpose, connecting a No. 10 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides
adequate protection against electrical shock. However, local codes
may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding
requirements in the area.
Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent electrical
shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator
or in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded
devices.
Figure 8 - Grounding the Generator

2.3.2 CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS
DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles. DO NOT
connect 3-phase loads to the generator. DO NOT connect 50 Hz
loads to the generator.
Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60
Hz electrical loads.
Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at
one time. This total should not be greater than (a) the rated wattage/
amperage capacity of the generator or (b) circuit breaker rating of the
receptacle supplying the power. See "Don't Overload the Generator".
2.4 DON’T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity
can result in damage to the generator and to connected electrical
devices. Observe the following to prevent overloading the unit:
Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected
at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the
generator's wattage capacity.
The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The
rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be
found on a data label or decal affixed to the device.
If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage, multiply
volts times ampere rating to determine watts (volts x amps =
watts).
Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about
three times more watts of power for starting than for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting
such motors. Make sure to allow for high starting wattage when
selecting electrical devices to connect to the generator:
1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
The Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist in determining how
many items the generator can operate at one time.
NOTICE:
All figures are approximate. See data label on appliance for
wattage requirements.

Check engine oil level before starting each time thereafter.
Figure 9 - Dipstick
2.6.2 ADDING GASOLINE
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its
vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Never fill fuel tank
indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine
is running or hot. Allow engine to cool
entirely before filling fuel tank. Avoid spilling
gasoline on HOT engine. DO NOT light a
cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
n
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave
room for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is
overfilled, fuel can overflow onto a HOT
engine and cause FIRE or EXPLOSION.
Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator engine. Do
not use any gasoline with more than 10% added Ethanol, and
never use E85 gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

Fuel
Fuel Tank
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank
during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol
or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. See the "Storage" section. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank as permanent damage may
occur.

3.2.3 EMISSION INFORMATION
The Environmental Protection Agency requires that this generator
comply with exhaust emission standards. The generator is
certified to meet the applicable EPA emission levels. It is important
that you follow the maintenance specifications provided in this
manual to ensure that your engine complies with the applicable
emission standards for the duration of the engine's life. This engine
is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control system on
your generator consists of the following:
Fuel Metering System Ignition System
~ Carburetor ~ Spark Plug
~ Fuel Lines ~ Ignition Coil
Air Induction System
~ Intake Pipe/Manifold
~ Air Cleaner
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions
Compliance label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet Federal Emissions
requirements.
3.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty of the generator does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the generator as
instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain the generator.
All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this manual should
be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the
"Maintenance Schedule".
NOTICE:
Once a year replace the spark plug and replace the air filter.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper fuel-air
mixture and help the engine run better and last longer.
3.3.1 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.
Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on
its exterior surface.
n
Never insert any object or tool through the
air cooling slots, even if the engine is not
running.
NOTICE:
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter
the engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water
enters the generator through cooling air slots, some water will
be retained in voids and crevices 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.
3.3.2 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, oil,
etc.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and
debris.

blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings
on the generator. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
3.3.3 ENGINE MAINTENANCE

When working on the generator, always
disconnect the spark plug wire from spark
plug and keep wire away from spark plug.
3.3.4 CHECKING OIL LEVEL
See the “Before Starting the Generator” section for information on
checking the oil level. The oil level should be checked before each
use, or at least every eight hours of operation. Keep the oil level
maintained (Figure 9).
3.3.5 CHANGING THE OIL
Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 50
hours thereafter. If running this unit under dirty or dusty conditions,
or in extremely hot weather, change the oil more often.
n

cool before draining oil. Avoid prolonged
or repeated skin exposure with used oil.
Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap.
Use the following instructions to change the oil while the engine
is still warm:
Clean area around oil drain plug (Figure 12).
Remove oil drain plug from engine and oil fill plug to drain oil
completely into a suitable container.
When oil has completely drained, install oil drain plug and
tighten securely.
Fill engine with recommended oil. (See “Before Starting the
Generator” for oil recommendations).
Wipe up any spilled oil.
Dispose of used oil at a proper collection center.

correctly gapped spark plug into the cylinder head and torque
to 15 ft/lbs. (Figure 13).
Figure 13 - Spark Plug Gap
3.3.7 SPARK ARRESTOR
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect
and clean the screen at least once each year (Figure 14). If unit is
used regularly, inspect and clean more often.
NOTICE:
If using the generator on any forest-covered, brush-covered
or grass-covered unimproved land, it must equipped with a
spark arrestor. The spark arrestor must be maintained in good
condition by the owner/operator.
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:
Remove clamp and spark arrestor from muffler.
Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise
damaged. DO NOT USE a defective screen. If screen is not
damaged, clean it with commercial solvent.
Replace the spark arrestor and clamp.
Figure 14 - Spark Arrestor
3.4 SERVICE AIR FILTER
The engine will not run properly and may be damaged if using a
dirty air filter. Clean the air filter every 25 hours (Figure 15). Clean
or replace more often if operating under dusty conditions.

3.5 VALVE CLEARANCE
Intake — 0.10 ± 0.02mm (cold), (0.004" ± 0.0008" inches)
Exhaust — 0.15 ± 0.02mm (cold) (0.006" ± 0.0008" inches)
After the first 50 hours of operation, check the valve clearance
in the engine and adjust if necessary.
Important: If feeling uncomfortable about doing this procedure or
the proper tools are not available, please take the generator to the
nearest service center to have the valve clearance adjusted. This is
a very important step to ensure longest life for the engine.
3.6 GENERAL
The generator should be started at least once every seven days
and be allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done
and the unit must be stored for more than 30 days, use the
following information as a guide to prepare it for storage.
NEVER store engine with fuel in tank indoors
or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas where
fumes may reach an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
3.7 LONG TERM STORAGE
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage of 30 days or longer, as follows:
Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame. Be sure engine is
cool. Do not smoke near fuel.
Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with
recommended grade.
Remove spark plugs and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of
engine oil into the cylinders. Cover spark plug hole with rag.
Pull the recoil starter a couple times to lubricate the piston rings
and cylinder bore.
n
Avoid spray from spark plug holes when
cranking engine.
Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect spark plug
wires.
Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air slots
and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.
Store the unit in a clean, dry place.
3.8 OTHER STORAGE TIPS
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in
the gasoline will cause problems with the carburetor and fuel
system.
If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection
from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to
be stored for some time, use a commercially available fuel
stabilizer added to the gasoline to increase the life of the
gasoline.
Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture.
n
NEVER cover the generator while engine and
exhaust area are warm.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO THE
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Any implied warranties allowed by law shall be limited in duration to the terms of the express warranty
provided herein. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. GENERAC’S ONLY LIABILITY
SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PART(S) AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC’S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also have other rights from state to state.
