pre–installed except for the negative (black) battery cable.
To install:
• Cut off tie wrap securing loose end of negative (black)
cable.
• Remove nut and washer on the negative battery
terminal.
• Slide the negative battery cable over the screw on the
negative terminal (Figure 1).
• Reattach washer and nut and tighten.
• Verify that the connections to the battery and generator
are correct and secure.
BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
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.
• 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 Fuel
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.
Always allow room for fuel expansion.
• Use regular UNLEADED fuel with the generator
engine. DO NOT use premium fuel. DO NOT mix oil
with fuel.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Slowly add unleaded regular fuel to fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfill.Allow about 1/2" of tank space for fuel
expansion (Figure 2).
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
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.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 fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while
in storage. Be sure to review the precautions given in
“Storage” on page 12.
NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

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 3).
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, especially when the unit is
equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in
ungrounded devices.
OPERATING THE
GENERATOR
CAUTION! NEVER start or stop unit with
electrical loads connected AND with the connected
devices turned ON.
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the battery float charger
before starting the generator.

removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With
the switch off, the engine will run at the normal high
engine speed. Always have the switch off when
starting and stopping the engine.
Charging a Battery
WARNING! Storage batteries give off explosive
hydrogen gas while recharging.An explosive mixture
will remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged.The slightest spark can ignite
the hydrogen and cause an explosion, resulting in
blindness or other serious injury.
WARNING! DO NOT permit smoking, open
flame, sparks or any other source of heat around a
battery.Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic
sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. If
spill occurs flush area with clear water immediately.
Your generator has the capability of recharging a
discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage
battery. DO NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt
batteries. DO NOT use the unit to crank an engine having
a discharged battery.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
• Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT use tap water.
• If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they
are installed and are tight.
• If necessary, clean battery terminals.
• Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel
receptacle identified by the words “12-VOLTS D.C.”.
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to
the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 8).

7000EXL Extended Life Generator
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle
to the negative (–) battery terminal (Figure 8).
• Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges.
• When battery has charged, shut down engine.
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state
of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity
of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may
experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase
breather system.
Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top
of the generator.
• Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed.
Note that your generator may appear different from that
shown in Figure 9.
• Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object.
• Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
• Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent problems.
CAUTION! NEVER run unit indoors. DO NOT
enclose generator any more than shown. Remove
generator from shelter when temperature is above
40°F [4°C].
How to Use the Battery Charger
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery
charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be done
in a dry location, such as inside a garage.
• Plug the charger into the unit’s “Battery Float Charger”
jack, which is located on the starter switch (Figure 10).
Plug battery charger into a 120Volt AC wall receptacle.
• Unplug the charger from the unit and the wall outlet
when generator is being started and while it is in
operation.
• Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in
use to prolong battery life.The charger has a built in
float equalizer and will not overcharge the battery, even
when plugged in for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: See “Battery Maintenance” on page 11 for
additional information.

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 15.
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.
NOTE: The proper tire inflation operating range should be
15-40 PSI.
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.
Battery Maintenance
Other than float charging, described elsewhere, no
maintenance is required for the battery. Keep the battery
and terminals clean and dry.
IMPORTANT: Battery charging should be performed in a
dry location, such as inside a garage.
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.
• 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.

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
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts, empty all three supplied fuel
stabilizer containers into fuel tank and fill with fresh fuel.
Run the unit for several minutes to circulate the additive
through the carburetor.The unit and fuel can then be
stored for up to 24 months.Additional fuel stabilizer can
be purchased locally.
• DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless
it has been treated as described above.
• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
• Store in clean and dry area.

votre générateur. Connaissez ses applications, ses
limitations et les dangers qu'il implique.
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. Le champ tournant du générateur est entraîné à
3,600 T/M par un moteur monocylindrique.

Ampères du générateur.Voir "Ne Pas Surcharger le Générateur"
sur la page 28 pour l'information spécifique.
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.
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

potentiels. Obéir tous messages de sûreté qui suivent
ce symbole éviter la blessure ou la mort possibles.
Le symbole indiquant un message de sécurité est accompagné d'un
mot indicateur (DANGER,ATTENTION,AVERTISSEMENT), d'un
message illustré et/ou d'un message de sécurité visant à vous
avertir des dangers. DANGER indique un danger qui, s'il n'est pas
évité, provoquera des blessures graves, voire fatales.
AVERTISSEMENT indique un danger qui, s'il n'est pas évité, peut
provoquer des blessures graves, voire fatales. ATTENTION
indique un danger qui, s'il n'est pas évité, peut provoquer des
blessures mineures ou légères. Le mot ATTENTION, lorsqu'il est
utilisé sans le symbole d'alerte, indique une situation pouvant
endommager l'équipement. Suivez les messages de sécurité pour
éviter ou réduire les risques de blessures ou de mort.
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.
AVERTISSEMENT
Dans l'état de Californie un pare-étincelles est requis par la loi
(section 4442 du Code des ressources publiques de Californie).
D'autres états ont des lois similaires. Les lois fédérales
s'appliquent aux terres fédérales. Si vous équipez le silencieux
d'un pare-étincelles, il doit être en bon état de fonctionnement.
• Faites fonctionner le générateur SEULEMENT à l'extérieur.
• Laissez un espace d'au moins 2 pieds tout autour du générateur, pour
permettre une ventilation adéquate.
• NE FAITES PAS fonctionner le générateur à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment
ou d'un abri, y compris à l'intérieur du compartiment d'un véhicule de
plaisance.
Le générateur, lorsqu'il fonctionne, produit du monoxyde
de carbone, un gaz toxique inodore et incolore.
Le fait de respirer du monoxyde de carbone provoque
des nausées, des évanouissements ou peut être fatal.
DANGER
• Le Code national de l'électricité requiert que le générateur soit
correctement relié à la terre par un branchement homologué. Faites appel
à un électricien pour connaître les exigences de mise à la terre régionales.
Si la génératrice n'est pas mise à la masse comme il
se doit, il y a risque d'électrocution, particulièrement
si la génératrice est équipée de roues.
DANGER
• Lorsque vous utilisez le générateur comme source d'énergie de
secours, il est nécessaire d'aviser les services publics d'électricité.
• Utilisez un disjoncteur différentiel lorsque vous utilisez l'appareil dans
des endroits humides ou extrêmement conductibles, comme les
terrasses en métal ou les ouvrages métalliques.
• NE touchez pas les fils dénudés ou les boîtiers.
• N'UTILISEZ pas le générateur avec des cordons électriques usés,
effilochés ou dénudés, ou abîmés de quelque sorte que ce soit.
• N'UTILISEZ pas le générateur sous la pluie.
• NE manipulez pas le générateur ou les cordons d'alimentation lorsque
vous êtes debout dans l'eau, pieds nus ou avec les mains ou les pieds
humides.
• NE laissez pas des personnes non qualifiées ou des enfants se servir
ou réparer le générateur.
Le générateur produit une tension élevée.
Ne pas isoler le générateur de l'installation électrique
risque de provoquer des blessures ou même d'être fatal
pour les ouvriers électriciens et de causer des dommages
au générateur dus à un "backfeed" d'énergie électrique.
DANGER
LORSQUE VOUS RÉGLEZ OU RÉPAREZ VOTRE
GÉNÉRATEUR
• Débranchez toujours le câble de bougie et placez-le de façon à ce
qu'il ne soit pas en contact avec la bougie.
Unintentional peut résulter dans feu ou électrique.
