PowerDial

The PowerDial controls the ON/OFF func-

tions, choke and fuel valve operation. See Fig-

ure 2-5.

• The START position (1) is used to start the

engine. In this position, the fuel is on and

the choke is fully on (closed).

• The RUN position (2) for normal operation

and to gradually reduce the use of the

choke.

• The STOP position (3) stops the engine

and shuts off fuel flow.

Figure 2-5. PowerDial (example)

PowerBar

The PowerBar indicates the amount of power

being used from the generator. Each section

is approximately 20%.

Economy Switch

The economy switch has 3 modes of opera-

tion:

• Economy: The quietest mode and best

when running appliances or equipment that

are resistive loads (non-motor starting),

(example: TV, video game, fan, light, radio).

• Standard: Best when running a both induc-

tive (motor-starting loads) and resistive

(non-motor starting loads), especially when

these loads are turning on and off (exam-

ple: RV, air conditioner).

• Turbo: Best when running inductive loads

(appliances or equipment with motor-start-

ing) that are continually running (examples:

drill, blender, saw, hairdryer).

Generator Status Lights

See Figure 2-6.

• Over Temperature LED (red): Illuminates

when unit temperatures exceed normal

operating conditions (1). The ready LED

will turn off and the inverter will cut power to

the outlets. Check for airflow obstructions

at front and rear panels. The engine will

remain running to cool the unit with the over

temperature LED illuminated. Once the unit

has reached normal operating tempera-

tures, the over temperature LED will turn

off. The reset button must then be pressed

for 1 second and released to clear the fault

and restore output power.

• Low Oil Level LED (orange): Illuminates

when oil level is below safe operating level.

Engine shuts down (2).

• Ready LED (green): Indicates output from

generator (3) (unless there is a low oil or

overload condition).

• Overload LED (red): Indicates system

overload (4). During motor starting it is nor-

mal for the overload LED to illuminate for a

few seconds. If LED stays illuminated and

the ready LED turns off, the engine will con-

tinue to run without output power. Remove

all applied loads and determine if attached

devices exceed recommended output

power. Review for any faulty or shorted

connections. Press and hold the reset but-

ton for 1 second and release. The red over-

load LED should turnoff. Loads can be re-

applied once the green ready LED illumi-

nates. If the red LED returns, contact an

IASD.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to pre-

vent 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.

Prepare Generator for Use

Grounding the Generator When

Used as a Portable

The generator is equipped with an equipment

ground connecting the generator frame and

the ground terminals on the AC output recep-

tacles (see NEC 250.34 (A). This allows the

generator to be used as a portable without

grounding the frame of the generator as spec-

ified in NEC 250.34. See Figure 3-1.

• Neutral Bonded to Ground

Figure 3-1.Grounding the Generator

Know Generator Limits

Overloading a generator can result in damage

to the generator and connected electrical

devices. Observe the following to prevent

overload:

• Add up the total wattage of all electrical

devices to be connected at one time. This

total should NOT be greater than the gener-

ator's wattage capacity.

• The rated wattage of lights can be taken

from light bulbs. The rated wattage of tools,

appliances, and motors can 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 select-

ing electrical devices to connect to the gen-

erator:

1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest

motor.

2. Add to that figure the running watts of all

other connected loads.

Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist

in determining how many items the generator

can operate at one time.

NOTE: All figures are approximate. See data

label on appliance for wattage requirements.

Asphyxiation. Running engines produce

carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless,

poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide, if not

avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

(000103)

DANGER

(000179a)

DANGER

The exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do

not alter or modify the exhaust system as to render it

unsafe or make it noncompliant with local codes and/or

standards. Failure to do so will result in death

or serious injury.

(000118)

DANGER

Risk of fire. Do not use generator without

spark arrestor installed. Failure to do so

could result in death or serious injury.

(000178a)

starting.

2. Firmly grasp recoil handle and pull slowly

until increased resistance is felt. Pull rap-

idly up and away.

3. Turn PowerDial clockwise to RUN.

Low Oil Level Shutdown System

The engine is equipped with a low oil level

sensor that shuts down the engine automati-

cally when the oil level drops below a speci-

fied level. See Figure 3-3 (B). The engine will

not run until the oil has been filled to the

proper level.

If the engine shuts down and there is sufficient

fuel, check engine oil level.

Parallel Operation

For output power up to 3200W, two iQ2000

inverters can operate in parallel using Gen-

erac’s Smart Parallel Kit (optional). See the

Smart Parallel Kit Operator’s Manual or con-

tact an IASD.

NOTE: All connections to the parallel kit

should be made while both inverters are

turned off and all loads disconnected.

1. The economy mode switch for both units

must be matching and set to either stan-

dard or turbo.

2. Make appropriate parallel connections to

the 120V duplex outlets on each iQ2000

inverter as outlined in the owner’s manual

supplied with the kit.

NOTE: Do not disconnect any parallel kit con-

nections once the units are running.

3. Start both units per starting instructions.

Once the green output indicator illumi-

nates, devices can be connected and

turned on using the parallel kit outlet.

Section 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance Recommendations

Regular maintenance will improve perfor-

mance and extend generator life. See an

IASD for service.

Generator warranty does not cover items sub-

jected to operator abuse or negligence. To

receive full warranty value, operator must

maintain generator as instructed in this man-

ual, including proper storage as detailed in

Winter Storage and Long Term Storage.

NOTE: Call 1-888-GENERAC (1-888-436-

3722) with questions about component

replacement.

Maintenance Schedule

Follow maintenance schedule intervals,

whichever occurs first according to use.

NOTE: Adverse conditions will require more

frequent service.

NOTE: All required service and adjustments

should be each season as detailed in the fol-

lowing chart.

Preventive Maintenance

Dirt or debris can cause improper operation

and equipment damage. Clean generator

daily or before each use. Keep area around

and behind muffler free from combustible

debris. Inspect all cooling air openings on

generator.

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces

clean.

• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on

dirt, oil, etc.

• Use a vacuum 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 openings on generator.

These openings must be kept clean and

unobstructed.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean

generator. Water can enter engine fuel system

and cause problems. If water enters generator

through cooling air slots, some water will be

retained in voids and crevices of rotor and sta-

tor winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup

on generator internal windings will decrease

insulation resistance of windings.

Engine Maintenance

Engine Oil Recommendations

Only high-quality detergent oils classified for

service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher are recom-

mended. DO NOT use special additives.

Climate determines proper engine oil viscos-

ity. See chart to select correct viscosity.
