Thank you for purchasing this model by Generac Power

the nearest Authorized Dealer for starting, operating and
servicing procedures.
The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of
the equipment. We strongly recommend that the operator
read this manual and thoroughly understand all instruc-
tions before using the equipment. We also strongly rec-
ommend instructing other users to properly start and

The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably
only if it is properly located, operated and maintained.

state and national codes and regulations.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible cir-
cumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in
this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit
are, therefore, not all inclusive.
If using a procedure, work method or operating technique
that the manufacturer does not specifically recommend,
ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the pro-
cedure, work method or operating technique utilized does
not render the generator unsafe.

1.3 — Safety Rules
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals
affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION
and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to special
instructions about a particular operation that may be haz-
ardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe
them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR
ACTION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action
which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
Notes contain additional information important to a
procedure and will be found within the regular text
body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that
they indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with
the special instructions while performing the action or
service are essential to preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of
information each indicates is as follows:
*
This symbol points out important safety
information that, if not followed, could
endanger personal safety and/or property.
$
This symbol points out potential explosion
hazard.
!
This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
+
This symbol points out potential electrical
shock hazard.
