Use this page to record important information about this generator set.

ecord the information found on the unit data label on this

page. See

Safety and Informational Decals

for the location

of the unit data label. The unit has a label plate affixed to the

inside partition as shown in

Figure 1-1

. See

Enclosure Panel

Removal

for directions on how to open the top lid and remove

the front panel

Always supply the complete model and serial numbers of the

unit when contacting an Independent Authorized Service

Dealer (IASD) about parts and service.

Operation and Maintenance: Correct maintenance and

care of the unit ensures a minimum number of problems, and

keeps operating expenses at a minimum. It is the operator’s

responsibility to perform all safety inspections, to verify all

maintenance for safe operation is performed promptly, and

to have the equipment inspected periodically by an IASD.

Normal maintenance, service, and replacement of parts are

the responsibility of the owner/operator and are not consid-

ered defects in materials or workmanship within the terms of

the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage may con-

tribute to the need for additional maintenance or service.

When the generator set requires servicing or repairs, Gen-

erac recommends contacting an IASD for assistance. Autho-

rized service technicians are factory-trained and are capable

of handling all service needs. To locate the nearest IASD,

please visit the dealer locator at:

Section 1: Safety Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high perfor-

mance, air-cooled, engine-driven generator set. It is

designed to automatically supply electrical power to oper-

ate critical loads during a mains (utility) power failure.

This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal

enclosure intended exclusively for outdoor installation.

This generator set will operate using either vapor with-

drawn liquid propane (liquid propane gas [LPG]) or natu-

ral gas (NG). See Fuel Requirements and

Recommendations.

NOTE: This generator set is intended to be used for sup-

plying typical residential loads such as induction motors

(sump pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners, furnaces,

etc.), electronic components (computer, monitor, TV,

etc.), lighting loads, and microwaves, when sized cor-

rectly.

This unit is also equipped with a Wi-Fi®module, which

enables the owner to monitor generator set status from

anywhere they have Internet access.

NOTE: Wi-Fi®is a registered trademark of Wi-Fi Alli-

ance®.

The information in this manual is accurate based on

products produced at the time of publication. The manu-

facturer reserves the right to make technical updates,

corrections, and product revisions at any time without
