Equipment Description; Safety Rules - Generac Portable Products 10000EXL Owner's Manual

EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
This generator is an engine–driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical
lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads. This manual
contains information for a generator that operates
120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60Hz devices that
require up to 10,000 watts (10 kW) of power that pull up
to 83.3 Amps at 120 Volts or 41.7 Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION!
Do Not exceed the generator's
wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated watts of all
devices you are connecting to generator receptacles at one
time. This total should not be greater than 10,000 watts
for this generator. In most cases rated watts of the
electrical device can be found on the device nameplate. If
the device nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply
volts times amps to obtain watts (volts x amps = watts).
The generator's revolving field is driven at about 3,600 rpm
by a twin–cylinder engine.
Every effort has been expended to make sure that the
information in this manual is both accurate and current.
However, Generac reserves the right to change, alter or
otherwise improve the product at any time without prior
notice.
CAUTION!
Do Not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase the risk of personal injury
or damage to equipment. The generator supplies
correctly rated frequency and voltage only when
running at proper governed speed. Incorrect
frequency and/or voltage can damage some
connected electrical loads. Operating at excessively
low speeds imposes a heavy load and, when
adequate engine power is not available, may shorten
engine life.

WARNING:
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING!
from the electric utility by opening the electrical
system's main circuit breaker or main switch if this
unit is used for backup power. Failure to isolate
the generator from the power utility may
result in injury or death to electric utility
workers and damage to the generator due to
a backfeed of electrical energy. Whenever unit is
providing backup power, the electric utility must be
notified.
DANGER
! Generator exhaust gases contain
DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. Carbon
monoxide, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
death. Operate this equipment outdoors where
adequate ventilation is available.
The Emission Control System for this generator is
warranted for standards set by theEnvironmental
Protection Agency. For warranty information refer to the
engine owner's manual.
