Cold Smart Start

The Cold Smart Start feature is factory-
enabled, and can be disabled in the EDIT
menu. Generator will monitor ambient tem-
perature and adjust its warm-up delay
accordingly when Cold Smart Start is
enabled. If ambient temperature is below a
fixed temperature upon startup in AUTO
mode (per chart below), generator will warm
up for 30 seconds, allowing engine to warm
before load is applied. If ambient temperature
is at or above fixed temperature, generator
will start up with normal warm-up delay of six
seconds. See Cold Smart Start section in
owner's manual.

Setting The Exercise Timer

This generator is equipped with a configu-
rable exercise timer. There are two settings
for the exercise timer:
• Day/Time: Generator will start and exercise
for period defined, on day of week and at
time of day specified. During this exercise
period, unit runs for five minutes on all mod-
els, and then shuts down.
• Exercise frequency (how often exercise
will take place): Can be set to Weekly,
Biweekly, or Monthly. If Monthly is selected,
day of the month must be selected from 1–
28. Generator will exercise on that day each
month. Transfer of loads to generator output
does not occur during exercise cycle unless
utility power is lost.
NOTE: If installer tests generator prior to
installation, press ENTER button to skip set-
ting up exercise timer.

time must be reset every time power is
removed from controller via the controller fuse
and T1 circuit and/or battery connections.
NOTE: If Wi-Fi is enabled, exercise timer will
automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time.
NOTE: If using Wi-Fi feature, exercise time
will be set to a random weekday during day-
light hours. This setting can be changed later.
See Wi-Fi manual for details.

Before Initial Startup

Engine damage. Verify proper type and quantity of
engine oil prior to starting engine. Failure to do so
could result in engine damage.
NOTE: The unit comes filled with 5W-30
weight organic oil from the factory. Check oil
level and add appropriate viscosity and
amount of oil if necessary.
After the 25 hour break-in period, it is recom-
mended to use Generac's proprietary 5W-20
gaseous engine oil (GEO) for continuous
use. It is specifically formulated for use in
gaseous powered Generac generators.

Install Wizard

See 7-3. The Install Wizard immedi-
Figure
ately appears upon initial startup. It allows
user to input generator settings.
The Install Wizard starts every time AC and
DC power are removed and reapplied to gen-
erator.
