    Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions. Generac cannot possibly anticipate every possible cir cumstance that might involve a hazard. The warn- ings in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit, are, therefore, not all-inclusive.
  • Page 5: Fire Hazards

    • This generator may use liquid propane (LP) gas as a fuel. LP gas is highly EXPLOSIVE. The gas is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas where even the slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Generac Power Systems, Inc. ®...

    120-volt AC loads (Figure 1.1). It can be wired to connect both 120- and/or 240-volt AC electrical loads. This procedure should be done by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer or other qualified installer. A jumper wire must be installed between the circuit breakers when reconnecting for 120/240 volts.
  • Page 8: Optional Propane Fuel System

    Using unleaded gasoline contributes to longer engine valve life by reducing lead and carbon deposits. Generac does not recommend using any gasoline containing alcohol (such as “gasohol”). If you use any gasoline containing alcohol, it must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol, and it must be removed from the generator during storage.

    Boulevard, Rexdale, Ontario, Canada, M9W 1R3. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION Instructions and information in this section pertain to Generac air-cooled generators. These generators are designed specifically for installing in recreational vehicles. They operate 120-volt, single-phase, 60- Hertz, AC electrical loads that require 40.0 amps (gasoline) or 37.5 amps (LP fuel) at 120 volts.

  • Page 26: Sound Insulating Materials

    One excellent insulating material is a 1- inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass having a 2-pound den- sity. When fiberglass is used, its coated side should face toward the compartment interior. 24 Generac Power Systems, Inc. ® DANGER Do not install sound insulation or any absorbent material on the compartment floor interior.

This rule applies whether inlet air is brought in through an opening in the compartment door, an opening in the vehicle skirt, through duct- work, or by any other means. 26 Generac Power Systems, Inc. ® NOTE: Screening, louvers or expanded metal that cover air openings restrict airflow.
  • Page 29: Gasoline Fuel System

    Section 2 – Installation PRIMEPACT 50 Recreational Vehicle Generator 2.3.4 TESTING THE INSTALLATION Generac recommends testing the installation to be sure adequate cooling airflow is available to the unit before placing the unit into service. If the unit shows signs of overheating, you will need to enlarge the air openings.
  • Page 30: Fuel Tank

    If the generator is to share the vehicle engine's tank, separate fuel pickup tubes are required for the engine and the generator. Generac recommends that you make the fuel pickup tube 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm) shorter than the vehicle engine's pickup tube.

    The generator engine is equipped with a high tem- perature switch. The switch has normally closed (N.C.) contacts. When the engine temperature is too high, switch contacts close, and the engine shuts down automatically. GENERAC RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TEST THE GENERATOR FOR ADEQUATE COOLING.
