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 AC, single phase, 60Hz devices
that require up to 5,500 watts (5.5 kW) of power that pull
up to 45.8 Amps at 120 Volts or 22.9 Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION!
Do Not exceed the generator's
wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated watts of all
devices you will connect to generator receptacles at one
time.This total should not be greater than 5,500 watts for
this generator. Review "Don't Overload the Generator" on
page 9.
The generator's revolving field is driven at about 3,600 rpm
by a single-cylinder engine.
Every effort has been made to ensure that information in
this manual is accurate and current. However, Generac
reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the
product and this document at any time without prior
notice.
CAUTION!
Do Not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase risk of personal injury or
damage to equipment.The generator supplies
correct 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.When adequate
engine power is not available engine life may be
shortened.
The Emission Control System for this generator is
warranted for standards set by the Environmental
Protection Agency. For warranty information refer to the
engine owner's manual.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.

chemicals known to the State of California
WARNING!
from the electric utility using approved transfer
equipment 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 the unit is providing backup power, the
electric utility must be notified.
DANGER! Generator exhaust gases contain
DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. If breathed in
sufficient concentrations, carbon monoxide
can cause unconsciousness or death. Operate
this equipment outdoors where adequate ventilation
is available.
