GENERATOR FAMILIARIZATION
GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac-
tured for supplying electrical power for recreational
vehicles. You should not modify the generator or use
it for any application other than for what it was
designed. If there are questions pertaining to its
application, write or call the factory. Do not use the
unit until you have been advised by a competent
authority.
DANGER: FOR FIRE SAFETY, THE GENER·
ATOR MUST HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED
IN COMPLIANCE WITH (1) ANSI119.2·1975/NFPA
501C·1974 "STANDARD FOR RECREATIONAL
VEHICLES", PART Ill, "INSTALLATION OF ELEC·
TRICAL SYSTEMS." THE GENERATOR ALSO
MUST HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN STRICT COM-
PLIANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S DETAILED
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AFTER INSTALLA·
TION, DO NOTHING THAT MIGHT RENDER THE
UNIT IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH CODES,
STANDARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
You can use this generator to supply electrical power
for operating 120 volts, single phase, 60 Hertz, elec-
trical loads. These loads can require up to 3000 watts
{3.0 kW) from the NP-30G.
CAUTION: Do not overload the generator. Some
installations may require that electrical loads be
alternated to avoid overloading. Applying exces-
sively high electrical loads may damage the gener·
ator and may shorten its life. Add up the rated
watts of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool and
motor loads the generator will power at one time.
This total should not be greater than the wattage
capacity of the generator. If an electrical device
nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply
volts times amps to obtain watts (volts x amps
=
watts). Some electric motors require more watts
of power (or amps of current} for starting than for
continuous operation.

SAFETY
Before using the generator set, carefully read GEN-
ERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply with
these RULES to prevent accidents and damage to
equipment and/or property. Generac suggests copy-
ing and posting the GENERAL SAFETY RULES in
potential hazard areas of the recreational vehicle.
Safety should be stressed to all operators of this
equipment.
GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEM
This air-cooled NP Series generator can power 120-
volt, single phase, 60 Hertz AC loads. The diagram
