INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Guardian product line by Generac Power Systems. This model is a compact, high performance, liquid-cooled, engine-driven gen- erator designed to automatically supply electrical power to operate critical loads during a utility power failure. This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure that is intended exclusively for outdoor installation.
Generac ® Power Systems, Inc. GENERAL HAZARDS • For safety reasons, Generac recommends that the installation, initial start-up and maintenance of this equipment is carried out by a Generac/Guardian Authorized Dealer. • Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and related) equipment must always comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations.
Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris. • Generac generator sets may operate using one of sev- eral types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAM- MABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care.
Each single winding can supply a 120VAC, 60-Hertz output. When Generac ® Power Systems, Inc. the two windings are connected in series, a 240VAC, 60- Hertz output results.
The unit will not start or crank if the fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same size, type, and rating. Generac uses an AGC fuse rated at 15 amps. 1.8.1 GENERATOR Models ...0043736, 0046265...

FUEL REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS With LP gas, use only the vapor withdrawal system. This type of system uses the vapors formed above the liquid fuel in the storage tank.
Using any high silicate antifreeze boosters or additives also will cause overheating. Generac also recommends that any soluble oil inhibitor NOT be used for this equip- ment. Section 1 — General Information Guardian Liquid-cooled 40 kW Generator 1.12 EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM...
Connecting this generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer switch (such as the Generac “Pre-packaged” type transfer switch), so as to isolate the electric system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electric system by these means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

The battery represents a risk of high short circuit current. When working on the battery, always remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use tools that have insulated handles. 10 Generac ® Power Systems, Inc. 2.7.1 VENTED BATTERIES The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes.
On acoustic units, cap plugs also are needed to stay within noise specification limits. Section 1.8, 1.10, “Engine Section 1.8, Section 2 — Installation Figure 2.3 - Base Frame Cap Plugs Generac ® Power Systems, Inc. 11...
Battery voltage should read approximately12.5 to 14.5 volts DC. A low battery voltage indicates the battery is discharging. 12 Generac ® Power Systems, Inc. 3.1.5 HOURMETER This indicates the time the engine-generator has operat- ed, in hours and tenths of hours.
• The timer will run for about one minute, and the generator will then shut down. ENGINE HEATER This Generac standby generator comes equipped with a block heater (Figure 3.2, page 14) that is similar to the block heaters used in automotive applications. The block heater must be connected to a customer supplied 120V AC circuit.
• Place a sign on the generator’s control panel and on the transfer switch that indicates the day and time the generator will be exercising. 14 Generac ® Power Systems, Inc. If the battery terminals are disconnected or the con-...
8. Check the oil level after checking for leaks to ensure that the oil is filled to the proper level. To replace the engine air cleaner, (Generac part num- ber 0A4637), remove the air cleaner cover and replace the air filter making sure it is positioned properly before reattaching the cover.
4.5.1 BATTERY REPLACEMENT Generac uses a Group 27F vented type battery that has 600 CCA @ 0º F . Generac’s part number is 058665. NOTE: The BCI number should be located directly on the battery.
Once each year, have the generator cleaned and inspect- ed by a Generac/Guardian Authorized Dealer. Service technicians will use dry, low pressure air to clean inter- nal windings. Parts inside the control console should be cleaned and inspected at this time as well.
8. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry room on a wooden board. Never store the battery on any concrete or earthen floor. 9. Clean and wipe the entire generator. 18 Generac ® Power Systems, Inc. 4.11.2 RETURN TO SERVICE...
