INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this model of the standby generator set product line by Generac Power Systems. Every effort was expended to make sure that the information and instructions in this manual are both accurate and current at the time the manual was writ- ten.
If using a procedure, work method or operating technique that Generac does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique chosen does not render the genera- tor unsafe.
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.
This generator system may include a matched auto- matic transfer switch which is intended to be used in conjunction with the Generac generator. It is supplied with a NEMA 3R enclosure. The NEMA 3R enclosure is weather proof and can be used indoors or out- doors.
