Lifting and Transporting GV 7000A / 7003A Lifting and Transporting Lifting the Machine This generator, while compact, is heavy enough to cause injury if proper lifting techniques are not used. Observe the following guidelines when lifting the generator. • Do not attempt to lift and carry the generator unassisted. Use appropriate lifting equipment such as slings, chains, hooks, ramps, or jacks.
4.1.2 Check the machine and its components for damage. If there is visible damage, do not operate the machine! Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer immediately for assistance. 4.1.3 Take inventory of all items included with the machine and verify that all loose components and fasteners are accounted for.
Operation GV 7000A / 7003A Power Requirements Wacker Neuson generator Model GV 7000A is designed to operate single-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model GV 7003A is designed to operate single phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230VAC and/or three-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 400VAC.
GV 7000A / 7003A Operation If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, it can be calculated by multiplying its voltage and amperage requirements: Single Phase: VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS Three Phase: VOLTS x AMPS x 1.732 x 0.8 = WATTS...
Operation GV 7000A / 7003A Generator Derating All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output.
GV 7000A / 7003A Operation Grounding the Generator The neutral of this machine is not connected to ground. Under standard operating conditions, do not connect the frame PE stud to earth ground. Refer to local codes if machine is used to power a CAUTION building or similar distribution system.
Operation GV 7000A / 7003A Use of Extension Cords When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance.

Maintenance GV 7000A / 7003A Servicing the Air Cleaner See Graphic: wc_gr0001287 The engine is equipped with a single element air cleaner. Service air cleaner frequently to prevent carburetor malfunction. NOTICE: NEVER run the engine without the air cleaner. Severe engine damage will occur.
GV 7000A / 7003A Maintenance Spark Plug See Graphic: wc_gr000028 Clean or replace the spark plug as needed to ensure proper operation. Refer to your engine operator’s manual. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine.
Maintenance GV 7000A / 7003A Engine Speed See Graphic: wc_gr001300 Generators require a fixed engine speed to maintain the correct voltage. Engine speed is controlled by a governor which automatically adjusts to varying loads on the engine to maintain a constant speed of 3000 rpm.
GV 7000A / 7003A Maintenance Long-Term Storage Before storing generator for a long period of time: 5.6.1 Turn the engine fuel valve to the OFF position. 5.6.2 Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor.
