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 any questions pertaining to its
application, write or call the factory. Do not use the
unit until you have been advised by competent
authority.
DANGER
For fire safety, the generator must have been
properly installed in compliance with ANSI
119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974, "Standard for
Recreational Vehicles, Part III – Installation of
Electrical Systems." The generator also must
have been installed in strict compliance with
the manufacturer's detailed installation instruc-
tions. After installation, do nothing that might
render the unit in noncompliance with such
codes, standards and instructions.
You can use your generator set to supply electrical
power for operating one of the following electrical
loads:
• QUIETPACT 50G: 230 volt, single phase, 50 Hz
electrical loads. These loads can require up to
5000 watts (5.0 kW) of total power, but cannot
exceed 21.7 AC amperes.
• QUIETPACT 70G: 230 volt, single phase, 50 Hz
electrical loads. These loads can require up to
7000 watts (7.0 kW) of total power, but cannot
exceed 30.4 AC amperes.
Do not overload the generator. Some installa-
!
tions may require that electrical loads be alter-
nated to avoid overloading. Applying excessive-
ly high electrical loads may damage the genera-
tor 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 cur-
rent) for starting than for continuous operation.

1.3
This Owner's Manual has been prepared under the
assumption that a competent, qualified technician
installed the generator into a recreational vehicle. We
also assume the installer complied with all applicable
codes, standards and regulations pertaining to instal-
lation.
An INSTALLATION MANUAL was shipped with the
generator. That Manual contains manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations for installing the
unit into a recreational vehicle. After installation,
installers should forward the Installation Manual to
Owners/Operators for their information.
Owners/Operators have the responsibility to make
sure that nothing is done that might render the instal-
lation unsafe or in non-compliance with applicable
codes, standards and instructions.
1.4
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 to
potential operators of this equipment.
1.5
These generator is equipped with dual stator AC
power windings. These two stator windings supply
electrical power to customer electrical loads by
means of a dual two-wire connection system. Note,
however, that the neutral is grounded.
