Generac Portable Products 4,200 Watt Generator

EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION

The generator is an engine-driven, revolving field, alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads. This manual contains information for a generator that operates

120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz devices that require up to 4,200 watts (4.2 kW) of power that pull up to 35 Amps at 120 Volts or 17.5 Amps at 240 Volts.

CAUTION! Do Not exceed the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated watts of all devices you are connecting to generator receptacles at one time. This total should not be greater than 4,200 watts. See “Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 9.

The 4,200 watt portable generator has the following features:

•120/240 Volt, 20 Amp locking receptacle.

•120 Volt 30 Amp locking receptacle.

•120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.

•Low Oil Shutdown: Automatically shuts down the engine if oil drops below safe operation level.

•1.6 gallon overhead fuel tank.

•The generator’s revolving field is driven at about 3,600 rpm by a Honda 8 h.p. engine.

DANGER! Do Not tamper with engine governed speed. High operating speeds are dangerous and increase risk of personal injury or damage to equipment. The generator supplies correct rated frequency and voltage only when running at proper governed speed. Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage some connected electrical loads. Operating at excessively low speeds imposes a heavy load at such reduced speeds, when adequate engine power is not available, and may shorten engine life.
