Connecting the Ground

The nut and ground terminal on the generators should always be used to connect the generators to a suitable ground. The ground cable should be #8 size wire minimum.

At the generator, connect the terminal of the ground cable between the lock washer and the nut (Figure 2) and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to a suitable earth ground (ground rod).

The Multiquip GAC3.6HZ is a highly efficient air-cooled generator designed to meet the energy demands of both residential and industrial applications. This generator showcases a perfect combination of performance, durability, and ease of use, making it a popular choice among contractors, event organizers, and homeowners alike.

One of the standout features of the GAC3.6HZ is its powerful Honda GX160 engine, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency.

Equipped with a large-capacity fuel tank, the GAC3.6HZ provides extended operation without the need for frequent refueling. This makes it ideal for situations where access to fuel may be limited, such as remote job sites. Additionally, the generator features a low oil shutdown system that enhances engine longevity by automatically shutting down the engine in the event of low oil levels, protecting it from damage.

The GAC3.6HZ is designed with portability in mind. It includes a robust frame, built-in wheels, and a convenient lifting handle, allowing for easy transportation between locations. Its compact design also ensures that it can be stored in smaller spaces without hassle.

The intuitive layout of the control panel simplifies operation, even for users who may not be familiar with generator functions.

Multiquip has incorporated advanced noise reduction technologies into the GAC3.6HZ, ensuring that it operates at lower noise levels compared to traditional generators. This is particularly beneficial for noise-sensitive environments, where quiet operation is essential.

In summary, the Multiquip GAC3.6HZ stands out as an exceptional generator owing to its robust Honda engine, fuel efficiency, extended run time, user-friendly design, and advanced noise-reduction features.
