INTRODUCTION

READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY

If you do not understand any portion of this manual, contact Generac or your nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer for starting, operating and servicing procedures.

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert you to special instruction about a particular operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or care- lessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:

After this heading, you can read instructions that, if not strictly complied with, will result in personal injury or property damage.

After this heading, you can read instructions that, if not strictly complied with, may result in person- al injury or property damage.

After this heading, you can read instructions that, if not strictly complied with, could result in dam- age to equipment and/or property.

NOTE:

After this heading, you can read explanatory statements that require special emphasis.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they indicate. Common sense and strict compli- ance with the special instructions while performing the service are essential to preventing accidents.

Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the Danger, Warning and Caution blocks. The type of information each indicates follows:

This symbol points out important safety infor- mation that, if not followed, could endanger personal safety and/or property of you and others.

This symbol points out potential explosion hazard.

This symbol points out potential fire hazard.

This symbol points out potential electrical shock hazard.

The operator (driver) is responsible for proper and safe use of the vehicle and its equipment, and the safety of all vehicle occupants. We strongly recom- mend that the operator read this manual and thor- oughly understand all instructions before using this equipment. We also strongly recommend instructing other occupants in the vehicle to properly start and operate the generator. This prepares them if they need to operate the equipment in an emergency.

CONTENTS

This manual contains pertinent owner’s information, including warranty, electrical diagrams, exploded views and lists of repair parts for generator model numbers 009600-5 and 009734-5. In addition, the latter portion of this manual contains information necessary for the proper installation of these generators.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safe- ty checks, to make sure that all maintenance for safe operation is performed promptly, and to have the equipment checked periodically by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer. Normal maintenance ser- vice and replacement of parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and, as such, are not considered defects in materials or workmanship within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage contribute to the need for maintenance service.

Proper maintenance and care of your generator ensure a minimum number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum. See your Generac Authorized Service Dealer for service aids and acces- sories.
