•The AC connection system on all air-cooled PRIMEPACT series generators uses a GROUNDED neutral.

•A separate green ground wire is connected to the recreational vehicle’s junction box.

•Loads connected across T1 (Red) to T2 (White), and T3 (Black) to T2 (White), must not exceed rat- ings for your specific generator (see Section 1.6.3).

NOTE:

Do NOT connect loads in excess of circuit breaker ratings.

6.1LOCATION AND SUPPORT

◆6.1.1 GENERATOR LOCATION

The most desirable location for the generator set is between the vehicle's main frame members. However, this is seldom possible. Most units must be installed on the side of the vehicle and are difficult to reinforce.

Many recreational vehicles have been factory equipped with an area for the generator set. Some vehicles may even have a generator compartment provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

Plan the generator location based on the following:

•The generator set must be installed on a frame- work that is part of the recreational vehicle, as out- lined in Section 6.1.2.

•The location must provide an access opening that is large enough to permit generator removal (unless the generator is to be removed from under- neath the supporting framework).

•The location must provide easy access to frequent- ly serviced components, such as filters, oil drains, spark plugs and other common maintenance parts.

◆ 6.1.2 GENERATOR SUPPORT

The generator must be securely attached to a metal framework that has been made part of the vehicle frame structure by bolting or welding. The metal framework on which the generator will rest and which will restrain the generator set should consist of at least two horizontal beams. These beams should consist of (a) 1-1/2-inch square, 11-gauge steel tubing OR (b) 1-1/2-inch, 11-gauge angle iron. A typical sup- porting frame with horizontal support tubing, is shown in Figure 6.1.

The generator can be installed so that it sits on top of the horizontal support tubing if the vehicle design permits. Another method is to suspend the generator below the horizontal support tubing by means of suit- able, structurally sound metal framework. The fol- lowing general rules apply:

•Vehicle construction MUST be capable of support- ing the weight of the generator.

•Whether the generator is mounted above the hori- zontal support tubing or suspended below the tub- ing, the supporting frame used must be structural- ly sound.

•If the generator cannot be bolted directly to the supporting frame or support tubing, consider using additional tubing, angle brackets or other supports to give the supporting frame sufficient strength.

Generac has established itself as a leader in the power generation industry, particularly noted for its wide range of generators designed to provide reliable backup power. Among its various models, the Generac series consisting of the 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0 stands out due to their dependable performance and innovative features. Each model in this series is engineered for both residential and light commercial applications, offering peace of mind during power outages.

One of the main features of these models is their state-of-the-art engine technology. Equipped with a Generac engine, these generators are designed to provide efficient, powerful performance. The engines are robust and designed to withstand extended use, ensuring that users can rely on them when needed most.

A standout feature is their Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) capability. When the power goes out, these generators automatically switch on, providing uninterrupted power to essential appliances and systems in the home. This seamless transition is vital for maintaining safety and comfort during outages, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Fuel efficiency is another area where these models excel. They utilize either natural gas or propane, offering flexibility in fuel choice depending on availability and preference. Their engineering is optimized for minimal fuel consumption while maximizing output, making them a cost-effective solution for power needs.

Furthermore, these models incorporate advanced monitoring and control systems. Users can conveniently monitor generator performance and status through an intuitive mobile app or control panel. This technology allows users to receive alerts and updates, ensuring they are always informed about the power situation at their location.

Noise reduction technology is also a key characteristic of this series. Generac's engineers have focused on minimizing sound output, providing a quieter operation compared to many other generators in the market. This feature is particularly beneficial for residential areas where noise can be a significant concern.

Overall, the Generac 004702-0, 004703-0, 004704-0, 004705-0, 004706-0, and 004707-0 models exemplify reliability, efficiency, and advanced engineering. Their comprehensive features and user-friendly technology make them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a dependable backup power solution.
