Generac Mega 2500 Extended Life Generator
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
This generator is an
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 2000 watts for this generator. In most cases rated watts of the electrical device can be found on the device nameplate. If the device nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain watts (volts x amps = watts).
The generator’s revolving field is driven at about 3600 rpm by a
Every effort has been expended to make sure that the information in this manual is both accurate and current. However, Generac reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the product at any time without prior notice.
DANGER: Do not tamper with engine gov- erned speed. High operating speeds are dangerous and increase risk of personal injury or damage to equipment. The genera- tor supplies correct rated frequency and voltage only when running at proper gov- erned speed. Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage some connected electri- cal loads. Operating at excessively low speeds imposes a heavy load at such reduced speeds, when adequate engine power is not available, and may short engine life.

SAFETY RULES
This generator set was designed and manufactured for specific applications. Do not attempt to modify the unit or use it for any application it was not designed for. If you have any questions about your generator’s applica- tion, ask your Dealer/Distributor or consult the factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every cir- cumstance that might involve a hazard. For that reason warnings in the Manual and warnings on tags or decals affixed to the unit are not
Read this manual carefully and become familiar with your generator set. Know its applications, its limitations and any hazards involved.
WARNING:
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
•The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can cause extremely dangerous electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, etc. Never permit any unqualified person to operate or service the generator.
•Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet. Dangerous electrical shock will result.
•The National Electric Code requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of generator be properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require proper ground- ing of the generator. Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area.
•Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).
•Do not use any worn, bare, frayed or otherwise dam- aged electrical cord sets with the generator. Using any defective cord set may result in electrical shock or damage to equipment and/or property.
•Operate generator only on level surfaces and where it will not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or corrosive vapors.
