Generac Portable Products SE10000 Generator

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

This 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, 60Hz devices that require up to 10,000 watts (10.0 kW) of power that pull up to 83.3 Amps at 120 Volts or 41.6 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 10,000 watts for this generator. See “Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 11.

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 governed speed. High operating speeds are dangerous and increase the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment. The generator supplies correctly 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 and, when adequate engine power is not available, may shorten 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 application, ask your dealer or consult the factory.

The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that reason, warnings in the manual and warnings on tags or decals affixed to the unit are not all–inclusive. If you intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a procedure or method not specifically recommended by the manufacturer, first make sure that such a procedure or method will not render this equipment unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.

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.

DANGER! You must isolate the generator from the electric utility by opening the electrical system’s main circuit breaker or main switch if this unit is used for backup power. Failure to isolate the generator from the power utility may result in injury or death to electric utility workers and damage to the generator.

DANGER! Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide, if breathed in sufficient concentrations can cause unconsciousness or death. Operate this equipment outdoors where adequate ventilation is available.
