fatigued.
• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping
on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in
dangerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases,
fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
• 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 MAY RESULT.
• The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and external
electrically conductive parts of the generator be properly
connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes
may also require proper grounding of the generator. Consult
with a local electrician for grounding requirements in the area.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or highly
conductive area (such as metal decking or steel work).
EXHAUST & LOCATION HAZARDS
• NEVER operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use
in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such
as garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use
outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an
area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
• Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical
cord sets with the generator.
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut
down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,
attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting
implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the
live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and
get immediate medical help.
FIRE HAZARDS
• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are EXPLOSIVE.
Do not permit smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinity while handling gasoline.
• Never add fuel while unit is running or hot. Allow engine to
cool completely before adding fuel.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
you cannot see or smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air
is critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the
installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the
generator. The generator MUST be operated outdoors.
• This exhaust system must be properly maintained. Do nothing
that might renderthe exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance

2. Remove the fuel cap and check the fuel level. If fuel is needed,
see the section “FUELING THE GENERATOR”.
3. Remove the left side service cover and check the oil level
by removing the oil filler cap. The oil level should be to the
bottom of the threads on the oil fill pipe. If oil is needed, see
the section “ADDING ENGINE OIL”.
4. Replace and secure the left side service cover.
5. Make sure there are no electrical devices connected to the
generator.
Prior to starting the generator and adding loads, perform the
following tasks:
1. Make sure the generator is on a firm, level (not to exceed 15°
in any direction), non-combustible surface with at least five (5)
feet of clearance on all sides.
6. The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Proper
grounding of the generator will prevent electrical shock in
the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in
connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in unguarded
devices.
Never operate in an enclosed area or
indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a
vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such
as garages, even if doors and windows are
open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open
windows, doors, vents, and in an area that
will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness
or even death.
7. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of
the generator.
Starting the generator with accessories
connected to the 120 VAC outlets will
damage the generator and the connected
accessories.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and
ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do not alter the installation or
permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator. The generator
MUST be operated outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly
maintained. Do nothing that might render the
exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.

NOTE:
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture
will remain around the battery for a long
time after it has been charged. The slightest
spark can ignite the hydrogen and cause an
explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the
battery and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
NEVER reverse the polarity when connecting
the battery terminals to the charging jack.
Severe damage may occur to the generator
and battery.
2. Keep the EcoMode switch in the “OFF” (O) position.
3. Start the generator and use it as normal. Charging time will
vary with battery size and condition. Check the voltage with a
multi-meter at the battery terminals once the charging cable
has been unplugged, or the generator has been shut down.
NOTE:
This receptacle can not recharge 6-Volt batteries
and can not be used to crank an engine having a
discharged battery.
When an electric motor is started, the "OVERLOAD" LED may
light up for up to five (5) seconds (this is normal). If it stays on,
a fault has occured. Unplug all devices and shut down generator
to reset the alarm. Restart the generator. If the "OVERLOAD"
LED remains lit, contact a Generac Dealer for assistance.
Once the generator is no longer needed it can be shut down.
1. Switch off any electrical devices connected to the generator.
Unplug any cords to the 120 VAC duplex outlets or the 12 VDC
plug.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” (O) position (Figure 7). A
switch behind the fuel valve grounds the ignition system,
stopping the engine and the fuel supply is shut off.
3. Close the vent on the fuel cap.
When the electrical devices connected to the generator are going
to be used intermittently (such as a hand drill), the EcoMode
switch can be pushed to the “ON” (I) position. This will lower the
generator engine speed when loads are not being applied, saving
fuel, reducing engine wear, noise, and extending runtime.
4. Allow the generator to cool before moving or storing.
Always allow the generator to cool off before
storing. High temperatures will be present
at the rear of the unit for some time after
shutdown.
The 12 VDC receptacle (1600 & 2000 only) may be used to
recharge 12 VDC automotive type batteries only. The DC charging
output is not regulated. The circuit protector does not prevent over-
charging a battery.
Figure 7 - Turn Off Fuel
1. Connect the charging cable to the generator first, then the
battery, ALWAYS connecting the red lead to positive (+) and
the black to negative (-).
8962-2+ꢀ8,)ꢀ*9)0ꢀ3**
Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron
and rubber gloves when working around
a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is an
extremely corrosive sulfuric acid solution
that can cause severe burns. If a spill occurs,
flush area with clear water immediately.

Use care when fueling the generator. Only fill the fuel tank when
the generator has cooled entirely. Use fresh unleaded gasoline with
a minimum Research Octane Number (RON) of 87.
NOTE:
Do not use any gasoline containing more than 10% Ethanol.
NEVER fill the fuel tank with E85 or a mixture of oil and gasoline
designated for two-cycle engines.
Do not light a cigarette or smoke when
filling the fuel tank.
Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its
vapors are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit
smoking, open flames, sparks or heat in the
vicinity while handling gasoline.
All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API)
Service Class SJ, SL or better. Do not use any aftermarket
additives.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel
tank when engine is running or hot. Avoid
spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Allow
engine to cool entirely before filling fuel tank.
Select the oil's viscosity grade according to the expected operating
temperature.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow
room for fuel expansion. If tank is over-filled,
fuel can overflow onto a hot engine and
cause FIRE or an EXPLOSION. Wipe up fuel
spills immediately!

Maintenance
Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on
its exterior surface.
1. Place the unit on a firm, level surface (not to exceed 15° in any
direction).
2. Remove the Left Side Service Cover.
3. Remove the oil fill cap located on the bottom of the engine
crankcase.
NOTE:
Never insert any object or tool through the air cooling slots,
even if the engine is not running.
4. Add the recommended engine oil slowly, stopping frequently
to check the level. The full level is the base of the threads in
the filler neck. DO NOT OVERFILL!
5. Replace the oil fill cap and tighten.
6. Always check the oil level before starting the generator
engine.
NOTE:
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water
can enter the engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters the generator through cooling air
slots, some water will be retained in voids and crevices of the
rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on
the generator internal windings will eventually decrease the
insulation resistance of these windings.
DO NOT overfill the engine crankcase with
oil. High oil pressure may result, causing
premature engine wear and damage.

Maintenance
NOTE:
Change the oil only when the fuel tank is low
or nearly empty. Tipping the generator with a
full fuel tank may cause fuel leakage.
Only work on a generator that has cooled completely.
Inspect the oil level and air filter condition each time you are going
to use the generator. To check the air filter and oil level the left side
service cover must be removed; use a screwdriver to loosen the
screw securing the cover and remove.
1. Place the generator over a drain pan and remove the drain
plug. Tip the generator on its side to drain the used oil from
the crankcase.
NOTE:
The air filter is located behind a cover for the air box (Figure 10).
Push the tab on the bottom of the air box upwards to release the
cover. To service the air cleaner:
To make draining the oil easier, a 6” length of vinyl (PVC) hose
with an inside diameter of 1.25” (32mm) may be placed over
the drain lip.
1. Remove the air cleaner. Tap the element to shake loose any
large particles.
2. Tip the generator upright once the oil has finished draining.
Replace the engine oil with the proper grade called out in
Section “ADDING ENGINE OIL”, then replace the drain plug.
2. Wash the element in soapy water. Squeeze the filter dry in
clean cloth (DO NOT TWIST).
3. Soak the filter element in clean engine oil. Squeeze the excess
oil from the filter, leaving a light coating.
4. Clean air cleaner housing and cover before re-installing the

Maintenance
If the generator is going to be stored for more than six (6) months,
the generator should be prepared as follows:
Replace the spark plug each year, regardless of how many hours
the generator has been run. Use the spark plug identified in the
"SPECIFICATIONS" section for each generator size. The spark plug
gap should be .030” (.76mm). To replace the spark plug:
1. Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.
2. Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel or
open the valve on carburetor bowl (Figure 13), and allow
gasoline to drain down tube into a receptacle. Discard
appropriately. Be sure to close the valve once the gasoline has
drained.
1. Remove the spark plug cover on the top right side of the
generator, just below the handle (Figure 12).
2. Carefully pull the spark plug lead from the spark plug. Use a
socket wrench to remove the spark plug.
3. Install the new spark plug into the cylinder head. Tighten the
spark plug to 15 ft/lb.
4. Replace the spark plug lead, making sure it is fully seated.
5. Replace the spark plug cover.

3. After the engine cools down, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade.
4. Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of
engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Pull
the starting rope several times to coat the cylinder wall with
engine oil.
Transport or store the generator only if it has cooled completely.
Make sure the fuel valve and the vent on the fuel cap are both in
the OFF (“O”) position.
5. Install and tighten the spark plug.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during
long-term storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids; these acids in
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
6. Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air
slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.
7. Store the unit in a clean, dry place.
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection
from dust and dirt.
To avoid engine problems, the use of a commercial fuel stabilizer
prior to storage is recommended. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when adding the fuel stabilizer.
