FEATURES O INNOVATIVE ENGINE DESIGN & RIGOROUS TESTING are at the heart of Generac's O success in providing the most reliable generators possible. Generac's G-Farce engine lineup offers added peace of mind and reliability for when you need it the most. The G-Force series engines are purpose built and designed to handle the rigors of extended run times in high temperatures and extreme operating conditions. O TRUE POWER- ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY: Superior harmonics and sine wave O form produce less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion for utility quality power. This allows confident operation of sensitive electronic equipment and micro -chip based appliances, such as variable speed HVAC systems. SOLID-STATE, FREQUENCY COMPENSATED VOLTAGE REGULATION: This state-of-the-art power maximizing regulation system is standard on all Generac models. It provides optimized FAST RESPONSE to changing load conditions and MAXIMUM MOTOR STARTING CAPABILITY by electronically torque -matching the surge loads to the engine. Digital voltage regulation at ±1 %. SINGLE SOURCE SERVICE RESPONSE from Generac's extensive dealer network provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine to the smallest electronic component. O TEST CRITERIA: O GENERAC TRANSFER SWITCHES: Long life and reliability are N1 PROTOTYPE TESTED J NEMA MGi-22 EVALUATION synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this J SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED J MOTOR STARTING ABILITY confidence is that the GENERAC product line includes its own transfer systems and controls for total system compatibility. w GENERAC �t'•3ss ��y�"4�,� ..

Site Selection and Preparation Site Preparation ° Locate the mounting area as close as possible t the transfer switch and fuel supply. Leave adequate room arourid the area for servic( access (check local code), and place high enougt to keep rising water from reaching the generator. ° Choose an open space that will provide adequate and unobstructed airflow, Place the unit so air vents won't become clogged with leaves, grass, snow, or debris. Verify .that exhaust fumes will not enter any building through eaves, windows, ventilation fans, or other air Intakes,(see Select the type of base, such Qs --but not limited to—Oompacted $oH, gravel, or concrete, as desired or as required by local laws or codes. Verify your local requirements before selecting. Material Sufficient for Level Installation ° Prepare a rectangular area approximately 5 In (127 mm) deep (A) and approximately B In (152 mm) longer and wider (B) than the footprint of the generator. Verify that the surface where the generator will be mounted is compacted, leveled, and will not erode over time. A concrete pad can be Poured- If desired or required. Figure 3-3.
