GENERAL"
features and benefits
Generac G-Force design
Maximizes engine "breathing" forincreased fuel efficlency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings helps the engine
run cooler, reducing oil consumption resulting In longer engine life.
"Spiny-lok" cast iron cylinder walls
Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
i Electronic Ignition/spark advance
These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.
i Full pressure lubrication system
Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance and longer engine life. Now featur-
ing up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change Interval.
Low oil pressure shutdown system
Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
High temperature shutdown
Prevents damage due to overheating.
Revolving field Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficlentiy than a revolving armature generator,
Skewed stator Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment.
Displaced phase excitation Maximizes motor starting capability.
Automatic voltage regulation Regulates the output voltage to ±1 % prevents damaging voltage spikes.
UL 2200 listed For your safety.
Vio1ur sviliol-I (K appllcaWe)
Fully automatic
Transfers your vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
NEMA 3R
Can be installed inside or outside for maximum flexibility.
Remote mounting
Mounts near your existing distribution panel for simple, low-cost installation.
oiertton" Controls
-�
Auto/Manual/Off illuminated buttons
Selects the operating mode and provides easy, at -a -glance status indication In any condition.
Two-line LCD multilingual display
Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance and events up to 50 occurrences.
Sealed, raised buttons
Smooth, weather-reslstant user interface for programming and operations.
Utility voltage sensing
Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 66% dropout, 80%u pick-up, of standard voltage.
Generator voltage sensing
Constantly monitors generator voltage to ensure the cleanest power delivered to the home.
Utility Interrupt delay
Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, adjustable 2-1500 seconds from the factory default selling of 5 seconds by a
qualified dealer.
Engine warm-up
Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
Engine cool -down
Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
Programmable exercise
Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every
other week. Also offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel
costs to the owner.
Smart battery charger
Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature.
Compatible with lead acid and AGM -style batteries.
Main line circuit breaker
Protects generator from overload,
Electronic governor
Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency.
SAE weather protective enclosure Sound attenuated enclosures ensure quiet operation and protection against mother nature, withstanding winds up to 150
mph. Hinged key locking roof panel for security. Lift -out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. Electrostat-
ically applied textured epoxy paint for added durablfity.
Enclosed critical grade muffler Quiet, critical grade muffler is mounted inside the unit to prevent injuries.
Small, compact, aftractive Makes for an easy, eye appealing installation, as close as 18" away from a building.
Illation system --
1 it (305 mm) flexible fuel line connector Absorbs any generator vibration when connected to rigid pipe.
Direct -to -dirt composite mounting pad Complex lattice design prevents settling or sinking of the generator system.
Integral sediment trap Prevents particles and moisture from entering the fuel regulator and engine, prolonging engine life.

° Locate the mounting area as close as possible to
the transfer switch and fuel supply
° Leave adequate room around the areal for service
access (check local code), and place high enough
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
