RISK OF BODILY INJURY
KEEP HANDS, BODY PARTS, HAIR
AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM THE “HOT” PARTS OF THE
GENERATOR SET DURING AND AFTER OPERATION. THE
EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND THE GENERATOR IN GENERAL,
CAN REMAIN VERY HOT EVEN AFTER BEING SHUT
DOWN.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE
ENGINE-GOVERNED SPEED. THE GENERATOR
OPERATES AT A NOMINAL SPEED OF 3600 RPM.
INCREASES IN SPEED OVER THE 3600 RPM NOMINAL
WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY
DUE TO ROTATIONAL STRESSES ON THE ROTATING
MEMBERS. OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR AT SPEEDS
BELOW THE NOMINAL 3600 RPM COULD CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE GENERATOR OR DRIVEN APPARATUS DUE TO
LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT.
BATTERY SAFETY
STORAGE BATTERIES PRODUCE
AND RELEASE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS WHEN
CHARGING. THE SLIGHTEST SPARK, FLAME OR BURNING
ASH CAN IGNITE THESE GASES CAUSING A SERIOUS
EXPLOSION THAT COULD RESULT IN BLINDNESS OR
OTHER SERIOUS INJURIES. WEAR EYE PROTECTION,
RUBBER APRON AND RUBBER GLOVES WHEN WORKING
AROUND A BATTERY OR PERFORMING BATTERY
SERVICE. BATTERY FLUID IS AN EXTREMELY CAUSTIC
SULFURIC ACID, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY CABLE
FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE PERFORMING BATTERY
SERVICE OR BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL
SERVICE ON THE GENERATOR OR ENGINE.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
INSPECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM
REGULARLY TO ENSURE IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
LEAKY EXHAUST SYSTEMS WILL INCREASE NOISE
LEVELS.
DIRECT THE “LOUD” SIDES OF THE
GENERATOR INTO OPEN SPACES AVOIDING
REVERBERATION FROM WALLS OR BUILDINGS THUS
AMPLIFYING THE SOUND.
NEVER DRAIN OR DISPOSE OF ENGINE
OIL INTO THE GROUND OR DOMESTIC WASTE WATER
SYSTEMS.
LIFTING HOOK ASSEMBLY
Attach the lifting hook (A) to the carrier with 3/8 x 2.00” bolts
(B) and 3/8 nyloc nuts (C) as shown in the illustration. Tighten
the bolts firmly.
RAISING OR SUSPENDING GENERATOR
Failure to properly connect lifting
cables, chains or straps can cause property damage,
serious injury or death, and void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Always use cables, chains or straps
rated at 2000 lbs. working load or more to raise or
suspend generator.
Never operate generator while
suspended. This could cause property damage, serious
injury or death.
DO NOT suspend objects other
than generator from lifting hook.
Make sure all fasteners in frame
and lifting hook are tight.
Route cable, chain
or strap through
lifting hook (A) as
shown. ALWAYS
use lifting hook
when raising or
suspending
generator.

FEDERAL EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Pramac America, LLC (herein "Pramac America") are pleased to explain the Evaporative
Emission Control System (EECS) warranty on your 2011 model year and later generator. New equipment that uses small spark-ignited engines must be
designed, built, and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards for the federal government. Pramac America must warrant the evaporative emission
control system on your generator for the periods of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your
generator.
The evaporative emission control system on this generator includes all components whose failure would increase the generator evaporative emissions of
any regulated pollutant. These components are listed in the Warranted Parts section of this warranty.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This EECS warranty is valid for three years. If, during such warranty period, any evaporative emission-related part on your equipment is found to be
defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by an authorized Pramac America warranty service center.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the generator owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Pramac America recommends that
you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your generator, but Pramac America cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts. You should,
however, be aware that Pramac America may deny you warranty coverage if your generator or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your generator to an authorized Pramac America warranty service center or a distribution center as soon as the problem
exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your warranty
coverage, you should call Pramac America Product Service at 1-800-445-1805, Email: [e-mail].
DETAILS OF YOUR WARRANTY
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on emission-related parts is as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the EECS
period stated above. If the part fails during the period of EECS warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by Pramac America according
to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under EECS warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the EECS warranty period stated
above. Any such part repaired or replaced under EECS warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the period of time
before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement date, the part will be repaired or
replaced by Pramac America according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under EECS warranty will be warranted for the
remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement date for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any evaporative emissions warranted part under the EECS warranty provisions herein must be performed at an authorized
Pramac America warranty service center at no charge to the owner.
(5) The generator owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor that is directly associated with diagnosis of a defective, emission-related warranted part,
provided that such diagnostic work is performed at an authorized Pramac America warranty service center.
(6) Pramac America is liable for damages to other engine or generator components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.
(7) Throughout the generator warranty period stated above, Pramac America will maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected

provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the EECS warranty obligations of Pramac America.
(9) No modifications, other than those explicitly approved by Pramac America, may be made to the generator. Unapproved modifications void this
EECS warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing and EECS warranty claim.
(10) Pramac America shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any non-authorized replacement parts, or failures of any authorized parts caused by
the use of non-authorized replacement parts.
