Generac Portable Products 3,100 Watt Generator
EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
The generator isan engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designedto
supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical
lighting, appliance,tool and motor loads. This manual
contains information for agenerator that operates
120and/or 240 Volt, singlephase,60 Hz devicesthat
require up to 3,100 watts (3.1 kW) of power that pull up
to 25.8 Amps at 120Volts or 12.9Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION! Do Not exceed the generator's
wattage/amperagecapacity.Add up the rated watts of all
devicesyou are connecting to generator receptacles at one
time. This total should not be greater than 3,100watts.
See"Don't Overload the Generator" on page8.
The 3,100 watt portable generator hasthe following
features:
•120/240Volt, 20 Amp locking receptacle.
• 120Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.
• 3 quart overhead fuel tank.
• The generator's revolving field isdriven at about
3,600 rpm by a Briggsand Stratton 5.5 h.p. engine.
_AUTION! Do Not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speedsare
dangerous and increaserisk of personal injuryor
damageto equipment. The generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage only when
running at proper governed speed. Incorrect
frequency and/or voltage can damagesome
connected electrical loads.Operating at excessively
low speeds imposesa heavy loadat such reduced
speeds,when adequate engine power isnot
available,and mayshorten engine life.
SAFETY RULES
This generator set was designed and manufactured for
specific applications. Do Not attempt to modify the unit
or useit for anyapplication it was not designed for. If you
haveanyquestions about your generator's application, ask
your dealer/distributor or consult the factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every
circumstance that might involvea hazard. For that reason
warnings in the manual and warnings on tags or decals

touch bare wires or receptacles. Never permit a child
or anyunqualified person to operate the generator.
•Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while
standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet
are wet Death or serious injuryfrom electrocution may
result.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in anydamp
or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or steel
work).
• Never useworn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged
electrical cords with the generator. Death, serious injury
and property damagefrom electrical shock may result
•Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors
are EXPLOSIVE. Never allow smoking, open
flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while
handling gasoline. Avoid spillinggasoline on a hot
engine.Comply with all laws regulating storage and
handling of gasoline.
•Do Not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for
fuel expansion. If tank is overfllled, fuel can overflow
onto a hot engine and cause a FIRE or an
EXPLOSION.
•Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where
gasolinevapors might reach an open flame, spark or pilot
light (as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer). FIRE
or an EXPLOSION may result.
• The unit requires an adequateflow of cooling air for its
continued proper operation. Never operate the unit
insideanyroom or enclosure where the free flow of
cooling air intoand out of the unit might be obstructed.
Allow at least2 feet of clearanceon all sides of generator,
evenwhile operating unit outdoors, or you could damage
the unit
•Never start, or stop the unit with electrical loads
connected to receptacles with the connected devices
turned ON. Start the engine and let it stabilize before
connecting anyelectrical loads. Disconnect all electrical
loads before shutting down the generator.
•Do Not insertanyobject through cooling slots of the
engine.You could damagethe unit or injureyourself.
•Never operate the generator:
in rain; in any enclosedcompartment;when connected
electricaldevicesoverheat; if electrical output islost;if
engine or generator sparks; ifflame or smoke is
observed while unit isrunning; ifunit vibrates
excessively.
GROUNDING THE
G EN ERATO R
The National ElectricCode requires the frame and
external electrically conductiveparts of the generator be
properly connected to approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit For this purpose, a grounding wing nut (Figure I) is
provided on the cradle.
Generally, connecting a No. 12AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut
and to an earth-driven copper or brassgrounding rod
(electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical
shock. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with
a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area.
Be sure to keep the ground wire attached while you
connect the electrode.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical
shock ifground fault conditions exists in the generator or
in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in
ungrounded devices.

BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
Add Engine Oil
•Make sure unit ison a level surface.
• Follow the oil recommendations and oil fill instructions
given in the engine owner's manual.
CAUTION! Any attempt to crank or start the engine
before it hasbeen properly serviced with the
recommended oil results in an engine failure.
NOTE: The generator's revolving field rides on a
pre-lubricated and sealedball bearing that requires no
additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.
Add Gasoline
_WARNING! Never fillfuel tank indoors.Never
fillfuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do Not
light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
_ARNING! Do Not overfill the fuel tank.
Always leaveroom for expansion.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline in the generator.
Do Not use premium gasoline. Do Not mix oil with
gasoline. Do Not overfill the gas tank.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap; remove cap.
• Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline. Be
careful not to overfill. Allow 1.5" of tank space for fuel
expansion, as shown in Figure 2.
Tank
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See
"Storage" on page 9. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
IMPORTANT: When running your unit in cold weather
be sure to shelter the unit from the wind.

DON'T OVERLOAD THE
G EN ERATO R
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damageto generator and to
connected electrical devices. Observe the following, to
prevent overloading the unit:
•Add up the total wattage of all electrical devicesto be
connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generator's wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from lightbulbs.
The rated wattage of tools, appliancesand motors can
usually be found on a data plate or decal affixed to the
device.
• Ifthe appliance,tool or motor does not givewattage,
multiply 120Volts times ampere rating to determine
watts (volts x amps = watts).
• Someelectric motors, such asinductiontypes, require
about three times more watts of power for starting than
for running. This surge of power lastsfor only a few
secondswhen starting such motors. Be sure you allow
for this high starting wattage when selectingelectrical
devicesto connect to your generator. First figure the
watts needed to start the largest motor. Add to that
figure the running watts of all other connected loads.
• A Wattage Reference Guide (Figure IO) is provided to
help you determine how many itemsthe generator can
operate at one time.
