PRE-USECHECK
Prior to starting the generatorand adding loads, perform the
following tasks:
1. Make surethe generatorin on a firm, level,non-combustible
surfacewith at leastfive (5) feet of clearanceon all sides.
Never operate in an enclosed area or
indoors! NEVER use in the home, 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.
4. Replaceand securethe left sideservicecover.
5. Makesurethereare no loadsconnectedto the generator.
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 generatorwill prevent electrical shock in
the event of a ground fault condition in the generatoror in
connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipatestatic electricity,which often builds up in unguarded
devices.
7. Local electricalcodes may also require proper grounding of
thegenerator.
,ACAUTION!

the blackto negative(-).
ADo 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.
_Sterage 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.
_1 NEVER reverse the polarity when connecting
the battery terminals to the charging jack.
Severe damage may occur to the generator
and battery.
2. Keepthe FlexPowerTM switch in the "OFF"(O) position.
3. Start the generatorand use it as normal. Chargingtime will
vary with batterysize andcondition. Checkthe voltageatthe
batteryterminalsoncethe chargingcablehasbeenunplugged
or the generatorhasbeenshut down.
This receptacle can not recharge 6=Volt batteries
and can net be used to crank an engine having a
discharged battery.

Changethe engine oil after the first five (5) hours of operation.
Changethe engineoil every 100 hours thereafter.To changethe
engineoil:
1. Run the generatorbriefly to warm the engine oil; this also
loosens any engine deposits and makesthe used oil flow
easier.
ACAUTION!
_l 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.
2. Placethe generatorover a drain pan and removethe drain
plug. Tipthe generatoron its sideto drain the usedoil from
thecrankcase. NOTE:
Tomake drainingthe 0il easier, a 6" lengthof vinyl(PVC)hose
with an insidediameterof 1.25" {32ram) any be placedover
thedrainlip,
3. Tip the generatoruprightonce the oil hasfinished draining.
Replacethe engine oil with the proper grade called out in
Section"ADDINGENGINEOIL',thenreplacethe drainplug.
CHANGINGTHEFUELFILTEB

TRANSPORTATIONAND STORAGE
Transportor store the generatoronly if it has cooled completely.
Makesurethe fuel valve and the vent on the fuel cap are both in
the OFF("0") position.
It is important to preventgum depositsfrom forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel hoseor tank during
long-termstorage.Also, experienceindicatesthat alcohol-blended
fuels (calledgasohol, ethanolor methanol) can attract moisture,
which leadsto separationandformationof acids;theseacids gas
can damagethe fuel systemof an enginewhile in storage.
Toavoid engineproblems,the useof a commercial fuel stabilizer
prior to storage is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's
instructionswhenaddingthefuel stabilizer.
Ifthe generatoris goingto be storedfor morethansix (6) months,
the generatorshould be preparedasfollows:
1. Removeall gasolinefrom thefueltank.
2. Startandrunengineuntilenginestopsfrom tackoffueloropen
the valve on carburetorbowl (Figure13), and allow gasoline

4. Removespark plugs and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 mt) of
engineoil intothe cylinders. Coverspark plug hole with rag.
Pull the starting rope severaltimes to coat the cylinder walls
with engineoil.
5. Installandtightenthe spark plug.
6. Cleanthe generatorouter surfaces. Check that cooling air

FEDERAL EM|_ WARRANTY
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLiGATiONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the
Emission Control System warranty on your new 2008 and later equipment. New equipment that use small spark-ignited engines
must be designed, built, and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards for the federal government. Generac will warrant
the emission control system on your generator for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect,
unapproved modification or improper maintenance of your equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the: carburetor, ignition system, fuel system, catalytic converter, and other
associated emission-related components (if equipped).
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part on your
equipment is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac
Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the generator owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied
Owner's Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your
generator, but Generac cannot deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts.
As the generator owner, you should be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your
generator, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications, or
the use of counterfeit and/or "grey market" parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.
You are responsible for contacting a Generac Authorized Warranty Dealer as soon as a problem occurs, The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer. To
locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer nearest you, call our toll free number:

(ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to federal law. See also the "Generac Limited Warranties for
Generac Power Systems, Inc.," which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by Generac. Note that this
warranty shall not apply to any incidental, consequential or indirect damages caused by defects in materials or workmanship or
any delay in repair or replacement of the defective part(s). This warranty is in place of all other warranties, expressed or implied.
Specifically, Generac makes no other warranties as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the Generac Warranty shall apply. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty
describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service,
evidence must be presented showing the date of the sate to the original purchaser/owner.

replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall
be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner's Manual shall be warranted
for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in the Owner's Manual to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary" shall not
reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner's Manual shall be warranted
for the period of time prior to first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled
