EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
The generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical
lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads. This manual
contains information for a generator that operates
120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz devices that
require up to 3,600 watts (3.6 kW) of power that pull up
to 30.0 Amps at 120 Volts or 15.0 Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION! Do Not exceed the generator’s
wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated watts of all
devices you are connecting to generator receptacles at one
time. This total should not be greater than 3,600 watts.
See “Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 8.
The 3,600 watt portable generator has the following
features:
• 120/240 Volt, 20 Amp locking receptacle.
• 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.
• Low Oil Shutdown: Automatically shuts down the engine
if oil drops below safe operation level.
• 4 gallon overhead fuel tank.
• The generator’s revolving field is driven at about
3,600 rpm by a Briggs and Stratton 6.5 h.p. engine.
CAUTION! Do Not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase risk of personal injury or
damage to equipment. The generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage only when
running at proper governed speed. Incorrect
frequency and/or voltage can damage some
connected electrical loads. Operating at excessively
low speeds imposes a heavy load at such reduced
speeds, when adequate engine power is not
available, and may shorten engine life.
The Emission Control System for this generator is
warranted for standards set by the Environmental
Protection Agency. For warranty information refer to the
engine owner’s manual.
SAFETY RULES
This generator set was designed and manufactured for
specific applications. Do Not attempt to modify the unit
or use it for any application it was not designed for. If you
have any questions about your generator’s application, ask
your dealer/distributor or consult the factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every
circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that reason
warnings in the manual and warnings on tags or decals
affixed to the unit are not all–inclusive. If you intend to
handle, operate or service the unit by a procedure or
method not specifically recommended by the manufacturer,
first make sure that such a procedure or method will not
render this equipment unsafe or pose a threat to you and
others.
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator set. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
WARNING! You must isolate the generator
from the electric utility by opening the electrical
system’s main circuit breaker or main switch if this
unit is used for backup power. Failure to isolate
the generator from the power utility may
result in injury or death to electric utility
workers and damage to the generator due to
a backfeed of electrical energy. Whenever unit is
providing backup power, the electric utility must be
notified.
WARNING! Generator exhaust gases
contain DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
Carbon monoxide, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
death. Operate this equipment outdoors where
adequate ventilation is available.
The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING:

• The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can
cause serious injury or death by electrocution. Never
touch bare wires or receptacles. Never permit a child
or any unqualified 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 injury from electrocution may
result.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp
or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or steel
work).
•Never use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged
electrical cords with the generator. Death, serious injury
and property damage from 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 spilling gasoline 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 overfilled, fuel can overflow
onto a hot engine and cause a FIRE or an
EXPLOSION.
•Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where
gasoline vapors 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 adequate flow of cooling air for its
continued proper operation. Never operate the unit
inside any room or enclosure where the free flow of
cooling air into and out of the unit might be obstructed.
Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator,
even while 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 any electrical loads. Disconnect all electrical
loads before shutting down the generator.
•Do Not insert any object through cooling slots of the
engine. You could damage the unit or injure yourself.
•Never operate the generator:
in rain; in any enclosed compartment; when connected
electrical devices overheat; if electrical output is lost; if
engine or generator sparks; if flame or smoke is
observed while unit is running; if unit vibrates
excessively.
GROUNDING THE
GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts 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 1) is
provided on the cradle.
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut
and to an earth–driven copper or brass grounding 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 if ground 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 is on 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 has been properly serviced with the
recommended oil results in an engine failure.
NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a
pre–lubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no
additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.
Add Gasoline
WARNING! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do Not
light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
WARNING! Do Not overfill the fuel tank.
Always leave room 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.
• 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 10. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.

RECEPTACLES
This generator is equipped with the following receptacles:
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Duplex
Receptacle
This receptacle (Figure 7) is protected against overload by
a push-to-reset circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 20 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 8). You can use the same 4-wire cord if
you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts of power at
20 Amps for 120 Volts or 3,600 watts of power (3.6 kW) at
15.0 Amps for 240 Volts. The outlet is protected by a
push-to-reset circuit breaker.
CAUTION! Although this outlet states it has a
120/240 Volt 20 Amp rating (up to 4,800 watts), the
generator is only rated for 3,600 watts. Powering

DON’T OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to generator and to
connected electrical devices. Observe the following, to
prevent overloading the unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to 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 light bulbs.
The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can
usually be found on a data plate or decal affixed to the
device.
• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage,
multiply 120 Volts times ampere rating to determine
watts (volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require
about three times more watts of power for starting than
for running. This surge of power lasts for only a few
seconds when starting such motors. Be sure you allow
for this high starting wattage when selecting electrical
devices to 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 10) is provided to
help you determine how many items the generator can
operate at one time.

MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that
all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely
basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit
is kept clean and properly stored. Never operate a
damaged or defective generator.
Engine Maintenance
See engine owner’s manual for instructions.
CAUTION! Avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact with used motor oil. Used motor oil has
been shown to cause skin cancer in certain
laboratory animals. Thoroughly wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T
POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN
USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.
Generator Maintenance
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean
and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry
environment where it will not be exposed to excessive
dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air
slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,
leaves or any other foreign material.
NOTE: Do Not use a garden hose to clean the generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters generator through cooling air
slots, some of the water will be retained in voids and
cracks of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water
and dirt buildup on the generator internal windings will
eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these
windings.
To Clean the Generator
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt
or oil.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to
blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on
generator. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
STORAGE
The unit should be started at least once every seven days
and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be
done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days,
use the following guidelines to prepare it for storage.
Generator Storage
• Clean the generator as outlined in “To Clean the
Generator” on this page.
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
CAUTION! Storage covers can be flammable.
Do Not place a storage cover over a hot
generator. Let the unit cool for a sufficient time
before placing the cover on the unit.
Engine Storage
See engine owner’s manual for instructions.

Generac Portable Products (hereafter referred to as the COMPANY) warrants to the original purchaser that its generator
will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year* from the date of original purchase. This
warranty does not apply to units used for prime power in place of utility. This warranty does not include the gasoline
engine when furnished or attached because such engine is covered solely by the warranty of the manufacturer of the
engine. Starting batteries are not warranted by the COMPANY.
*NOTE: Rental units, demonstrators, commercial applications, such as construction or income producing, are warranted
for 90 days. Rental units, demonstrators, or commercial applications such as construction or utility which are resold are
not covered under warranty by the COMPANY. Any warranty, whether expressed or implied, rests solely with the seller.
During said warranty period, the COMPANY will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination by the
COMPANY is found to be defective under normal use and service. All transportation costs under warranty, including
return to the factory if necessary, are to be borne by the purchaser and prepaid by the purchaser. This warranty does not
include nominal maintenance and service and does not apply to a generator set, or parts, which have been subjected to
improper or unauthorized installation, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance,
repair or storage so as, in the COMPANY's judgment, to adversely affect its performance and reliability.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY. THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE DURATION OF
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IS LIMITED TO THE TIME PERIOD AS
SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR
SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES IS EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUCH AS THE LOSS OF TIME OR THE USE OF THE POWER
EQUIPMENT, OR ANY COMMERCIAL LOSS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT; AND ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusions or limitations of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
This warranty is effective for all products manufactured after June, 1998, and supersedes all prior warranties of the
COMPANY.
For service, contact your nearest COMPANY authorized warranty service facility or call 1-920-674-3750 extension 2421.
Warranty service can only be performed by a COMPANY authorized service facility. At the time of requesting warranty
service, evidence of original purchase date must be presented.
