SAFETY

EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION

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.

This generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical
lighting, appliances,tools 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 7,500 watts (7.5 kW) of power that draw up
to 62.5 Amps at 120 Volts or 31.2 Amps at 240 Volts.

RULES

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.

CAUTION!
Do capacity.Add
Not exceed the
generator's
wattage/amperage
up the
rated watts
of all devices you are connecting to generator
receptacles at one time. This total should not be
greater than 7,500 watts. See "Don't Overload The
Generator" on page 12.

Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator
set. Know its applications,
its
limitations
and any hazards involved.

The 7,500EXL generator has the following features:
• 120/240Volt, 30 Amp locking receptacle, a 120Volt,
30 Amp locking receptacle, a 120 Volt, 20 Amp
receptacle, and a 120/240 Volt, 50 Amp receptacle.
• Low Oil Shutdown: Automatically shuts down the engine
if oil drops below safe operating pressure.
• Sevengallon overhead fuel tank with fuel gauge.
• The generator's revolving field is driven at about
3600 rpm by a Generac Power Systems 15 HP electric
start engine.

DANGER!

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.

ANGER!

and
increase risk of personal injury or damageto
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. When adequate engine power is not available,
engine life may be shortened.

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.

Generac Portable Products 7,500 EXL Generator

• 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 operate the generator:
in rain; in any enclosedcompartment; 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.

• 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.

GROUNDING
THE
G EN ERATO R

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp
or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or steel
work).

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 ground lug (Figure I) is provided
on the cradle.

• 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 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
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 adequateflow of cooling air for its
continued proper operation. Never operate the unit
insideany 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 See "Cold Weather Operation" on page 10.

Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the ground lug screw 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.

• 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.

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.

• Do Not insertany object through cooling slots of the
engine.You could damagethe unit or injureyourself.

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.
