2 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.

Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before

installing, operating or servicing this equipment.

Become familiar with this manual and with the unit.

The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reli-

ably only if it is properly installed, operated and

maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to

follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.

Generac cannot possibly anticipate every possible

circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warn-

ings in this manual, and on tags and decals

affixed to the unit, are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If

you use a procedure, work method or operating tech-

nique Generac does not specifically recommend, you

must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others.

You also must make sure the procedure, work

method or operating technique that you choose does

not render the generator unsafe.

Despite the safe design of this generator,

operating this equipment imprudently, neglect-

ing its maintenance or being careless can cause

possible injury or death. Permit only responsi-

ble and capable persons to operate or maintain

this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by

these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to

render the machine safe before attempting to

work on the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot

during operation. Exercise care near running

generators.

GENERAL HAZARDS

• For safety reasons, Generac recommends

that the installation, initial start-up and mainte-

nance of this equipment is carried out by a

Generac Authorized Service Dealer.

• The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon

monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This

dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentra-

tions, can cause unconsciousness or even death.

Never operate the generator set with the vehicle

inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT

OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST

SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED.

SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISON-

ING ARE (a) inability to think coherently, (b) nau-

sea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throb-

bing temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h)

weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF YOU EXPERI-

ENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO

FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PER-

SIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the gener-

ator and do not operate it until it has been inspect-

ed and repaired.

• Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is run-

ning unless the vehicle has a working carbon

monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be

installed in accordance with the genset installation

manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when

operating the genset in a confined area.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive

belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never

remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is

operating.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-

lating air is critical to correct generator operation

and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel

vapors from the generator compartment. Without

sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator

quickly overheats, which causes serious damage to

the generator. Do not alter the installation or per-

mit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,

as this can seriously affect safe operation of the

generator.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at

all times. Never work on the equipment when you

are physically or mentally fatigued.

• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact your

nearest Generac Authorized Service Dealer imme-

diately for parts needing repair or replacement.

known to the state of California to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING:

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 3

• Before performing any maintenance on the genera-

tor, disconnect its battery cables to prevent acci-

dental start up. Disconnect the cable from the bat-

tery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–)

first. Reconnect that cable last.

• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a

step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break

parts, and may result in dangerous operating con-

ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage,

oil leakage, etc.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• The generator covered by this manual produces

dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal

electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter-

minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running.

Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers

are in place before operating the generator. If you

must work around an operating unit, stand on an

insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.

• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while

standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands

or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL

SHOCK MAY RESULT.

• During installation onto the vehicle, have the gen-

erator properly grounded (bonded) either by solid

mounting to the vehicle frame or chassis, or by

means of an approved bonding conductor. DO

NOT disconnect the bonding conductor, if so

equipped. DO NOT reconnect the bonding conduc-

tor to any generator part that might be removed or

disassembled during routine maintenance. If the

grounding conductor must be replaced, use only a

flexible conductor that is of No. 8 American Wire

Gauge (AWG) copper wire minimum.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, imme-

diately shut down the source of electrical power. If

this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from

the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT

WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting imple-

ment, such as a rope or board, to free the victim

from the live conductor. If the victim is uncon-

scious, apply first aid and get immediate medical

help.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip-

ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in

electric shock, or may get caught in moving com-

ponents causing injury.

FIRE HAZARDS

• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and

maintained properly. Installation always must

comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and

regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and

national electrical and building codes. Comply

with regulations the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) has established.

Also, ensure that the generator is installed in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

and recommendations. Following proper installa-

tion, do nothing that might alter a safe installation

and render the unit in noncompliance with the

aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regu-

lations.

• Keep a fire extinguisher in the vehicle at all times.

Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National Fire

Protection Association are appropriate for use on

the recreational vehicle generator electrical sys-

tem. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and

be familiar with its use. If you have any question

pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult your local

fire department.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS

• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any

fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com-

bustible materials are left in the generator com-

partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or

EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surround-

ing the generator clean and free from debris.

• Gasoline is extremely FLAMMABLE and its vapors

are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open

flame, sparks or any source of heat in the vicinity

while handling gasoline. Comply with all laws gov-

erning the storage and handling of gasoline.

• This generator may use liquid propane (LP) gas as

a fuel. LP gas is highly EXPLOSIVE. The gas is

heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas

where even the slightest spark can ignite the gas

and cause an explosion.

1.2 GENERATOR APPLICABILITY

These generators have been designed and manufac-

tured for supplying electrical power for recreational

vehicles. You should not modify the generator or use

it for any application other than for what it was

designed. If there are any questions pertaining to its

application, write or call the factory. Do not use the

unit until you have been advised by competent

authority.

For fire safety, the generator must have been

properly installed in compliance with ANSI

119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974, “Standard for

Recreational Vehicles, Part III – Installation of

Electrical Systems.” The generator also must

have been installed in strict compliance with

the manufacturer’s detailed installation instruc-

tions. After installation, do nothing that might

render the unit in noncompliance with such

codes, standards and instructions.

You can use your generator set to supply electrical

power for operating one of the following electrical

loads:

• QUIETPACT 55G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin-

gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can

require up to 5500 watts (5.5 kW) of total power,

but cannot exceed 45.8 AC amperes of current at

120 volts or exceed 22.9 AC amperes at 240 volts.

• QUIETPACT 65G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin-

gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can

require up to 6500 watts (6.5 kW) of total power,

but cannot exceed 54.1 AC amperes of current at

120 volts or exceed 27 AC amperes at 240 volts.

• QUIETPACT 75G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin-

gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can

require up to 7500 watts (7.5 kW) of total power,

but cannot exceed 62.5 AC amperes of current at

120 volts or exceed 31.2 AC amperes at 240 volts.

Do not overload the generator. Some installa-

tions may require that electrical loads be alter-

nated to avoid overloading. Applying excessive-

ly high electrical loads may damage the genera-

tor and may shorten its life. Add up the rated

watts of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool

and motor loads the generator will power at

one time. This total should not be greater than

the wattage capacity of the generator. If an

electrical device nameplate gives only volts and

amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain watts

(volts x amps = watts). Some electric motors

require more watts of power (or amps of cur-

rent) for starting than for continuous operation.

1.3 INSTALLATION

This Owner’s Manual has been prepared under the

assumption that a competent, qualified technician

installed the generator into a recreational vehicle. We

also assume the installer complied with all applicable

codes, standards and regulations pertaining to instal-

lation.

An INSTALLATION MANUAL was shipped with the

generator. That Manual contains manufacturer’s

instructions and recommendations for installing the

unit into an industrial vehicle. After installation,

installers should forward the Installation Manual to

Owners/Operators for their information.

Owners/Operators have the responsibility to make

sure that nothing is done that might render the instal-

lation unsafe or in non-compliance with applicable

codes, standards and instructions.

1.4 SAFETY

Before using the generator set, carefully read GEN-

ERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply with

these RULES to prevent accidents and damage to

equipment and/or property. Generac suggests copy-

ing and posting the GENERAL SAFETY RULES to

potential operators of this equipment.

1.5 GENERATOR AC CONNECTION

SYSTEM

These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with

dual stator AC power windings. These two stator

windings supply electrical power to customer electri-

cal loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection sys-

tem.

Generators may be installed to provide the following

outputs:

1. 120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum

total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s

rated power output (in watts), and 120V across

the generator output terminals. Figure 1.1, page

6, shows the generator lead wire connections for

120VAC ONLY.

2. 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum

total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s

rated power output, and 240V across the genera-

tor output terminals; or two seperate loads, each

with a maximum total wattage requirement equal

to half of the generator’s rated power output (in

watts), and 120V across the generator output ter-

minals. Figure 1.2, page 6, shows the generator

lead wire connections for 120/240 VAC loads.

Also refer to section 2.1.4 Line Breakers for cir-

cuit breaker ratings.

This procedure should be done by a Generac

Authorized Service Dealer or other qualified installer.

1.6 SPECIFICATIONS

1.6.1 FUEL REQUIREMENTS (GASOLINE)

This generator is equipped with a gasoline fuel system

as standard equipment. Specific installations may pro-

vide either a separate fuel tank for the generator, or the

generator may “share” the vehicle engine’s fuel tank.

1.6.1.1 Fuel Consumption (gph/lbs.ph)

NOTE

Some installations using a “shared” fuel tank may

have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter

than the vehicle engine’s pickup tube. Such an

arrangement causes the generator engine to “run

out of gas” while adequate fuel for the vehicle

remains in the tank.

To reduce lead and carbon deposits use high quality

UNLEADED gasoline with the generator. Leaded

REGULAR grade gasoline is an acceptable substitute.

NOTE:

Using unleaded gasoline contributes to longer engine

valve life by reducing lead and carbon deposits.

Generac does not recommend using any

gasoline containing alcohol (such as “gasohol”).

If you use any gasoline containing alcohol, it

must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol,

and it must be removed from the generator

during storage. Do NOT use any gasoline

containing methanol. If you use gasoline with

alcohol, inspect more frequently for fuel leaks

and other abnormalities.

1.6.2 ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS

Use only high quality detergent oil classified “For

Service SF” and with an oil viscosity rating of SAE

10W-30 oil. Do not pour in any additives to the rec-

ommended oil. Engine crankcase capacity is 1.8

liters or 1.9 quarts with oil filter change. See Section

3.2 on page 11 for oil level check and filing proce-

dures.

For nonhandled engines the Emissions Compliance

Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance

Label indicates the number of operating hours for

which the engine has been shown to meet Federal

emission requirements.

• For engines less than 225 cc displacement,

Category C=125 hours, B=250 hours, and A=500

hours.

hours, B=500 hours, and A=1000 hours.

2.1 GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The following features are mounted on the generator

control panel (Figure 2.1):

2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER

Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start-

ed in more than two weeks), you must press this

switch for approximately ten seconds to bring fuel

from the tank to the fuel pump. This rocker type

switch springs back into its original position when

you release it.

2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the

START position. Release the switch when the engine

starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold

the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts

off. The switch center position is the RUN position.

2.1.3 7.5 AMP FUSE

The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit

against electrical overload. If the fuse element has

melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be

cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an

identical 7.5 amp replacement fuse.

2.1.4 LINE BREAKERS

Protects generator’s AC output circiut against

overload, i.e., prevents unit from exceeding

wattage/amperage capacity. The circuit breaker rat-

ings are as follows:

NOTE:

If this generator has been reconnected for dual

voltage AC output (120/240 volts), you can install

line breakers having an amperage rating that is

different than that stated above. The replacement

line breakers consist of two separate breakers with

a connecting piece between the breaker handles

(so that both breakers will operate at the same

time). If the unit is reconnected for dual voltage,

it is no longer RVIA or CSA listed.

2.2 OPTIONAL REMOTE

START/STOP PANEL

A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel (Figure 2.2) is

available that allows you to start and stop the gener-

ator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The

remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hourme-

ter, generator run lamp and a wire harness.

Figure 2.2 — Optional Remote Panel

(Models 004057 and 004184)

2.3 AUTOMATIC CHOKE

This engine is equipped with an automatic choke that

consists of two main components: a choke solenoid

and prechoke.

2.3.1 CHOKE SOLENOID

During engine cranking (Start/Stop switch at

START), a solid-state choke module signals the

choke solenoid to activate and cycle (choke on/choke

off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid thus

opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only

when the engine is cranking. When the engine starts,

the choke stops cycling.

2.3.2 PRECHOKE

The choke system also has a temperature-sensitive

metal strip that adjusts choke valve angle according

to ambient temperatures (i.e., in cold ambient tem-

peratures, choke valve closes more). Once the engine

starts, an element heats the temperature-sensitive

strip to a normal operating condition, opening the

choke valve. This may take about three minutes in

cooler weather.

2.4 BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

NOTE:

Instructions and information in this manual

assume the generator has been properly installed,

connected, serviced, tested and adjusted by a

qualified installation technician or installation

contractor.

2.4.1 INSTALLATION

Generator installation must have been properly com-

pleted so it complies with all applicable codes, stan-

dards and regulations and with the manufacturer's

recommendations.

2.4.2 ENGINE LUBRICATION

Have the engine crankcase properly serviced with the

recommended oil before starting. Refer to Section

1.6.3 (Page 6) and Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (Page 11) for

oil servicing procedures and recommendations.

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before

you have properly serviced it with the recom-

mended oil may result in an engine failure.

2.4.3 FUEL SUPPLY

The engine must have an adequate supply of proper

fuel to operate. Before starting it, check that sufficient

fuel is available.

NOTE:

Depending on the installation, the generator may

have either a separate fuel tank, or it may “share”

the vehicle engine’s fuel tank.

2.4.4 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR

Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator com-

partment must be open and unobstructed for contin-

ued proper operation. Without sufficient cooling and

ventilating airflow, the engine/generator quickly over-

heats, which causes it to shut down and may damage

the generator.

2.4.5 ENGINE EXHAUST GAS

Before starting the generator engine, you should be

sure there is no way for exhaust gases to enter the

vehicle interior and endanger people or animals.

Close windows, doors and other openings in the vehi-

cle that, if open, might permit exhaust gases to enter

the vehicle.

◆

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 9

Section 2 – Operation

QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators

The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon

monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This

dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concen-

trations, can cause unconsciousness or even

death. Never operate the generator set with

the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed

area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE

EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN

DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOX-

IDE POISONING ARE (a) inability to think coher-

ently, (b) nausea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching

muscles, (e) throbbing temples, (f) dizziness, (g)

headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF

YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS,

MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMP-

TOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down

the generator and do not operate it until it has

been inspected and repaired.

Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is

running unless the vehicle has a working carbon

monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be

installed in accordance with the genset installa-

tion manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air

when operating the genset in a confined area.

2.5 STARTING THE GENERATOR

NOTE:

Read the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. The

owner/operator should become familiar with the

vehicle in which this generator is installed.

Differences exist between vehicles. For example,

some vehicles may use a transfer switch to isolate

dockside power from the generator, while other

vehicles may use an isolating receptacle. Some

vehicles may be equipped with a DC converter

which allows the generator to power certain DC

lighting and other DC loads.

To crank and start the generator engine, proceed as

follows:

1. Turn OFF electrical loads using the means pro-

vided in your vehicle (such as a main line circuit

breaker or transfer switch).

NOTE:

If starting from the generator control panel, turn

OFF loads by setting the generator’s main circuit

breaker to the OFF (or open) position. If starting

from a remote panel, turn OFF loads using the

means provided in the vehicle (such as a main cir-

cuit breaker). Electrical load circuits will be

turned ON after the generator has started, stabi-

lized and warmed up.

2. If you have not started the engine in more than

two weeks, press the Fuel Pump Primer switch

and hold it for about 10 seconds. However, if the

engine is warm, skip Step 2.

3. To crank and start the engine, hold the start/stop

switch at START. Release the switch when the

engine starts.

If the engine does not start after it has been

cranking for 15 seconds, release the Start/Stop

switch and wait 1 minute before trying again.

Holding the switch for longer than 15 seconds

can damage the starter motor.

4. Let the engine run at no-load for a few minutes to

stabilize and warm up.

5. Turn ON electrical loads using the means

provided (such as a main circuit breaker or

transfer switch).

2.6 STOPPING THE GENERATOR

1. Turn OFF all electrical loads using the means

provided (such as a main circuit breaker or

transfer switch).

2. Let generator run at no-load for a few minutes, to

stabilize internal engine generator temperatures.

3. Place the Start/Stop switch in its STOP position.

The engine will come to a complete stop.

2.7 APPLYING LOADS TO GENERATOR

When applying electrical loads to the generator,

observe these guidelines:

• Before applying electrical loads, let the generator

stabilize and warm up for a minute or two.

• DO NOT overload the generator.

2.7.1 LETTING THE ENGINE STABILIZE

The generator supplies correct rated voltage only at

the proper governed speed. Some electrical appli-

ances may be extremely sensitive to voltage. Incorrect

voltages can damage such appliances.

If electrical loads are applied at reduced operating

speeds, such loads imposed on the engine when suf-

ficient power is not available may shorten engine life.

Never turn ON electrical loads until after the genera-

tor engine has started and stabilized at no-load.

QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators

2.7.2 DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR

You can read the rated wattage/amperage capacity of

your generator on the generator data decal (see

Section 1.1 on Page 4).

Applying electrical loads in excess of the unit’s rated

capacity will cause the engine/generator to automati-

cally shut down.

To avoid overloading, add up the wattage of all con-

nected electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor

loads. This total should not be greater than the gen-

erator’s rated wattage capacity.

• Most lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads indi-

cate their required watts on their nameplate or

data plate. For light bulbs, simply note the wattage

rating of the bulb.

• If a load does not show its rated wattage, multiply

that load’s rated VOLTS times AMPS to obtain

WATTS.

• Induction type motors (such as those that run the

vehicle’s furnace fan, refrigerator, air conditioner,

etc.) need about 2-1/2 times more watts of power

for starting than for running (for a few seconds

during motor starting). Be sure to allow for this

when connecting electrical loads to the generator.

First, figure the watts needed to start electric

motors in the system. To that figure, add the run-

ning wattages of other items that will be operated

by the generator.

• Do not apply heavy electrical loads for the first two

or three hours of operation.

2.8 PROTECTION SYSTEMS

2.8.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

This switch (Figure 2.3) has normally closed (N.C.)

contacts that are held open by engine oil pressure

during cranking and operating. Should oil pressure

drop below a preset level, switch contacts close, and

the engine automatically shuts down. The unit should

not be restarted until oil is added.

2.8.2 HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH

This switch (Figure 2.3), which has normally open

(N.O.) contacts, is mounted near the oil filter. The

contacts close if the temperature should exceed

approximately 270º F (132º C) for gasoline models,

and 284° F (140° C) for LP models, initiating an

engine shutdown.

Figure 2.3 – Low Oil Pressure and

High Temperature Switches

2.8.3 FIELD BOOST

The Controller Circuit Board houses a field boost

diode and resistor that are not part of the automatic

choke circuit. These two components are part of a

“field boost” circuit (Figure 2.4). During engine

cranking only, a positive DC (battery) voltage is deliv-

ered through a diode, resistor, brushes, slip rings,

and the generator rotor. Application of this voltage to

the rotor “flashes the field” whenever it is started.

Flashing of the field each time the generator starts

makes sure that a sufficiently strong magnetic field is

available to produce “pickup” voltage in the stator

windings.

Figure 2.4 – Field Boost Circuit

◆

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 11

Section 3 – Maintenance

QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators

2.8.4 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION

A solid-state voltage regulator (Figure 2.5) controls

the generator’s AC output voltage. This regulator sup-

plies an excitation current to the rotor. By regulating

the rotor’s excitation current, the strength of its mag-

netic field is regulated and, in turn, the voltage deliv-

ered to connected electrical loads is controlled. When

the AC frequency is 60 Hertz, voltage is regulated at

115 volts.

Figure 2.5 – Solid State Voltage Regulator

The voltage regulator also incorporates a “voltage

surge protection circuit.” This circuit prevents trou-

blesome surges in the generator AC output voltage.

Voltage surge is a common cause of damage to elec-

tronic equipment.

2.8.5 25-HOUR BREAK-IN PERIOD

The first 25 hours of operation is the break-in period

for the generator. Properly breaking in the generator

is essential to minimize fuel consumption and pro-

vide maximum engine performance. During this 25-

hour break-in period, follow this procedure:

• Run the unit at varying electrical loads to help seat

the engine piston rings properly.

• Check the engine oil level frequently. Add oil if

needed. It is normal for the generator engine to

consume more oil than is normal until the piston

rings have properly seated.

• For the 75-hour operation following the break-in

period, avoid light electrical loads. Load the

generator at 50 percent (or more) of its rated

wattage capacity. Repeated light loads during these

75 hours can cause improper seating of engine pis-

ton rings, resulting in blowby and high oil con-

sumption.

• After operating the unit for 25 hours, complete the

tasks recommended under Section 2.8.6.

2.8.6 25-HOUR CHECK-UP

After the 25-hour break-in period, contact a Generac

Authorized Service Dealer for the following mainte-

nance. (The vehicle owner is responsible for any

charges relating to normal unit maintenance.)

• Change the engine crankcase oil and oil filter.

• Check all fluid levels.

• Inspect the cooling and ventilation openings.

• Check the engine ignition system.

• Inspect the entire electrical system.

• Inspect the engine exhaust system.

2.8.7 OPERATION IN HIGH GRASS

OR BRUSH

Never operate the generator while the vehicle

is parked over high grass, weeds, brush,

leaves or any other combustible substance.

Such materials can ignite and burn from the

heat of the exhaust system. The generator

exhaust system becomes extremely hot dur-

ing operation and remains hot for a long time

after it has shut down.

3.1 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL

LEVEL

For oil capacities and requirements, see “Engine Oil

Requirements,” Section 1.6.2 (Page 6). Check the

engine crankcase oil level at least every eight hours of

operation, or before you use it. To check the engine

oil level, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.1):

1. Be sure the generator is as level as possible.

2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean,

lint-free cloth.

3. Install and tighten the dipstick cap; then, remove

it again. The oil level should be at the dipstick

“Full” mark.

4. If necessary, remove the oil fill cap on the rocker

cover and slowly add oil until it reaches the dip-

stick “Full” mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE

“FULL” MARK.

Never operate the engine with the oil level

below the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing

this could damage the engine.

5. Install and tighten the oil fill cap and the dipstick

before operating the engine.

3.2 CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL

AND/OR OIL FILTER

• Change the engine oil after the first 25 hours of

operation (after the 25-hour break-in period, see

Section 2.8.5, Page 10). Thereafter, change the

oil every 100 operating hours. Change the oil more

frequently if operating consistently under heavy

load or at high ambient temperatures.

• Change the engine oil filter after the first 25 hours

of operation, and every 100 operating hours there-

after.

To change the oil and/or oil filter, proceed as

follows:

1. Run the engine until it is thoroughly warmed up

(at least five minutes) then shut OFF the engine.

2. With the engine still warm from running, remove

the oil drain plug (Figure 3.1). Drain the oil into

a suitable container.

Figure 3.1 — Oil Dipstick/Fill Tube and

Location of Oil Drain Plug

3. After the oil has drained, replace the oil drain

plug. (If only changing the oil, go to step 7.)

4. With the oil drained, remove the old oil filter by

turning it counterclockwise (Figure 3.2).

5. Apply a light coating of clean engine oil to the gas-

ket of the new filter.

6. Screw the new filter on by hand until its gasket

lightly contacts the oil filter adapter. Then, tight-

en the filter an additional 3/4 to one turn.

7. Remove the dipstick and fill crankcase with the

proper type and amount of recommended oil (see

Section 1.6.2, Page 6). The engine crankcase can

hold about 1.8 liters or 1.9 quarts with oil filter

change. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL”

MARK.

8. Install and tighten the dipstick before operating

the engine.

9. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Figure 3.2 — Engine Oil Filter

NOTE:

Check the oil level and fill to the “FULL” mark after

checking for leaks. The filter will retain some oil.

3.3 MAINTAINING THE ENGINE

AIR CLEANER

3.3.1 CLEANING THE FOAM PRECLEANER

Clean and re-oil the foam precleaner every three

months or every 25 hours of operation, whichever

occurs first. Service the foam precleaner more fre-

quently if operating the generator in extremely dusty

or dirty conditions. Use the following procedure

(Figure 3.3):

1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen.

2. Remove the cover, foam precleaner and paper fil-

ter.

3. Remove the foam precleaner from the cover.

4. Wash the foam precleaner in liquid detergent and

water.

5. Wrap the foam precleaner in a clean cloth and

gently squeeze it dry.

6. Saturate the foam precleaner in clean engine oil.

Gently squeeze it in a clean cloth to remove

excess oil and to distribute oil (DO NOT TWIST).

7. Install the foam precleaner into the cover, fol-

lowed by the paper filter. Tabs at edges of paper

filter must lock into slots on cover.

8. Install the cover, foam precleaner and paper filter.

9. Replace knob to retain the filter in place.

3.4 CHECKING THE ENGINE

SPARK PLUG

Clean the spark plug and reset the spark plug gap

every 100 hours of operation.

1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plug

to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean by

scraping or washing using a wire brush and com-

mercial solvent. Do not blast the spark plug to

clean.

2. Remove the spark plug and check the condition.

Replace the spark plug if worn or if reuse is ques-

tionable.

3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler

gauge. Adjust the gap to 0.030 inch (0.76 mm)

by carefully bending the ground electrode

(Figure 3.4).

Figure 3.4 – Setting the Spark Plug Gap

Sparking can occur if the wire terminal does

not fit firmly on the spark plug terminal end. If

necessary, re-form the wire terminal to obtain a

tight fit.

3.5 FUEL FILTER (GASOLINE ONLY)

Remove and replace the fuel filter (Figure 3.5)

once each year or every 400 hours of operation,

whichever comes first.

Figure 3.5 – Fuel Filter

3.6 CLEAN SPARK ARRESTOR

The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor

screen. Inspect and clean the screen every 50 hours

of operation or once each year, whichever comes first.

NOTE:

If you use your generator on any forest-covered,

brush-covered or grass-covered unimproved land,

it must equipped with a spark arrestor. The spark

arrestor must be maintained in good condition by

the owner/operator.

Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows:

• Remove the screen retaining bracket by removing

the screw.

• Slide the spark arrestor screen out from the tail

pipe.

• Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or

otherwise damaged. DO NOT USE a defective

screen. If screen is not damaged, clean it with com-

mercial solvent.

• Replace the screen and the retaining bracket.

3.7 CLEANING THE GENERATOR

Keep the generator set as clean and dry as possible.

Protect the unit against excessive dust, dirt, corrosive

vapors, road splash, etc. Permitting dirt and mois-

ture to accumulate on generator windings will have

an adverse effect on the insulation resistance of those

windings.

When moisture is allowed to remain in contact with

windings, some of the moisture will be retained in

voids and cracks in the insulation. This causes a

reduced insulation resistance and will eventually

cause problems. Dirt will make the problem worse,

since dirt tends to hold moisture in contact with

windings. Salt (as from sea air) also will worsen the

problem since it tends to absorb moisture from the

air. Salt and moisture, when combined, form a good

electrical conductor.

Do NOT use a forceful spray of water to clean

the generator. Water will enter the generator

interior and cause problems, and may also cont-

aminate the generator fuel system.

3.8 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

All lead-acid batteries will discharge when not in use.

The generator battery should be inspected as follows:

3.8.1 WEEKLY

• Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness

and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.

• Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries

and, if necessary, fill with Distilled Water Only. Do

not use tap water in batteries.

3.8.2 EVERY SIX MONTHS

• Have the state of charge and condition checked.

This should be done with an automotive-type bat-

tery hydrometer.

NOTE:

Servicing of the battery is to be performed or

supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batter-

ies and the required precautions. Keep unautho-

rized personnel away from batteries.

Damage will result if the battery connections are

made in reverse.

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The

battery is capable of exploding. Storage batter-

ies give off explosive hydrogen gas. This gas

can form an explosive mixture around the bat-

tery for several hours after charging. The

slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an

explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the

battery and cause blindness or other injury.

Any area that houses a storage battery must be

properly ventilated. Do not allow smoking,

open flame, sparks, or any spark producing

tools or equipment near the battery. Discharge

static electricity from your body before touch-

ing the battery by first touching a grounded

metal surface.

A battery presents a risk of electrical shock

and high short circuit current. The following

precautions are to be observed when working

on batteries:

• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects;

• Use tools with insulated handles;

• Wear rubber gloves and boots;

• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the

battery;

• Disconnect any charging source prior to connecting

or disconnecting battery terminals; and

• Do not use any jumper cables or booster battery to

crank and start the generator engine. If any battery

has discharged, remove it for recharging.

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released

electrolyte has been known to be harmful to

the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.

The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is

harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically

conductive and corrosive. The following

procedures are to be observed:

• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;

• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off

immediately with water;

• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush

thoroughly and immediately with water and seek

medical attention; and

• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an

acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to

use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate

of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) or water. The bicar-

bonate of soda solution is to be added until the

evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The

resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the

area dried.

3.12 OUT OF SERVICE PROCEDURE

3.12.1 REMOVAL FROM SERVICE

If you cannot exercise the generator every seven days,

and it is to be out of service longer than 30 days, pre-

pare the generator for storage as follows:

1. Start the engine and let it warm up.

2. Close the fuel shutoff valve in the fuel supply line

and allow the unit to shut down.

3. While the engine is still warm from running,

drain the oil completely. Refill the crankcase with

SAE 5W-30 oil having API classification “For

Service SF.”

4. Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity

and classification of the oil in the crankcase.

5. Remove the spark plug and pour two or three

tablespoons of clean, fresh engine oil into the

spark plug threaded openings. Reinstall and

tighten the spark plug.

6. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry

room on a wooden board. Never store the battery

on any concrete or earthen floor.

7. Clean and wipe the entire generator.

3.12.2 RETURN TO SERVICE

To return the unit to service after storage, proceed

as follows:

1. Check the tag on the engine for oil viscosity and

classification. Verify that the correct recommend-

ed oil is used in the engine (see Section 1.5.4,

Page 6). If necessary, drain and refill with the

proper oil.

2. Check the state of the battery. Fill all cells of

unsealed batteries to the proper level with distilled

water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN THE BAT-

TERY. Recharge the battery to 100 percent state of

charge, or, if defective, replace the battery.

3. Clean and wipe the entire generator.

4. Reconnect the battery. Observe battery polarity.

Damage may occur if the battery is connected

incorrectly.

5. Turn OFF all electrical loads. Add fuel if neces-

sary and then start the engine.

6. Allow the unit to warm up thoroughly.

7. Apply electrical loads to at least 50 percent of the

unit’s rated wattage capacity.

8. When the engine is thoroughly warmed up, shut

it down.

9. Your generator is now ready for service.

NOTICE TO INSTALLER

These Installation Instructions have been published

by Generac to aid in the installation of the products

described in this manual. Generac assumes that

installation personnel are familiar with the proce-

dures for installing such products, or similar prod-

ucts that Generac manufactures. Generac also

assumes that personnel have been trained in the rec-

ommended installation procedures for these prod-

ucts and that such training includes (a) use of com-

mon hand tools, (b) use of special Generac tools, and

pliers.

Generac cannot possibly know of and advise the

recreational vehicle trade of all conceivable methods,

procedures or techniques by which to perform an

installation. Nor can Generac anticipate every possi-

ble hazard that might result from each installation

method, procedure or technique. Generac has not

undertaken any such wide evaluation. Therefore,

people who use a method, procedure or technique

that Generac does not specifically recommend must

first completely satisfy themselves that their safety,

the safety of the vehicle's occupants and the product's

safety is not endangered by the method, procedure or

technique selected.

Information, illustrations, specifications, etc., con-

tained in these Installation Instructions are based on

the latest information available at the time of publi-

cation. Every effort has been expended to be sure that

such data is both accurate and current. However, the

manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or

otherwise improve this product at any time without

prior notice.

Despite the safe design of this generator,

operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting

its maintenance or being careless can cause

possible injury or death. Permit only responsible

and capable persons to operate or maintain this

equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by

these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to

render the machine safe before attempting to

work on the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot

during operation. Exercise care near running

generators.

GENERAL HAZARDS

• For safety reasons, Generac recommends

that the installation, initial start-up and mainte-

nance of this equipment is carried out by a

Generac Authorized Service Dealer.

• The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon

monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This

dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentra-

tions, can cause unconsciousness or even death.

Never operate the generator set with the vehicle

inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT

OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST

SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED.

SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISON-

ING ARE (a) inability to think coherently, (b) nau-

sea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throb-

bing temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h)

weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF YOU EXPERI-

ENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO

FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PER-

SIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the gener-

ator and do not operate it until it has been inspect-

ed and repaired.

• Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is run-

ning unless the vehicle has a working carbon

monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be

installed in accordance with the genset installation

manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when

operating the genset in a confined area.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive

belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never

remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is

operating.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-

lating air is critical to correct generator operation

and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel

vapors from the generator compartment. Without

sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator

quickly overheats, which causes serious damage to

the generator. Do not alter the installation or per-

mit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,

as this can seriously affect safe operation of the

generator.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at

all times. Never work on the equipment when you

are physically or mentally fatigued.

• Before performing any maintenance on the genera-

tor, disconnect its battery cables to prevent acci-

dental start up. Disconnect the cable from the bat-

tery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–)

first. Reconnect that cable last.

DANGER

DANGER: For fire safety, installation of a generator into a recreational vehicle must comply strictly

with article 551, NFPA 70; ANSI C1-1975; AND, ANSI A119.2-1975/NFPA 501C “Standard for

Recreational Vehicles” (Part 3, “Installation of Electrical Systems”). In addition, installation must

comply with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 19

Safety Rules

QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators

• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a

step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break

parts, and may result in dangerous operating con-

ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage,

oil leakage, etc.

• Never insert any tool or other object through open-

ings in the generator interior, even if the unit is not

running. You might seriously injure yourself or

damage the equipment.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• The generator covered by this manual produces

dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal

electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter-

minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running.

Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers

are in place before operating the generator. If you

must work around an operating unit, stand on an

insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.

• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while

standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands

or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL

SHOCK MAY RESULT.

• During installation onto the vehicle, properly

ground (bond) the generator either by solid mount-

ing to the vehicle frame or chassis, or by means of

an approved bonding conductor. DO NOT connect

the bonding conductor to any generator part that

might be removed or disassembled during routine

maintenance. If the grounding conductor must be

replaced, use only a flexible conductor that is of

No. 8 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper wire

minimum.

• If the vehicle electrical circuits can be powered by

any other source of electricity (such as a “dockside”

power receptacle), there must be no possibility of

connecting the different power sources to the vehi-

cle circuits at the same time. The dockside (utility)

power source must be positively isolated from the

vehicle circuits whenever the generator is operating.

Failure to isolate the vehicle circuits from the dock-

side power supply when the generator is running

may result in damage to the generator or serious

injury or death to dockside (utility) power workers

due to backfeed of electrical energy.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, imme-

diately shut down the source of electrical power. If

this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from

the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH

THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement,

such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the

live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply

first aid and get immediate medical help.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip-

ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in

electric shock, or may get caught in moving com-

ponents causing injury.

FIRE HAZARDS

• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and

maintained properly. Installation always must

comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and

regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and

national electrical and building codes. Comply

with regulations the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) has established.

Also, ensure that the generator is installed in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

and recommendations. Following proper installa-

tion, do nothing that might alter a safe installation

and render the unit in noncompliance with the

aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regu-

lations.

• Keep a fire extinguisher in the vehicle at all times.

Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National Fire

Protection Association are appropriate for use on

the recreational vehicle generator electrical system.

Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be

familiar with its use. If you have any question per-

taining to fire extinguishers, consult your local fire

department.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS

• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any

fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com-

bustible materials are left in the generator com-

partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or

EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surround-

ing the generator clean and free from debris.

• Gasoline is extremely FLAMMABLE and its vapors

are EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open

flame, sparks or any source of heat in the vicinity

while handling gasoline. Comply with all laws gov-

erning the storage and handling of gasoline.

• Fuel lines must be properly installed and

fastened, and free of leaks. There must be

no possibility of gasoline vapors entering the vehi-

cle interior.

• You are required to install an approved, flexible,

nonconductive fuel line between the generator fuel

connection point and rigid fuel lines.

• If the generator is equipped with a liquid propane

(LP) gas fuel system, install the unit so it complies

with all codes, standards and regulations pertain-

ing to such systems. LP gas is highly explosive. The

gas tends to settle in low areas where even the

slightest spark can ignite it and cause an explo-

sion. Do not allow gas vapors to enter the vehicle.

5.4 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

Instructions and information in this section pertain

to Generac air-cooled generators. These generators

are designed specifically for installing in recreational

vehicles. They operate 120-volt, single-phase, 60-

Hertz, AC electrical loads.

5.5 GENERATOR ENGINE

OPERATING SPEED

The generator’s revolving field (rotor) is driven by a

single-cylinder, four-cycle engine through a pulley and

drive belt arrangement. The generator supplies 120

volts AC at 60 Hertz when the rotor is operating at

3,600 rpm.The drive belt arrangement allows the

engine to operate at a lower speed than the rotor.

5.6 GENERATOR AC

CONNECTION SYSTEM

These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with dual

stator AC power windings. These two stator windings

supply electrical power to customer electrical loads by

means of a dual 2-wire connection system.

Generators may be installed to provide the following

outputs:

1) 120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum

total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s

rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the

generator output terminals. (See Fig. 5.1 below)

2) 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum

total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s

rated power output, and 240 V across the generator

output terminals; or two seperate loads, each with a

maximum total wattage requirement equal to half of

the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and

120 V across the generator output terminals. (See Fig.

5.3 on page 22)

Figure 5.3 - Connection for 120/240 Volts

• The AC connection system on all air-cooled

PRIMEPACT series generators uses a GROUNDED

neutral.

• A separate green ground wire is connected to the

recreational vehicle’s junction box.

• Loads connected across T1 (Red) to T2 (White),

and T3 (Black) to T2 (White), must not exceed rat-

ings for your specific generator (see Section 1.6.3).

NOTE:

Do NOT connect loads in excess of circuit

breaker ratings.

6.1 LOCATION AND SUPPORT

6.1.1 GENERATOR LOCATION

The most desirable location for the generator set is

between the vehicle's main frame members. However,

this is seldom possible. Most units must be installed

on the side of the vehicle and are difficult to reinforce.

Many recreational vehicles have been factory

equipped with an area for the generator set. Some

vehicles may even have a generator compartment

provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

Plan the generator location based on the following:

• The generator set must be installed on a frame-

work that is part of the recreational vehicle, as out-

lined in Section 6.1.2.

• The location must provide an access opening that

is large enough to permit generator removal

(unless the generator is to be removed from under-

neath the supporting framework).

• The location must provide easy access to frequent-

ly serviced components, such as filters, oil drains,

spark plugs and other common maintenance

parts.

• The location must provide sufficient room to allow

minimum clearances as outlined in Section 6.2. If

sound insulation is to be used on the compartment

walls and ceiling, the minimum recommended

applies to the space between the generator and

such insulation.

• The location must provide adequate cooling and

ventilating airflow for the generator without a great

deal of work and expense.

6.1.2 GENERATOR SUPPORT

The generator must be securely attached to a metal

framework that has been made part of the vehicle

frame structure by bolting or welding. The metal

framework on which the generator will rest and

which will restrain the generator set should consist of

at least two horizontal beams. These beams should

consist of (a) 1-1/2-inch square, 11-gauge steel tubing

OR (b) 1-1/2-inch, 11-gauge angle iron. A typical sup-

porting frame with horizontal support tubing, is

shown in Figure 6.1.

The generator can be installed so that it sits on top of

the horizontal support tubing if the vehicle design

permits. Another method is to suspend the generator

below the horizontal support tubing by means of suit-

able, structurally sound metal framework. The fol-

lowing general rules apply:

• Vehicle construction MUST be capable of support-

ing the weight of the generator.

• Whether the generator is mounted above the hori-

zontal support tubing or suspended below the tub-

ing, the supporting frame used must be structural-

ly sound.

• If the generator cannot be bolted directly to

the supporting frame or support tubing, consider

using additional tubing, angle brackets or other

supports to give the supporting frame sufficient

strength.

6.1.3 SUSPENDED MOUNTING

If you are going to suspend the generator below the

horizontal support tubing, the suspension method

you use with the vehicle frame members must (a) be

able to support the weight of the generator AND (b)

provide sufficient restraint for the generator. One typ-

ical suspended mounting system is shown in Figure

6.2. The location of a suspended mounting system

must be carefully planned, keeping the following gen-

eral rules in mind:

• Protect the generator against road splash and debris.

Baffles or splash guards may be required to protect

certain areas of the generator. To make sure the gen-

erator is adequately protected, road test the installa-

tion through mud, water and slush.

Figure 6.2 – Typical Suspended Mounting System

• The installer must make certain that the selected

location will permit adequate cooling and ventilat-

ing airflow to be supplied.

6.1.4 GENERATOR RESTRAINT

Use four 3/8"-16 hardened steel bolts (Grade 5) to fas-

ten the generator to the supporting frame or the sup-

port tubing. These bolts must pass through (a) the gen-

erator mounting base, (b) the compartment floor (if a

compartment is used) and (c) the supporting frame-

work (Figure 6.3). All bolts must be long enough so that

when tight, at least three threads are visible past the

retaining lock nuts. Refer to Section 6.2 for the location

of the generator mounting holes.

Figure 6.3 – Typical Generator Restraint

6.2 GENERATOR COMPARTMENTS

Whether the generator set is being installed inside a

compartment specifically manufactured to house a gen-

erator or inside a compartment that the installer con-

structs, the compartment MUST meet certain specifi-

cations as outlined in the following sections:

6.2.1 COMPARTMENT SIZE

Plan the compartment size carefully. Provide a mini-

mum clearance of 1/2 inch (13 mm) on the front and

top, 1 inch (25 mm) on the sides, and 1/2 inch (13

mm) from the back for air circulation AFTER the

compartment has been lined with metal and sound

insulation (Figure 6.4).

NOTE:

Refer to “Figure 5.2 – Major Features and

Dimensions” on Page 21.

Figure 6.4 – Clearances

6.2.2 COMPARTMENT CONSTRUCTION

• The generator compartment should be either con-

structed of, or lined with, 26-gauge galvanized

steel.

NOTE:

Aluminum is NOT an acceptable alternative

to galvanized steel due to aluminum’s low melting

point.

• If the compartment is lined with galvanized steel, it

may be constructed of any material. Generac rec-

ommends that the compartment be constructed of

1/2-inch thick plywood (not strandboard), with the

floor made of a double thickness of 1/2-inch ply-

wood with the grain of the wood at cross section

for added strength (Figure 6.5).

24 Generac®Power Systems, Inc.

Figure 6.5 – Typical Compartment Construction

• If constructing a compartment, line the exterior

(underside) of the compartment floor with 26-

gauge galvanized steel.

• All seams, splices and joints of the compartment

walls (unless vapor tight by design) should be

caulked to prevent poisonous, flammable or explo-

sive vapors from entering the vehicle interior.

NOTE:

Caulking must be done so that the caulking mate-

rial will stay in place permanently. Pressing such

materials as putty tape onto joints and seams is

not acceptable. A high quality silicone rubber base

sealant is recommended.

• Holes and openings made in the compartment

walls to allow for the passage of electrical conduit,

conductors, hoses, cables, etc., into the vehicle liv-

ing area must be sealed vapor tight with silicone

rubber base sealant.

• If flexible metal conduit is used, it must be sealed

internally at the end where it terminates inside the

compartment’s electrical junction box.

NOTE:

Flexible metal conduit, due to its unique con-

struction, is NOT vapor tight along its entire

length.

• Seams and joints of the galvanized steel (whether

used as a liner or for the compartment itself) must

be lapped and mechanically secured. Such seams

may be manufactured, welded, bolted, riveted or

screwed. Manufactured lock seams are shown in

Figure 6.6. Installer constructed compartments

typically utilize a standard lap joint.

Figure 6.6 – Types of Lock Seams

• After the compartment has been metal lined and

vapor sealed, line the compartment interior walls

and ceiling with an approved, nonflammable

sound insulating material. See Section 6.2.3.

Do not install any flammable material directly

above or around the compartment. Heat,

transferred through the compartment structure,

may be sufficient to ignite, char or discolor

seat cushions, fiberboard and other flammable

materials. You may need to use approved

nonflammable insulating materials in high

temperature areas.

6.2.3 SOUND INSULATING MATERIALS

Once installers have determined that a compartment

is properly constructed and metal lined, they can add

acoustical material. This may include additional

sealant or insulating material, to reflect noise away

from the vehicle interior.

Sound insulating materials should be of a nonflam-

mable type. One excellent insulating material is a 1-

inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass having a 2-pound den-

sity. When fiberglass is used, its coated side should

face toward the compartment interior.

Do not install sound insulation or any

absorbent material on the compartment floor

interior. Such materials will become soaked

with combustible or explosive vapors and liq-

uids and will become a fire hazard.

Using a combination of sound insulating materials

can often reduce noise more effectively than a single

material. For example, a sheet of lead or visco-elastic

material, along with a layer of other acoustical mate-

rial, is more effective than when a single material is

used.

QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators

6.2.4 ACOUSTICS

For additional noise abatement, the installer may

wish to consider the following:

• Using special sound insulating materials.

• Construction of a special noise abatement com-

partment.

NOTE:

Any method used to reduce noise must not

adversely affect the flow of cooling and ventilating

air into or out of the compartment.

In addition to the effective use of sound insulating

materials, construction of a special noise abatement

compartment might be considered to reduce noise

levels. Such a compartment might be constructed as

follows (Figure 6.7):

• Use 5/8-inch thick or 3/4-inch thick plywood in the

compartment.

• Construct the compartment floor of a double thick-

ness of 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch plywood.

• Line the compartment interior walls and floor, as

well as the underside of the floor, with 26-gauge

galvanized steel.

• Vapor seal all compartment seams and joints.

• Over the galvanized steel lining, install a combina-

tion of acoustical materials as mentioned in

Section 6.2.3.

To prevent fire or explosion, do not install any

insulation or other absorbent materials on the

interior or underside of the compartment floor.

• Seal all compartment door edges to prevent noise

leakage around the door perimeter.

• Line the compartment door interior (except for air

openings) with suitable, fireproof sound insulation

(such as 1-inch (25 mm) thick fiberglass with a 2-

pound density).

Figure 6.7 – Typical Noise Abatement

6.2.5 COMPARTMENT FLOOR CUTOUTS

You must provide openings in the generator compart-

ment for the following items (Figure 6.8, Page 26):

• Engine exhaust and cooling air outlets

• Generator cooling air inlet

• Four holes for passage of generator mounting

bolts. See Section 6.1.4 (Page 23).

Fuel lines and exhaust piping must not pene-

trate into the vehicle living area.

6.3 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR

It is absolutely essential that an adequate flow of air

for cooling, ventilating and engine combustion be

supplied to the generator set. Without sufficient air-

flow, the engine/generator quickly overheats. Such

overheating can cause serious operating difficulties

and also may cause fire and personal injury. The

installer must make sure that sufficient air is avail-

able to the generator for cooling, ventilating and com-

bustion. The installer also must provide for a path

for exhausting the cooling air to the exterior of a com-

partment, if so equipped.

Never use discharged cooling air for heating or

permit such air to enter the vehicle interior. This

air contains deadly carbon monoxide gas and

other poisonous, flammable or explosive gases.

6.3.1 GENERATOR AIRFLOW

Engine operation drives cooling fans for the two-stage

cooling air system. A pressure fan draws cooling air

into the top of the generator (Figure 6.9). This airflow

cools the engine/generator and electronic compo-

nents. The second part of the cooling system, a suc-

tion fan, draws air that is heated from a hot engine

into a collector pan at the base of the unit. This heat-

ed air (although cooler than exhaust muffler) is then

deflected out the bottom toward the ground.

6.3.2 TESTING THE INSTALLATION

Generac recommends testing the installation to be

sure adequate cooling airflow is available to the unit

before placing the unit into service. If the unit shows

signs of overheating, you will need to enlarge the air

openings. Never place a unit into service until

absolutely certain that cooling and ventilation is ade-

quate.

NOTE:

You must test the installation, especially if you

bring in air from below the generator set.

6.4 GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM

Gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are

explosive. Comply with all codes, standards and

regulations pertaining to gasoline fuel systems

used in recreational vehicle generators.

Properly install and maintain the fuel system

and keep it entirely free of leaks. Gasoline

vapors must not enter the vehicle interior.

The installation of a gasoline fuel system (Figure

6.14) for a recreational vehicle generator set must

comply with applicable codes, standards and regula-

tions. The entire fuel system must be completely free

of leaks. There must be no possibility of gasoline

vapors entering the vehicle interior.

Factory installed generator fuel system components

include (a) fuel filter, (b) 12-volt DC electric pump, (c)

engine carburetor, and (d) interconnecting lines and

fittings. Connect a fuel supply line to the fuel filter

inlet. Use a flexible length of approved fuel hose

between the fuel filter inlet connection and rigid fuel

lines.

6.4.1 FUEL TANK

Either the generator must share the vehicle engine's

fuel tank, or you must install a separate fuel tank for

the generator set. All fuel tanks installed on the vehi-

cle must be constructed, installed and restrained so

they comply with applicable codes, standards and

regulations.

If the generator is to share the vehicle engine's tank,

separate fuel pickup tubes are required for the engine

and the generator. Generac recommends that you

make the fuel pickup tube 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76

mm) shorter than the vehicle engine's pickup tube.

This prevents the generator from depleting the entire

fuel supply during prolonged generator operating

periods.

Do NOT tee the generator fuel supply line into

the vehicle engine fuel supply line. If this is

done, the generator will be starved of fuel

when both engines are operating at the same

time. Also, while the vehicle engine is not run-

ning, generator operation may drain the vehi-

cle engine supply line, making it difficult to

start the vehicle engine.

6.4.2 GENERATOR FUEL SUPPLY LINE

6.4.2.1 Rigid Fuel Lines

Those lines used to supply fuel from a tank to the

generator must comply with applicable codes, stan-

dards and regulations. The following general rules

apply to rigid fuel lines:

• Rigid lines should be of annealed, seamless, drawn

aluminum or steel.

• Lines and fittings must comply with SAE J512F,

“Standard Automotive Fittings,” or with ANSI

B126.26 (latest edition).

• Route the fuel line so that at least 2 inches (51 mm)

of clearance is maintained between the line and

any exhaust system parts.

• Do not attach electrical wiring to fuel lines. Route

the wiring so it cannot come into contact with any

fuel line.

• Route fuel lines so if they leak, fuel does not drip

onto any electrical or exhaust system parts.

• Use nonferrous metal straps without sharp edges

to secure fuel lines.

6.4.2.2 Flexible Fuel Line

Use an approved flexible length of fuel hose between

the generator fuel inlet connection and rigid fuel

lines. This prevents breaking of the line caused by

vibration, shifting, settling or movement. The follow-

ing rules apply:

• The flexible hose must comply with SAE J30B,

“Standard for Fuel and Oil Hose.” It must be

approved for use with gasoline.

• The hose should be at least 6 inches (152 mm)

longer than is needed to prevent the hose from

rupturing if the generator shifts or settles.

6.5 LP GAS FUEL SYSTEM

LP gas is highly EXPLOSIVE. The gas is heavier

than air and tends to settle in low areas. Even

the slightest spark can ignite it and cause and

explosion. Only competent, qualified people

should be allowed to install, test, adjust or ser-

vice an LP gas fuel system. Install the optional

fuel system in compliance with applicable

codes, standards and regulations. After the

installation, do not do anything that might ren-

der the system in noncompliance with applica-

ble codes and standards.

The LP powered range of generators are fitted with a

nonadjustable, factory set system. These systems are

tamper-proof to meet 1997 California Air Resources

Board requirements for engine emission.

6.5.1 LP FUEL CONSUMPTION (lb./hour)

6.5.2 PARTS NOT INCLUDED IN FUEL SYSTEM

The propane fuel system does NOT include such

items as (a) gas tank, (b) gas piping, (c) fittings, (d)

valves, and (e) primary regulator, used to store the

gaseous fuel and deliver it to the gaseous fuel sole-

noid (Figure 2.15, Page 29).

Use only approved components in the fuel sup-

ply system. All components must be properly

installed in accordance with applicable codes.

Improper installation or use of unauthorized

components may result in fire or an explosion.

Follow approved methods to test the system

for leaks. No leakage is permitted. Do not allow

fuel vapors to enter the vehicle interior.

Figure 6.15 – Typical Propane Gas Fuel System

6.5.3 SOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

When installing an LP gas system, consider seriously

the following items:

• All fittings, lines, hoses and clamps must be tight

and free of leaks. Apply a pipe sealant to threads

when assembling threaded connections. This

reduces the possibility of leakage.

• Test the entire fuel system for leaks using approved

test methods.

• Optimum gas pressure at the inlet to the gaseous

fuel solenoid valve and secondary regulator is 11

inches water column.

• The installer’s fuel supply connection point is at

the gaseous fuel solenoid valve. This is a 3/4-inch

(female) connection. Provide a suitable 3/4-inch

NPT (male) connector to attach to the fuel supply

line.

• Use a length of approved flexible fuel hose between

the gaseous fuel solenoid valve and rigid gas pip-

ing. The flexible line should be at least 6 inches

longer than necessary.

6.5.4 VAPOR WITHDRAWAL

LP gas is stored in pressure tanks as a liquid. The

gas systems used with these generators were

designed only for vapor withdrawal type systems.

Vapor withdrawal systems use the gas vapors that

form above the liquid fuel in the tank. Do NOT

attempt to use the generator with any liquid with-

drawal type system.

6.5.5 PRIMARY REGULATOR

Gas pressure delivered to the solenoid valve must be

properly regulated by means of a primary gas regula-

tor. Mount the primary regulator at the gas tank out-

let or in the supply line from the gas tank. The fol-

lowing rules apply:

• For best results, the primary regulator supplies

gaseous fuel to the secondary regulator at 11 inch-

es water column. Do NOT exceed 14 inches water

column.

• The installer must be sure the primary regulator is

rated at sufficient gas flow to operate the generator

plus all other gas appliances in the circuit.

NOTE:

Recommended MINIMUM gas flow rate for all air-

cooled PRIMEPACT series generators is 67 cubic

feet per hour.

If an existing primary gas regulator does not have

a sufficient flow capacity for the generator and

other gas appliances in the circuit, (a) install a pri-

mary regulator with adequate flow rate, or (b)

install a separate regulator only and rated at least

67 cubic feet per hour. The inlet side of any pri-

mary regulator that supplies the generator must

connect directly to a gas pressure tank. Do NOT

tee the generator line into a gas circuit feeding

other areas.

6.5.6 GASEOUS CARBURETION

LP gas vapors should be supplied to the secondary

regulator inlet at about 11 inches water column (pos-

itive pressure). The engine pistons draw air in during

the intake stroke (Figure 6.16). This air passes

through a carburetor venturi, which creates a low

pressure that is proportional to the quantity of air

being pumped. The low pressure from the carburetor

venturi acts on the regulator diaphragm to pull the

diaphragm toward the source of low pressure. A lever

attached to the diaphragm opens a valve to permit

gas glow through the carburetor.

Figure 6.16 – LP Gas Carburetion Diagram

◆

Section 6 – Installation

QUIETPACT 55, 65, and 75 Recreational Vehicle Generators

Generac®Power Systems, Inc. 29

The greater the airflow through the carburetor ven-

turi, the lower the pressure at the venturi throat. The

lower the pressure at the venturi throat, the greater

the diaphragm movement, and the greater the move-

ment of the regulator valve. The more the regulator

valve opens, the greater the gas flow that is propor-

tional to airflow through the generator.

The following facts about the secondary regulator

must be emphasized:

• The regulator must be sensitive to venturi throat

pressure changes throughout the operating range.

• The regulator must be properly adjusted so it will

stop the flow of gas when the engine is not running

(no air flow through the carburetor).

• The slightest airflow (and vacuum in the venturi

throat) should move the regulator valve off its seat

and permit gas to flow.

6.5.7 FUEL SUPPLY LINES

• LP gas lines must be accessible, but protected

against possible damage.

• Do NOT connect electrical wiring to any LP gas fuel

line or run wiring alongside the lines.

• Route gas lines away from hot engine exhausts.

• Retain gas lines with metal clamps that do not have

sharp edges.

• Install an approved length of flexible hose between

the gaseous fuel solenoid valve and rigid fuel sup-

ply lines. The flexible line must be nonmetallic,

nonorganic and nonconductive. It must be

approved for use with LP gas.

Gaseous fuel lines between the tank and the

secondary regulator are under a positive pres-

sure (about 11 inches water column). Gas pres-

sure at the outlet side of the secondary regula-

tor, however, is a negative pressure and can

draw flame inside a line or fitting and cause an

explosion.

6.5.8 EXCESS FLOW VALVE

LP gas tanks should have an excess flow valve,

according to NFPA 501C, Paragraph 3-4.4. This valve

and the gas lines must be carefully sized so the valve

will close when a fuel line is severed or broken.

Consult the Natural-LP Gas Association for informa-

tion and limitations of excess flow valves.

Manual shutoff valves on the supply tank and else-

where in the system must be fully open when operat-

ing the generator. The excess flow valve functions

properly only if all valves are fully open.

6.5.9 LEAKAGE TESTS

Do not place the generator into service until you have

properly tested the gas system for leaks. To test the

system, you need a separate source of 12 volts DC to

open the gaseous fuel solenoid valve.

The leak test must comply fully with NFPA,

Paragraph 318. All connections, hoses, valve regula-

tors, fittings, and other fuel system parts must be

tested under gas or air pressure of not less than 90

psi (620 kPa), while using soap and water or an

equivalent solution to check for leaks. Other

approved methods of testing for leaks may be used, if

appropriate. DO NOT USE ANY FLAME TO TEST

FOR LEAKS.

6.6 EXHAUST SYSTEM

The generator exhaust system must be safely and

properly installed. Only approved mufflers and other

exhaust system parts must be used. A properly

installed exhaust system must be vapor tight, quiet

and completely safe.

The generator engine gives off DEADLY carbon

monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This

dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concen-

trations, can cause unconsciousness or even

death. Never operate the generator set with

the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed

area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE

EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN

DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOX-

IDE POISONING ARE (a) inability to think coher-

ently; (b) vomiting; (c) twitching muscles; (d)

throbbing temples; (e) dizziness; (f) headaches;

(g) weakness; and (h) sleepiness. IF YOU FEEL

ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH

AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET

MEDICAL HELP. Do not operate the generator

until its exhaust system has been inspected and

properly repaired.

Never tee the generator engine exhaust pipe

into the vehicle engine exhaust piping. This

causes excessive back pressure on the genera-

tor engine. Also, water from one engine can

damage the other engine.

6.6.1 MUFFLERS AND SPARK ARRESTORS

This muffler meets code and standard requirements

of the U.S. Forest Service. Use only mufflers and

parts approved by Generac. Any person(s) installing

an unapproved muffler, or an unapproved exhaust

system part, or modifying an exhaust system in any

way that might cause a hazard, is liable for any dam-

age, injury or warranty expense that might be caused

by such unapproved installation or modification.

Failure to provide and maintain a spark arrestor may

be in violation of the law. If this generator is used on

any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered

unimproved land, you must provide a spark arrestor.

The vehicle owner or operator must maintain this

device in good condition. In the state of California,

the preceding is required by law (Section 4442 of the

California Public Resources Code). Other states may

have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal

lands.

When installing/replacing the tailpipe or spark

arrestor components, verify that the tailpipe has a

hole to securely fasten the spark arrestor compo-

nents (see Figure 6.17). Use only Generac supplied

hardware. Substitution of parts may cause damage to

the screen or a loose fit to the tailpipe.

Figure 6.17 — Spark Arrestor Installation

6.6.2 EXHAUST SYSTEM SAFETY

• Maintain a clearance of at least 3 inches (76 mm)

between exhaust system parts and any com-

bustible material (such as wood, felt, cotton,

organic fibers or other like material). If you cannot

maintain the 3-inch (76 mm) clearance, locate,

insulate or shield the exhaust part(s) so that the

temperature of any combustible material is not

raised more than 117° F (65° C) above the ambient

air temperature.

• Extend the exhaust system at least 1 inch (25 mm)

past the outer edge of the vehicle. Do not terminate

the exhaust system under the vehicle.

• Terminate the exhaust tailpipe such that exhaust

gases will not be drawn back into the generator

compartment and recirculated.

• If there is any possibility of the tailpipe or muffler

being damaged, protect these damage-prone areas

by means of a protective device (such as a skid

bar).

• Install the generator exhaust system according to

safe automotive practices.

• Use enough exhaust system hangers to prevent any

part of the system from being dislocated.

• Use exhaust system parts recommended by

Generac. Using unapproved exhaust mufflers and

exhaust system parts is the responsibility of the

person(s) installing such unauthorized parts.

• Do not terminate the exhaust system under any

opening, window or vent that can be opened or is

not permanently sealed from the vehicle interior.

• Exhaust piping must be large enough to prevent

excessive back pressure on the generator engine.

• Never tee the generator engine exhaust pipe into

the vehicle engine exhaust piping. This causes

excessive back pressure on the generator engine.

Also, water from one engine can damage the other

engine.

• Plan exhaust system installation carefully. Comply

with all applicable codes, standards and regula-

tions.

6.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Be sure to read Section 5.6 on Page 20.

The following general rules apply to electrical con-

nections in a recreational vehicle:

• Qualified electricians who are familiar with applic-

able codes, standards and regulations should

install electrical wiring.

• The wiring should comply with codes, standards

and regulations. The National Electrical Code

(NFPA 70), and state and local codes apply.

• Switches and circuit breakers should be of a type

approved for use in recreational vehicles and must

be mounted and installed to prevent damage from

road shock.

• Wiring must be of adequate size, have approved

insulative qualities and be properly supported.

• Conduit and wire openings into the generator com-

partment (if used) must be vapor-sealed to prevent

entry of flammable, explosive or poisonous gases

into the vehicle.

6.7.1 ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX

Install an approved, square electrical junction box

with a blank cover on the interior or exterior wall of

the area you plan to install the generator (NOT on the

generator). Route the generator's AC output leads

into this junction box through approved flexible con-

duit. This is the point of first termination for genera-

tor AC output leads.

6.7.2 WIRING

• Wiring should be of stranded copper to reduce the

chance that vibration may cause breakage.

• Wire gauge size should be large enough to handle

at least 115 percent of the installed generator's

rated maximum current.

• If neutral conductors are used, they must be the

same size as other leg wires.

• Route power supply conductors from generator AC

output leads T1 (red), T2 (white), T3 (black) and

the green ground wire through approved flexible

conduit to the electrical junction box on the com-

partment wall.

• If flexible metal conduit is used between the gener-

ator and the compartment junction box, the con-

duit end that terminates the compartment junction

box must be vapor-sealed. Flexible metal conduit

is NOT vapor tight along its entire length.

• From the junction box, route power supply wires

through approved conduit to either (a) double-

pole, double-throw transfer switch, or (b)

approved isolation receptacle. Connecting to a

transfer switch or isolation receptacle must pre-

vent vehicle electrical circuits from being connect-

ed to two different power supplies at the same time

(such as generator and dockside power).

• Conductors must be rated 221° F (105° C) or must

be of a larger conductor size.

6.7.3 GENERATOR AC CONNECTIONS

Generator AC output leads T1 (red), T2 (white) and

T3 (black) come out of the generator as shown in

Figure 6.18. Leads T1 (red) and T3 (black) are “hot,”

while T2 (white) is the grounded neutral lead. There

is also a green lead that connects to ground in the

junction box of the recreational vehicle.

Figure 6.18 – Generator AC Output Leads

Line T1 (red) to T2 (white) is protected against over-

load by a circuit breaker (CB1). Use this line-to-neu-

tral connection separately to operate 120-volt, single-

phase, 60 Hertz, AC loads. Line T3 (black) to T2

(white) also is protected against overload by a circuit

breaker (CB2). Use this line-to-neutral connection

separately to operate similar loads. However, be sure

the total unit load does not exceed the maximum rat-

ing of the generator. The neutral line (T2, white) on

all units is a grounded neutral.

Do NOT connect electrical loads in excess of

any circuit breaker rating or you will develop

problems with circuit breaker tripping, which

causes a loss of AC output. Also, do NOT

exceed the generator's rated wattage capacity.

Add the watts or amperes of all lighting, appli-

ance, tool and motor loads the generator will

operate at one time. This total should be less

than the unit's rated wattage/amperage capaci-

ty.

6.7.4 CONDUIT

Route the connections between the generator and the

junction box through approved, flexible conduit. The

following general rules apply:

• Cut wiring to the required length and allow extra

wire for junction box connections.

• Carefully prepare conduit ends to prevent sharp

edges from cutting through wiring insulation.

• Route conduit so it does not interfere with genera-

tor movement.

• If you use metallic conduit, vapor seal the end of

the conduit where it enters the junction box. Do

this because flexible metallic conduit is not vapor-

proof along its entire length.

6.7.5 ISOLATING DIFFERENT POWER

SOURCES

Connections from the junction box must terminate in

a double-pole, double-throw transfer switch (Figure

6.19, Page 33). An alternate method for isolating dif-

ferent power sources is by using an isolating recepta-

cle (Figure 6.20, Page 33). Whichever method you

use, you must be certain that both power sources are

NOT connected at the same time.

6.7.6 POWER SUPPLY CORD

The power supply cord must comply with all applic-

able codes, standards and regulations. It must be

large enough to handle the full amperage to which it

will be subjected. (See page 33 for illustration.)

INTERRUPTERS

The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, article 551)

requires that you install ground fault circuit inter-

rupters (GFCIs) on all external and some internal

electrical receptacles. Contact your manufacturer or

dealer for recommendations.

6.8 BATTERY INSTALLATION

6.8.1 RECOMMENDED BATTERY

Install a battery that meets the following require-

ments:

• The battery must be a 12-volt, automotive type

storage battery.

• For prevailing ambient temperatures above 32° F

(0° C), use a battery rated 70 amp-hours and capa-

ble of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes.

• For prevailing ambient temperatures below 32° F

(0° C), use a battery rated 95 amp-hours and capa-

ble of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes.

NOTE:

If the battery is to be used to power other vehicle

accessories, as well as start the generator, you may

need a battery with a larger capacity.

6.8.2 BATTERY CABLES

Using battery cables that are too long or too small in

diameter may cause a drop in voltage, which causes

starting problems. For the best cold weather starting,

the voltage drop between battery terminals and the

generator connection point should not exceed 0.12

volts per 100 amperes of cranking current.

PRIMEPACT generators are rated at about 100 DC

amperes of cranking current.

Select battery cables based on (a) cable length and (b)

prevailing ambient temperatures. Generally, the

longer the cable and the colder the weather, the larg-

er the cable size must be, as shown in the chart.

6.8.3 BATTERY CABLE CONNECTIONS

1. Connect the battery cable from the battery post or

terminal indicated by a POSITIVE, POS or (+) to

the lug on the starter contactor (Figure 6.21).

NOTE:

Check to be sure the battery cable boot for the

starter cable has been installed.

2. Connect the battery cable from the battery post

indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) to the

frame ground connection (Figure 6.21).

3. Connect cables so the connectors are clean

and tight.

Figure 6.21 – Connecting Battery Cables

6.8.4 BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Install the generator battery in its own, vented com-

partment. Place the battery compartment away from

any source of heat, sparks or flame.

Provide ventilation openings in the battery compart-

ment. The minimum size of openings should be 2

square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount

the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure,

where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause

damage.

6.9 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

A plug-in receptacle (Figure 6.22) is provided on the

generator set, above the muffler enclosure. Use this

receptacle to connect an optional remote-mounted

start/stop panel to the generator. Installation of such

a panel will permit you to start and stop the genera-

tor engine from any convenient location inside the

vehicle.

Figure 6.22 – Remote Panel Plug-in Receptacle

6.9.1 REMOTE PANEL MODELS

The remote panels mount a rocker type start/stop

switch, a “Generator Run” advisory lamp and an

hourmeter. The hourmeter should be used in con-

junction with the maintenance operations found in

Part I of this manual.

• Model 004057 includes the remote panel and a 10

foot long, 4 wire harness.

• Model 004184 includes the remote panel and a 30

foot long, 4 wire harness.

7.1 POST INSTALLATION TESTS

The air-cooled generator set was factory tested and

adjusted. You should not be required to adjust the

unit any further except under special circumstances.

Do not make any unnecessary adjustments.

Factory settings are correct for most applica-

tions. When making adjustments, however, be

careful to avoid overspeeding the engine.

7.2 BEFORE INITIAL START-UP

Before starting, complete the following:

1. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if nec-

essary, fill to the dipstick “FULL” mark (cross-

hatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not

fill above the FULL mark.

2. Check the fuel supply. Gas fuel lines must have

been properly purged and leak tested in accor-

dance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff

valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.

If a liquid propane (LP) gas fuel system has

been installed, it must be properly tested for

leaks before operating the system in compli-

ance with ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C. No leakage

is permitted. You must be sure no gasoline fuel

vapors enter the vehicle interior.

7.3 INITIAL START

When you are absolutely certain that the unit has

been properly installed and prepared for use, start

the engine as follows:

1. Turn off all electrical loads. Do this by setting the

generator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF”

(or open) position.

2. Refer to Part I, Section 2.5, “Starting the

Generator” (Page 8), for cranking and starting

instructions. The engine may require more

cranking for initial starting since the fuel lines

have to be primed (use of the primer switch will

shorten this time).

3. Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to

allow internal temperatures to stabilize.

4. Carefully inspect the engine/generator for fuel, oil

and exhaust system leaks. Before proceeding to

the next step, correct any leakage immediately.

5. When all tests and adjustments at no-load are

completed, apply electrical loads and check for

proper operation under load. See Section 7.4.

Run the unit at least 30 minutes with loads

applied.

6. Turn off all electrical loads by setting the genera-

tor’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or

open) position.

7. Let the unit run at no-load for a few minutes to

stabilize internal engine/-generator temperatures.

Then, shut down the engine.

NOTE:

The generator set was thoroughly tested and

adjusted at the factory before shipping. No addi-

tional adjustment should be necessary. Only qual-

ified service technicians who have been trained

should perform adjustments outlined in this man-

ual.

7.4 TESTING UNDER LOAD

Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 per-

cent of the unit's rated wattage/amperage capacity.

Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load

applied. During this part of the test, check that the

unit is not running excessively hot and that adequate

cooling airflow is available. You must not allow the

unit to overheat during prolonged operation.

NOTE:

The generator engine is equipped with a high tem-

perature switch. The switch has normally open

(N.O.) contacts. When the engine temperature is

too high, switch contacts close, and the engine

shuts down automatically.

CALIFORNIA AND FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), together with

Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac), are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your new engine.*

New utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog stan-

dards for the state of California and the federal government. Generac will warrant the emission control system on your

engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification or improp-

er maintenance of your engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition and exhaust systems. Generac will repair

your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

Emissions control systems on 1997 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, dur-

ing such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials or

workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the engine purchaser/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 engine. However, Generac cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure

the completion of all scheduled maintenance.

As the engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or

responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unap-

proved modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or ‘grey market’ parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.

You are responsible for presenting your engine to a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a prob-

lem 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 Facility.

To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our toll-free number:

1-800-333-1322

IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System

Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California and 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. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in

terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where

the Generac Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. 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 ser-

vice, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. The purchaser/owner shall

be responsible for any expenses or other charges incurred for service calls and/or transportation of the product to/from the

inspection or repair facilities. The purchaser/owner also shall be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses incurred

while the engine is being transported/shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at the fol-

lowing address:

Section 12 – Warranty

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1997 and later model year engines:

(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on

the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall contin-

ue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or

equipment, and to each subsequent purchaser/owner, that each of its engines is ...

(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the EPA and CARB pursuant

to their respective authority, and

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a war-

ranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manu-

facturer’s application for certification.

(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s

Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall

be repaired or 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, emissions-related 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 such written instructions 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, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s

Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part

fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection

(4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the

remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no

charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsi-

ble for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.

(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused

by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.

(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient

to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.

(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS

Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce

Generac’s ECS Warranty obligations.

(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or ‘grey market’ parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac

engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.

Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of

such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or ‘grey market’ part.

erators manufactured after January 1, 1998, have a transferable warranty to the second owner ONLY for the remainder of

the three-year limited warranty. Proof-of-purchase is required and must be presented to a Generac Authorized Warranty

Service Facility prior to the performance of any warranty service.

All warranty expense allowances are subject to the conditions defined in Generac’s SUPER SERRVVICE INFORMATION MANUAL.

THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:

• Generac Guardian generators that utilize non-Generac replacement parts.

• Costs of normal maintenance, adjustments, installation and start-up.

• Failures caused by any contaminated fuels, oils, coolants or lack of proper fluid amounts.

• Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper installation. As with

all mechanical devices, the Generac engines need periodic part(s) service and replacement to perform well. This warranty

will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part(s) or engine.

• Failures caused by any external cause or act of God, such as collision, theft, vandalism, riot or wars, nuclear holocaust, fire,

freezing, lightning, earthquake, windstorm, hail, volcanic eruption, water or flood, tornado or hurricane.

• Damage related to rodent infestation.

• Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.

• 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).

• Failure due to misapplication.

• Telephone, cellular phone, facsimile, internet access or other communication expenses.

• Living or travel expenses of person(s) performing service, except as specifically included within the terms of a specific unit

warranty period.

• Expenses related to "customer instruction" or troubleshooting where no manufacturing defect is found.

• Rental equipment used while warranty repairs are being performed.

• Overnight freight costs for replacement part(s).

• Overtime labor.

• Starting batteries, fuses, light bulbs and engine fluids.

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.

GENERAC'S ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PART(S) AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT

SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE A

DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC'S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-

quential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also have other rights from state to state.
