! GENERAL HAZARDS !
• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this
equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by an
Authorized Service Dealer or other competent, qualified
electrician or installation technician who is familiar with
applicable codes, standards and regulations. The operator
also must comply with all such codes, standards and regulations.
• Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and
related) equipment must always 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, operated and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
and recommendations. Following installation, do nothing
that might render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with
the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide gas,
which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death. For that reason, adequate ventilation must be
provided.
• 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 ventilating air
is critical to prevent buildup of explosive gases and to

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

FIRE HAZARDS

• All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous
electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock.
Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch as well as the standby generator.
Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc.,
on the generator as well as the transfer switch, if applicable.
Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in
place before operating the generator. If work must be done
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.
• If personnel must stand on metal or concrete while
installing, operating, servicing, adjusting or repairing this
equipment, place insulative mats over a dry wooden platform. Work on the equipment only while standing on such
insulative mats.
• The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250 requires
the frame and external electrically conductive parts of the
generator to be connected to an approved earth ground
and/or grounding rods. This grounding will help prevent
dangerous electrical shock that might be caused by a
ground fault condition in the generator set or by static electricity. Never disconnect the ground wire.
• Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables and cord sets
must be adequate to handle the maximum electrical current
(ampacity) to which they will be subjected.
• Before installing or servicing this (and related) equipment,
make sure that all power voltage supplies are positively
turned off at their source. Failure to do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock.
• Connecting this unit to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer
switch so as to isolate the generator electric system from
the electric utility distribution system when the generator is
operating. Failure to isolate the two electric system power
sources from each other by such means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death
to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• Generators installed with an automatic transfer switch will
crank and start automatically when NORMAL (UTILITY)
source voltage is removed or is below an acceptable preset
level. To prevent such automatic start-up and possible
injury to personnel, disable the generator’s automatic start
circuit (battery cables, etc.) before working on or around
the unit. Then, place a “Do Not Operate” tag on the generator control panel and on the transfer switch.
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately
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 dry 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 equipment.
Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock,
or may get caught in moving components causing injury.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times. Do
NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type extinguisher. Its
fumes are toxic, and the liquid can deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be
familiar with its use. If there are any questions pertaining
to fire extinguishers, consult the local fire department.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS
• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil
spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials
are left in the generator compartment, or on or near the
generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the
area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris.
• These generator sets may operate using one of several types
of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or
EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care. Comply with
all laws regulating the storage and handling of fuels. Inspect
the unit’s fuel system frequently and correct any leaks
immediately. Fuel supply lines must be properly installed,
purged and leak tested according to applicable fuel-gas
codes before placing this equipment into service.
• Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP)
gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas is lighter than
air, and LP gas is heavier than air; install leak detectors
accordingly.

Section 1 - General Information
Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

1.1

GENERATOR

This equipment is a liquid-cooled, engine-driven generator set. The generator is designed to supply electrical power that operates critical electrical loads
during utility power failure. The unit has been factory-installed in a weather resistant, all metal enclosure
and is intended for outdoor installation only. Use this
generator as a source of electrical power for the operation of 120 and/or 240VAC, single-phase loads.
These models are available. They are rated as follows:

Model 005031-0: Provides 25,000 watts (25 kW) of singlephase power.
Model 005028-0: Provides 20,000 watts (20 kW) of singlephase power.
Model 005030-0: Provides 15,000 watts (15 kW) of singlephase power.

If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power
source, it is required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively
isolate the electric system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating
(NEC 701). Failure to isolate an electrical system
by such means results in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or even death
to utility power workers due to backfeed of
electrical energy.

1.2

TRANSFER SWITCH

This generator system is intended to be used with a
matched automatic transfer switch. It may be supplied
in either a NEMA 1 enclosure or a NEMA 3R enclosure. The NEMA 1 enclosure is intended for indoor
use only. The NEMA 3R enclosure is weather proof and
can be used indoors or outdoors. Follow these rules:
• Install the transfer switch on a firm, sturdy supporting structure.
• To prevent switch distortion, level the switch if necessary. This can be done by placing washers
between the switch enclosure and the mounting
surface.
• Never install the switch where water or any corrosive substance might drip onto the enclosure.
• Protect the switch at all times against excessive
moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and corrosive vapors.

If a transfer switch is not included, one may be purchased separately from an Authorized Dealer.

1.3

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
(ATS MODE)

When this generator, along with an HS Type automatic transfer switch has been installed and connected,
a circuit board in the generator control panel constantly monitors the utility voltage and controls the
operation of the transfer switch.
In ATS Mode utility voltage sensing, weekly exercising, and load transferring is under the control of the
generator.
Should the utility voltage drop below a preset value,
and remain at this low voltage for a preset amount of
time, the generator cranks and starts. After the generator starts, the transfer switch transfers the load
circuits to the generator so the generator can power
them. When the utility source voltage has been
restored, the transfer switch re-transfers the load circuits back to the utility source voltage and the generator shuts down.

1.4

ENGINEERED TRANSFER SWITCH
(2-WIRE START GTS MODE)

When required, the pre-packaged standby generator
can be installed with an engineered W-type transfer
switch which controls utility voltage sensing, weekly
exercising and load transferring.
UTILITY voltage sensing, weekly exercising and load
transferring is then under the control of the
Engineered W-type transfer switch (GTS Mode).

1.5

GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEMS

The generator was shipped from the factory with its
stator AC output leads connected in a single-phase,
3-wire generator AC connection system (Figure 1.1).
The stator assembly in this system consists of a pair
of stationary windings, with two leads brought out of
each winding. Each single winding can supply 120
VAC, 60 Hertz. When the two windings are connected
in series, a 240 VAC, 60 Hertz AC output results.
Typically the two “hot” leads in the circuit are Wires
No. 11 and 44. The “Neutral” leads are the junction
of Wires 22 and 33.

each unit is described in Figure 1.2.

1.7

GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM

This unit has been factory tested and adjusted using
a natural gas fuel system. If propane (LP) gas is preferred, refer to Section 1.13, Reconfiguring the Fuel
System for LP Vapor.
Fuel pressure for a natural gas set up should be five
inches to 14 inches of water column (0.18 to 0.5
psi) at all load ranges.
Fuel pressure for an LP vapor set up should be 11
inches to 14 inches of water column (0.4 to 0.5
psi) at all load ranges.
NOTE:
A seperate gas line and regulator may be needed
to assure proper gas pressure to the generator.
Improper gas pressure can cause hard starting and
affect engine durability.

1.8

1.8.1

LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

This switch is normally-closed (N.C.) but is held open
by engine oil pressure during engine running. Should
operating oil pressure drop below about 8-10 psi
(55-68 kPa), the switch contacts close and the engine
shuts down automatically (Figure 1.4).

Figure 1.4 - Low Oil Pressure Switch

Gaseous fuels such as natural and LP (propane)
gas are highly explosive. Even the slightest
spark can ignite such fuels and cause an explosion. No leakage of fuel is permitted. Natural
gas, which is lighter than air, tends to collect in
high areas. LP gas is heavier than air and tends
to settle in low areas.

ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES

The engine has several safety switches which cause
the engine to automatically shut down under the following conditions: low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, engine overspeed, low coolant level or overcrank (Figure 1.3).

1.8.2

HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SWITCH

Normally open (N.O.) thermostatic switch has sensing tip which is immersed in captive coolant. Should
coolant temperature exceed about 230°F (110°C), the
switch contacts close, which causes the engine to
shut down automatically (Figure 1.5).

Section 1 — General Information
Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

Figure 1.5- High Coolant Temperature Switch

1.8.6

LOW BATTERY

The engine control board continually monitors the
battery voltage and turns on the low battery LED if
the battery voltage falls below 12 VDC for one minute.
Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm, which
will automatically clear if the battery voltage rises
above 12 VDC. If battery voltage goes below 6 VDC
during cranking, the low battery voltage alarm is
latched, cranking is terminated, and the low battery
LED stays on.

1.8.7
1.8.3

LOW COOLANT LEVEL SWITCH

Should engine coolant level drop below the level of
the high coolant temperature switch, it is possible for
the engine to overheat without automatic shutdown.
To prevent such overheating without automatic shut
down, the engine has a low coolant level sensor. If the
engine coolant drops too low, the engine automatically shuts down (Figure 1.6).

Figure 1.6 - Low Coolant Level Sensor

15A DC FUSE

This fuse is located inside the control panel. It protects the panel wiring and components from damaging overload. The unit will not start or crank if the
fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same
size, type, and rating.

1.9

UNPACKING

1.9.1

UNPACKING PRECAUTIONS

Handle shipping cartons and crates with care. Use
care to avoid damage from dropping, bumping, collision, etc. Store and unpack cartons with the proper
side up, as noted on the shipping carton.

1.9.2

INSPECTION

Upon delivery, carefully inspect the generator for any
damage that may have occurred during shipment. If
loss or damage is noted at the time of delivery, have
the person(s) making delivery note all damage on the
freight bill or affix their signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage.

1.10 LIFTING THE GENERATOR
1.8.4

OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN

Should AC frequency exceed about 72 Hz, circuit
board action will automatically shutdown the engine.

1.8.5

OVERCRANK SHUTDOWN

The engine control board uses a cyclic cranking
process when attempting to start the engine. The first
crank cycle is a 15-second crank followed by a sevensecond rest. This is followed by five more crank
cycles each with a seven second crank followed by a
seven-second rest.
If the engine fails to start after all six attempts, the start
attempt is stopped and the overcrank LED turns on.

When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be
careful not to touch overhead power lines. The
generators weight of more than 900 pounds
requires proper tools, equipment, and qualified
personnel to be used in all phases of handling
and unpacking.

DANGER
Serious injury or damage may occur if not configured properly. Please consult an Authorized
Service Dealer with any questions.

1.14 ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
The unit has been filled with 15W-40 engine oil at the
factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For
Service CC, SD, SE, SF.” Detergent oils keep the
engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. Use oil
having the following SAE viscosity rating, based on
the ambient temperature range anticipated before the
next oil change:
Temperature
Above 80° F (27° C)
32° to 80° F (-1° to 27° C)
Below 32° F (0° C)
8

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil may result in an engine failure.

1.15 COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Use a mixture of half low silicate ethylene glycol base
anti-freeze and half deionized water. Cooling system
capacity is about 8 U.S. quarts (7.6 liters). Use only
deionized water and only low silicate anti-freeze. If
desired, add a high quality rust inhibitor to the recommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant,
always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.

Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor
with ethylene glycol base anti-freeze or chromiumhydroxide (“green slime”) forms and will
cause overheating. Engines that have been
operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor
must be chemically cleaned before adding ethylene glycol base anti-freeze. Using any high
silicate anti-freeze boosters or additives will
also cause overheating. DO NOT use any soluble oil inhibitor for this equipment.

1.16 BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before installing this equipment, check the ratings of
both the generator and the transfer switch. Read
“Emergency Isolation Method” and “Total Circuit
Isolation Method” in the installation manual (Part No.
079699).
The generator’s rated wattage/amperage capacity
must be adequate to handle all electrical loads that
the unit will power. It may be necessary to group the
critical (essential) loads together and wire them into
a separate “emergency” distribution panel.
This generator can be installed in conjunction with
an engineered transfer switch, if necessary (see
Section 2.10).
The standard prepackaged transfer switch (ATS
mode) does not have sensing or controlling circuit
boards. Instead, the generator control console houses a “Printed Circuit Board Assembly”, which controls all phases of operation, including engine start
up and load transfer.

Section 2 — Installation

2.1

STANDBY GENERATOR
INSTALLATION
DANGER
Connecting this generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility
shall be by means of a transfer switch, so as to
isolate the electric system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating.
Failure to isolate the electric system by these
means will result in damage to the generator
and may also result in injury or death to utility
workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

If an open bottom is used, the engine-generator must be installed over non-combustible
materials and should be located such that combustible materials are not capable of accumulating under the generator set.
Only qualified, competent installation contractors or
electricians thoroughly familiar with applicable
codes, standards and regulations should install this
standby electric power system. The installation must
comply strictly with all codes, standards and regulations pertaining to the installation.

After the system has been installed, do nothing
that might render the installation in noncompliance with such codes, standards and regulations.
NOTE:
For more information about the installation of a
standby system contact an Authorized Service
Dealer.

2.2

GENERATOR LOCATION

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure
outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air
always is available. Consider these factors:
• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings
will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow,
etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.
• Install the generator on high ground where water
levels will not rise and endanger it.
• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator
for maintenance and servicing. A required minimum allowance of space to any solid structure is
three feet. Five feet allowance of space is recommended.
• Where strong prevailing winds blow from one
direction, face the generator air inlet openings into
the prevailing winds.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the
transfer switch. This reduces the length of wiring
and conduit.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel
supply, to reduce the length of piping. HOWEVER,
REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE DISTANCE.

2.3

GENERATOR MOUNTING AND
SUPPORT

Retain the generator compartment to a concrete slab
with 1/4-inch masonry type anchor bolts. Be sure the
bolts are long enough to retain the compartment. The
slab should be at least six inches thick and should
extend beyond the enclosure to a distance of at least
three inches on all sides.

BASIC STANDBY ELECTRIC
SYSTEM

Figure 2.1 shows a schematic diagram of a basic
standby electric system. Both the UTILITY power
supply and the STANDBY GENERATOR output are
connected to an approved transfer switch. The transfer switch is required by electrical code and serves
the following functions:
• Permits the LOAD circuits to be connected to only
one power supply at a time.
• Prevents electrical backfeed between the generator
and the UTILITY power circuits.
Notice that both the STANDBY and the UTILITY
power supplies to the transfer switch are protected
against overload by a main line circuit breaker.

Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System

• It must have an ampere rating equal to the total
amperage rating of the emergency distribution
panel circuit.
• It must be installed between the building’s main
distribution panel and the emergency distribution
panel.

2.6

TOTAL CIRCUIT ISOLATION
METHOD

When a generator capable of powering all electrical
loads in the circuit is to be installed, the “Total
Circuit Isolation Method” may be used. The following
apply to the transfer switch in this type of system.
• Ampere rating of the transfer switch must equal
the ampere rating of the normal incoming utility
service.
• The transfer switch is installed between the utility
service entrance and the building distribution
panel.

2.7

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

A GROUNDING LUG (Figure 2.2) is provided on the
generator mounting base for the purpose of grounding the frame and the external electrically conductive
parts of the equipment to an approved earth ground
and/or grounding rods where required by the
National Electrical Code. Consult a qualified electrician for grounding requirements in the area.
Grounding procedures must meet local regulations.

DANGER

NOTE:
The manufacturer recommends the use of a
Generac Power Systems transfer switch in conjunction with this generator.

2.5

EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION
METHOD

This prevents overloading the generator by keeping
electrical loads below the wattage/amperage capacity
of the generator. If the generator is powering only critical loads, within its wattage/amperage capacity, during utility power outages, consider using the emergency circuit isolation method.
Critical electrical loads are grouped together and
wired into a separate “Emergency Distribution
Panel.” The generator only supplies electrical circuits
connected to the emergency distribution panel during
utility power outages. Load circuits powered by that
panel must be within the wattage/amperage capacity
of the generator set. The transfer switch must meet
the following requirements:
10

Do not connect the ground wire to any pipe
that carries a flammable or explosive substance
– FIRE or an EXPLOSION may result.
Proper grounding helps protect personnel against
electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in connected electrical
devices. In addition, grounding helps dissipate static
electricity that often builds up in ungrounded
devices.

Figure 2.2 – Generator Grounding Lug (typical)

Section 2 — Installation
Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

2.8

GENERATOR AC NEUTRAL
CONNECTIONS

The manufacturer uses an UNGROUNDED AC neutral. Grounding is recommended only at the main
service entrance. If the neutral wire is grounded and
one of the phase loads becomes grounded, the excessive current opens the load circuit breaker or collapses the generator field. The actual result depends
on the electrical characteristics of the particular
installed generator.

2.9

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
(ATS MODE)

When this generator, along with an HS Type automatic transfer switch has been installed and connected,
a circuit board in the generator control panel constantly monitors the utility voltage and controls the
operation of the transfer switch.
To implement this mode of operation, Position 2 of
the eight-position DIP switch, which is located on the
generator circuit board (see Figure 3.2), must be in
the OFF position. In ATS Mode utility voltage sensing,
weekly exercising, and load transferring is under the
control of the generator.
Should the utility voltage drop below a preset value,
and remain at this low voltage for a preset amount of
time, the generator cranks and starts. After the generator starts, the transfer switch transfers the load
circuits to the generator so the generator can power
them. When the utility source voltage has been
restored, the transfer switch re-transfers the load circuits back to the utility source voltage and the generator shuts down.

The HS Type transfer switch is controlled by the generator circuit board via control wires 23 and 194.
Wire 23 connects the relay driver output (collector of
an NPN transistor) on the generator circuit board to
the "low side" (Terminal 23) of the transfer relay coil
in the transfer switch. Wire 194 connects positive
battery voltage from the generator circuit board to the
"high side" (Terminal 194) of the transfer relay coil in
the transfer switch.

If generator wires 23 and 194 are not wired to
the correct terminals in the transfer switch, the
circuit board in the generator control panel will
be damaged.
In order for the generator utility voltage sensing and
battery charging functions to work, it is necessary to
provide a 5 amp fused 240Vac utility source connection from the transfer switch main N1 and N2 terminals to the generator control panel N1 and N2 terminals (See Figure 2.3).

Transfer Switch terminals N1 and N2 (also called
Utility 1 and Utility 2) are the input utility AC power
connections to the Transfer Switch. Transfer Switch
terminals T1 and T2 (also called Load 1 and Load 2)
are the transfer switch AC output power terminals
that go to the load circuit distribution panel. Transfer
Switch terminals E1 and E2 are the AC power terminals that come from the generator's main alternator.

2.10 ENGINEERED TRANSFER SWITCH
(2-WIRE START GTS MODE)
When required, the pre-packaged standby generator
can be installed with an engineered W Type transfer
switch which controls utility voltage sensing, weekly
exercising and load transferring.
When Position 2 of the eight-position DIP switch,
which is located on the generator circuit board (See
Figure 3.2), is in the ON position then utility voltage
sensing, weekly exercising and load transferring is
under the control of the Engineered W Type transfer
switch (GTS Mode).
Generator DIP Switch Position 2 ON = 2-Wire Start
GTS Mode
• The generator control board will NOT monitor the
utility.
• The generator control board will NOT perform a
weekly exercise. (The five red LEDs will flash one
at a time in GTS mode.)
• The generator control board will NOT activate the
transfer output.
The generator control board WILL monitor all engine
conditions and shut down on all the faults listed in
this document.
For the W Type transfer switch to control utility voltage sensing, weekly exercising and load transferring,
suitable wiring must also be connected from the
transfer switch 178 and 183, 2-Wire Start terminals
to the corresponding generator 178 and 183 2-Wire

Start terminals. Recommended wire gauge sizes for
the 2-Wire Start wiring depend on the length of the
wire (see wiring length chart).
MAXIMUM WIRE LENGTH
460 feet (140m)
461 to 730 feet (223m)
731 to 1,160 feet (354m)
1,161 to 1,850 feet (565m)

RECOMMENDED WIRE
SIZE
No. 18 AWG.
No. 16 AWG.
No. 14 AWG.
No. 12 AWG.

Route the 2-Wire Start control wires through suitable,
approved conduit which is separate from the AC
power leads. Connection of wire 178 to wire 183 by
relay contact closure action (volt free switch contacts)
in the transfer switch must result in generator engine
cranking and startup (See Figure 2.4).

Do NOT connect battery voltage, utility voltage
(N1/N2) or load voltage (T1/T2) to either the
178 or the 183 2-Wire start terminals as this will
damage the generator control board.
In order for the generator battery charging function to
work, it is necessary to provide a 5 amp fused 240Vac
utility source connection from the transfer switch
main N1 and N2 terminals to the generator control
panel N1 and N2 terminals (See Figure 2.4).

When in GTS mode, the control board will respond
as follows based on the generator AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch position.
OFF — The generator will not start and run in this
position

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding.

MANUAL — The generator control board will start
and run the generator whenever the switch is in the
manual position.
AUTO — The generator control board will monitor
the 2-Wire start circuit (terminals 178 and 183 in the
generator control panel). When a 2-Wire start signal
is issued by the W type engineered transfer switch,
via a relay contact closure that connects wire 178 to
wire 183, the generator control board will immediately start and run the generator. When the 2-Wire
start signal is removed the control board will immediately stop the generator.

2.11 BATTERY INSTALLATION
DANGER

Standby generators installed with automatic
transfer switches will crank and start automatically when NORMAL (UTILITY) source voltage is
removed or is below an acceptable preset level.
To prevent such automatic start-up and possible
injury to personnel, do not connect battery
cables until certain that normal source voltage at
the transfer switch is correct; the generator main
line circuit breaker is switched to OFF; the
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch on the control console is switched to OFF; the 15A and 5A fuses
have been removed from the control console;
utility fed supply to battery charger (terminals
N1 and N2) is removed; and the system is ready
to be placed into operation. Ensure that the 5A
and 15A fuses in the control panel are removed
when connecting or disconnecting battery cables.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture
around the battery 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.

Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
burns. Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin,
clothing, painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective
goggles, protective clothing and gloves when
handling a battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the
affected area immediately with clear water.

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte can be toxic and harmful to the skin
and eyes.
The battery represents a risk of high short circuit current. When working on the battery,
always remove watches, rings or other metal
objects, and only use tools that have insulated
handles.

2.11.1 VENTED BATTERIES

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 one pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to one gallon (4 liters) of water. The
bicarbonate 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.
Lead acid batteries present a risk of fire
because they generate hydrogen gas. The following procedure are to be followed:
• DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries,
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area, and
• Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal
surface.
Servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and
the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

Section 2 — Installation
Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

The recommended battery is Group 26, 12VDC, 550
CCA/75 AH minimum. All batteries must be at 100
percent state-of-charge before they are installed on
the generator.
When using maintenance-free batteries, it is not necessary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level.
Have these procedures performed at the intervals
specified in Section 4, “Maintenance.” A negative
ground system is used. Battery connections are
shown on the wiring diagrams. Make sure all batteries are correctly connected and terminals are tight.
Observe battery polarity when connecting batteries to
the generator set.
NOTE:
Damage will result if the battery connections are
made in reverse.

2.12 PREPARATION BEFORE START-UP
The instructions in this section assume that the
standby generator has been properly installed, serviced, tested, adjusted and otherwise prepared for use
by a competent, qualified installation contractor. Be
sure to read the “Safety Rules” on pages 2 and 3, as
well as all other safety information in this manual,
before attempting to operate this (and related) equipment.

2.12.1 PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP

Prior to initially starting the generator, it must
be properly prepared for use. Any attempt to
crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended types
and quantities of engine fluids (oil, coolant,
fuel, etc.) may result in an engine failure.
Before starting the generator for the first time, the
installer must complete the following procedures. For
follow-up maintenance information and/or service
intervals, please refer to Section 4, “Maintenance.”

2.12.2 TRANSFER SWITCH
If this generator is used to supply power to any electrical system normally powered by an electric utility,
the National Electrical Code requires that a transfer
switch be installed. The transfer switch prevents electrical backfeed between two different electrical systems, (for additional information, see the applicable
transfer switch manual for this unit). The transfer
switch, as well as the generator and other standby
components, must be properly located and mounted
in strict compliance with applicable codes, standards
and regulations.

2.12.3 FUEL SYSTEM
Make sure the fuel supply system to the generator (a)
delivers the correct fuel at the correct pressure and
volume and, (b) is properly purged and leak tested
according to code. No fuel leakage is permitted.

2.12.4 GENERATOR SET LUBRICATION
Check the engine crankcase oil level before operating
and add oil to the proper level – the dipstick “FULL”
mark. Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the dipstick “ADD” mark. See “Specifications”
and “Engine Oil Recommendations”.
NOTE:
This engine is shipped from the manufacturer
with 15W-40 oil. This oil should be changed after
30 hours of operation.

2.12.5 ENGINE COOLANT
Have the engine cooling system properly filled with
the recommended coolant mixture. Check the system
for leaks and other problems. See “Specifications”
and “Coolant”.

2.12.6 BELT TENSION
Check the engine fan belt tension and condition prior
to placing the unit into service and at recommended
intervals. Belt tension is correct when a force of
approximately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied midway
between pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8inches (10 to 16 mm).

2.12.7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Make sure the generator is properly connected to an
approved earth ground and/or ground rod.
Make sure the generator battery is fully charged,
properly installed and interconnected, and ready for
use.
Check to ensure that there are no loose electrical connections. Restrain any loose wires to keep them clear
of any moving generator set components.

ENGINE GOVERNOR GAIN
ADJUSTMENTS

Engine speed governing is also controlled by the
engine control board. The engine governor has been
set by the factory during final testing of the generator
and should not be adjusted.
If, however, adjustments are necessary, the following
procedure should be followed (Figure 3.2 and Section
3.7):
1. Move DIP switch 8 to the TEST mode (OFF position).
2. Set all three potentiometers (pots) fully counterclockwise.
3. Under no load condition, increase the GAIN pot
as much as possible without causing instability.
4. Apply 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full load to the unit.
Decrease the GAIN pot if there is instability at any
load point.
5. Under full load condition, increase the stability
pot until the unit returns to 60 Hertz (or 50 Hertz
in 50 Hertz applications).

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

6. Reduce load to 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and no load.
Decrease the stability pot if there is instability at
any load point.
7. Adjust differential pot to make the recovery to
load changes even faster and minimize load
change undershoot and overshoot. If it is set too
high, it may introduce oscillations at some load.
It can be set to zero (full CCW) if a small amount
causes oscillations at some load.
8. Leave DIP switch 8 in TEST mode.

3.4

MANUAL RETRANSFER AND
SHUTDOWN

When utility power source voltage has been restored,
electrical loads may be transferred back to that
source and the generator can be shut down as follows:
• Verify that utility power supply voltage to the transfer switch has been positively turned Off, using
whatever means provided (such as utility main line
circuit breaker).
• Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its Off
or Open position.
• Let the generator engine run at no-load for a few
minutes, to stabilize internal unit temperatures.
• On the generator console, set the Auto/Off/ Manual
switch to Off. Wait for engine to come to a complete
stop.
• For transfer to utility position, refer to the Owner’s
Manual of the particular transfer switch.
• Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer
switch, using whatever means provided (such as a
utility main line circuit breaker). The utility power
source now powers the loads.

3.5

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

To set the system for fully automatic operation, proceed as follows:
• Check that load circuits are connected to the
utility power supply.
• Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its AUTO
position.
• Set the generator main circuit breaker to its ON or
CLOSED position.

3.6

1. Place the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch in the
AUTO position (Figure 3.3).
2. Press and hold the “Set Exercise Time” switch for
five seconds, then release.
At this time all five red LEDs will flash for approximately 10 seconds, then the engine will start and run
for it’s 12 minute exercise period, then shut down.
The generator will now start and run each week at the
same time.

If DC power to the control board is lost, the weekly
exercise setting will be lost. This is indicated by all
five red LEDs continually flashing. In this state the
generator will still start and run in MANUAL mode,
or automatically start and run if utility is lost while in
AUTO mode, but it will not perform a weekly exercise
cycle.
If a failure occurs while running in this mode, the five
red LEDs will stop flashing, the individual fault LED
will turn on and the engine will shut down. Once the
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch has been switched to
OFF, the individual fault LED will turn OFF and the
five red LEDs will begin flashing to show exercise has
still not been set.

WEEKLY EXERCISE CYCLE

The engine control board will start and run the generator once every seven days for approximately 12
minutes. If utility should fail during this exercise
period, the engine control board will transfer the load
to the generator output and continue to run until utility returns.
On the day, and at the time of day chosen for the generator to exercise, set the weekly exercise cycle as follows:

3.7

CONTROL BOARD DIP SWITCH
SETTINGS

Located on the control board is an eight position DIP
switch (see Figure 3.2). The eight different switches,
are used to configure the control board for the specific engine and governor being used and are pre-set
at the factory.

3.8

VOLTAGE REGULATOR
ADJUSTMENT

Four adjustment potentiometers are provided on the
voltage regulator installed in the control panel (Figure
3.4). These are (a) voltage adjust, (b) gain, (c) stability and (d) underfrequency adjust. The voltage regulator potentiometers have been factory set and
SHOULD NOT be adjusted. If however, adjustments
are necessary, contact the local Dealer to implement
the following procedure.

If the DIP switch settings are not set correctly,
the generator may not start or operate correctly.

240 VAC can be present within the control
panel.
If it is necessary to select an alternate switch position,
move the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF
position. Remove the 15 amp fuse in the generator
control panel. Move the DIP switch position that
needs to be changed to its new position. Wait five seconds, then re-install the 15 amp fuse.

High voltage is present inside the control panel
during this procedure.
1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator
(initial adjustments are done under no-load conditions).

Figure 3.4 — Voltage Regulator

The ON position is marked on the switch and is
shown in Figure 3.2.
Switch Position 1 — Selects the generator alternator
output frequency and is factory pre-set for 60 Hz.
Switch Position 2 — Selects the type of transfer
switch and is factory pre-set for an automatic transfer switch (ATS).
Switch Position 3 — Selects the type of governor
control used, and is factory pre-set for stepper motor
operation.
Switch Position 4 — Selects the type of fuel being
used and is factory pre-set for natural gas (NG).
Switch Position 5 — Selects the engine displacement
and is factory pre-set for a 2.5 liter (2.5L) engine.
Switch Position 6 — Selects the number of engine
cylinders and is factory pre-set for four cylinders.
Switch Position 7 — Selects the direction of rotation
of the governor stepper motor and is factory pre-set
for CCW rotation (rotation is observed looking at the
stepper shaft as it moves from closed throttle to open
throttle).
Switch Position 8 — Selects whether the control is
in the Normal Mode of operation or Test Mode. In the
Normal Mode of operation, pre-determined governor
gains are used and the gain trimpots on the control
board (Gain, Stability, and Differential) are not active
and have no effect on the gains. In Test Mode the gain
trimpots are active and can be adjusted. See Section
3.3.

8. If the RED REGULATOR LED is flashing, adjust
the STABILITY pot in either direction until the
flashing stops.
9. Apply an electrical load and check the engine
speed recovery.
A. Adjust the UNDERFEQUENCY ADJUST pot
CCW to reduce load during engine recovery.
B. For flat regulation (no voltage decrease as frequency drops) set the UNDERFREQUENCY
ADJUST pot fully CW.
C. To obtain a constant voltage regulation as frequency decreases, set the UNDERFREQUENCY
ADJUST pot fully CCW.
10. With the electrical load still applied, check the
REGULATOR LED for flashing. If the LED is
flashing, adjust the STABILITY pot until the flashing stops.
11. If better response is needed, adjust the GAIN pot
clockwise (CW) as needed. Then (if needed) correct for stability by adjusting the STABILITY pot.
12. Turn OFF the electrical loads.
13. Verify that all the voltage regulator’s LED’s are
ON.
14. Turn OFF the generator.

4.6

OVERLOAD PROTECTION FOR
ENGINE DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Engine cranking, start up and running are controlled
by a solid state Engine Controller circuit board.
Battery voltage is delivered to that circuit board via a
15 amp fuse. These overcurrent protection devices
will open if the circuit is overloaded.

Figure 4.2 — Cylinder Head Installation

If a circuit breaker opens or a fuse element
melts, find the cause of the overload before
resetting the circuit breaker or replacing the
fuse.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

4.7.1

CHECK ENGINE OIL

Check engine crankcase oil level (Figure 4.3) at least
every 20 hours of operation, or prior to use.
• Remove oil dipstick and wipe dry with a clean,
lint-free cloth.
• Install oil dipstick, then remove again.
• Oil should be between FULL and ADD marks.
• If oil level is below the dipstick ADD mark, remove

Refer to “Checking Fluid Levels”.

4.8.2

4.8.6

Do not attempt to adjust the governor. Only
qualified service facilities should adjust the
governor. Excessively high operating speeds are
dangerous and increase the risk of personal
injury. Low speeds impose a heavy load on the
engine when adequate engine power is not
available and may shorten engine life. Correct
rated frequency and voltage are supplied only
at the proper governed speed. Some connected
electrical load devices may be damaged by
incorrect frequency and/or voltage. Only qualified service technicians should adjust the governed speed.

4.8.10 CHANGING ENGINE OIL

“Specifications” for cooling system recommendations.

4.9

MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE

4.9.1

CLEANING THE GENERATOR

Keep the generator as clean and as dry as possible.
Dirt and moisture that accumulates on internal generator windings have an adverse effect on insulation
resistance.
Periodically clean generator exterior surfaces. A soft
brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt. Use a
vacuum system or dry, low pressure air to remove
any accumulations of dirt. The generator is housed
inside an all-weather enclosure, clean the enclosure
with a soft, damp cloth or sponge and water.
Once each year have the generator cleaned and
inspected by an Authorized Service Dealer. That dealer will use dry, low pressure air to clean internal
windings. Parts inside the control console should be
cleaned and inspected at this time as well.
Finally, have the insulation resistance of stator and
rotor windings checked. If insulation resistances are
excessively low, the generator may require drying.

4.9.2

BATTERY

All lead-acid storage batteries discharge when not in
use. Refer to specific instructions and warnings that
accompany the battery. If such information is not
available, observe the following precautions when
handling a battery:
• DO NOT use jumper cables and a booster battery
to crank or start the generator engine.
• DO NOT recharge a weak battery while it is
installed in the generator. Remove battery from
generator and recharge in a well-ventilated area,
away from fuel vapors, sparks, heat or flames.
• Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic
sulfuric solution that can cause severe burns. DO
NOT permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,
painted surfaces, wiring insulation, etc. If any battery fluid is spilled, flush the affected area with
clear water immediately.
• Always wear safety glasses, rubber apron and
gloves when handling a battery.
• Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas while
charging. The gas can form an explosive mixture
around the battery for several hours after charging.
Any spark, heat or flames can ignite the gas and
cause an explosion which can shatter the battery,
causing blindness or other serious injury.

Section 4 — Maintenance
Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

4.9.3

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

The battery should be inspected per Section 4.7,
Scheduled Maintenance. The following procedure
should be followed for inspection:
1. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness
and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.
2. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries
and, if necessary, fill with DISTILLED WATER
ONLY. Do not use tap water in batteries.
3. Have the state of charge and condition checked.
This should be done with an automotive-type battery hydrometer.

DANGER
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture
around the battery 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.

Do not use any jumper cables or booster battery to crank and start the generator engine. If
the battery has completely discharged, remove
it from the generator for recharging.

Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to
the OFF position, before connecting the battery
cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL,
the generator can crank and start as soon as
the battery cables are connected.
Be sure the utility power supply to the battery
charger is turned off, or sparking may occur at
the battery posts as the cables are attached
and cause an explosion.

4.10 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The following is a recommended maintenance schedule for small standby and residential generator sets. The
established intervals in the schedule are the maximum recommended when the unit is used in an average service
application. They will need to be decreased (performed more frequently) if the unit is used in a severe application.
Use calendar time from the previous maintenance interval to determine the next required maintenance interval.

Service Maintenance Interval Information:
The various service maintenance intervals are designated by interval numbers as follows:
1 An early inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate when required and to identify any potential problem areas.
Performed monthly this requires approximately .5 man-hours per unit to complete.
This inspection may be performed by the end user providing the following safety steps are taken to prevent
the engine from starting automatically without warning:
To prevent injury, perform the following steps in the order indicated before starting any maintenance:
•
Disable the generator set from starting and/or connecting to the load by setting the control panel
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF position.
•
Remove the 5 amp and 15 amp control panel fuses.
•
Turn off the battery charger (turn OFF utility supply to ATS).
•
Remove the negative battery cable.

The battery charger must be turned off BEFORE removing the battery cable to prevent an over current condition from burning out sensitive control panel components and circuits.
Following all maintenance, reverse these steps to assure the unit is returned to standby setup for normal
operation when required.
2 A break-in service inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when
required, and to identify any potential problem areas.
Performed ONLY ONCE following the first three months of operation after purchase of the unit and requires
approximately 2.5 man-hours per unit to complete.
This inspection contains some maintenance tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge
to accomplish and should be performed only by an Authorized Service Dealer.
3 An operational inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when required,
and to identify any potential problem areas.
Performed semi-annually this requires approximately 1.5 man-hours per unit to complete.
This inspection contains some maintenance tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge
to accomplish and should be performed only by an Authorized Service Dealer.
4 A mid-level inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when required, and
to identify any potential problem areas.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your new engine.* In California, new utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. 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 improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. 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 1995 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, during 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 Dealer.

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 due to 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 unapproved 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 Dealer as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.
To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer nearest you, call our toll-free number:

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 law. See also the “Generac Power
Systems, Inc., Two Year Limited Warranty” 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 Dealer. When requesting warranty service, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at the following address:

Section 10 – Warranty
Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1995 and later model year engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 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 continue 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 CARB pursuant to its
authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification.
(c) The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(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 Dealer.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer, the owner shall not be held responsible 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 owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac
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.

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
