EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

SAFETY RULES

The generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible
electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads.
This manual contains information for a generator that
operates 120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz
devices that require up to 5000 watts (5.0 kW) of
power that pull up to 41.7 Amps at 120 Volts or
20.8 Amps at 240 Volts

WARNING:

The engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
This generator set was designed and manufactured
for specific applications. Do not attempt to modify the
unit or use it for any application it was not designed
for. If you have any questions about your generator’s
application, ask your dealer or consult the factory.

CAUTION! Do not exceed the generator’s
wattage/amperage capacity. See “Don’t
Overload the Generator” on page 9.

The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every
circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that
reason, warnings in the manual and warnings on tags
or decals affixed to the unit are not all-inclusive. If you
intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a
procedure or method not specifically recommended
by the manufacturer, first make sure that such a
procedure or method will not render this equipment
unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.

The generator’s revolving field is driven at about
3600 rpm by a single-cylinder engine.

DANGER! Do not tamper with engine
governed speed. Improper operating speeds
are dangerous and increase risk of personal
injury or damage to equipment.
If you have any problems with the use of your
generator, please call the Generator Helpline at
1-800-270-1408.
Important: Any attempt to run the engine before it
has been serviced with the recommended oil will
result in an engine failure.

Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator set. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
• The generator produces a very powerful voltage
that can cause extremely dangerous electrical
shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, etc.
Never permit an untrained person to operate or
service the generator.

CONTENTS
Included with your generator are:

• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device
while standing in water, while barefoot, or while
hands or feet are wet.

• The main unit.
• Wheel kit.

• The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground. Local electrical codes may also
require proper grounding of the generator. Consult
with a local electrician for grounding requirements
in your area.

• Video.
• Engine Owner’s Manual.
• Generator Owner’s Manual.
If unit is operated in cold weather, please review
“Cold Weather Operation” on page 7 before
discarding carton.

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

2

Generac Portable Products PP5000T Generator

• Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise
damaged electrical cord sets with the generator.
Using a defective cord set may result in electrical
shock or damage to equipment and/or property.

• Do not insert any object through cooling slots of the
engine-generator. You could damage the unit or
injure yourself.
• Never operate the generator: in the rain; in any
enclosed compartment; if connected electrical
devices overheat; if electrical output is lost; if
engine or generator sparks; if flame/smoke is seen
while unit is running; if unit vibrates excessively.

• Operate unit only on level surfaces and where it will
not be exposed to excessive moisture, dirt, dust or
corrosive vapors.
• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are
EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open flames,
sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling
gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine.
Comply with all laws regulating storage and
handling of gasoline.

GROUNDING THE
GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame
and external electrically conductive parts of this
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, a
GROUNDING WING NUT is provided on the
generator (Figure 1).

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for
fuel expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can overflow
onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or EXPLOSION.
• Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where
gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark
or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer). FIRE or EXPLOSION may result.

Figure 1 — Grounding Wing Nut

• Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas. This dangerous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death. Operate this
equipment only in the open air where adequate
ventilation is available.
• The engine-generator requires an adequate flow of
cooling air for its continued proper operation. Never
operate the unit inside any room or enclosure
where the free flow of cooling air into and out of the
unit might be obstructed. Without sufficient cooling
air flow, the unit quickly overheats, damaging the
generator or nearby property.

Grounding Wing Nut
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing
nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding
rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against
electrical shock. Be careful to keep the grounding
wire attached after connecting the stranded copper
wire. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult
with a local electrician for grounding requirements in
your area.

• Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of
generator, even while operating unit outdoors, or
you could damage the unit. However, when
operating unit in cold weather, refer to the “Cold
Weather Operation” section on page 7.
• Never start or stop the engine-generator with
electrical loads connected to receptacles AND with
the connected devices turned ON. Start the engine
and let it stabilize before connecting any electrical
loads. Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting
down the generator.

Properly grounding the generator helps prevent
electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists in the
generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper
grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded devices.

WHEEL KIT INSTALLATION

BEFORE STARTING UNIT

To install wheel kit you need the following tools:
• 15/16" (22mm) box, open end, or socket wrench

Add Oil
WARNING! Any attempt to start the engine

• Two 13mm box, open end, or socket wrenches

before it has been properly filled with the
recommended oil may result in engine failure.

Install Wheel Kit as follows: (Refer to Figure 2)

NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in
the future, use only clean, high quality detergent oil
rated with API service classification SF, SG, SH,
SH/CD or higher rated SAE 30. Use no special
additives.

Figure 2 — Installing the Wheel Kit

Jam Nut

Use Existing
Fasteners to
Secure Leg

Retaining Pin

• Summer - Above 40°F, use SAE 30.

• Place bottom of generator cradle on a flat surface.

• Winter - Below 40°F, use synthetic SAE 5W–30 or
SAE 10W.

• Place axle stud through wheel retainer on cradle
frame.

DO NOT USE SAE 10W40
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from running low
on oil. Review oil fill instructions in the engine manual.

• Use 15/16” wrench to secure the axle stud to frame
with 5/8-18 jam nut.
• Install the other axle stud in the same manner.
NOTE: Be sure to install wheel with raised hub
inboard.
• Place flat washer over axle stud, tip unit and install
the wheel.

To fill your engine with oil:
• Place generator on a level surface.

• Retain wheel on axle stud with retaining pin. Install
other wheel on remaining axle shaft the same way.

• Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill plug and
dipstick.

• Remove two front nuts and lock washers from
vibration mount with 13mm wrench. Use these nuts
to retain the mounting leg.

• Wipe dipstick clean.
• Pour oil into oil fill opening until oil reaches FULL
mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill!

• Center the lifting handle on generator end of cradle.
Attach the handle using two 13mm wrenches with
two capscrews and two hex nuts.

NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no
additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

OPERATING THE
GENERATOR

Add Gasoline
DANGER! NEVER fill fuel tank indoors.
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when
filling the fuel tank.

CAUTION! Never start or stop the engine

with electrical loads connected generator AND
with the connected devices turned ON.

WARNING! Do not overfill the fuel tank.
Always allow room for fuel expansion.

Starting the Engine

• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the
generator engine. Do not use gasoline containing
methanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

DANGER! Breathing Hazard! Never run
engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated
areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank.
Be careful not to overfill. Allow about 1/2" of tank
space for fuel expansion, as shown in Figure 3.

WARNING! Burn Hazard! Temperature of

muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150°F
(65°C). Avoid these areas.

Figure 3 — Recommended Air Space

• Unplug all electrical loads from generator
receptacles before starting the engine.
• Make sure the unit is in a level position.
• Open the fuel shut–off valve (Figure 4).
Figure 4 — Open Fuel Tank Valve

• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcoholblended fuels (called gasohol or ethanol) can attract
moisture, which leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.

• Move the choke lever to the “Full Choke” position
(Figure 5).
Figure 5 — Choke Positions

“Full Choke” Position

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See
“Storage” on page 10. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

6

“No Choke”
Position

Generac Portable Products PP5000T Generator

• Set the engine “Run/Stop” switch to the “On (–)”
position.

• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and
generator.

• Grasp starter grip and pull slowly until you feel
some resistance. Then pull cord out with rapid full
arm stroke. Let rope return slowly. Do not let rope
“snap back” against starter.

• Move engine control switch to “Off (o)” position.
• Close the fuel shut–off valve.

COLD WEATHER
OPERATION

• When engine starts, move choke lever to a
“Half Choke” position until the engine runs
smoothly and then to “No Choke” position. If engine
falters, move choke lever to “Half Choke” position
until the engine runs smoothly and then to
“No Choke” position.

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures
below 40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your
Generac generator may experience icing of the
carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system.

NOTE: If engine fails to start after 3 pulls, move the
choke lever to “No Choke” position and pull starter
rope again.

In an emergency, use the original shipping box as a
temporary shelter:

NOTE: If the engine fails to start after three (3) pulls,
check for proper oil level in crankcase. Unit is
equipped with a low oil shutdown system. Refer to
engine owner’s manual for further information.

• Cut off all flaps
• Cut out one of the long sides of the box to expose
exhaust side of unit. Ensure a minimum of two feet
clearance between open side of box and nearest
object.

NOTE: If engine fires, but does not continue to run,
move choke lever to “Full Choke” and repeat starting
instructions.

• Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
You may also need to cut a clearance slot for the
handle.

Connecting Electrical Loads

• Start unit, then place box over it.

• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting.

IMPORTANT!: Remove shelter when temperature is
above 40°F [4°C].

• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator:

• Do not connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt
receptacles.

• Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is
exposed. A typical generator is shown in Figure 6.

• Do not connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
• Do not connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

Figure 6 — Temporary Shelter (handle/wheels omitted)

• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up
the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be
connected at one time. This total should not be
greater than the rated wattage/amperage capacity
of the generator. See “Don’t Overload the
Generator” on page 9.

Stopping the Engine
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. Never start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

Generac Portable Products PP5000T Generator

DON’T OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR

• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give
wattage, multiply 120 Volts times ampere rating to
determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power lasts
for only a few seconds when starting such motors.
Be sure you allow for this high starting wattage
when selecting electrical devices to connect to your
generator. First figure the watts needed to start the
largest motor. Add to that figure the running watts of
all other connected loads.

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to the generator and/or
connected electrical devices. Observe the following,
to prevent overloading the unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to
be connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generator’s wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or
decal affixed to the device.

• Items in the wattage reference guide (Figure 10)
are provided to help you to determine how many
items the generator can operate at one time.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
The generator should be started at least once
every seven days and allowed to run at least
30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must
store the unit for more than 30 days, use the following
information as a guide to prepare it for storage.

The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure
that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on
a timely basis; that all discrepancies are corrected;
and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored.

Generator Storage

Never operate a damaged or defective generator.

• Clean the generator as outlined earlier in “To Clean
the Generator.”

Engine Maintenance

• Check that cooling air slots and openings on
generator are open and unobstructed.

See Engine Owner’s Manual for instructions.

Generator Maintenance

DANGER! Storage covers can be flammable.

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit
clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean
dry environment where it will not be exposed to
excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Cooling air slots in the generator must not become
clogged with snow, leaves or any other foreign
material.

Do not place a storage cover over a hot
generator. Let the unit cool for a sufficient time
before placing the cover on the unit.

Engine Storage
See Engine Owner’s Manual for instructions.

NOTE: We do not recommend using a garden hose to
clean generator. Water can enter engine fuel system
and cause problems. In addition, if water enters
generator through cooling air slots, some of the water
will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and
stator winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on
the generator internal windings will eventually
decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

Other Storage Tips
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust
and/or dirt in a gasoline can cause problems when
you use that fuel with this unit.
• Store in clean and dry area.

To Clean the Generator
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on
dirt or oil.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be
used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and
opening on generator. These openings must be
kept clean and unobstructed.

LIMITED WARRANTY FOR PORTABLE GENERATORS
Generac Portable Products (hereafter referred to as THE COMPANY) warrants to the original purchaser that its
generator will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year* from the date of original
purchase. This warranty does not apply to units used for prime power in place of utility. This warranty does not
include the gasoline engine when furnished or attached because such engine is covered solely by the warranty of
the manufacturer of the engine. Starting batteries are not warranted by THE COMPANY.
*NOTE: Rental units, demonstrators, commercial applications, such as construction or income producing, are
warranted for 90 days. Rental units, demonstrators, or commercial applications such as construction or utility
which are resold are not covered under warranty by THE COMPANY. Any warranty, whether expressed or
implied, rests solely with the seller.
During said warranty period, THE COMPANY will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon
examination by THE COMPANY is found to be defective under normal use and service. All transportation costs
under warranty, including return to the factory if necessary, are to be borne by the purchaser and prepaid by the
purchaser. This warranty does not include nominal maintenance and service and does not apply to a generator
set, or parts, which have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, misuse, negligence, accident,
overloading, overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in THE COMPANY's judgment, to
adversely affect its performance and reliability.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY. THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE
DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IS LIMITED TO
THE TIME PERIOD AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. LIABILITY FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES
IS EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUCH AS THE LOSS OF
TIME OR THE USE OF THE POWER EQUIPMENT, OR ANY COMMERCIAL LOSS DUE TO THE
FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT; AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusions or limitations of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
This warranty is effective for all products manufactured after June, 1998, and supersedes all prior warranties of
THE COMPANY.
For service, contact your nearest THE COMPANY authorized warranty service facility or call 1-877-544-0982.
Warranty service can only be performed by a THE COMPANY authorized service facility. At the time of requesting
warranty service, evidence of original purchase date must be presented.
