Safety
Throughout this publication and on tags and decals
affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION blocks are used to alert personnel to special
instructions about a particular operation that may be
hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe
them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
NOTE:
Notes provide additional information important to
a procedure or component.
These safety alerts cannot eliminate the hazards they
indicate. Observing safety precautions and strict
compliance with the special instructions while performing
the action or service are essential to preventing
accidents.
Read This Manual Thoroughly
This diagnostic manual has been written and published
by Generac to aid dealer technicians and company
service personnel when servicing the products described
herein.
It is assumed that these personnel are familiar with the
servicing procedures for these products, or like or similar
products manufactured and marketed by Generac, and
that they have been trained in the recommended
servicing procedures for these products, including the
use of common hand tools and any special Generac tools
or tools from other suppliers.
Generac could not possibly know of and advise the
service trade of all conceivable procedures by which a
service might be performed and of the possible hazards
and/or results of each method. We have not undertaken
any such wide evaluation. Therefore, anyone who uses a
procedure or tool not recommended by Generac must
first satisfy themselves that neither his nor the products
safety will be endangered by the service procedure
selected.
All information, illustrations and specifications in this
manual are based on the latest product information
available at the time of publication.
When working on these products, remember that the
electrical system and engine ignition system are capable
of violent and damaging short circuits or severe electrical
shocks. If you intend to perform work where electrical
terminals could be grounded or touched, the battery
cables should be disconnected at the battery.
Any time the intake or exhaust openings of the engine
are exposed during service, they should be covered to
prevent accidental entry of foreign material. Entry of such
materials will result in extensive damage when the
engine Is started.
During any maintenance procedure, replacement
fasteners must have the same measurements and
strength as the fasteners that were removed. Metric bolts
and nuts have numbers that indicate their strength.
Customary bolts use radial lines to indicate strength
while most customary nuts do not have strength
markings. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can cause
damage, malfunction and possible injury.
Replacement Parts
When servicing this equipment, it is extremely important
that all components be properly installed and tightened. If
improperly installed and tightened, sparks could ignite
fuel vapors from fuel system leaks.
