Generac Power Systems 10000EXL User Manual

Generac 10000EXL Extended Life Generator
• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors are
EXPLOSIVE. Do not permit smoking, open flames,
sparks or heat in the vicinity while handling gaso¬
line. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine.
Comply with all regulations requiring storage and
handling of gasoline.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for
fuel expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can over¬
flow onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or an
EXPLOSION.
• Never store the generator with fuel in the tank
where gasoline vapors might reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater or
clothes dryer). FIRE or an EXPLOSION might
result.
• Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas. 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. Allow at least 2 feet of
clearance on all sides of generator..
• Never start, or stop, the engine-generator with elec¬
trical loads connected to receptacles with the
connected devices turned ON. Start the engine
and let it stabilize before connecting electrical
loads. Disconnect all electrical loads before shut¬
ting down the generator.
• Do not insert any object through cooling slots of the
engine-generator. You could damage the unit or
injure yourself.
• Never operate the generator: (a) in rain; (b) in any
enclosed compartment; (c) if engine speed
changes; (d) if connected electrical devices over¬
heat; (e) if electrical output is lost; (f) if engine or
generator sparks; (g) if flame or smoke is observed
while unit is running; (h) if unit vibrates excessively.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the generator
be properly connected to approved earth ground.
Local electrical codes may also require proper
grounding of the unit. For this purpose, a GROUND
LUG (Figure 1) is provided on the cradle.
Figure 1 — Location of Ground Lug
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the ground lug screw
and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
(electrode) provides adequate protection against elec¬
trical shock. However, local codes may vary widely.
Consult with a local electrician for grounding require¬
ments in your area. Be sure to keep the ground wire
attached while you connect the electrode.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent elec¬
trical shock if ground fault conditions exists in the
generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper
grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded devices.
