GENERATOR FAMILIARIZATION
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 questions pertaining to its
application, write or
call the factory.
Do
not
use
the
unit
until you have been advised by a competent
authority.
DANGER:
FOR
FIRE
SAFETY,
THE
GENER·
ATOR
MUST
HAVE
BEEN
PROPERLY
INSTALLED
IN
COMPLIANCE
WITH
(1)
ANSI119.2·1975/NFPA
501C·1974
"STANDARD
FOR
RECREATIONAL
VEHICLES",
PART
Ill,
"INSTALLATION
OF
ELEC·
TRICAL
SYSTEMS."
THE
GENERATOR
ALSO
MUST
HAVE
BEEN
INSTALLED
IN
STRICT
COM-
PLIANCE
WITH
THE
MANUFACTURER'S
DETAILED
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS.
AFTER
INSTALLA·
TION,
DO
NOTHING
THAT
MIGHT
RENDER
THE
UNIT
IN
NON-COMPLIANCE
WITH
SUCH
CODES,
STANDARDS
AND
INSTRUCTIONS.
You
can
use
this generator
to
supply electrical power
for operating
120 volts, single phase,
60
Hertz, elec-
trical loads.
These loads
can
require
up
to
3000 watts
{3.0
kW)
from the NP-30G.
CAUTION:
Do
not
overload
the
generator.
Some
installations
may
require
that
electrical
loads
be
alternated
to
avoid
overloading.
Applying
exces-
sively
high
electrical
loads
may
damage
the
gener·
ator
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
current}
for
starting
than
for
continuous
operation.

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
in
potential hazard areas of the recreational vehicle.
Safety should be stressed to all operators of this
equipment.
