GENERATOR FAMILIARIZATION
GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac­
tured for supplying electrical power tor 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.
A
DANGER; For fire safety, the generator must have
been properly installed in compliance with (1)
ANSI 119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974 "STANDARD
FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLES", PART III,
"INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS." The
generator also must have been installed in strict
compliance with the manufacturer’s detailed instal­
lation instructions. After installation, 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 volt, single phase, 60 Hertz, electri­
cal loads. These loads can require up to 5500 watts
(5.5 kW)of power, but cannot exceed 46.0 AC
amperes at 120 volts.
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.
GENERATOR AC
CONNECTION SYSTEM
This air-cooled QP Series generator set is equipped
with dual stator AC power windings. These two stator
windings supply electrical power to customer electri­
cal loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection sys­
tem.
The generators have been installed so that units only
power 120 volt AC loads (Figure 1).
