GENERAL
INFORMATION
1.2 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 any questions pertaining to its
application, write or call the factory. Do not use the
unit
until you have been advised by competent
authority.
DANGER
A
For fire safety, the generator must have been
properly installed in compliance with 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 installation instruc­
tions. After installation, do nothing that might
render the unit in noncompliance with such
codes, standards and instructions.
You can use your generator set to supply electrical
power for operating one of the following electrical
loads:
• PRIMEPACT 70G: 120 and/or 240 volts, single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can
require up to 7000 watts (7.0 kW) of power, but
cannot exceed 58.3 AC amperes of current at 120
volts or exceed 29.2 AC amperes at 240 volts.
• PRIMEPACT 70LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can
require up to 6600 watts (6.6 kW) of power, but
cannot exceed 55 AC amperes of current at 120
volts or exceed 27.5 AC amperes at 240 volts.

CAUTION
M
-----------------
Do not overload the generator. Some installa­
tions may require that electrical loads be alter­
nated to avoid overloading. Applying exces­
sively high electrical loads may damage the
generator 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.
1.3 INSTALLATION
This Owner's Manual has been prepared under (he
assumption
that a competent, qualified technician
installed the generator into an induslrial vehicle. We
also assume the installer complied with all apirlicable
codes, standards and regulations pertaining to instal­
lation.
An INSTALLATION MANUAL was sliipped witli llie
generator.
That Manual contains inanufactnrer's
instructions and recommendations for installing the
unit into an industrial vehicle. After installation,
installers should forward the Installation Manual to
Owners/Operators for their information.
Owners/Operators have the responsibility to make
sure that nothing is done that might render the instal­
lation unsafe or in non-complianc(' with apirlicable
codes, standards and instructions.
1.4 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 SAFE'l'Y RULES to
potential operators of this equipment.
1.5 GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEM
These air-cooled generator sets are 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.
Generators may be installed to provide the following
outputs;
1) 120 VAC loads only — one load with a mirxiinum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s
rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the
generator output terminals.
2) 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a niiiximum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s
rated power output, and 240 V across the generator
output terminals; or two seperate loads, each willi a
maximum total wattage requirement equal to half of
the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and
120 V across the generator output terminals.
