General Information
2.3 — Emissions Information
The Environmental Protection Agency (and California Air Resource
Board for generators certified to CA standards) requires that this gen-
erator comply with exhaust and evaporative emission standards.
Locate the emissions compliance decal on the engine to determine
what standards the generator meets, and to determine which war-
ranty applies. This generator is certified to operate on LP fuel (liquid
propane). The emission control system includes the following compo-
nents (if equipped):
• Air Induction System
— Intake Pipe / Manifold
— Air Cleaner
• Fuel System
— Carburetor/Mixer Assembly
— Fuel Regulator
• Ignition System
— Spark Plug
— Ignition Module
• Exhaust System
— Exhaust Manifold
— Muffler
— Pulsed Air Valve
— Catalyst

2.4.3 — High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too
rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A
very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was
certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications
to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above
5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have your servicing dealer perform this car-
buretor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude with
the carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emis-
sion standard throughout its useful life.
See the table below to determine when an altitude kit is required..

* Elevation above sea level.
** At elevations above 7000 feet the engine may experience decreased
performance.
Call 1-888-GENERAC to order an altitude kit if you are operating
the generator at 5000 - 7000 feet.
2.5 — Know The Generator
Read the Owner's Manual and Safety Rules before operating this
generator.
Compare the generator to Figures 2-4 through 2-8 to become familiar-
ized with the locations of various controls and adjustments.
1.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle – Supplies electrical
power for the operation of 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, single-phase, 60
Hz electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads.
2.
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking Receptacle – Supplies elec-
trical power for the operation of 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, 30 Amp,
single-phase, 60 Hz, electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor
loads.
3.
Circuit Breakers (AC) – A 2-pole circuit breaker protects the
rated output of the generator. Each duplex receptacle is provided
with a push-to-reset circuit breaker to protect the generator
against electrical overload.
4.
