rules:
• Install the transfer switch indoors on a firm, sturdy
supporting structure.
• To prevent switch distortion, level the switch if
necessary. This can be done by placing washers
between the switch enclosure and mounting sur-

For oil capacities, see the Specifications section. Oil Fill
For engine oil recommendations, see the Engine Oil
Recommendations section. To check the engine oil
level, proceed as follows (Figures 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4):
1. Move the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to the OFF

2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean 13, 16 & 18kW
cloth.
3. Completely insert the dipstick; then, remove it
again. The oil level should be at the dipstick “Full” Oil Dipstick
mark. If necessary, add oil to the “Full” mark
only. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.

by a certified electrician to ensure there won't be any
electrical problems during generator operation or
when utility is returned.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT


YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your new engine.* In California, new utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. Generac will warrant the emission control
system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modifica-
tion or improper maintenance of your engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Generac will
repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:


Emissions control systems on 1995 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, dur-
ing such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials or
workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.

PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:


As the engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory
supplied Owner’s Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your engine. However, Generac cannot deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
completion of all scheduled maintenance.

As the engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or
responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect , improper maintenance or unap-
proved modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.

You are responsible for contacting a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our toll-free number:

1-800-333-1322
IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System
Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California law. See also the “Generac Limited
Warranties for Generac Power Systems, Inc.,” which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by
Generac. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in
terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where
the Generac Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty describe
important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.

Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty ser-
vice, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at one of
the following addresses:

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY


Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1995 and later model year engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the
date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue
for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or
equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is ...
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the CARB pursuant to its
authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a
warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine
manufacturer’s application for certification.
(c) The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall
be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the
ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner’s Manual
shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or
replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS
Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part
fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection
(4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no
charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible
for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused
by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient
to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS
Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac
ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac
engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.
Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of
such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.
