Important Safety Instructions
Guardian Liquid-cooled 10 kW, 15 kW, 20 kW and 25 kW Generators
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – The manufacturer suggests that these rules for safe
operation be copied and posted in potential hazard areas. Safety should be stressed to all
operators, potential operators, and service and repair technicians for this equipment.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions that should be
followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and batteries.
GENERAL HAZARDS
WARNING:
contains chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
The engine exhaust from this product
• For
safety
reasons,
Generac
recommends
that this equipment be installed, serviced and
repaired by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer or
other competent, qualified electrician or installation
technician who is familiar with applicable codes,
standards and regulations. The operator also must
comply with all such codes, standards and regula-
tions.
WARNING:
This product contains or emits chemicals
known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this
(and related) equipment must always comply with
applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations.
Adhere strictly to local, state and national electrical
and building codes. Comply with regulations the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the gener-
ator is installed, operated and serviced in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommen-
dations. Following installation, you must not do any-
thing that might render the unit unsafe or in non-
compliance with the aforementioned codes, stan-
dards, laws and regulations.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide
gas, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if
breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death. For that reason, ade-
quate ventilation must be provided. Exhaust gases
must be piped safely away from any building or
enclosure that houses the generator to an area where
people, animals, etc., will not be harmed. This
exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict
compliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts,
fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove
any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilat-
ing air is critical in any room or building housing the
generator to prevent buildup of explosive gases and
to ensure correct generator operation. Do not alter
the installation or permit even partial blockage of
ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator.
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing,
operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar
with this Owner’s Manual and with the unit. The genera-
tor can operate safely, efficiently and reliably only if it is
properly installed, operated and maintained. Many acci-
dents are caused by failing to follow simple and funda-
mental rules or precautions.
Generac cannot possibly anticipate every possible cir-
cumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in
this
manual,
and
on
tags
and
decals
affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you
use a procedure, work method or operating technique
that Generac does not specifically recommend, you
must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others.
You also must make sure the procedure, work method
or operating technique that you choose does not render
the generator unsafe.
Despite the safe design of this generator,
operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting its
maintenance or being careless can cause
possible injury or death. Permit only responsible and
capable persons to install, operate or maintain this
equipment.
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these
machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the
machine safe before attempting to work on the
generator.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot
during operation. Exercise care near running gen-
erators.
• Keep the area around the generator clean and unclut-
tered. Remove any materials that could become haz-
ardous.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all
times. Never work on the equipment when you are
physically or mentally fatigued.

Important Safety Instructions
Guardian Liquid-cooled 10 kW, 15 kW, 20 kW and 25 kW Generators
• Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly repair • Generators installed with an automatic transfer
or replace all worn, damaged or defective parts using
switch will crank and start automatically when nor-
mal (utility) source voltage is removed or is below an
acceptable preset level. To prevent such automatic
start-up and possible injury to personnel, disable the
generator’s automatic start circuit (battery cables,
etc.) before working on or around the unit. Then,
place a “Do Not Operate” tag on the generator control
panel and on the transfer switch.
only factory-approved parts.
• Before performing any maintenance on the generator,
disconnect its battery cables to prevent accidental
start-up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post
indicated by
a
NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first.
Reconnect that cable last.
• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step.
Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and
may result in dangerous operating conditions from
leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immedi-
ately shut down the source of electrical power. If this
is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the
live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH
THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such
as a dry rope or board, to free the victim from the live
conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid
and get immediate medical help.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment.
Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric
shock, or may get caught in moving components
causing injury.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• All generators covered by this manual produce dan-
gerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical
shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and dan-
gerous voltages to the transfer switch as well as the
standby generator. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter-
minals, connections, etc., on the generator as well as
the transfer switch, if applicable. Ensure all appropri-
ate covers, guards and barriers are in place before
operating the generator. If you must work around an
operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to
reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or
feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK
MAY RESULT.
• If people must stand on metal or concrete while
installing, operating, servicing, adjusting or repairing
this equipment, place insulative mats over a dry
wooden platform. Work on the equipment only while
standing on such insulative mats.
FIRE HAZARDS
• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all
times. Do NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type
extinguisher. Its fumes are toxic, and the liquid can
deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extinguisher
properly charged and be familiar with its use. If you
have any question pertaining to fire extinguishers,
consult your local fire department.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS
• The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250
requires the frame and external electrically conduc-
tive parts of the generator to be connected to an
approved earth ground and/or grounding rods. This
grounding will help prevent dangerous electrical
shock that might be caused by a ground fault condi-
tion in the generator set or by static electricity. Never
disconnect the ground wire.
• Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables and cord
sets must be adequate to handle the maximum elec-
trical current (ampacity) to which they will be sub-
jected.
• Before installing or servicing this (and related) equip-
ment, make sure that all power voltage supplies are
positively turned off at their source. Failure to do so
will result in hazardous and possibly fatal electrical
shock.
• Connecting this unit to an electrical system normally
supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a
transfer switch so as to isolate the generator electric
system from the electric utility distribution system
when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the
two electric system power sources from each other by
such means will result in damage to the generator
and may also result in injury or death to utility power
workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
• Properly ventilate any room or building housing the
generator to prevent build-up of explosive gas.
• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel
or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible
materials are left in the generator compartment, or
on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION
may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator
clean and free from debris.
• Generac generator sets may operate using one of sev-
eral types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAM-
MABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled
with care. Comply with all laws regulating the storage
and handling of fuels. Inspect the unit’s fuel system
frequently and correct any leaks immediately. Fuel
supply lines must be properly installed, purged and
leak tested according to applicable fuel-gas codes
before placing this equipment into service.
• Diesel fuels are highly FLAMMABLE. Gaseous fluids
such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) gas are
extremely EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas is lighter than air,
and LP gas is heavier than air; install leak detectors
accordingly.

figurations, as shown in Figure 2. This type of connec-
tion system will supply a 120 and/or 240 volts, 1 or
3-phase output as shown in the illustration.
Figure 2 - Generator AC Connection System
WARNING: If this generator is used to power
electrical load circuits normally powered by a
utility power source, you are required by code to
install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must
effectively isolate the electric system from the
utility distribution system when the generator is
operating (NEC 701). Failure to isolate an electri-
cal system by such means results in damage to
the generator and may also result in injury or
even death to utility power workers due to back-
feed of electrical energy.
If, however, load voltage requires 120/208 volts, 3-phase
output, generator will require reconnecting of the sta-
tor’s output leads. This task should only be performed
by a qualified Generac service technician. Refer to the
installation manual (Part No. 079699) for details.

Figure 3 represents a single-phase, 3-wire generator AC
WARNING: Gaseous fuels such as natural and LP
(propane) gas are highly explosive. Even the slightest
spark can ignite such fuels and cause an explosion. No
leakage of fuel is permitted. Natural gas, which is lighter
than air, tends to collect in high areas. LP gas is heavier
than air and tends to settle in low areas.
connection system. The stator assembly in this system
consists of a pair of stationary windings, with two leads
brought out of each winding. Each single winding can
supply 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz. When the two windings
are connected in series, a 240 volts, 60 Hertz AC output
results. Typically the two “hot” leads in the circuit are
Wires No. 11 and 44. The “Neutral” leads are the junc-
tion of Wires 22 and 33.
ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES
The engine has several safety switches which cause the
engine to automatically shut down under the following
conditions: low oil pressure, high coolant temperature,
engine overspeed, low coolant level or overcrank.
Figure 3 - Generator AC Connection System
LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH:
This switch is normally-closed (N.C.) but is held open
by engine oil pressure during engine running. Should
operating oil pressure drop below about 8-10 psi (55-68
kPa), the switch contacts close and the engine shuts
down automatically (Figure 4).

Figure 7 - Low Coolant Level Sensor
HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH:
Normally open (N.O.) thermostatic switch has sensing
tip which is immersed in captive coolant. Should
coolant temperature exceed about 230°F (110°C), the
switch contacts close, which causes the engine to shut
down automatically (Figure 6).
Figure 6- High Coolant Temperature Switch
OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN:
The CMA circuit board on liquid cooled units receives
AC frequency (rpm) signals directly from the stator AC
power windings, via sensing leads S15 and S16. Should
AC frequency exceed about 72 Hz, circuit board action
will automatically shutdown the engine (Figure 8).
*Rated power of generator is subject to and limited by
such factors as ambient temperature, altitude, engine
condition, and other factors. Engine power will decrease
about 3.5% for each 1000 feet above sea level and will
decrease an additional 1% for each 10°F above 60°F.
Maximum output power of the generator is limited by
LOW COOLANT LEVEL SWITCH:
maximum engine power.
Should engine coolant level drop below the level of the
high coolant temperature switch, it is possible for the
engine to overheat without automatic shutdown. To
prevent such overheating without automatic shut down,
the engine has a low coolant level sensor. If the engine
coolant drops too low, the engine automatically shuts
down (Figure 7).

Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with eth-
ylene glycol base anti-freeze or chromiumhydroxide
(“green slime”) forms and will cause overheating.
Engines that have been operated with a chromate base
rust inhibitor must be chemically cleaned before
adding ethylene glycol base anti-freeze. Using any
high silicate anti-freeze boosters or additives will also
cause overheating. We also recommend that you DO
NOT use any soluable oil inhibitor for this equipment.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
The unit has been filled with 15W-40 engine oil at the
factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For
Service CC, SD, SE, SF.” Detergent oils keep the engine
cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. Use oil having the
following SAE viscosity rating, based on the ambient
temperature range anticipated before the next oil
change:
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before installing this equipment, check the ratings of
both the generator and the transfer switch. Read
“Emergency Isolation Method” and “Total Circuit
Isolation Method” in the installation manual (Part No.
079699).
Temperature
Above 80° F (27° C)
32° to 80° F (-1° to 27° C)
Below 32° F (0° C)
Oil Grade (Recommended)
SAE 30W or 15W-40
SAE 20W-20 or 15W-40
SAE 10W or 15W-40
CAUTION: Any attempt to crank or start the
engine before it has been properly serviced with
the recommended oil may result in an engine
failure.
The generator’s rated wattage/amperage capacity must
be adequate to handle all electrical loads that the unit
will power. You may have to group the critical (essential)
loads together and wire them into a separate “emer-
gency” distribution panel.
COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS
This generator can be installed in conjunction with a
standard Generac “GTS” type transfer switch, if
desired.
Use a mixture of half low silicate, ethylene glycol base
anti-freeze and half soft water. Cooling system capacity
is about 8 U.S. quarts (8.5 liters). Use only soft water
and only low silicate anti-freeze. If desired, add a high
quality rust inhibitor to the recommended coolant mix-
ture. When adding coolant, always add the recom-
mended 50-50 mixture.
The standard transfer switch has no sensing or con-
trolling circuit boards. Instead, the generator control
console houses a “Control Module Assembly”, which
controls all phases of operation, including engine start
up and load transfer.

EMERGENCY CIRCUIT
ISOLATION METHOD
This prevents overloading the generator by keeping elec-
trical loads below the wattage/amperage capacity of the
generator. If the generator is powering only critical
loads, within the wattage/amperage capacity, during util-
ity power outages, you might consider using the emer-
gency circuit isolation method.
Critical electrical loads are grouped together and wired
into a separate “Emergency Distribution Panel.” Load
circuits powered by that panel are within the
wattage/amperage capacity of the generator set. When
this method is used, it is difficult to overload the gener-
ator. The transfer switch must meet the following
requirements:
GENERATOR AC
• It must have an ampere rating equal to the total
amperage rating of the emergency distribution panel
circuit.
NEUTRAL CONNECTIONS
Generac uses an UNGROUNDED AC neutral. Grounding
is recommended only at the main service entrance. If the
neutral wire is grounded and one of the phase loads
becomes grounded, the excessive current opens the load
circuit breaker or collapses the generator field. The actu-
al result depends on the electrical characteristics of the
particular installed generator.
• Have it installed between the building’s main distribu-
tion panel and the emergency distribution panel.
TOTAL CIRCUIT ISOLATION METHOD
When a generator capable of powering all electrical
loads in the circuit is to be installed, you may use the
“Total Circuit Isolation Method.” It is possible for the
generator to be overloaded when this isolation method
is employed. The following apply to the transfer switch
in this type of system.
TRANSFER SWITCH START
SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
If your generator is to be installed with an automatic
transfer switch, such as a Generac GTS-type switch, it
will be necessary to connect the two-wire start
control system.
• Ampere rating of the transfer switch must equal the
ampere rating of the normal incoming utility service.
• The transfer switch is installed between the utility
service entrance and the building distribution panel.
Connect the two-wire start signal from the automatic
transfer switch to the automatic start connection, which is
located in the right hand corner inside the control panel.
Match wires 178 and 183 in the transfer switch to 178
and 183 on the terminal strip in the control panel. The

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Standby generators installed with automatic trans-
fer switches will crank and start automatically
when normal (utility) source voltage is removed or
is below an acceptable preset level. To prevent
such automatic start-up and possible injury to per-
sonnel, do not connect battery cables until you are
certain that normal source voltage at the transfer
switch is correct and you are ready to place the
system into operation.
Do not connect the ground wire to any pipe that
carries a flammable or explosive substance – FIRE
or an EXPLOSION may result.
Proper grounding helps protect personnel against electri-
cal shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the
generator or in connected electrical devices. In addition,
grounding helps dissipate static electricity that often
builds up in ungrounded devices.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas.
This gas can form an explosive mixture around
the battery for several hours after charging. The
slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause

by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the
required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel
away from batteries.
For recommended batteries, see “Specifications.” All
batteries must be at 100 percent state-of-charge before
they are installed on the generator.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic
sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns.
Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,
painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective goggles,
protective clothing and gloves when handling a
battery. If you spill the fluid, flush the affected
area immediately with clear water.
When using maintenance-free batteries, it is not neces-
sary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level.
Have these procedures performed at the intervals spec-
ified in Section 4, “Maintenance.” A negative ground sys-
tem is used. Battery connections are shown on the
wiring diagrams. Make sure all batteries are correctly
connected and terminals are tight. Observe battery
polarity when connecting batteries to the generator set.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The
battery is capable of exploding.
Note:
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte can be toxic and harmful to the skin
and eyes.
Damage will result if the battery connections are
made in reverse.
The battery represents a risk of high short circuit
current. When working on the battery, always
remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and
only use tools that have insulated handles.
PREPARATION BEFORE START-UP
The instructions in this section assume that the standby
generator has been properly installed, serviced, tested,
adjusted and otherwise prepared for use by a competent,
qualified installation contractor. Be sure to read the
“Safety Rules” on Pages 2 and 3, as well as all other safe-
ty information in this manual, before attempting to
operate this (and related) equipment.
VENTED BATTERIES
N
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically con-
ductive and corrosive. The following procedures
are to be observed:
PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing,
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately with water,
• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly
and immediately with water and seek medical atten-
tion, and
Prior to initially starting the generator, it must be
properly prepared for use. Any attempt to crank
or start the engine before it has been properly
serviced with the recommended types and quanti-
ties of engine fluids (oil, coolant, fuel, etc.) may
result in an engine failure.
• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid-
neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a
solution of one pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of
soda to one gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate
of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of
reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is
to be flushed with water and the area dried.
Before starting the generator for the first time, the
installer must complete the following procedures. For
follow-up maintenance information and/or service inter-
vals, please refer to Section 4, “Maintenance.”
Transfer Switch
If this generator is used to supply power to any electri-
cal system normally powered by an electric utility, the
National Electrical Code requires that a transfer switch
be installed. The transfer switch prevents electrical
backfeed between two different electrical systems.
(For additional information, see the applicable transfer
switch manual for this unit.) The transfer switch, as
well as the generator and other standby components,
must be properly located and mounted in strict compli-
ance with applicable codes, standards and regulations.
Lead acid batteries present a risk of fire because
they generate hydrogen gas. The following proce-
dure are to be followed:
• DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries,
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area, and
• Discharge static electricity from body before touching
batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.

• When utility source voltage drops below a pre-set
Fuel System
level, transfer switch action closes the circuit. The
engine then cranks and starts as controlled by the
pre-packaged generator’s Control Module circuit
board.
Make sure the fuel supply system to the generator (a)
delivers the correct fuel at the correct pressure and (b)
is properly purged and leak tested according to code.
No fuel leakage is permitted. See “Specifications” (Page
7) for more information.
• After the engine starts and when the generator AC
output voltage and frequency have reached a pre-set
value, transfer switch circuits signal the transfer
switch main contacts to actuate to the “Standby”
power source side. Generator AC output then powers
load circuits.
• When the utility power source voltage is restored
above a pre-set level, transfer switch solid state cir-
cuits signal the switch main contacts to move back to
their utility power source side.
Generator Set Lubrication
Check the engine crankcase oil level before operating
and add oil to the proper level – the dipstick “FULL”
mark. Never operate the engine with the oil level below
the dipstick “ADD” mark. See “Specifications” (Page 7)
and “Engine Oil Recommendations” (Page 8).
NOTE:
• Following re-transfer back to the utility power source
side, transfer switch circuit board action opens the
circuit. Engine then shuts down.
This engine is shipped from the manufacturer with
15W-40 oil. This oil should be changed after 30
hours of operation.
NOTE:
Engine Coolant
If your generator is installed in conjunction with a
standard GTS type transfer switch, refer to the
applicable transfer switch manual for exact oper-
ating parameters and timing sequences.
Have the engine cooling system properly filled with the
recommended coolant mixture. Check the system for
leaks and other problems. See “Specifications” (Page 7)
and “Coolant” (Page 8).
CONTROL CONSOLE COMPONENTS
The components of a water-cooled generator control
console (Figure 8) are as follows:
Belt Tension
Check the engine fan belt tension and condition prior to
placing the unit into service and at recommended
intervals. Belt tension is correct when a force of approx-
imately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied midway between
pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8-inch
(10 to 16 mm).
Figure 8 - Water-Cooled Generator Panel
Electrical System
Make sure the generator is properly connected to an
approved earth ground and/or ground rod.
Make sure the generator battery is fully charged, proper-
ly installed and interconnected, and ready for use.
Check to ensure that there are no loose electrical con-
nections. Restrain any loose wires to keep them clear of
any moving generator set components.

3600 rpm. Frequency reading with no electrical loads
connected (no-load condition) should be between 59-61
Hertz.
Fuse protects the control console’s DC control circuit
against electrical overload. If the fuse has melted open
because of an overload, engine cranking and startup
cannot occur. Should you need to replace the fuse, use
only an identical 30-amp replacement fuse. (Type AGC)
7.5 AMP INLINE FUSE:
DC VOLTMETER:
A 7.5 Amp inline fuse has been added to the wire har-
ness of all units starting in the second half of 2001. This
inline fuse is connected in the 15A line that runs
between the Auto/Off/Manual switch and position 10 of
the 76009A PCB. This fuse protects the start, fuel, field
boost, and transfer outputs from the PCB and will open
if there is excessive current draw on any one of these
outputs.
The generator is equipped with a belt-driven DC
alternator, which maintains battery state of charge when
the engine operates. The Control Module Assembly also
incorporates a trickle charge circuit which maintains
battery state of charge during non-operating periods.
Battery voltage should read about 12.5 to 14.5 volts DC.
A
low battery voltage indicates the battery is
discharging.
NOTE:
This fuse will not remove the + battery input
power from the PCB when it opens. This means the
exercise timer will not be reset. If this fuse does
open, carefully check the wiring to the start, fuel,
field boost and transfer outputs before replacing
the fuse.
HOURMETER:
Indicates time the engine-generator has operated, in
hours and tenths of hours. Use the hourmeter along
with the periodic maintenance schedule for your gener-
ator set.
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL SWITCH:
Use this 3-position switch as follows:
METER READING SELECTOR SWITCH:
Switch permits you to select either line-to-line or
line-to-neutral voltage and amperage readings on the
console AC voltmeter and AC ammeter.
• Set the switch to “Auto” for fully automatic operation.
See “Automatic Operation”.
• Set switch to “Manual” position to crank and start the

6.Remove OIL FILL CAP (Figure 11, page 15). Add • DO NOT use jumper cables and a booster battery to
recommended oil (see SPECIFICATIONS). DO NOT
FILL ABOVE THE DIPSTICK “FULL” MARK.
Crankcase oil capacity is 4.0 U.S. quarts (3.8 liters)
crank or start the generator engine.
• DO NOT recharge a weak battery while it is installed
in the generator. Remove battery from generator and
recharge in a well-ventilated area, away from fuel
vapors, sparks, heat or flames.
• Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic
sulfuric solution that can cause severe burns. DO
NOT permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,
painted surfaces, wiring insulation, etc. If you spill
any battery fluid, flush the affected area with clear
water immediately.
CAUTION: After refilling the crankcase with oil,
always check oil level on dipstick. NEVER
OPERATE ENGINE WITH OIL BELOW THE DIP-
STICK “ADD” MARK.
7.Start engine and check for oil leaks.
COOLANT CHANGE
Every year, have Authorized Service Facility drain, flush
and refill the cooling system. See SPECIFICATIONS
(page 8) for cooling system recommendations.
• Always wear safety glasses, rubber apron and gloves
when handling a battery.
• Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas while
charging. The gas can form an explosive mixture
around the battery for several hours after charging.
Any spark, heat or flames can ignite the gas and
cause an explosion which can shatter the battery,
causing blindness or other serious injury.
MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Keep your generator as clean and as dry as possible.
Dirt and moisture that accumulates on internal genera-
tor windings have an adverse effect on insulation resist-
ance.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Generac uses these different types of vented batteries on
units ranging up to 400 kW. When replacing batteries,
use the same number and the type of battery that
follows:
Periodically clean generator exterior surfaces. A soft
brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt. You can use
a vacuum system or dry, low pressure air to remove any
accumulations of dirt. The generator is housed inside
an all-weather enclosure, clean the enclosure with a
soft, damp cloth or sponge and water.
Generac P/N
BCI Group No.
CCA
700 @ 0 deg. F
058665
27F
Note:
Once each year have the generator cleaned and inspect-
ed by an Authorized Service Facility. That facility will
use dry, low pressure air to clean internal windings.
Parts inside the control console should be cleaned and
inspected at this time as well.
The BCI number should be located directly
on the battery.
Finally, have the insulation resistance of stator and
rotor windings checked. If insulation resistances are
excessively low, the generator may require drying.
BATTERY
All lead-acid storage batteries discharge when not in
use. Refer to specific instructions and warnings that
accompany your battery. If such information is not
available, observe the following precautions when
handling a battery:

Section 6 — Scheduled Maintenance
Guardian Liquid-cooled 10 kW, 15 kW, 20 kW and 25 kW Generators
Following is a recommended maintenance schedule for Generac small standby and residential generator sets from
8 kW to 35 kW in size, and applies to both diesel engine and gas engine driven units. The established intervals in
the schedule are the maximum recommended when the unit is used in an average service application. They will
need to be decreased (performed more frequently) if the unit is used in a severe application. Use the unit hour
meter or calendar time, whichever occurs first, from the previous maintenance interval to determine the next
required maintenance interval.
Service Maintenance Interval Information:
The various service maintenance intervals are designated by interval numbers as follows:
1 An early inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate when required and to identify any poten-
tial problem areas.

the engine from starting automatically without warning:
To prevent injury, perform the following steps in the order indicated before starting any maintenance:
•
Disable the generator set from starting and/or connecting to the load by setting the control panel
Auto-Off-Manual switch to the “OFF” position.
Remove the control panel fuse.
Turn off the battery charger.
Remove the negative battery cable.
•
•
•
The battery charger must be turned off BEFORE removing the battery cable to prevent an over current condition
from burning out sensitive control panel components and circuits.
Following all maintenance, reverse these steps to insure the unit is returned to standby setup for normal
operation when required.
2 A break-in service inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when
required, and to identify any potential problem areas.

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 modifi-
cation 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 presenting your engine to a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a prob-
lem 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 impor-
tant 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 serv-
ice, 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 the fol-
lowing address:

Section 10 – Warranty
Guardian Liquid-cooled 10 kW, 15 kW, 20 kW and 25 kW Generators
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 con-
tinue 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 war-
ranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine man-
ufacturer’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 responsi-
ble 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.

GENERAC’S STANDARD ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY FOR STANDBY POWER SYSTEMS
For a period of one year or 1,500 hours of operation from the date of original sale, whichever occurs first, Generac Power
Systems, Inc. (Generac) will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination by Generac or a
Generac/Guardian Authorized Warranty Service Facility, is found to be defective under normal use and service, in accordance
with the warranty schedule set forth below. Any equipment that the purchaser/owner claims to be defective must be returned

Service
Facility.
All transportation costs under the warranty, including return to the factory, are to be borne and prepaid by the

Service Dealer or branch thereof.
WARRANTY SCHEDULE
YEAR ONE – 100 percent coverage on mileage*, labor and parts listed:
• Engine – All components
• Alternator – All components
• Transfer System – All components
*Travel allowance is limited to 300 miles or 7.5 hours, whichever occurs first, and applies only to permanently wired and
mounted units.
All warranty expense allowances are subject to the conditions defined in Generac’s Warranty Policies, Procedures and Flat
Rate Manual.
Units that have been resold are not covered under the Generac warranty, as this warranty is not transferable.
THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Costs of normal maintenance, adjustments, installation and start-up.
2. Units sold, rated or used for “Prime Power” applications as Prime Power has been defined by Generac. Contact a dis-
tributor for Prime Power definition and warranty.

4. Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.
5. Any incidental, consequential or indirect damages caused by defects in materials or workmanship, or any delay in repair
or replacement of the defective parts.

warranty.
9. Rental equipment used while warranty repairs are being performed.
10. Overtime labor.
11. Starting batteries, fuses, light bulbs and engine fluids.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC MAKES
NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
GENERAC’S ONLY LIABILITY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AS STATED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT
SHALL GENERAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE
A DIRECT RESULT OF GENERAC’S NEGLIGENCE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Purchaser/owner agrees to make no claims against
Generac based on negligence.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also may have other rights that vary from state to state.
