WARNING:  
This product contains or emits chemicals  
known to the state of California to cause  
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing,  
operating or servicing this equipm ent. Becom e fam iliar  
with this Ow ners Ma nua l and with the unit. The gen-  
erator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably only if  
it is properly installed, operated and m aintained. Many  
accidents are caused by failing to follow sim ple and fun-  
dam ental rules or precautions.  
Generac cannot possibly anticipate every possible  
circum stance that m ight involve a hazard. The warn-  
ings in this m anual, and on tags and d ecals  
affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you  
use a procedure, work m ethod or operating technique  
Generac does not specifically recom m end, you m ust  
satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You  
also m ust m ake sure the procedure, work m ethod or  
operating technique that is chosen does not render the  
generator unsafe.  
• The engine exhaust fum es contain carbon m onoxide,  
which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if  
breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause  
unconsciousness or even death. For that reason, ade-  
quate ventilation m ust be provided. Exhaust gases  
m ust be piped safely away from any building or  
enclosure that houses the generator to an area where  
people, anim als, etc., will not be harm ed. This  
exhaust system m ust be installed properly, in strict  
com pliance with applicable codes and standards.  
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts,  
fans, and other m oving or hot parts. Never rem ove  
any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.  
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating  
air is critical in any room or building housing the gen-  
erator to prevent buildup of explosive gases and to  
ensure correct generator operation. Do not alter the  
installation or perm it even partial blockage of ventila-  
tion provisions, as this can seriously affect safe oper-  
ation of the generator.  
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 operate or maintain this equip-  
ment.  
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these  
machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the  
machine safe before attempting to w ork on the  
generator.  
• Keep the area around the generator clean and unclut-  
tered. Rem ove any m aterials that could becom e haz-  
ardous.  
• When working on this equipm ent, rem ain alert at all  
tim es. Never work on the equipm ent when you are  
physically or m entally fatigued.  
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot  
during operation. Exercise care near running gen-  
erators.

Important Safety Instructions  
Guardian Liquid-cooled 40 kW Generator  
• Inspect the generator regularly, and prom ptly repair • Generators installed with an autom atically transfer  
or replace all worn, dam aged or defective parts using  
only factory-approved parts.  
• Before perform ing any m aintenance on the generator,  
disconnect its battery cables to prevent accidental  
start-up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post  
ind icated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) fir st.  
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  
m ay result in dangerous operating conditions from  
leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.  
switch will crank and start autom atically when nor-  
m al (utility) source voltage is rem oved or is below an  
acceptable preset level. To prevent such autom atic  
start-up and possible injury to personnel, disable the  
generators autom atic 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.  
• In case of accident caused by electric shock, im m edi-  
ately shut down the source of electrical power. If this  
is not possible, attem pt to free the victim from the  
live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH  
THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting im plem ent, such  
as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live  
conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid  
and get im m ediate m edical help.  
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equipm ent.  
J ewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric  
shock, or m ay get caught in m oving com ponents  
causing injury.  
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS  
• All generators covered by this m anual produce dan-  
gerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electri-  
cal shock. Utility power delivers extrem ely high and  
dangerous voltages to the transfer switch as does the  
standby generator when it is in operation. Avoid con-  
tact with bare wires, term inals, connections, etc.,  
while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate cov-  
ers, guards and barriers are in place before operating  
the generator. If work m ust be done around an oper-  
ating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to  
reduce shock hazard.  
FIRE HAZARDS  
• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all  
tim es. DO NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type  
extinguisher. Its fum es are toxic, and the liquid can  
deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extinguisher  
properly charged and be fam iliar with its use. If there  
are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers,  
consult the local fire departm ent.  
• 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 m ust stand on m etal or concrete while  
installing, operating, servicing, adjusting or repairing  
this equipm ent, place insulative m ats over a dry  
wooden platform . Work on the equipm ent only while  
standing on such insulative m ats.  
• The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the  
fram e and external electrically conductive 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 m ight be  
caused by a ground fault condition in the generator  
set or by static electricity. Never disconnect the  
ground wire.  
• Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables and cord  
sets m ust be adequate to handle the m axim um elec-  
trical current (am pacity) to which they will be sub-  
jected to.  
• Before installing or servicing this (and related) equip-  
m ent, m ake 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 norm ally  
supplied by an electric utility shall be by m eans of a  
transfer switch so as to isolate the genrator electric  
system from the utility electric system while in oper-  
ation. Failure to isolate the two electric system power  
sources from each other by such m eans will result in  
dam age to the generator and m ay also result in injury  
or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of  
electrical energy.  
EXPLOSION HAZARDS  
• Properly ventilate any room or building housing the  
generator to prevent build-up of explosive gas.  
• Do not sm oke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel  
or oil spills im m ediately. Ensure that no com bustible  
m aterials are left in the generator com partm ent, or  
on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION  
m ay result. Keep the area surrounding the generator  
clean and free from debris.  
• Generac generator sets m ay operate using one of sev-  
eral types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially  
FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be  
handled with care. Com ply with all laws regulating  
the storage and handling of fuels. Inspect the units  
fuel system frequently and correct any leaks im m e-  
diately. Fuel supply lines m ust be properly installed,  
purged and leak tested according to applicable fuel-  
gas codes before placing this equipm ent into service.  
• Diesel fuels are highly FLAMMABLE. Gaseous fluids  
such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) gas are  
extrem ely EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas is lighter than  
air, and LP gas is heavier than air; install leak detec-  
tors accordingly.

1.1 UNPACKING/ INSPECTION  
1.2 THE GENERATOR  
After unpack ing, car efully inspect the contents This liquid-cooled, Guardian generator set is designed  
for dam age.  
to supply electrical power to operate critical electrical  
loads during utility power failure. Use this generator as  
a source of electrical power for the operation of 120  
and/or 240-volt, single-phase loads.  
• This standby generator set has been factory installed  
in an all-weather, m etal enclosure that is intended  
exclusively for outdoor installation.  
1.3 GENERATOR AC  
CONNECTION SYSTEMS  
If this generator is used to pow er electrical load  
circuits normally pow ered by a utility pow er  
source, code requires to install a transfer sw itch.  
The transfer sw itch must effectively isolate the  
electrical system from the utility distribution sys-  
tem w hen the generator is operating (NEC 701).  
Failure to isolate an electrical system by such  
means w ill result in damage to the generator and  
also may result in injury or death to utility pow er  
w orkers due to backfeed of electrical energy.  
Figure 1.1 represents a single-phase, four-wire genera-  
tor AC connection system . The stator assem bly in this  
system consists of a pair of stationary windings with  
two leads brought out of each winding. Each single  
winding can supply a 120-volt, 60-Hertz AC output.  
When the two windings are connected in series, a 240-  
volt, 60-Hertz AC output results. Typically, the two hot”  
leads in the circuit are Wires 11 and 44. The neutral  
leads are the junction of Wires 22 and 33.  
If any loss or dam age is noted at tim e of delivery, have  
the person(s) m aking the delivery note all dam age on  
the freight bill or affix his or her signature under the  
consignor's m em o of loss or dam age.  
Figure 1.1 – Single-phase  
Generator AC Connection System  
If there is loss or dam age after delivery, separate the  
dam aged m aterials and contact the carrier for claim  
procedures.  
“Concealed dam age” is understood to m ean dam age to  
the contents of a package that is not in evidence at the  
tim e of delivery, but is discovered later.  
Neutral Block  
1.1.1 LIFTING THE GENERATOR  
1.4 AUTOMATIC SYSTEM OPERATION  
When this generator, along with its transfer switch, has  
been installed and interconnected, a circuit board in the  
generator panel continuously monitors utility power  
source voltage. Should that voltage drop below a preset  
value, and remain at such a low state for a preset amount  
of time, the generator cranks and starts. After the gener-  
ator starts, the transfer switch transfers load circuits so  
the generator can power them.  
When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be  
careful not to touch overhead pow er lines.  
The generators w eight of more than 2,000  
pounds requires proper tools and equipment, and  
qualified personnel to be used in all phases of  
handling and unpacking.  
!
When utility source voltage has been restored, the  
switch transfers back to the utility source voltage, and  
the generator then shuts down after a brief cool-down  
tim e.

1.6.3 LOW COOLANT LEVEL SWITCH  
1.5 MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER  
The generators main circuit breaker is included with the  
unit as shipped from the factory. The breaker for each  
unit is described as follows:  
Should the engine coolant level drop below the level of the  
high coolant temperature switch, it is possible for the  
engine to overheat without automatic shut down. To pre-  
vent 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 1.2).

004373-1  
Circuit Breaker Rating  
200-amp breaker  
200-amp breaker  
004626-0  
1.6 ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES  
The engine has several safety switches that cause  
it to automatically shut down under the following condi-  
tions: low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low  
coolant level, engine overspeed and overcrank.  
1.6.4 OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN  
The control m odule assem bly (CMA) circuit board on  
liquid-cooled units receives AC frequency (rpm ) signals  
directly from the stator AC power windings. Should AC  
frequency exceed approxim ately 72 Hertz, circuit board  
action will autom atically shut down the engine.  
1.6.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH  
This switch is normally closed (N.C.) but is held open by  
engine oil pressure during engine running. Should oper-  
ating oil pressure drop below approximately 10 psi (68  
kPa), the switch contacts close, and the engine shuts down  
automatically (Figure 1.2).  
1.6.5 OVERCRANK SHUTDOWN  
After 90 seconds of crank-rest cycles (about seven sec-  
onds cranking/seven seconds at rest), this function ends  
cranking if the engine fails to start in that 90-second  
span.  
Figure 1.2 – Engine Protective Devices  
1.6.6 DC FUSE  
This fuse is located on the front panel of the control sys-  
tem . It protects the panel wiring and com ponents from  
dam aging overload. Always rem ove this fuse before  
com m encing work on the generator. The unit will not  
start or crank if the fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with  
one of the sam e size, type, and rating. Generac uses an  
AGC fuse rated at 15 am ps.

*Rated power of generator is subject to and limited by such factors as ambient tempera-  
ture, altitude, engine condition and other factors. Engine power will decrease about 3.5  
percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level; and also will decrease an additional 1 percent  
for each 6° C (10° F) above 15.5° C (60° F) ambient. Maximum output power of the gener-  
ator is limited by maximum engine power.

Fuel pressure for both natural gas and liquid propane  
setups should be 11 inches to 14 inches of water colum n  
(0.6 psi) at all load ranges.  
Gaseous fuels such as natural gas and liquid  
propane (LP) gas are highly explosive. Even the  
slightest spark can ignite such fuels and cause an  
explosion. No leakage of fuel is permitted. Natural  
gas, w hich is lighter than air, tends to collect in  
high areas; LP gas is heavier than air and tends to  
settle in low areas – install leak detectors accord-  
ingly.

noid valve and gas regulator. These item s are not sub-  
ject to periodic m aintenance or adjustm ent.  
1.9 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 or SF. Detergent oils keep the  
engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. Use oil hav-  
ing the following SAE viscosity rating, based on the  
am bient tem perature range anticipated before the next  
oil change:  
This m odel is of a size (greater than 50 brakehorse-  
power) that m ay require a review by air perm itting  
authorities prior to installation and operation. Consult  
the local air m anagem ent district for details and specif-  
ic requirem ents.

1.10 COOLANT  
Use a m ixture of half low silicate, ethylene glycol base  
antifreeze and half soft water. Use only soft water and  
only low silicate antifreeze. If desired, add a high qual-  
ity rust inhibitor to the recom m ended coolant m ixture.  
When adding coolant, always add the recom m ended 50-  
50 m ixture.  
Do not remove the radiator pressure cap w hile the  
engine is hot or serious burns from boiling liquid or  
steam could result.  
AIR FUEL RATIO CONTROLLER  
The air fuel ratio controller is an advanced m icro-  
processor designed to work with a three-way catalyst  
and a feedback (rich bias) carburetor to provide close-  
loop fuel m anagem ent. Its digital adaptive control is  
able to com pensate for variations in fuel m ixtures and  
engine tunes. It is tim e based activated. (For exam ple, it  
will activate after 45 seconds from receiving the power  
signal.) The part num ber for the air fuel ratio controller  
is 0D4221.  
Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous. Do not  
use mouth to siphon coolant from the radiator, recov-  
ery bottle or any container. Wash hands thoroughly  
after handling. Never store used antifreeze in an  
open container because animals are atracted to the  
smell and taste of antifreeze even though it is poison-  
ous to them.  
Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor w ith eth-  
ylene glycol base antifreeze, or chromium hydroxide  
(“green slime”) w ill form and cause overheating.  
Engines that have been operated w ith a chromate  
base rust inhibitor must be chemically cleaned before  
adding ethylene glycol base antifreeze. Using any  
high silicate antifreeze boosters or additives also w ill  
cause overheating. Generac also  
Principle of Operation: The oxygen sensor, installed on  
the exhaust pipe, between the engine and the catalytic  
m uffler (closer to the engine), continuously m onitors  
the exhaust gas com position. A feedback signal is sent  
from the oxygen sensor to the air fuel ratio controller,  
which controls the fuel system to m aintain the optim al,  
stoichiom etric air fuel ratio. The air fuel m ixture to the  
engine is controlled by biasing the diaphragm in the fuel  
regulator using vacuum (from the carburetor). This  
vacuum signal is directed to the fuel regulator via the  
control valve. The air fuel ratio controller determ ines  
the am ount of vacuum signal sent to the fuel regulator.  
The m ore vacuum sent to the regulator, the m ore  
restricted the fuel flow will be, therefore the leaner the  
air fuel m ixture.  
recommends that any soluble oil inhibitor NOT be  
used for this equipment.

Guardian Liquid-cooled 40 kW Generator  
Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System  
Do not connect the ground w ire 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.  
Figure 2.2 – Generator Grounding Lug (typical)  
2.2 EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION  
METHOD  
This prevents overloading the generator by keeping elec-  
trical loads below the wattage/am perage capacity of the  
generator. If the generator is powering only critical  
loads, within its wattage/am perage capacity, during util-  
ity power outages, consider using the em ergency circuit  
isolation m ethod.  
Critical electrical loads are grouped together and wired  
into a separate Em ergency Distribution Panel.” Load  
cir cuits power ed by that panel ar e within the  
wattage/am perage capacity of the generator set. When  
this m ethod is used, it is difficult to overload the gener-  
ator. The transfer switch m ust m eet the following  
requirem ents:  
2.5 GENERATOR AC NEUTRAL  
CONNECTIONS  
Generac uses an UNGROUNDED AC neutral. Grounding  
is recommended only at the main service entrance.  
• It m ust have an am pere rating equal to or greater  
than the total am perage rating of the em ergency dis-  
tribution panel circuit.  
• It must be installed between the buildings main distri-  
bution panel and the emergency distribution panel.  
2.6 TRANSFER SWITCH START SIGNAL  
CONNECTIONS  
2.6.1 GTSType Switch  
2.3 TOTAL CIRCUIT ISOLATION METHOD  
When a generator capable of powering all electrical  
loads in the circuit is to be installed, use the Total  
Circuit Isolation Method.” It is possible for the genera-  
tor to be overloaded when this isolation m ethod is  
em ployed. The following apply to the transfer switch in  
this type of system .  
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 lower panel.  
Match wires 178 and 183 in the transfer switch to 178  
and 183 on the terminal strip in the control panel. The  
conductors for the two-wire start circuit must be in their  
own conduit.  
• Am pere rating of the transfer switch m ust be equal to  
or greater than the am pere rating of the norm al  
incom ing utility service.  
2.6.2 Pre-Packaged Type Switch  
• The transfer switch m ust be installed between the  
utility service entrance and the building distribution  
panel.  
Connect the six signal wires from the autom atic trans-  
fer switch to the engine generator control, which is  
located on the upper right side and inside the lower  
control panel. Match wires 23, 194, N1, N2, T1 and T2  
in the transfer switch to the corresponding wires on the  
term inal strip in the lower panel. The conductors for  
these wires m ust be in seperate conduit from the m ain  
AC output wires.  
2.4 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR  
The National Electrical Code requires the fram e and  
external electrically conductive parts of this equipm ent  
to be properly connected to an approved earth ground  
and/or grounding rods. For that purpose, a GROUND  
LUG (Figure 2.2) is provided on the generator m ounting  
base. Consult a qualified electrician for grounding  
requirem ents in your area. Grounding procedures m ust  
m eet local regulations.

tion, and  
2.7 BATTERY INSTALLATION  
• Spilled electrolyte is to be w ashed dow n w ith 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 w ater. The bicarbonate  
of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of  
reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is  
to be flushed w ith w ater and the area dried.  
Standby generators installed w ith automatic trans-  
fer sw itches w ill crank and start automatically  
w hen 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 the  
normal source voltage at the transfer sw itch is cor-  
rect and the system is ready to be placed into  
operation.  
!
Lead acid batteries present a risk of fire because  
they generate hydrogen gas. The follow ing proce-  
dures are to be follow ed:  
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 an  
explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the bat-  
tery and cause blindness or other injury. Any area  
that houses a storage battery must be properly  
ventilated. Do not allow smoking, open flame,  
sparks or any spark producing tools or equipment  
near the battery.  
• DO NOT SMOKE w hen 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.  
Servicing of batteries is to be perform ed or supervised  
by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the  
required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel  
away from batteries.  
For recom m ended batteries, see Battery Maintenance”  
page 16. All batteries m ust 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 w hen handling a  
battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the affected area  
immediately w ith clear w ater.  
!
!
!
When using m aintenance-free batteries, it is not neces-  
sary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level.  
Have these procedures perform ed at the intervals spec-  
ified in Section 4, “Maintenance.” A negative ground sys-  
tem is used. Battery connections are shown on the  
wiring diagram s. Make sure all batteries are correctly  
connected and term inals 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:  
Dam age will result if th e battery con n ection s are  
reversed.  
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released  
electrolyte can be toxic and harmful to the skin  
and eyes.  
The battery represents a risk of high short circuit  
current. When w orking on the battery, alw ays

2.8.1 PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP  
2.8.6 Belt Tension  
Check the engine fan belt tension and condition prior to  
placing the unit into service and at recom m ended  
intervals. Belt tension is correct when a force of approx-  
im ately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied m idway between  
pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8-inch (10 to 16  
m m ).  
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 w ith the recommended types and quanti-  
ties of engine fluids (oil, coolant, fuel, etc.) may  
result in an engine failure.  
!
2.8.7 Electrical System  
Make sure the generator is properly connected to an  
approved earth ground and/or ground rod.  
Before starting the generator for the first tim e, the  
installer m ust com plete the following procedures. For  
follow-up m aintenance inform ation and/or service inter-  
vals, please refer to Section 4, Maintenance.”  
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 m oving generator set com ponents.  
2.8.2 Transfer Switch  
If this generator is used to supply power to any electri-  
cal system norm ally 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 system s. (For  
additional inform ation, see the applicable transfer  
switch m anual for this unit.) The transfer switch, as  
well as the generator and other standby com ponents,  
m ust be properly located and m ounted in strict com pli-  
ance with applicable codes, standards and regulations.  
2.8.8 Rodent Protection  
Make sure the four 3-inch diam eter cap plugs (part #  
0A8785) are properly installed in the tie-down holes in  
the side rails of the units base fram e (Figure 2.3). The  
cap plugs are shipped in a plastic bag located in the  
lower connection box. These plugs are needed to pre-  
vent rodents from accessing the interior of the genera-  
tor set. On acoustic units, cap plugs also are needed to  
stay within noise specification lim its.  
2.8.3 Fuel System  
Make sure the fuel supply system to the generator (a)  
delivers the correct fuel at the correct pressure and (b)  
is pr oper ly pur ged and leak tested accor d ing

3.1.9 7.5 AMP INLINE FUSE (NOT SHOWN)  
3.1.1 AC VOLTMETER  
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 voltm eter displays generator AC output voltage dur-  
ing operation. Voltage is regulated by a solid-state volt-  
age regulator and is proportional to AC frequency. Refer  
to the units DATA PLATE for rated AC voltage.  
3.1.2 AC AMMETER  
This indicates current draw of connected electrical  
loads during operation. DO NOT EXCEED THE UNITS  
RATED MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS CURRENT. Refer to  
the unit DATA PLATE.  
3.1.10 VOLTAGE-PHASE SELECTOR SWITCH  
This switch perm its selection between either line-to-line  
or line-to-neutral voltage and am perage readings on the  
console AC voltm eter and AC am m eter.  
3.1.3 AC FREQUENCY METER  
3.1.11 SET EXERCISE TIME SWITCH  
This indicates generator AC output frequency in Hertz  
(cycles per second). Frequency is proportional to engine  
speed. Units with a four-pole rotor, supply 60 Hertz at  
1,800 rpm . The frequency reading with no electrical  
loads connected (no-load condition) should be between  
60-62 Hertz.  
This switch allows to program the generator to start and  
exercise autom atically. (See Section 3.6, page 14)  
3.2 USING THE AUTO/ OFF/ MANUAL  
SWITCH  
3.1.4 DC VOLTMETER  
3.2.1 AUTOPOSITION  
The generator is equipped with a belt-driven DC alter-  
nator, which m aintains battery state of charge when the  
engine operates. The control m odule assem bly (CMA)  
also incorporates a trickle charge circuit that m aintains  
battery state of charge during nonoperating periods.  
Battery voltage should read approxim ately12.5 to 14.5  
volts DC. A low battery voltage indicates the battery is  
discharging.  
Selecting this switch position activates fully autom atic  
system operation. It also allows the unit to start and  
exercise the engine every seven days with the setting of  
the exercise tim er.  
3.1.5 HOURMETER

Section 3 Operation  
Guardian Liquid-cooled 40 kW Generator  
Upon restoration of utility source voltage above a preset  
level, generator circuit board action signals the transfer  
switch to transfer loads back to that power supply. After  
retransfer, the engine is signalled to shut down.  
3.2.2 OFFPOSITION  
This switch position shuts down the engine. This posi-  
tion also prevents operation.  
The actual sequence of operation is controlled by  
sensors and tim ers on a control logic circuit board, as  
follows:  
3.2.3 MANUALPOSITION  
Set the switch to Manual to crank and start the engine.  
Transfer to standby power will not autom atically occur  
unless there is a utility failure.  
A. Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor  
• This sensor m onitors utility source voltage.  
• If utility source voltage drops below about 60 per-  
cent of the nom inal supply voltage, the sensor ener-  
gizes a 15-second tim er.  
• Once the tim er has expired, the engine will crank  
and start.  
With the sw itch set to AUTO, the engine may  
!
crank and start at any time w ithout w arning.  
Such automatic starting normally occurs w hen  
utility pow er source voltage drops below a preset  
level or during the normal exercise cycle. To pre-  
vent possible injury that might be caused by such  
sudden starts, alw ays set the sw itch to OFF and  
remove the fuse before w orking on or around the  
generator or transfer sw itch. Then, place a “Do  
Not Operate” tag on the generator panel and on  
the transfer sw itch.  
B. Engine Warm -up Tim e Delay  
• This m echanism lets the engine warm up for about  
10 seconds before the load is transferred to a stand-  
by source.  
C. Standby Voltage Sensor  
• This sensor m onitors generator AC output voltage.  
When the voltage has reached 50 percent of the  
nom inal rated voltage, transfer to standby can  
occur.  
3.3 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OPERATION  
D.Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor  
• This sensor m onitors utility power supply voltage.  
When that voltage is restored above 80 percent of  
the nom inal source voltage, a retransfer tim e delay  
starts tim ing.  
To select autom atic operation, do the following:  
1. Make sure the transfer switch m ain contacts are set

utility power source.  
E.Retransfer Tim e Delay  
2. Be sure that normal utility power source voltage is  
available to transfer switch terminal lugs N1 and N2.  
3. Set the generators Auto/Off/Manual switch to AUTO.  
4. Set the generators m ain circuit breaker to its ON  
(or closed) position.  
• This tim er runs for about 15 seconds.  
• At end of a 15-second delay, circuit board action de-  
energizes transfer relay in the transfer switch.  
• Retransfer to utility power source then occurs.  
F. Engine Cool-down Tim er  
With the preceding steps com plete, the generator will  
start autom atically when utility source voltage drops  
below a preset level. After the unit starts, loads are  
transferred to the standby power source. Refer to  
Sequence of Autom atic Operation.”  
• When the load is transferred back to utility power  
source, the engine cool-down tim er starts tim ing.  
• The tim er will run for about one m inute, and the  
generator will then shut down.  
3.5 ENGINE HEATER  
3.4 SEQUENCE OF AUTOMATIC OPERATION  
This Generac standby generator com es equipped with a  
block heater (Figure 3.2, page 14) that is sim ilar to the  
block heaters used in autom otive applications.  
The generators control panel houses a control logic cir-  
cuit board. This board constantly m onitors utility  
power source voltage. Should that voltage drop below a  
preset level, circuit board action will signal the engine to  
crank and start. After the engine starts, the circuit  
board signals the transfer switch to activate and connect  
load circuits to the standby power supply (load term inal  
lugs T1/T2 connect to term inal lugs E1/E2).

the battery for several hours after charging. The  
slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an  
explosion. Such an explosion can shatter the bat-  
tery and cause blindness or other injury. Any area  
that houses a storage battery must be properly  
ventilated. Do not allow smoking, open flame,  
sparks or any spark producing tools or equipment  
near the battery.  
Reset the spark plug gap or replace the spark plugs as  
necessary. See Section 4.12, Page 19.  
1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs to  
keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean the  
plugs by scraping using a wire brush. Do not blast”  
the spark plugs to clean.  
2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition.  
Replace the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is ques-  
tionable. See the Service Schedule,” Section 4.12,  
Page 19, for recommended inspection.  
3. Check the spark plug gap using a feeler gauge.  
Adjust the gap to 0.045 inch (1.1 m m ) by carefully  
bending the ground electrode (Figure 4.4).  
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 w hen handling a  
battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the affected area  
immediately w ith clear w ater.

Figure 4.4 – Location of 15-amp Fuse  
4.6 COOLING SYSTEM  
Air intake and outlet openings in the generator compart-  
ment must be open and unobstructed for continued prop-  
er operation. This includes such obstructions as high  
grass, weeds, brush, leaves and snow.  
Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the  
engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it to  
shut down.  
The exhaust system of this product gets extremely  
hot and remains hot after shutdow n. High grass,  
w eeds, brush, leaves, etc. must remain clear of the  
exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn from  
the heat of the exhaust system.

4.7 OVERLOAD PROTECTION FOR ENGINE DC  
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM  
4.9 ENGINE COOLANT  
Engine cranking, start-up and running are controlled by  
a solid-state engine controller circuit board. Battery  
voltage is delivered to that circuit board via a 15-am p  
fuse. These overcurrent protection devices will open if  
the circuit is overloaded.  
Check the coolant level in the coolant recovery bottle.  
• Ad d the r ecom m end ed coolant m ixtur e as  
necessary. See Section 1.10 on Page 7.  
• Periodically remove the radiator pressure cap to make  
sure the coolant recovery system is functioning  
properly. Coolant should be at the bottom of the radia-  
tor filler neck. If the coolant level is low, inspect the  
gasket in the radiator pressure cap. Replace the cap, if  
necessary. To have the pressure cap tested, contact a  
Generac/Guardian Authorized Dealer. Inspect the cool-  
ing system and coolant recovery system for leaks.  
If a circuit breaker opens or a fuse element melts,  
you should find the cause of the overload before  
resetting the circuit breaker or replacing the fuse.  
4.8 DC FUSE  
4.10 MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE  
The generator panels 15-am p AGC fuse (Figure 4.4) pro-  
tects the DC control circuit against overload. The fuse is  
wired in series with the battery output lead to the panel.  
If the fuse elem ent has m elted open, cranking or starting  
the engine cannot occur. Replace the fuse using only an  
identical 15-am p AGC replacem ent.  
4.10.1 Cleaning the Generator  
Keep the generator as clean and as dry as possible. Dirt  
and m oisture that accum ulate on internal generator  
windings have an adverse effect on insulation resist-  
ance.  
Periodically, clean the generators exterior surfaces.  
A
soft brush m ay be used to loosen caked on dirt. Use a  
vacuum system or dry, low pressure air to rem ove any  
accum ulations of dirt. The generator is housed inside  
an all-weather enclosure; clean the enclosure with a  
soft, dam p cloth or sponge and water.  
Once each year, have the generator cleaned and inspect-  
ed by a Generac/Guardian Authorized Dealer. Service  
technicians will use dry, low pressure air to clean inter-  
nal windings. Parts inside the control console should be  
cleaned and inspected at this tim e as well.  
Finally, have the insulation resistance of stator and rotor  
windings checked. If insulation resistances are excessive-  
ly low, the generator may require drying.

6. Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity  
and classification of the oil in the crankcase.  
7. Rem ove the spark plug(s) and spray fogging agent  
into the spark plug(s) threaded openings. Reinstall  
and tighten the spark plug(s).  
8. Rem ove the battery and store it in a cool, dry room  
on a wooden board. Never store the battery on any  
concrete or earthen floor.  
4.10.2 Rodent Protection  
The intrusion of rodents into the generator set can  
cause a wide range of problem s, from failure of the unit  
to start, to personal injury and, in extrem e circum -  
stances, short circuit or fire. Although the unit was  
designed to lim it this problem , further precautions can  
be taken by the owner to help m inim ize both the chance  
of rodent entry and the extent of any dam age. The fol-  
lowing inspection should be perform ed.  
9. Clean and wipe the entire generator.  
1. The base frame of the unit contains an optional fuel  
inlet location and four lifting holes that are capped at  
the factory. These caps are sometimes removed for  
transportation during installation but always should  
be replaced afterwards. Check that they are secured in  
place. The same applies for any access ports in the  
roof of the enclosure. If any of these caps are missing,  
contact a Generac/Guardian Authorized Dealer.  
2. Inside the generator set, the chance of rodent entry  
into the control panel is greatly reduced by the inclu-  
sion of adjustable wire connectors. Check that the  
wire connector screws are tight, thus closing off any  
gap between the access holes and the wires.  
4.11.2 Return To Service  
To return the unit to service after storage, proceed  
as follows:  
1. Verify that utility power is turned off to the transfer  
switch and that the Auto/Off/Manual switch is set to  
OFF.  
2. Check the tag on the engine for oil viscosity and  
classification. Verify that the correct recom m ended  
oil is used in engine. See Section 4.2.1 (Page 14). If  
necessary, drain and refill with the proper oil.  
3. Check the battery. Fill all cells to the proper level  
with distilled water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN  
THE BATTERY. Rem ove the battery before charging.  
Recharge the battery to 100 percent state of charge,  
or, if defective, replace the battery with a 12-volt DC  
Group 27F battery rated for 90 am p hours (part #  
058665).  
4.11 OUT OF SERVICE PROCEDURE  
4.11.1 Removal From Service  
If the generator cannot exercise every seven days, and it  
is to be out of service longer than 90 days, prepare the  
generator for storage as follows:
