SHIPPING ADDRESS REQUIREMENTS,to avoid the trucker's re-delivery charges:
--Transportation is included to the 48 contiguous states,to those locations normally served by tractor trailer or
flatbed via land only.Freight to your facility is included to the first or nearest drop-off point and also applies to
shipments going to off shore locations.Additional charges for shipping and handling after the first drop off point are
at the customer's expense. Unloading, rigging,storage,and installation are the responsibility of the customer and are
not included.
--Please supply the shipping address. If the delivery point is changed later,there will be a change-of-address charge
and possibly a re-delivery charge. If the generator cannot be unloaded at the time of delivery,there will be a re-
delivery charge.
--Installation Manuals.Genset Owner's Manuals are individually assembled to reflect the exact configuration of
each unit and are placed inside the generator enclosure prior to shipping.
Methods of unloading the delivery truck
The included prepaid standard shipping for most Generators is in an enclosed truck,such as a tractor trailer. The
Generators are loaded lengthwise and must be forked from the end. Unloading and rigging are the responsibility of
the customer.
--Loading Dock Unloading: Using a loading dock is usually the easiest way to unload the Generator. The loading
dock can belong to you,your contractor,your rigging company,or to a helpful local business. For Commercial
Gaseous Generators larger than 25 kW,Industrial Gaseous and Diesel Generators loaded in an enclosed truck, you
will need to supply a fork lift truck with fork extensions to unload the Generator because it will be loaded lengthwise.
--Parking Lot Unloading: If the shipping address is a parking lot,you will need to supply the unloading equipment
such as a fork lift truck with fork extensions,or lifting equipment that can get the Generator out of the enclosed
truck. .(Larger Generators will arrive on a flatbed trailer).
—Lifting Precautions: If you want to lift the Generator with your equipment,you will need straps and a spreader bar
to avoid deforming the sheet-metal housing.
—Liftgate Delivery: Gaseous Generators(powered by natural gas or propane) of 22 kW and smaller can be delivered
to your paved parking lot or driveway by a hydraulic liftgate on the back of a 53-foot tractor trailer IF the paving is an
easily accessible commercial location. There is no charge for this service,but"Liftgate Delivery"must be specified
on your PO. Liftgate Delivery is not available for diesel Generators or for Generators larger than 22 kW,and is always
subject to factory approval.
--Alternate Shipping by Flatbed Truck: When not required by the factory(for the largest generators),delivery by
open flatbed truck is usually available at extra cost,typically$1,000-$5,000(request a quote). "Flatbed delivery"
must be requested when you place your order,and is subject to factory approval.
Transwrap Services: An optional shrink wrap(similar to boat wrap)is recommended and available at extra cost
(non-Contract)for generators that are shipped on a Flatbed Truck exposed to the outside elements. This includes
most diesels as well as gaseous generators above 200kW. Protects from tarp damage, road salt,and grime--will
reduce unwarrantable damage during transportation. Also recommended if you are storing your generator for a
period of time prior to installation.

Contact Information:
--Please give us the phone number and name of the person for the trucker to call the day before delivery,to be sure
that your personnel are ready to receive the shipment. Include an email address for delivery status updates.

nearest drop-off point and applies also to shipments going to off shore locations.Additional charges for shipping and
handling after the first drop off point are at the customer's expense. Unloading,rigging,storage,and installation are
not included.
Startup. When the installation is complete,a technician visits the Iocation for several hours to verify that the
installation was done according to factory requirements,to test many parameters,to adjust them for best performance,
and to validate the Warranty.
Training.A factory-authorized technician will Train Staff by demonstrating the proper operation and maintenance of
the generator during the Startup visit. Staff learn by observing and asking questions of the technician during the
demonstration.
Unusually Quiet. Includes patent-pending"Quiet Test"feature,which reduces noise by lowering engine speed during
the generator's weekly self-test cycle. Comparable to a car at idle vs. on the highway,up to 50%quieter than when The
generator is operating under normal load,sound levels of only 54-66 dBA. Quiet even under normal load,because of
its acoustically designed engine cooling system,high-flow low-noise factory engineered exhaust system,and sound-
attenuated acoustically-designed enclosure. Natural Gas or Propane operation,clean-burning for fewer exhaust
emissions. Important note: "For Natural Gas users,please consult with your plumber and natural gas
supplier to ensure that the gas service, supply and pressure are adequate to support the generator."
22-48 kW arc always shipped for natural gas,field-convertible to propane. For 60-150 kW,specify propane, if
desired,at the time of order.

Please Note: It is Strongly Recommended that Installation of the Extreme Cold Weather Kit(included)should be
performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician as improper installation can inhibit proper generator function.
(May be performed by the Startup Company, upon request, at Extra Cost)
Two Line LCD Tri-lingual Digital NexusTm Controller for 22-150 kW generators: Full system monitoring
including LED indicators for safety shutdowns,fuel pressure and battery voltage. Integrated'transfer switch controller
for RTS transfer switch.
Starting Battery included for 70-150 kW,high-capacity,factory-installed.Not included, but available as an
Option for 22-60 kW *Excludes the 0T4842 which requires the Group 24F Battery.
"Customer is responsible to have the correct battery installed in the generator before the Startup visit."
The 24F Battery may be obtained from your local auto-parts store or the Startup Company.
Battery Charger, factory-installed dynamic and static. This uses utility power to keep the battery charged even when •
the generator is not running. Other generators depend on the generator's own alternator to charge it when the
generator is running, like your car battery. But unlike a car battery,the generator battery is constantly using power to
monitor its functions and readiness,so it is safer to keep the battery charge topped off with the separate charger.
Block Coolant Heater Kit(also known at an Extreme Cold Weather Kit) is included with all QT models.
Main Line Circuit Breaker,factory-installed and UL-Listed. This stops the wires from overheating before they can
cause a fire or other safety hazard,and is required to meet UL2200.
Outdoor Housing,weather-protective,sound-attenuated,lockable. Some kW are available with aluminum housings,
especially recommended for installations near salted roads and near salt-air coasts.
Superior Paint. Our textured,powder coat paint process provides consistent coverage and better bonding to seams
and exposed edges providing durability and a long-lasting,tough finish.
Gas Flex Hose is included,to protect the gas supply pipe from movement and vibration.
Closed Recovery Cooling System. This closed,pressurized system virtually eliminates the introduction of air into the
cooling system.Rust and fluid acidity are minimized,resulting in longer engine life.
Isochronous Governor. Constant speed control provides faster response to block loads and a more consistent output
frequency.
Vibration Isolation. Standard vibration isolators virtually eliminate transmission of vibration from the unit to the
mounting surface.
Automatic Alarms&Shutdowns. Generator functions are constantly monitored through a protective system that
features solid state circuitry for reliability and long life.The system automatically shuts down in response to certain
critical conditions such as high engine temperature, low coolant level,etc.
Advanced Wire Harness Design with Waterproof Connectors. Our wire harness design assures reliable,repeatable
interconnection between circuit components. Special sealed connectors protect against moisture,dust and
environmental damage.
Generac-Manufactured Alternators. Our revolving field alternators are fully-insulated and self-ventilating.They
feature higher temperature Class H insulation,but are designed to operate at lower,Class F temperature levels for
longer life.Oversized alternators are available on many models for additional motor starting capacity.
Eco-Friendly Technology
• Natural gas and LP gas engines offer half the ozone-forming emissions of gasoline engines
• No diesel odor,no need for expensive double-walled diesel tanks,no fuel maintenance requirements,and no
containment concerns or risk of environmental liability from fuel spills.
• Natural gas operation eliminates refueling concerns
• Cleaner-burning fuel virtually eliminates odor and color from exhaust.
• Cleaner oil means having a significantly longer period between scheduled maintenance checkups.
Solid-State Sensing and Starting Control. Provides the ultimate in engine protection.The magnetic pickup senses
overspeed, automatically shuts down the engine,disconnects the starter motor and prevents re-engagement.The
system also provides cyclic cranking for improved starting reliability and cranking termination for starter motor
protection.
Solid-State,Frequency Compensated Voltage Regulation(V/F). Provides fast,optimized response to changing
load conditions. Maximum motor starting capability is assured by electronically torque-matching the surge loads to the
engine.
Easy To Service. All service points are located at the perimeter of the frame for easy access.
UL-2200-Listed. All Generac standby generators are UL 2200 listed and our transfer switches are UL 1008 listed. UL
listing verifies the kilowatt ratings of our generators,and is your assurance that Generac standby systems meet the
highest safety,endurance,and performance standards.

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
Just imagine trying to do your job in an emergency situation—when your work is desperately needed,but your
electricity went out, possibly as part of the emergency.
An automatic, permanently-installed Generator for your facility is called an Emergency Standby Generator. During an
electricity outage, it automatically supplies electricity for as long as you need it—for weeks,if necessary—but it is not
intended to replace the utility permanently. You also need an ATS or Automatic Transfer Switch,which is the part
that switches back and forth from utility power to Generator power as needed.
Without a Generator:
• Staff would not hive lighting, heat,air conditioning,water,sewage.
• Failed communications—phones, Internet,TV—could lead to mission failure.
• Overheating could damage computers and electronic equipment.
• Electronic valves and controls could fail,resulting in damage.
• Inoperable sump pumps could allow flooding and ruined equipment.
• Inoperable refrigerators and freezers could allow expensive medicines and food to spoil.
• Water pipes could freeze and burst in a prolonged winter outage.
• The security system could stop protecting your facility when its battery dies.
State Contract makes it much easier to get your Generator:
• In many cases,you no longer have to spend your time on the hassle,delays,and expense of the bid process.
• You may not need to hire an engineering firm to prepare bid specifications,or to pay for lawyers or
advertising.
• The State has already done the shopping,negotiated the pricing,and checked references for you.
• In many states,all levels and types of government operations and even non-profits can use the Contract.
Hundreds of Generators are included on the State's H.I.R.E.Contract:
• Large permanently-mounted automatic`Emergency Standby"Generators,to run large or small buildings.
• Mobile(towable)Generators to bring power where most needed in an emergency.
• Large Mobile Containerized Generators up to 2 megawatts.
• Mobile Light Towers which can fully illuminate up to seven acres in all kinds of situations.
• Portable Generators to use at emergency sites.
• Generators can be fueled by natural gas,propane,diesel fuel,or gasoline.
• Sizes available from 800 watts to 9,000,000 plus watts.
GASEOUS-FUELED GENERATORS—THE BEST CHOICE FOR STANDBY POWER
For standby power systems,"Green"gaseous fuels-natural gas or liquid propane(LP)vapor—may be a better choice
over diesel fuel,for a variety of reasons:
Advantages of Gaseous Fuel
• Natural gas is delivered reliably and continuously underground
• Natural gas demand drops significantly during a power outage, assuring more than adequate supply
• Historically,natural gas has cost less than diesel fuel
• Gaseous engines are quieter than diesel engines in terms of noise,vibration and harshness
• Spark ignited engines start more easily than diesel engines in cold climates
• Gaseous engines emit fewer pollutants than diesel engines and are environmentally friendly
