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:

The engine exhaust from this product

contains chemicals known to the state

of California to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm.

• For safety reasons, Generac recommends that this

equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by a

Generac Authorized Service Dealer or other compe-

tent, 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 regulations.

• 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, do nothing that might

render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with the

aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regula-

tions.

• 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 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.

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 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 anticipate every possible circumstance

that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this man-

ual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are, there-

fore, not all-inclusive. If using a procedure, work

method or operating technique that Generac does not

specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others.

Also make sure the procedure, work method or operat-

ing technique utilized does not render the generator

unsafe.

DANGER

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 main-

tain this equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Guardian Liquid-cooled 27 kW and 30 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 automat-

ic 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 work must be done 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 there

are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers,

consult the 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.

Section 1 - General Information

Guardian Liquid-cooled 27 kW and 30 kW Generators

1.1 GENERATOR

1.3 AUTOMATIC SYSTEM OPERATION

When this generator, along with a transfer switch, has

been installed and interconnected, a circuit board in

the generator panel constantly 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 generator starts, the transfer switch

transfers load circuits so the generator can power

them.

This equipment is a liquid-cooled, engine-driven gen-

erator set. The generator is designed to supply elec-

trical power that operates critical electrical loads

during utility power failure. The unit has been facto-

ry-installed in a weather resistant, all metal enclosure

and is intended for outdoor installation only. Use this

generator as a source of electrical power for the oper-

ation of 120 and/or 240VAC, single-phase loads.

When UTILITY source voltage has been restored, the

switch re-transfers back to the UTILITY source volt-

age and the generator then shuts down.

If this generator is used to power electrical load

circuits normally powered by a UTILITY power

Please reference the transfer switch manual for spe-

cific information.

source, it is required by code to install a trans-

fer switch. The transfer switch must effectively

isolate the electric system from the utility distri-

bution system when the generator is operating

(NEC 701). Failure to isolate an electrical system

by such means results in damage to the genera-

tor and may also result in injury or even death

to utility power workers due to backfeed of

electrical energy.

1.4 GENERATOR AC CONNECTION

SYSTEMS

The generator was shipped from the factory with its

stator AC output leads connected in a single-phase,

three-wire generator AC connection system (Figure

1.1). 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

120VAC, 60 Hertz. When the two windings are con-

nected in series, a 240VAC, 60 Hertz AC output

results. Typically the two HOT leads in the circuit are

wires 11 and 44. The NEUTRAL leads are the junc-

tion of Wires 22 and 33. The NEUTRAL is not

grounded.

1.2 TRANSFER SWITCH

This generator system may include a matched auto-

matic transfer switch which is intended to be used in

conjunction with the Generac generator. It is supplied

in either a NEMA 1 enclosure or a NEMA 3R enclo-

sure. The NEMA 1 enclosure is intended for indoor

use only. The NEMA 3R enclosure is weather proof

and can be used indoors or outdoors. Follow these

rules:

Figure 1.1 - Generator AC Connection System

• Install the transfer switch on a firm, sturdy sup-

porting structure.

• To prevent switch distortion, level the switch if nec-

essary. This can be done by placing washers

between the switch enclosure and the mounting

surface.

• Never install the switch where water or any corro-

sive substance might drip onto the enclosure.

• Protect the switch at all times against excessive

moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and cor-

rosive vapors.

If a transfer switch is not included, one may be pur-

chased separately from a Generac Authorized Dealer.

1.5 MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

The generator’s main circuit breaker is included with

the unit as shipped from the factory. The breaker for

each unit is described in Figure 1.2.

Figure 1.4 - Low Oil Pressure Switch

1.6 GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM

The unit has been factory tested and adjusted using a

natural gas fuel system. If propane (LP) gas is neces-

sary, contact an authorized service dealer.

Fuel pressure for a natural gas set up should be five

inches to 14 inches of water column (0.18 to 0.5

psi) at all load ranges.

Fuel pressure for an LP vapor set up should be 11

inches to 14 inches of water column (0.4 to 0.5

psi) at all load ranges.

NOTE:

A seperate gas line and regulator may be needed

to assure proper gas pressure to the generator.

Improper gas pressure can cause hard starting and

affect engine durability.

The Low Oil Pressure, High Coolant Temperature

and Low Coolant Level are not monitored for the

first 10 seconds of engine run time.

1.7.2 HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE

SWITCH

‹

Gaseous fuels such as natural and LP (propane)

gas are highly explosive. Even the slightest

spark can ignite such fuels and cause an explo-

sion. 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.

This 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. This causes the

engine to shut down automatically and turns on the

high coolant temperature/low coolant level LED

(Figure 1.5).

1.7 ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES

The engine has several safety switches which cause

the engine to automatically shut down under the fol-

lowing conditions: low oil pressure, high coolant tem-

perature, engine overspeed, low coolant level or over-

crank (Figure 1.3).

TEMPERATURE

SWITCH

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 automatical-

ly shuts down and turns on the high coolant temper-

ature/low coolant level LED (Figure 1.6 on page 6).

1.7.1 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, the engine

shuts down automatically, and the low oil pressure

LED is turned ON (Figure 1.4).

Section 1 — General Information

Guardian Liquid-cooled 27 kW and 30 kW Generators

Figure 1.6 - Low Coolant Level Sensor

1.7.7 LOW BATTERY

‹

The engine control board continually monitors the

battery voltage and turns on the low battery LED if

the battery voltage falls below 11.0 VDC for one

minute. Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm,

which will automatically clear if the battery voltage

rises above 11.0 VDC.

The control system will not attempt to start the

engine if there is a low battery condition, however, if

the engine is already running when the low battery

condition occurs, the engine will continue to run as

long as possible.

Battery voltage is NOT monitored during the crank

cycle.

1.7.4 OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN

‹

1.7.8 ALARM RESET

‹

The engine control board receives AC frequency sig-

nals from an engine run winding in the alternator.

Should AC frequency exceed about 72 Hertz for three

seconds or 75 Hertz instantaniously, the engine shuts

down and the overspeed LED turns on. Should AC

frequency exceed about 72 Hertz, circuit board action

will automatically shutdown the engine (Figure 1.7).

If the engine control board shuts down the generator

for any of the above reasons, the engine remains

stopped until the alarm is cleared by placing the

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch into the OFF position.

1.7.9 DC FUSES

‹

These fuses are located on the front panel of the con-

trol system. They protect the panel wiring and com-

ponents from damaging overload. Always remove the

15 amp main fuse before working on the generator.

The unit will not start or crank if this fuse is blown.

Replace the fuse with one of the same size, type, and

rating (main AGC-15, battery charger AG4).

1.7.5 RPM SENSOR LOSS

After unpacking, carefully inspect the generator for

any damage that may have occurred during ship-

ment. If loss or damage is noted at the time of deliv-

ery, have the person(s) making delivery note all dam-

age on the freight bill or affix their signature under

the consignor’s memo of loss or damage.

If the engine control board does not receive a proper

rpm signal from the starter during cranking or run-

ning, it shuts down the engine on rpm sensor loss

and flash the overspeed LED.

1.7.6 OVERCRANK SHUTDOWN

‹

The engine control board uses a cyclic cranking

process when attempting to start the engine. The first

crank cycle is a 15-second crank followed by a seven-

second rest. This is followed by five more crank

cycles each with a seven-second crank followed by a

seven-second rest.

1.9 LIFTING THE GENERATOR

When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be

careful not to touch overhead power lines. The

generators weight of more than 900 pounds

requires proper tools, equipment, and qualified

personnel to be used in all phases of handling

and unpacking.

If the engine fails to start after all six attempts, the

start attempt is stopped and the overcrank LED’s

illuminated.

1.14 ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

The unit has been filled with 5W-20 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:

The standard transfer switch has no sensing or con-

trolling circuit boards. Instead, the generator control

console houses a “Printed Circuit Board Assembly”,

which controls all phases of operation, including

engine start up and load transfer.

NOTE:

Connecting this generator to an electrical sys-

tem normally supplied by an electric utility

shall be by means of a transfer switch, so as to

isolate the electric system from the utility distri-

bution system when the generator is operating.

Failure to isolate the electric system by these

means will result in damage to the generator

and may also result in injury or death to utility

workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

Synthetic oil is highly recommended in any element

with temperatures above 90° F or below 30° F.

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before

it has been properly serviced with the recom-

mended oil may result in an engine failure.

If an open bottom is used, the engine-genera-

tor is to be installed over non-combustible

materials and should be located such that com-

bustible materials are not capable of accumu-

lating under the generator set.

1.15 COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Use a mixture of half low silicate ethylene glycol base

anti-freeze and half de-ionized water. Cooling system

capacity is about 12 U.S. quarts (11.4 liters). Use only

de-ionized water and only low silicate anti-freeze. If

desired, add a high quality rust inhibitor to the rec-

ommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant,

always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.

Only qualified, competent installation contractors or

electricians thoroughly familiar with applicable

codes, standards and regulations should install this

standby electric power system. The installation must

comply strictly with all codes, standards and regula-

tions pertaining to the installation.

Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor

with ethylene glycol base anti-freeze or chromi-

umhydroxide (“green slime”) forms and will

cause overheating. Engines that have been

operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor

must be chemically cleaned before adding eth-

ylene glycol base anti-freeze. Using any high

silicate anti-freeze boosters or additives will

also cause overheating. It is also recommend

that any soluble oil inhibitor is NOT USED for

this equipment.

After the system has been installed, do nothing

that might render the installation in noncompli-

ance with such codes, standards and regula-

tions.

SYSTEM

Figure 2.1 shows a schematic diagram of a basic

standby electric system. Both the UTILITY power

supply and the STANDBY (GENERATOR) output are

connected to an approved transfer switch. The trans-

fer switch is required by electrical code and serves

the following functions:

• Allows the LOAD circuits to be connected to only

one power supply at a time.

• Prevents electrical backfeed between the generator

and the UTILITY power circuits.

Notice that both the STANDBY and the UTILITY

power supplies to the transfer switch are protected

against overload by a main line circuit breaker.

2.2 GENERATOR LOCATION

Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure

outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air

always is available. Consider these factors:

• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings

will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow,

etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drift-

ing, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.

• Install the generator on high ground where water

levels will not rise and endanger it.

• This genset must be installed on a level surface.

The base frame must be level within 1/2 inch all

around.

• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator

for maintenance and servicing. A good rule is to

allow five feet of space on all sides.

Figure 2.2 – Generator Grounding Lug (typical)

2.5 EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION

METHOD

This prevents overloading the generator by keeping

electrical loads below the wattage/amperage capacity

of the generator. If the generator is powering only crit-

ical loads, within the wattage/amperage capacity, dur-

ing utility power outages, consider using the emer-

gency circuit isolation method.

GROUNDING

LUG

Critical electrical loads are grouped together and

wired into a separate “Emergency Distribution

Panel.” Load circuits powered by that panel are with-

in the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator set.

When this method is used, it is difficult to overload

the generator. The transfer switch must meet the fol-

lowing requirements:

DANGER

Do not connect the ground wire to any pipe

that carries a flammable or explosive substance

– FIRE or an EXPLOSION may result.

• It must have an ampere rating equal to the total

amperage rating of the emergency distribution

panel circuit.

• Have it installed between the building’s main dis-

tribution panel and the emergency distribution

panel.

Proper grounding helps protect personnel against

electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condi-

tion in the generator or in connected electrical

devices. In addition, grounding helps dissipate static

electricity that often builds up in ungrounded

devices.

2.6 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 gener-

ator to be overloaded when this isolation method is

employed. The following apply to the transfer switch

in this type of system.

2.8 GENERATOR AC 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 actual result depends on the

electrical characteristics of the particular installed

generator.

• 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.

2.7 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires the frame and

external electrically conductive parts of this equip-

ment 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 gener-

ator mounting base. Consult a qualified electrician

for grounding requirements in the area. Grounding

procedures must meet local regulations.

Failure to connect the generator neutral prop-

erly will result in unbalanced line-to-neutral

voltages. Resulting high voltages will cause

equipment damage.

2.9 TRANSFER SWITCH SIGNAL

CONNECTIONS

‹

2.9.1 PRE-PACKAGED ATS

If the generator is to be installed with a pre-packaged

transfer switch, it is necessary to connect the control

wires to the generator and set position two of the

four-position dip switch to OFF.

Setting switch two to OFF allows the control PCB to

perform the ATS control functions.

nection leads must be run in a conduit that is sepa-

rate from the AC power lead. Recommended wire

gauge sizes for this wiring depends on the length of

the wire, as recommended below:

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.

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The

battery is capable of exploding.

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released

electrolyte can be toxic and harmful to the skin

and eyes.

‹

2.9.2 GTS-TYPE ATS

If the generator is to be installed with an automatic

transfer switch, such as an engineered Generac GTS-

type switch, it is necessary to connect the two-wire

start control system.

The battery represents a risk of high short cir-

cuit current. When working on the battery,

always remove watches, rings or other metal

objects, and only use tools that have insulated

handles.

Connect the two-wire start signal from the automatic

transfer switch to the automatic start connection,

which is located in the middle, on the bottom, 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 conductors for the two-wire

start circuit must be in their own conduit. (See

Section 3.1 for further explanation.)

When replacing batteries, use the same number and

type of battery. The recommended batteries are

Group 26, 12V negative ground 525 CCA/75 AH min-

imum capacity, or Group 27F, 12V negative ground

600 CCA/90 AH minimum capacity. All batteries

must be at 100 percent state-of-charge before they

are installed on the generator.

2.10 BATTERY INSTALLATION

When using maintenance-free batteries, it is not nec-

essary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level.

Have these procedures performed at the intervals

specified in Section 4, “Maintenance.” A negative

ground system is used. Battery connections are

shown on the wiring diagrams. Make sure all batter-

ies are correctly connected and terminals are tight.

Observe battery polarity when connecting batteries to

the generator set.

DANGER

Standby generators installed with automatic

transfer switches will crank and start automati-

cally when NORMAL (UTILITY) source voltage is

removed or is below an acceptable preset level.

To prevent such automatic start-up and possible

injury to personnel, do not connect battery

cables until certain that normal source voltage

at the transfer switch is correct and the system

is ready to be placed into operation.

NOTE:

Damage will result if the battery connections are

made in reverse.

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 battery 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.

2.11 PREPARATION BEFORE START-UP

The instructions in this section assume that the

standby generator has been properly installed, serv-

iced, 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 safety information in this manual,

before attempting to operate this (and related) equip-

ment.

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 fluid is spilled, flush the

affected area immediately with clear water.

Section 3 — Operation

Guardian Liquid-cooled 27 kW and 30 kW Generators

2.11.1 PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP

‹

2.11.6 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

approximately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied midway

between pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8-

inch (10 to 16 mm).

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 quantities of engine fluids (oil, coolant,

fuel, etc.) may result in an engine failure.

‹

2.11.7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Before starting the generator for the first time, the

installer must complete the following procedures. For

follow-up maintenance information and/or service

intervals, please refer to Section 4, “Maintenance.”

Make sure the generator is properly connected to an

approved earth ground and/or ground rod.

Make sure the generator battery is fully charged,

properly installed and interconnected, and ready for

use.

‹

2.11.2 TRANSFER SWITCH

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.

If this generator is used to supply power to any elec-

trical system normally powered by an electric utility,

the National Electrical Code requires that a transfer

switch be installed. The transfer switch prevents elec-

trical backfeed between two different electrical sys-

tems (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 compliance with applicable codes, standards

and regulations.

3.1 USING A STANDARD “GTS”

TRANSFER SWITCH

When required, the pre-packaged standby generator

can be installed with a standard Generac “GTS” type

automatic transfer switch.

In this application, the GTS is responsible for utility

sensing, weekly exercising, and load transferring.

Position two of the four-position dip switch is used to

turn over this control to the GTS.

‹

2.11.3 FUEL SYSTEM

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” (Section 1.10) for more information.

3.2 CONTROL CONSOLE

3.2.3 15 AMP FUSE

‹

COMPONENTS

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. If the fuse needs to be replaced,

use only an identical 15-amp replacement fuse. (Type

AGC)

The components of a home standby generator control

console (Figure 3.1) are as follows:

3.2.1 AUTO/OFF/MANUAL SWITCH

‹

Use this three-position switch as follows:

• Set the switch to AUTO for fully automatic opera-

tion. See “Automatic Operation” (Section 3.5).

• Set switch to MANUAL position to crank and start

the generator engine.

• Set switch to OFF position to shut down an oper-

ating engine. With OFF selected, operation will not

be possible.

3.2.4 4.0 AMP INLINE FUSE

This fuse protects the battery charger against electri-

cal overload. If the fuse needs to be replaced, use only

an identical 4 amp replacement fuse (type AG).

‹

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.

DANGER

With switch set to AUTO, engine can crank and

start suddenly without warning. Such automat-

Engine speed governing is also controlled by the

engine control board. Connector J2 on the engine

control board interfaces with a governor driver mod-

ule and the Bosch throttle body. The engine governor

has been set by the factory during final testing of the

generator and, in most cases, should not be adjusted.

• Verify that UTILITY power supply voltage to the

transfer switch has been positively turned OFF,

using whatever means provided (such as utility

main line circuit breaker).

If, however, adjustments are necessary, or a new

engine control board is installed in the generator, the

following procedure should be followed (Figure 3.2):

• Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its OFF

1. Set all three potentiometers (pots) fully counter-

clockwise.

2. Under no load condition, increase the GAIN pot

as much as possible without causing instability.

3. Apply 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full load to the unit.

Decrease the GAIN pot if there is instability at any

load point.

4. Under full load condition, increase the stability

pot until the unit returns to 60 Hertz (or 50 Hertz

in 50 Hertz applications).

Guardian Liquid-cooled 27 kW and 30 kW Generators

DANGER

Do not attempt to adjust the governor. Only

qualified service facilities should adjust the

governor. Excessively high operating speeds are

dangerous and increase the risk of personal

injury. Low speeds impose a heavy load on the

engine when adequate engine power is not

available and may shorten engine life. Correct

rated frequency and voltage are supplied only

at the proper governed speed. Some connected

electrical load devices may be damaged by

incorrect frequency and/or voltage. Only quali-

fied service technicians should adjust the gov-

erned speed.

After refilling the crankcase with oil, always

check oil level on dipstick. NEVER OPERATE

ENGINE WITH OIL BELOW THE DIPSTICK “ADD”

MARK.

7. Start engine and check for oil leaks.

4.5.11 CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER

‹

To replace the engine air cleaner, (part number

059402), remove the air cleaner cover and replace

the air filter making sure it is positioned properly

before reattaching the cover (Figure 4.3).

Figure 4.3 – Engine Air Cleaner

4.5.10 CHANGING ENGINE OIL

‹

Refer to maintenance performed by authorized serv-

ice facilities for engine oil and filter change frequen-

cies.

Drain the oil while the engine is still warm from run-

ning. This means warm up the engine, shut it down

and drain immediately as follows:

1. Remove OIL DRAIN HOSE from its retaining clip.

2. Loosen and remove OIL DRAIN HOSE CAP. Drain

oil completely into suitable container.

3. When all oil has drained, install and tighten OIL

DRAIN HOSE CAP, and re-install into its retaining

clip.

4. Turn OIL FILTER (Figure 4.2) counterclockwise

See the “Service Schedule,” Section 6, for air cleaner

maintenance.

and remove. Dispose of old filter.

5. Apply light coating of new engine oil to seal of new

oil filter. Install FILTER and tighten by hand only.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

4.5.12 SPARK PLUGS

‹

6. Remove OIL FILL CAP. Add recommended oil (see

SPECIFICATIONS). DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE

DIPSTICK “FULL” MARK. Crankcase oil capacity

is 4.0 U.S. quarts (3.8 liters).

Reset the spark plug gap or replace the spark plugs

as necessary. See Section 6.

1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs

to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean by

scraping or washing using a wire brush and com-

mercial solvent. Do not blast the spark plugs to

clean.

Figure 4.2 - Oil Filter

2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition.

Replace the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is

questionable. See the “Service Schedule,” Section

6, for recommended inspection.

3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler

gauge. Adjust the gap to 1.06-1.16 mm (0.042-

0.046 inch) by carefully bending the ground elec-

trode (Figure 4.4).

sulfuric solution that can cause severe burns. DO

NOT permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,

painted surfaces, wiring insulation, etc. If any bat-

tery fluid is spilled, flush the affected area with

clear water immediately.

SET PLUG GAP AT 1.06-1.16 mm

(0.042-0.046 inch)

• 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.

4.5.13 COOLANT CHANGE

‹

Every year, have Authorized Service Facility drain,

flush and refill the cooling system. See SPECIFICA-

TIONS (Section 1.10) for cooling system recommen-

dations.

4.6.3 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

The battery should be inspected per the “Service

Schedule,” Section 6. The following procedure

should be followed for inspection:

‹

1. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness

and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.

2. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries

and, if necessary, fill with DISTILLED WATER

ONLY. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN BATTERIES.

3. Have the state of charge and condition checked.

This should be done with an automotive-type bat-

tery hydrometer.

4.6 MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE

4.6.1 CLEANING THE GENERATOR

‹

Keep the generator as clean and as dry as possible.

Dirt and moisture that accumulates on internal gen-

erator windings have an adverse effect on insulation

resistance.

Periodically clean generator exterior surfaces. A soft

brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt. 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.

DANGER

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 battery 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.

Once each year, have the generator cleaned and

inspected by an Authorized Service Dealer. That deal-

er 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.

Finally, have the insulation resistance of stator and

rotor windings checked. If insulation resistances are

excessively low, the generator may require drying.

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 the fluid is spilled, flush

the affected area immediately with clear water.

4.6.2 BATTERY

‹

All lead-acid storage batteries discharge when not in

use. Refer to specific instructions and warnings that

accompany the battery. If such information is not

available, observe the following precautions when

handling a battery:

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.

• DO NOT use jumper cables and a booster battery

to 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.

Section 10 – Warranty

GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS "TWO YEAR" LIMITED WARRANTY FOR GUARDIAN

"PREPACKAGED EMERGENCY AUTOMATIC STANDBY GENERATORS"

For a period of two years from the date of original sale, Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) warrants that its Guardian generator

will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the items and period set forth below. Generac will, at its option, repair or replace

any part which, upon examination, inspection and testing by Generac or a Guardian Authorized Warranty Service Dealer, is found to be

defective. Any equipment that the purchaser/owner claims to be defective must be examined by the nearest Guardian Authorized

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

purchaser/owner. This warranty applies only to Generac Guardian prepackaged emergency automatic standby generators sold and

rated for use in "Standby" applications.

WARRANTY SCHEDULE

YEARS ONE and TWO - 100% (one hundred percent) transferable coverage on Labor and Part(s) listed (proof of purchase and main-

tenance is required):

Engine - All Components

Alternator - All Components

Transfer System - All Components

Steel enclosures are warranted against rusting for the first year of ownership only. Damage caused after receipt of generator is the

responsibility of the owner and is not covered by this warranty. Nicks, scrapes, dents or scratches to the painted enclosure should be

repaired promptly by the owner.

All warranty expense allowances are subject to the conditions defined in Guardian's Warranty Policies, Procedures and Flat Rate

Manual.

THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:

• Guardian generators that utilize non-Guardian/Generac replacement parts.

• Guardian generators utilizing non-Guardian/Generac automatic transfer switches.

• Repairs or diagnostics performed by individuals other than Guardian/Generac authorized dealers not authorized in writing by

Generac Power Systems.

• Any Guardian generators used as rental or trailer mounted applications.

• Units used for prime power in place of existing utility power where utility power is present or in place of utility power where utility

power service does not normally exist.

• Costs of normal maintenance, adjustments, installation and start-up.

• Steel enclosures that are rusting due to the improper installation, location in a harsh or saltwater environment or scratched where

integrity of paint applied is compromised.

• Failures caused by any contaminated fuels, oils, coolants or lack of proper fluid amounts.

• Failures due, but not limited, to normal wear and tear, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence or improper installation. As with all

mechanical devices, the Generac engines need periodic part(s) service and replacement to perform well. This warranty will not

cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part(s) or engine.

• Failures caused by any external cause or act of God, such as collision, theft, vandalism, riot or wars, nuclear holocaust, fire,

freezing, lightning, earthquake, windstorm, hail, volcanic eruption, water or flood, tornado or hurricane.

• Damage related to rodent and/or insect infestation.

• Products that are modified or altered in a manner not authorized by Generac in writing.

• Any incidental, consequential or indirect damages caused by defects in materials or workmanship, or any delay in repair or

replacement of the defective part(s).

• Failure due to misapplication.

• Telephone, cellular phone, facsimile, internet access or other communication expenses.

• Living or travel expenses of person(s) performing service, except as specifically included within the terms of a specific unit warranty

period.

• Expenses related to "customer instruction" or troubleshooting where no manufacturing defect is found.

• Rental equipment used while warranty repairs are being performed.

• Costs incurred for equipment used for removal and/or reinstallation of generator, (i.e.; cranes, hoists, lifts, etc.)

• Overnight freight costs for replacement part(s).

• Overtime labor.

• Starting batteries, fuses, light bulbs and engine fluids.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SPECIFICALLY, GENERAC MAKES

NO OTHER WARRANTIES AS TO THE 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 PART(S) 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.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You also have other rights from state to state.
