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.

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.

Guardian Liquid-cooled 27 kW and 30 kW Generators
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:
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).

1.8.2 INSPECTION
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.

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.

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.
Pos2 ON — GTS Application
• The control board will NOT monitor utility.
• The control board will NOT perform a weekly exer-

ating parameters and timing sequences.
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-

voltage drops below a pre-set level. To prevent
possible injury that might be caused by such
sudden starts, set AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch
to OFF before working on or around the unit.
Then, place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on con-
trol console.
3.2.6 SYSTEM READY LED
The System Ready LED (green) has two main pro-
poses. First, the LED will be ON when the
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is in the AUTO position,
utility is present, and there are no system alarms.

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.

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
Guardian Liquid-cooled 27 kW and 30 kW Generators
®
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.
