GENERATOR FAMILIARIZATION
GENERATOR APPLIGVBILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac­
tured for supplying electrical power for recreational
vehicles. You should not modify the generator or use
it for any application other than for what it was
designed. If there are questions pertaining to its
application, write or call the factory. Do not use the
unit until you have been advised by a competent
authority.
DANGER: For fire safety, the generator must have
been properly installed in compliance with (1) ANSI
119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974 “Standard for
Recreational Vehicles”, Part III, “Installation of
Electrical Systems.” The generator also must have
been installed in strict compliance with the manu­
facturer’s detailed installation instructions. After
installation, do nothing that might render the unit
in non-compliance with such codes, standards and
instructions.
This generator has been designed to work with an
inverter (P/N A6187). The inverter changes the volt­
age from the generator from a DC to an AC voltage.
This generator will not operate properly without the
inverter box connected. All repairs of the inverter
must be handled by an authorized service dealer (see
Page 12 in “Maintenance).
You can use this generator to supply electrical power
for operating 120 volts, single phase, 60 Hertz, elec­
trical loads. These loads can require up to 3400 watts
(3.4 kW) for the Impact 34 plus, or 3600 watts (3.6
kW) for the Impact 36 plus. The maximum current at
120 volts is 28.3 amperes for the Impact 34 plus, or
30 amperes for the lmpact-36 plus.
CAUTION: Do not overload the generator. Some
installations may require that electrical loads be
alternated to avoid overloading. Applying exces­
sively high electrical loads may damage the gener­
ator and may shorten its life. Add up the rated
watts of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool and
motor loads the generator will power at one time.
This total should not be greater than the wattage
capacity of the generator. If an electrical device
nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply
volts times amps to obtain watts (volts x amps =
watts). Some electric motors require more watts
of power (or amps of current) for starting than for
continuous operation.
SAFETY
Before using the generator set, carefully read GEN­
ERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply with
these RULES to prevent accidents and damage to
equipment and/or property. Generac suggests copy­
ing and posting the GENERAL SAFETY RULES in
potential hazard areas of the recreational vehicle.
Safety should be stressed to all operators of this
equipment.
