Operation; Pre-Use Check And Set-Up - Generac iX 800 Manuel D'utilisation

1.2.1 CONTROL PANEL
14. READY LED (green): Indicates output from the generator
unless there is a low oil or overload condition.
15. OVERLOAD LED (red): Lights up if the generator experiences
a load greater than the rated output, low voltage, overheats or
the powered circuit experiences a short. The output is stopped
even though the engine keeps running.
16. LOW OIL LEVEL LED (yellow): Lights up when oil level is below
safe operating level and the engine shuts down..
17. FlexPower™ Switch: This switch slows the engine speed when
the load is reduced to save fuel and engine wear.
18. 120 VAC Receptacles: Two (2) receptacles for connecting
accessories.
19. Ground (Earth) Connection Lug: Grounding point for the
generator; consult state and local electrical codes before use
(floating ground).
Do not exceed the rated output of the generator.

2.1 PRE-USE CHECK AND SET-UP

Prior to starting the generator and adding loads, perform the following
tasks:
1. Make sure the generator in on a firm, level (not to exceed 15° in
any direction), non-combustible surface with at least five (5) feet of
clearance on all sides.
Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home,
enclosed areas such as garages, even if doors
and windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and
far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an
area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.

or in partly
in a vehicle,
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon

monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and

ventilating air is critical to 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. The generator MUST be operated
outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly

maintained. Do nothing that might render the
exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
The manufacturer recommends installing

a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm
indoors, according to the manufacturers
instructions.

NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly
enclosed areas such as garages, campers or
trailers. ONLY use outdoors and far from open
windows, doors, vents.
Utiliser un générateur à l'intérieur PEUT VOUS
TUER EN QUELQUES MINUTES.
Les gaz d'échappement du générateur contiennent du monoxyde
de carbone. C'est un gaz toxique invisible et inodore.
NE JAMAIS utiliser à l'intérieur
d'une maison ou d'un garage,
MÊME SI les portes et les
fenêtres sont ouvertes.
2. Remove the fuel cap and check the fuel level. If fuel is needed, see
the section "FUELING THE GENERATOR".
3. Remove the left side service cover and check the oil level by
removing the oil filler cap. The oil level should be to the bottom of the
threads on the oil fill pipe. If oil is needed, see the section "ADDING
ENGINE OIL".
4. Replace and secure the left side service cover.
5. Make sure there are no loads connected to the generator.
6. The National Electric Code (NEC) requires the frame and external
electrically conductive parts of the generator be properly connected
to an approved earth ground. Proper grounding of the generator will
prevent electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the
generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also
helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in unguarded
devices.
7. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
generator.
