Model AC-G0005 6500 Surge Watts / 6000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator 11

Step 2 - Add Gasoline

Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns.

• Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental damage.

To add gasoline:

To ensure that this generator runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust system.

1. Confirm that this generator is on a level surface.

2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: The fuel tank cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)

3. Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline (with an octane rating 87 or higher) to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel tank above the upper limit line. The fuel tank capacity for this ACDelco Model AC-G0005 6500 Surge Watts / 6000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator is 6.5 gallons (24.6 L). The fuel gauge, located on the top of this generator, indicates how much gasoline is currently in the fuel tank. NOTE: Because gasoline can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.

USING THE GENERATOR

After the engine has been running for several minutes, electrical devices may be connected to this generator.

AC Usage

Electrical devices running on AC current may be connected according to their wattage requirements. The rated (running) and surge wattage for this

ACDelco Model AC-G0005 6500 Surge Watts / 6000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator is 6,000 and 6,500, respectively.

Model AC-G0005 Rated (Running) Wattage

Model AC-G0005 Surge Wattage

6000

6500

The rated (running) wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage a generator can output on a continuous basis.

The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power a generator can output for a short time. Many electrical devices, such as a refrigerator, require short bursts of extra power for starting and stopping fan motors, etc., in addition to their listed rated wattage. Motorized devices typically require more than their rated wattage for startup. The surge wattage ability of a generator allows for this extra power requirement.

The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to a generator should not exceed the rated wattage of the generator itself.

To calculate the total wattage requirement of the electrical devices to be connected, look up the rated (running) wattage of each device and add these numbers together to find the total wattage that all of the devices together will draw from the generator. If the total wattage of the selected devices exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all of the devices. Select a combination of the electrical devices that will have a total wattage less than or equal to the rated wattage for the generator, i.e., no more than 6000 for this ACDelco Model AC-G0005 6500 Surge

Watts / 6000 Running Watts Electric Start Portable Generator.

This generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of this generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of a

generator.

A device's rated (running) wattage should be listed somewhere on the device itself and/or in its manual. If the wattage specification for a device is not available, the wattage can be calculated by multiplying the Voltage requirement (120 or 240) by the Amperage drawn.

Watts = Volts x Amperes

Or, the wattage required by a device can be estimated by using the following chart (see Figure 7). The chart provides only estimates and it is better to know the exact wattage of each electrical device to be powered by this generator.

Checking the Oil Level

Even though this generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from damage due to low oil, it is important to check the oil level in the engine crankcase before each use to ensure that there is a sufficient quantity.

To check the oil level:

1. Verify that this generator is shut down and on a level surface.

2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 11.

3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the dipstick that is located on the inside of the cap.

4. Insert the dipstick as if replacing the cap and then remove again. There should be oil on the dipstick. If there is no oil on the dipstick, or oil is visible only at the very end of the dipstick, add oil until the engine crankcase is filled (see “Changing/Adding Oil” in this section of this manual).

5. Confirm that the oil filler/dipstick cap is properly in place when finished verifying the oil level.
