EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
SAFETY RULES
This generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible
electrical lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads.
This manual contains information for a generator that
operates 120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz
devices that require up to 5000 watts (5.0 kW) of
power that pull up to 41.7 Amps at 120 Volts or
20.8 Amps at 240 Volts
This generator set was designed and manufactured
for specific applications. Do not attempt to modify the
unit or use it for any application it was not designed
for. If you have any questions about your generator’s
application, ask your Dealer/Distributor or consult the
factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every
circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that
reason warnings in the Manual and warnings on tags
or decals affixed to the unit are not all-inclusive. If you
intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a
procedure or method not specifically recommended by
the manufacturer, first make sure that such a
procedure or method will not render this equipment
unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.
CAUTION! Do not exceed the generator’s
wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated
watts of all devices you are connecting to
generator receptacles at one time. This total
should not be greater than 5000 watts. In most
cases rated watts of the electrical device can
be found on the device nameplate. If the
device nameplate gives only volts and amps,
multiply volts times amps to obtain watts
(volts X amps = watts).
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator set. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
WARNING:
The generator’s revolving field is driven at about
3600 rpm by a single-cylinder engine.
The engine exhaust from this product
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
The 5000 watt portable generator has the following
features:
• 120/240 Volt, 20 Amp locking type receptacle and a
120–Volt 30 Amp locking type receptacle.
DANGER! You must isolate the generator
from the electric utility by opening the electrical
system’s main circuit breaker or main switch if
this unit is used for backup power. Failure to
isolate the generator from the power utility
may result in injury or death to electric
utility workers and damage to the generator
due to a backfeed of electrical energy.
• 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.
• Low Oil Shutdown: Automatically shuts down the
engine if oil drops below safe operation level.
• Five gallon overhead fuel tank with fuel gauge.
• The generator’s revolving field is driven at about
3600 rpm by a Tecumseh 10 h.p. engine.
DANGER! Do not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase risk of personal injury
or damage to equipment. The generator
supplies correct rated frequency and voltage
only when running at proper governed speed.
Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage
some connected electrical loads. Operating at
excessively low speeds imposes a heavy load.
When adequate engine power is not available
engine life may be shortened.
DANGER! Generator exhaust gases contain
DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. Carbon
monoxide, if breathed in sufficient concerntrations, can cause unconsciousness or
death. Operate this equipment outdoors where
adequate ventilation is available.
• The generator produces a very powerful voltage that
can cause serious injury or death by electrocution.
Never touch bare wires or receptacles. Never permit
a child or any unqualified person to operate the
generator.

(d)
(e)
(f)
when connected electrical devices overheat;
if electrical output is lost;
if engine or generator sparks;
if flame or smoke is observed while unit is
running;
(g) if unit vibrates excessively.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any
damp or highly conductive area (such as metal
decking or steel work).
• Never use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged
electrical cords with the generator. Death, serious
injury and properly damage from electrical shock
may result.
• Gasoline is highly FLAMMABLE and its vapors
are EXPLOSIVE. Never allow smoking, open
flames, sparks or heat in the vicinity while
handling gasoline. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot
engine. Comply with all laws regulating storage and
handling of gasoline.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always allow room for
fuel expansion. If tank is overfilled, fuel can
overflow onto a hot engine and cause a FIRE or
an EXPLOSION.
• Never store a generator with fuel in the tank where
gasoline vapors might reach an open flame, spark
or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer). FIRE or an EXPLOSION may result.
• The generator requires an adequate flow of cooling
air for its continued proper operation. Never operate
the unit inside any room or enclosure where the free
flow of cooling air into and out of the unit might be
obstructed. Allow at least 2 feet of clearance on all
sides of generator, even while operating unit
outdoors, or you could damage the unit. However,
when operating unit in cold weather, refer to the
section “Cold Weather Operation” on page 10.
• Never start, or stop, the engine–generator with
electrical loads connected to receptacles with the
connected devices turned ON. Start the engine and
let it stabilize before connecting any electrical loads.
Disconnect all electrical loads before shutting down
the generator.
• Do not insert any object through cooling slots of the
engine. You could damage the unit or injure
yourself.
• Never operate the generator:
(a) in rain;
(b) in any enclosed compartment;
GROUNDING THE
GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame
and external electrically conductive parts of this
generator be properly connected to an approved earth
ground. Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, a
GROUNDING WING NUT is provided on the
generator end (Figure 1).
Figure 1 — Grounding Wing Nut
Grounding Wing Nut
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing
nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding
rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against
electrical shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire
attached after connecting the stranded copper wire.
However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a
local electrician for grounding requirements in your
area.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent
electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists in the
generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper
grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded devices.

BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE
Add Gasoline
DANGER! NEVER fill fuel tank indoors.
NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when
filling the fuel tank.
Add Oil
WARNING! Any attempt to crank or start the
WARNING! Do not overfill the fuel tank.
engine before it has been properly filled with
the recommended oil may result in an engine
failure.
Always allow room for fuel expansion.
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the generator
engine. Do not use premium gasoline. Do not mix
oil with gasoline.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in
the future, use only high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SF or SG or higher
rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special additives.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Slowly add unleaded regular gasoline to fuel tank.
Be careful not to overfill (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 — Fuel Expansion Air Space
Select the oil's viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperature:
• Above 40°F, use SAE 30.
• Below 40°F, use synthetic 5W–20 or 5W–30.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from running low
on oil.
• Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcoholblended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To fill your engine with oil:
• Place generator on a level surface.
• Clean area around oil fill and remove oil dipstick.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. See
“Storage” on page 10. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Wipe dipstick clean.
• Pour oil into oil fill opening until oil reaches FULL
mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill!
NOTE: The generator’s revolving field rides on a
prelubricated and sealed ball bearing that requires no
additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

Generac Portable Products SVP5000T Generator
OPERATING THE
GENERATOR
• When engine starts, move choke lever to
“1/2 Choke” position until the engine runs smoothly
and then to “No Choke” position. If engine falters,
move choke lever to “1/2 Choke” position until the
engine runs smoothly and then to “No Choke”
position.
Note: If engine fails to start after 3 pulls, move the choke
lever to “No Choke” position and pull starter rope again.
CAUTION! Never start or stop, the engine
with electrical loads connected to the
receptacles with the connected devices turned
ON.
Note: If the engine still fails to start after three (3) pulls,
check for proper oil level in crankcase. Unit is equipped
with a low oil shutdown system.
Starting the Engine
DANGER! Never run engine indoors or in
enclosed poorly ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas.
Note: If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move
choke lever to “Full Choke” position and repeat starting
instructions.

Cold Weather Operation
Figure 4 — Cold Weather Shelter
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your Generac
generator may experience icing of the carburetor
and/or the crankcase breather system.
In an emergency, use the original shipping box as a
temporary shelter:
• Cut off all flaps.
• Cut out one of the long sides of the box to expose
exhaust side of unit. Ensure a minimum of two feet
clearance between open side of box and nearest
object.
• Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
• Start unit, then place box over it.
IMPORTANT! Remove shelter when
temperature is above 40°F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator:
• Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.
• Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is
exposed, as shown in Figure 4.
DANGER: NEVER run unit indoors; Do not
enclose generator any more than that shown in
Figure 10. Remove shelter when temperatures
are above 40°F [4°C].
• Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between
open side of box and nearest object.
• Face exposed end away from wind and elements.

Generac Portable Products SVP5000T Generator
DON’T OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR
• If the appliance, tool or motor does not give
wattage, multiply 120 Volts times ampere rating to
determine watts (Volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power lasts
for only a few seconds when starting such motors.
Be sure you allow for this high starting wattage
when selecting electrical devices to connect to your
generator. First figure the watts needed to start the
largest motor. Add to that figure the running watts of
all other connected loads.
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to the generator and/or
connected electrical devices. Observe the following, to
prevent overloading the unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to
be connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generator’s wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or
decal affixed to the device.
• Items in the wattage reference guide (Figure 9) are
provided to help you to determine how many items
the generator can operate at one time.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If
this cannot be done and you must store the unit for
more than 30 days, use the following guidelines to
prepare it for storage.
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure
that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on
a timely basis; that all discrepancies are corrected;
and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored.
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
Generator Storage
• Clean the generator as outlined in “To Clean the
Generator.”
Engine Maintenance
See Engine Owner’s Manual for instructions.
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on
generator are open and unobstructed.
Generator Maintenance
DANGER! Storage covers can be flammable.
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit
clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean
dry environment where it will not be exposed to
excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Cooling air slots in the generator must not become

LIMITED WARRANTY
FOR PORTABLE GENERATORS
(EXCEPT GN ENGINE SERIES)
Generac Portable Products (hereafter referred to as the COMPANY) warrants to the original purchaser that its
generator will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year* from the date of original
purchase. This warranty does not apply to units used for prime power in place of utility. This warranty does not
include the gasoline engine when furnished or attached because such engine is covered solely by the warranty of
the manufacturer of the engine. Starting batteries are not warranted by the COMPANY.
*NOTE: Rental units, demonstrators, commercial applications, such as construction or income producing, are
warranted for 90 days. Rental units, demonstrators, or commercial applications such as construction or utility
which are resold are not covered under warranty by the COMPANY. Any warranty, whether expressed or implied,
rests solely with the seller.
During said warranty period, the COMPANY will, at its option, repair or replace any part which, upon examination
by the COMPANY is found to be defective under normal use and service. All transportation costs under warranty,
including return to the factory if necessary, are to be borne by the purchaser and prepaid by the purchaser. This
warranty does not include nominal maintenance and service and does not apply to a generator set, or parts,
which have been subjected to improper or unauthorized installation, misuse, negligence, accident, overloading,
overspeeding, improper maintenance, repair or storage so as, in the COMPANY's judgment, to adversely affect
its performance and reliability.
THERE IS NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY. THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE
DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IS LIMITED TO
THE TIME PERIOD AS SPECIFIED IN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. LIABILITY FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES UNDER ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES
IS EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUCH AS THE LOSS OF
TIME OR THE USE OF THE POWER EQUIPMENT, OR ANY COMMERCIAL LOSS DUE TO THE
FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT; AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusions or limitations of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
This warranty is effective for all products manufactured after June, 1998, and supersedes all prior warranties of
the COMPANY.
For service, contact your nearest COMPANY authorized warranty service facility or call 1-877-544-0982.
Warranty service can only be performed by a COMPANY authorized service facility. At the time of requesting
warranty service, evidence of original purchase date must be presented.
