DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. • NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.

Safety Information 2. GV 5000A/5003A Safety Information This manual contains DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, NOTICE and NOTE callouts which must be followed to reduce the possibility of personal injury, damage to the equipment, or improper service. This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
GV 5000A/5003A 2.1 Operating Safety DANGER WARNING wc_si000107gb.fm Safety Information BACKFEED FROM THE GENERATOR INTO THE PUBLIC POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO UTILITY WORKERS! Improper connection of generator to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to backfeed into utility lines. This may result in electrocution of utility workers, fire, or explosion.
Safety Information GV 5000A/5003A 2.1.10 ALWAYS be sure the machine is on a firm, level surface and will not tip, roll, slide, or fall while operating. 2.1.11 ALWAYS transport the generator in an upright position. 2.1.12 ALWAYS keep the machine at least one meter (three feet) away from structures, buildings, and other equipment during use. 2.1.13 ALWAYS keep the area immediately surrounding and underneath the machine clean, neat, and free of debris and combustible materials.
GV 5000A/5003A 2.3 Service Safety WARNING wc_si000107gb.fm Safety Information Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. If the generator is experiencing problems or is being serviced, attach a “DO NOT START” sign to the control panel to notify other people of its condition. 2.3.

GV 5000A/5003A 3. Operation Operation 3.1 Determining Power Requirements Wacker Neuson generator Model GV 5000A is designed to operate single-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model GV 5003A is designed to operate single phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230VAC and/or three-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 400VAC. Both single and three phase sides of the generator may be run at the same time. NOTICE: Do not exceed the power output of the generator.
Operation GV 5000A/5003A Approximate Starting Power Requirements • Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is stated on their nameplates. • Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated wattage to start. • Electrical motors and many types of electrical tools often require a large starting current. The amount of starting current depends on the type of motor and its use.
GV 5000A/5003A 3.2 Operation Installation Place the generator in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow, or direct sunlight. Make sure it is positioned on firm, level ground, so it will not slide or shift. Position the engine exhaust away from areas where people may be present. The surrounding area must be free from water and moisture. All components must be protected from excessive moisture. DANGER DANGER wc_tx000271gb.fm Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Operation 3.3 GV 5000A/5003A Generator Derating All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. As temperature increases, an engine will run less efficiently and more resistance will be found in electrical components.
GV 5000A/5003A 3.4 Operation Use of Extension Cords WARNING When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. A cord with a larger cross section will reduce the voltage loss. NOTICE: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat.

GV 5000A/5003A 3.5 Operation Control Panel See Graphic: wc_gr001274, wc_gr001369 The circuit breaker protects the generator from severe overloads or short circuits. If the circuit breaker opens, turn the engine off immediately and determine the cause before restarting. Check the appliances and tools attached to the generator for defects and make sure their power requirements do not exceed the power rating of the generator or the current limit of the receptacles.

Refer to your engine Operator’s Manual for additional information on engine maintenance. 4.2 Periodic Maintenance Schedule Daily before starting Check fuel level. Check engine oil level. Inspect air filter. Replace as needed.* Check external hardware. After first 20 hrs. Clean air cleaner element.* Every 50 hrs. Every 100 hrs. Every 300 hrs.
Maintenance 4.3 GV 5000A/5003A Engine Oil See Graphic: wc_gr000022 4.3.1 Drain the oil while the engine is still warm. 4.3.2 Remove the oil filler plug (a) and the drain plug (b) to drain the oil. Note: In the interests of environmental protection, place a plastic sheet and a container under the machine to collect any liquid that drains off. Dispose of this liquid in accordance with environmental protection legislation. 4.3.3 Install the drain plug. 4.3.
GV 5000A/5003A 4.4 Maintenance Air Cleaner See Graphic: wc_gr0001287 The engine is equipped with a single element air cleaner. Service air cleaner frequently to prevent carburetor malfunction. NOTICE: NEVER run the engine without the air cleaner. Severe engine damage will occur. NEVER use gasoline or other types of low flashpoint solvents for cleaning the air cleaner. A fire or explosion could result. WARNING To service: 4.4.
Maintenance 4.5 GV 5000A/5003A Spark Plug See Graphic: wc_gr000028 Clean or replace the spark plug as needed to ensure proper operation. Refer to your engine operator’s manual. The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Do not touch the muffler while it is hot. WARNING Note: Refer to section Technical Data for the recommended spark plug type and the electrode gap setting. 4.5.1 Remove the spark plug and inspect it. 4.5.
GV 5000A/5003A 4.6 Maintenance Engine Speed See Graphic: wc_gr001300 Generators require a fixed engine speed to maintain the correct voltage. Engine speed is controlled by a governor which automatically adjusts to varying loads on the engine to maintain a constant speed of 3000 rpm. There is no throttle control. To set the engine to the proper speed: Turn the speed adjusting screw (a) in or out to obtain a no-load speed of 3100 rpm.
Maintenance 4.7 GV 5000A/5003A Storage Before storing the generator for a long period of time: 4.7.1 Close the fuel valve and remove and empty the sediment cup or fuel strainer. 4.7.2 Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor. Place the open end of the fuel line into a suitable container and open the fuel valve to drain the fuel from the tank. WARNING 4.8 Gasoline is extremely flammable. Drain the fuel tank in a wellventilated area. DO NOT drain the fuel tank in an area with flames or sparks. 4.
