Invoering
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, setup, and maintenance of your Generac GP6500 portable generator. The GP6500 is designed to provide reliable power with PowerRush Advanced Technology, offering increased starting capacity for various applications.
Veiligheidsinformatie
Always operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from windows and doors, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never operate the generator indoors, including garages or sheds.
- COSense Technology: This generator is equipped with COSense Technology, which automatically shuts down the engine if hazardous carbon monoxide levels are detected.
- Low-Oil Level Shutdown: The engine will automatically shut down if the oil level drops below a safe operating threshold, protecting the engine from damage.
- Stroomonderbrekers: Integrated AC circuit breakers protect the generator from overload. Reset them by pressing the button after resolving the overload condition.
Instellen
1. Uitpakken en monteren
Carefully remove the generator and all components from the packaging. Assembly typically involves attaching the wheels and the easy fold-down handle. Refer to the included assembly guide for detailed steps.

2. Motorolie toevoegen
The generator is shipped without engine oil. Locate the oil fill cap/dipstick. Using the provided funnel, carefully add the recommended engine oil (typically 10W-30, a quart is often included with the generator) until it reaches the 'Full' mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.

3. Brandstof toevoegen
Fill the large-capacity steel fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. Ensure the fuel cap is securely tightened after filling. The built-in fuel gauge allows for easy monitoring of fuel levels.
Gebruiksaanwijzing
1. De generator starten
- Zorg ervoor dat de generator op een vlakke ondergrond staat en dat alle elektrische verbruikers zijn losgekoppeld.
- Draai de brandstofkraan naar de 'AAN'-stand.
- Move the choke lever to the 'CHOKE' position (if starting a cold engine).
- For electric start models, press and hold the 'START' button until the engine starts. For manual start, pull the recoil starter handle firmly.
- Zodra de motor start, beweegt u de chokehendel geleidelijk naar de 'RUN'-positie.
2. Elektrische belastingen aansluiten
Once the generator is running smoothly, you can connect your electrical devices to the appropriate outlets (120V, 240V). Do not overload the generator. The control panel features multiple outlets with protective covers.

3. Monitoring van de werking
The integrated hour meter tracks engine run time, which is crucial for scheduling maintenance intervals. Regularly check the fuel gauge and listen for any unusual engine noises.
4. De generator uitschakelen
- Koppel alle elektrische apparaten los van de generator.
- Laat de motor enkele minuten onbelast draaien om af te koelen.
- Zet de motorschakelaar op 'UIT'.
- Draai de brandstofkraan naar de 'UIT'-stand.
Onderhoud
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your generator. Always refer to the complete owner's manual for detailed maintenance schedules and procedures.
- Olie verversen: Change the engine oil at recommended intervals, typically after the first 20 hours of operation, and then every 50-100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Use the hour meter to track usage.
- Luchtfilter: Controleer en reinig het luchtfilter regelmatig. Vervang het indien beschadigd.
- Bougie: Controleer en reinig de bougie jaarlijks of elke 100 uur. Vervang indien nodig.
- Brandstofsysteem: Use a fuel stabilizer if storing the generator for extended periods to prevent fuel degradation.
- Algemene schoonmaak: Houd de generator schoon en vrij van vuil.
Probleemoplossing
If your generator experiences issues, consult the following basic troubleshooting steps. For complex problems, contact qualified service personnel.
