Features
The 7000EXL generator has a 20-amp push-to-reset circuit breaker, and this circuit breaker keeps the generator from overloading. It also has a 12-volt DC, 10-amp receptacle, which helps you recharge 12-volt batteries. The Extenda Panel feature provides you with power during an outage, or you can use the cords as extension cords. This feature allows you to operate your generator outside.
Components
The Generac 7000EXL comes with an air cleaner filter, which is located on the side of the generator and prevents dust and debris from entering the engine. The spark arrester muffler has a screen that protects the spark arrester, and it also reduces engine noise. The idle control switch keeps your engine running at the lowest speed when you don’t have anything connected to the generator. It increases engine power as soon as you plug something into the generator. The choke lever helps you start up the engine even when you haven’t used it in a while.
Safety
Never use more than the rated wattage capacity, or you may damage your generator. Read your electrical device manual to determine the wattage for each device, and then add up these numbers. Always properly ground the generator before using it, and you can use the grounding wing nut for this purpose. The grounding wing nut is located on the lower left-hand side of the device. Switch the “Run/Stop” switch to "Run" before starting the engine. Hold down the “Start” button to start the engine.
