Safety Information 1.2 GV 7000A / 7003A Machine Description and Intended Use This machine is a portable electric power source. The Wacker Neuson Portable Generator consists of a tubular steel frame surrounding a fuel tank, a gasoline engine, a control panel, and an electric alternator. The control panel includes controls and receptacles. As the engine runs, the generator converts mechanical energy into electric power. The operator connects loads to the electric power receptacles.
GV 7000A / 7003A • Safety Information Personal injury from improper lifting techniques To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine. 1.3 Safety Guidelines for Operating the Machine 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.
Safety Information WARNING GV 7000A / 7003A Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel can be hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this manual and the engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before being allowed to operate it.
GV 7000A / 7003A Safety Information 1.3.9 Store the machine properly when it is not being used. The machine should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children. 1.3.10 Be sure the machine is on a firm, level surface and will not tip, roll, slide, or fall while operating. 1.3.11 ALWAYS transport the generator in an upright position. 1.3.12 ALWAYS keep the machine at least one meter (three feet) away from structures, buildings, and other equipment during use. 1.3.
Safety Information 1.4 GV 7000A / 7003A Operator Safety while Using Internal Combustion Engines WARNING Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling. Failure to follow the warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death. f Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine owner’s manual and the safety guidelines below. DANGER f Carbon monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO).
GV 7000A / 7003A 1.5 Safety Information Service Safety WARNING 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.
Safety Information GV 7000A / 7003A 1.5.11 ALWAYS turn the engine off before servicing the machine. If the engine has electric start, disconnect the negative terminal on the battery before servicing the machine. 1.5.12 ALWAYS keep the fuel lines in good condition and properly connected. Leaking fuel and fumes are extremely explosive. 1.5.
2 Safety and information labels 2 Safety and information labels Your machine has adhesive labels containing the most important instructions and safety information. Make sure that all the labels are kept legible. Replace any missing or illegible labels. The item numbers for the labels are in the parts book. Item 100_0402_ls_0004.fm Label Description 1 Guaranteed sound power level. 2 DANGER! Asphyxiation hazard. Engines emit carbon monoxide.
Lifting and Transporting 3 GV 7000A / 7003A Lifting and Transporting Lifting the Machine This generator, while compact, is heavy enough to cause injury if proper lifting techniques are not used. Observe the following guidelines when lifting the generator. • Do not attempt to lift and carry the generator unassisted. Use appropriate lifting equipment such as slings, chains, hooks, ramps, or jacks.
GV 7000A / 7003A 4 4.1 Operation Operation Preparing the Machine for First Use Preparing for first use To prepare your machine for first use: 4.1.1 Make sure all loose packaging materials have been removed from the machine. 4.1.2 Check the machine and its components for damage. If there is visible damage, do not operate the machine! Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer immediately for assistance. 4.1.
Operation 4.2 GV 7000A / 7003A Power Requirements Wacker Neuson generator Model GV 7000A is designed to operate single-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model GV 7003A 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. Damage to tools or generator will occur.
GV 7000A / 7003A Operation If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, it can be calculated by multiplying its voltage and amperage requirements: Single Phase: VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS Three Phase: VOLTS x AMPS x 1.732 x 0.8 = WATTS 4.3 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.
Operation 4.4 GV 7000A / 7003A 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 7000A / 7003A 4.5 Operation Grounding the Generator CAUTION The neutral of this machine is not connected to ground. Under standard operating conditions, do not connect the frame PE stud to earth ground. Refer to local codes if machine is used to power a building or similar distribution system. wc_gr001286 4.6 Operating Heavy Loads Limit operations requiring the maximum rated output of the generator to 20–30 minutes.
Operation 4.7 GV 7000A / 7003A 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.

NEVER use gasoline or other types of low flashpoint solvents for cleaning the air cleaner. A fire or explosion could result. WARNING To service: 5.3.
GV 7000A / 7003A 5.4 Maintenance 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. 5.4.1 Remove the spark plug and inspect it. 5.4.
Maintenance 5.5 GV 7000A / 7003A 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.
GV 7000A / 7003A 5.6 Maintenance Long-Term Storage Before storing generator for a long period of time: 5.6.1 Turn the engine fuel valve to the OFF position. 5.6.2 Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor. Place open end of fuel line into a suitable container and open fuel valve to drain fuel from tank. Gasoline is extremely flammable. Drain fuel tank in a well ventilated area. DO NOT drain tank in an area with flames or sparks. WARNING wc_tx001625gb.fm 5.6.
