Product Information

In situations where a damaged product can be repaired by either a factory-technician or end-user, GenPartSupply.com may opt to provide replacement parts and/or a service technician instead of returning the whole item

The heart of the GP5500 is the 389cc OHV Generac engine, which is built with longevity in mind. This engine is designed to run for years without an issue and comes with splash lubricant to prevent any of the interior parts from wearing down early. Unfortunately, Generac didn’t pay as much attention to the components that the engine relies on – leaks between the carburetor and engine are a common complaint among owners of this generator, and repairing a leak can be costly after investing in the generator itself.Please note that you will be responsible for the additional freight costs in the following instances:

Covered circuit breakers – Generac designed this generator to work outside and covered the outlets with watertight lids to prevent water damage to the generator’s wiring. Digital hour meter – this gives a simple readout of how much fuel the generator has left and takes the guesswork out of figuring out how long you have until needing a refueling break. Portable generator should never be operated inside an enclosed space or contrary to any provision or warning contained in your Owner's Manual. However, portable generators are intended to be used during extreme weather and for the sensitive electronics on them, it is best if some sort of open covering can be used to protect it from direct rain or snow. Great options would be a car port or boat canopy with four open sides or a tarp hung from a tree. It is very important to provide adequate ventilation for the generator, so any sort of protection should be at least five feet from any side (including the top of the unit) while in use. Additionally, a portable generator should always be stored inside when not in use to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. BE ADVISED, the generator should NEVER be used in any enclosed space including, without limitation, a shed, home, garage, trailer, or vehicle, even if the doors are left open, as this can be a serious fire hazard and carbon monoxide risk.

Part #0H75100SRV

The downside to the high-output engine on this generator is that it’s something of a fuel hog. Even at half-load, the generator guzzles down 7.2 gallons of gas in just 10 hours. That means that if you’re using the generator for an entire day in the field and working the engine on a number of power tools, there’s a good chance that you’ll need to let it cool down and refuel. However, for anyone using the generator for work deep in the yard or contractors who only need to power a handful of smaller tools, the large fuel tank should provide enough runtime to see you through the work. Outlets Low-oil shutdown – this mechanism built into the generator automatically powers down the engine when the oil volume runs low, preventing the engine from suffering costly damage.
