e. Always avoid hot muffl ers, exhaust manifolds,
and engine parts. They can cause severe
burns instantly.
f. The use of the engine-generator set must com-
ply with all national, state, and local codes.
TESTING POLICY
Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it
is fully checked for performance. The generator is
loaded to its full capacity, and the voltage, current
and frequency are carefully checked.
Rated output of generator is based on engineering
tests of typical units, and is subject to, and limited
by, the temperature, altitude, fuel, and other condi-
tions specifi ed by the manufacturer of the applicable
engines.
INTENDED USES
These engine generator sets have been designed
primarily for portable use. WT3000H: Two 120 volt
AC receptacles are provided in the end cover to
connect your loads (lights, portable tools, and small
appliances). WC5000H & WC6000H: Both 120 volt
and 240 volt receptacles are provided in the control
panel to plug in your loads (lights, portable tools, and
small appliances). These units are dual wound gen-
erators, therefore the 120 volt loads must be equally
split with 1/2 of the rated capacity available on each
of the two 120 volt circuits.
This portable unit requires large quantities of fresh
air for cooling the engine and generator. For safety,
long life and adequate performance, these units
should never be run in small compartments without
positive fresh air fl ow.
RESTRICTED USES
DO NOT remove from the cradle assembly. Re-
moval of the generator from the cradle assembly
my cause excessive vibration and damage to the
engine-generator set.
DO NOT install and operate this generator in a small
compartment., i.e. generator compartments of ve-
hicles, motor homes or travel trailers. These com-
partments will not allow enough free fl ow of fresh
air to reach the engine generator set for cooling and
will cause the unit to overheat damaging both the
engine and generator. Small compartments will also
develop hot spots where there is very little air fl ow
and may cause a fi re.
PLEASE NOTE There are 3rd party companies
making enclosures for generators that have been
properly engineered. The use of these 3rd party
enclosures is acceptable as long as they have been
certifi ed and meet current code.
DO NOT attempt to operate at 50 cycles. These
units are designed and governed to operate at 60
cycles only.
UNIT CAPABILITIES
GENERATOR CONNECTIONS
WT3000H: This generator is designed for 120 volt
alternating current (AC) use only. Two duplex outlets
are provided for connection to various loads.
WC5000H & WC6000H: 120 volt and 240 volt
receptacles are provided for connection to vari-
ous loads. The diagram below represents a typical
4000 watt generator. Receptacles A and B are the
two 120 volt duplex receptacles. Up to 2000 watts
at 120 volts (16.6 Amps) can be taken from the
generator at each of the receptacles. This genera-
tor produces 120 and 240 volt, 60 Hz (Hertz), AC
(Alternating Current).
The WINCO Industrial series generators have the
EXTRA Heavy FULL POWER winding to allow the
use of all the power available from the generator at
either 120 volts, or 240 volts or any combination of
120 or 240 volts. You are not restricted to splitting
up your large 120 volt loads or having to choose be-
tween powering them and/or a 240 volt load. There
are no switches or connectors to change. Simply
plug in and use the power without being concerned
about overloading the generator winding as long as
the load doesn’t exceed the size of the generator.
Check the appliance or tool nameplates for the cur-
rent and voltage to insure compatibility. Remember
that power taken from receptacle C reduces the
power available at both A and B and vice versa.
