‘Hard Wiring’ this unit directly into a temporary construction
site electrical system is NOT A SIMPLE DO-IT-YOURSELF
JOB. For your safety all wiring must be done by a qualified
electrician and conform to the National Electric Code and
comply with all state and local codes and regulations.
Check with local authorities before proceeding.
WARNING: PERSONAL DANGER
A fully isolated, double pole double throw manual transfer
switch must be installed any time a generator is being
connected to an existing distribution system.
1. These engine generator sets are designed for
portable heavy duty commercial use. Receptacles are
provided on the control panel to permit 120 and 240 volt
portable appliances and tools to be plugged directly into
them. Please note that the 3 wire 240 volt receptacle(s)
on these units are designed to power only 240 volt
tools. There are 2 hot and a ground wire, but no neutral
connection in the 3 wire 240 volt receptacle. Split 120/
240 volt ‘TemPower’ service requires the installation of
a 4 wire receptacle (2 hot, 1 ground, and 1 neutral).
Consult a licensed electrician for wiring the TemPower
plug and connecting it as temporary service.
To connect these units directly to an un-powered,
isolated construction site TemPower panel, have your
electrician select one of the following methods:
a. Wire the distribution panel directly to the
generator output using a fine strand (flexible) motor
lead wire. DO NOT by-pass the generator control
panel mainline circuit breakers.
b. Wire a 120/240 volt, four wire twist-lock
receptacle. (Hubbel Spec. #CS 6365) The use of
locking receptacles and locking plugs provides the
convenience of quickly disconnecting the wiring for
moving the unit and security on the job site. The
plug also allows non electrical workers to safely
reconnect the power after moving the unit and
prevents the plug from being accidentally removed
by bumping or vibration.
2. If the generator set is connected to existing (electrical)
wiring circuits (NOT RECOMMENDED with the HP
series), it is permitted only through a fully isolated
manual transfer switch. The transfer switch prevents
damage to the generator and other circuit components if
main line power is restored while the generator is
connected. Installing a transfer switch also permits the
use of normal fusing.
3. Many homes and construction sites are wired for at
least 60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much greater
than the capacity of these portable generators. When
installing the generator at these sites, a secondary
emergency distribution panel may have to be installed,
such as the Emergency Transfer/Service (ET/S) system
available through your Winco dealer. The emergency
distribution panel must be installed by a licensed
electrician according to all applicable codes. The
electrician will move the critical circuits to be powered
during the outage to the emergency panel. Keep in
mind only a limited amount of amperage is available
from the generator set. Some circuit breakers may still
have to be turned off to prevent an overload on the
generator during the initial start up. See the nameplate
on your generator for the amperage capabilities of your
unit.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load applied to the
generator will cause the generator to produce low voltage
and may damage the engine generator set. It may also
cause severe damage to the loads connected to the
generator at that time. Improper loading of the generator set
constitutes abuse and will not be covered by warranty.
ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required contact an
authorized engine service center. The manufacturer of these
engines has established an excellent world-wide engine
service organization. Engine service is very likely available
from a nearby authorized dealer or distributor. Check the
yellow pages of your local telephone directory under
“Engines-Gasoline” for the closest engine repair center or
ask the dealer from whom you purchased the power plant.
Change the oil
After the first five hours of operation and every 25 hours (50
hours for engines with oil filters) thereafter under normal
operating conditions. Change engine oil more often if the
engine is operated under heavy load, or in high ambient
temperatures.
a. Remove oil drain plug at base of the engine and
drain the oil with the engine warm.
b. Replace oil drain plug.
c. Change the oil filter if applicable
d. Remove oil filler plug and refill with new oil.
Refer to the table in the engine manual for the
proper grade of oil based on your operating
temperature.
e. Replace filler plug.
Checking the Oil Level
The oil level must always be checked before the engine is
started. Take care to remove any dirt or debris from around
the oil fill plug before removing. Be sure the oil level is
maintained. FILL TO POINT OF OVERFLOWING or on units
with the extended oil fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.
Cartridge Air Cleaner
Remove and clean cartridge yearly or after every 25 hours,
whichever occurs first. Service more often if necessary.
Clean by tapping gently on flat surface. If very dirty, replace
the cartridge using only original equipment parts available at
any engine service center.
Do not use petroleum solvents, such as kerosene, to
attempt to clean the cartridge. They may cause deterioration
of the cartridge. DO NOT OIL CARTRIDGE, DO NOT USE
PRESSURIZED AIR TO CLEAN OR DRY CARTRIDGE.
Dual Element Air Cleaner
Clean and re-oil foam pre-cleaner at three month intervals or
every 25 hours, whichever occurs first. Service more often
