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-Diesel” for the closest
engine repair center or ask the dealer from whom you purchased the power
plant.
1. Change the oil as recommended in the engine operators manual. It is usually
required to change oil after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours
thereafter under normal operating conditions. Change engine oil more
frequently if the engine is operated under heavy load, or in high ambient
temperatures. See engine operators manual.
a. Remove oil drain plug at base of the engine and drain the oil with the engine
warm.
b. Replace oil drain plug.
c. 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.
d. Replace filler plug.
2. 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, but DO NOT OVERFILL!
Fill level is checked by screwing the dipstick/plug COMPLETELY into the
threaded fittting. Oil should register at the the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.
3. Servicing Oil Filter: Consult engine operators manual for recommendations,
procedures and intervals. Service more often if necessary if very dirty.
Replace the cartridge using only original equipment parts available at any
engine service center.
4. Servicing Air Cleaners :Consult engine operators manual for recommenda-
tions, procedures and intervals. Service more often if necessary if very dirty.
Replace the cartridge using only original equipment parts available at any
engine service center.
LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
These engine generator sets come equipped standard with a low oil pressure
shutdown circuit. The energized to run low oil pressure safety shut-down /
warning system is controlled by a normally OPEN pressure switch.
This low oil warning system will automatically stop the engine well before the
oil pressure reaches an operational danger point. This feature is designed to
prevent costly repairs and downtime.
The lube oil pressure shut-down system uses a special switch mounted in
the engine crankcase to sense the oil pressure. If a low oil pressure condition
should occur during operation, the switch will open and interrupt the fuel
solenoid coil, “killing” the engine.
Use of the oil safety shutdown system on applications that are subject to shock,
bumping or severe angles of operation (in excess of 15 degrees) should be
avoided. This is especially true if an unexpected shutdown would cause a
safety hazard or serious inconvenience for the operator. To disable the low
oil pressure safety feature, connect a jumper wire to bridge the contacts on
the oil pressure sensor unit mounted on the engine crankcase.
GENERATOR CARE
Proper care and maintenance of the generator is necessary to insure a long trouble
WIRING
Plug your tools such as drills, saws, blowers, sump pump and other items to
be powered directly into the generator receptacles. Before plugging in all the tools
and cord sets, recheck the rating of the generator set. Be sure it can handle the
intended load and is compatible with the voltage, phase, and current ratings.
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 gen-
erator is being connected to an existing distribu-
tion 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 appliance 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. (NEMA L14-30 {30
Amp} or Hubbell Spec. #CS 6365 {50 Amp}) 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.
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.
