Tank Fuel Solenoid Converter Engine
1 2 3 4
Reference number 1 is the fuel tank. No regulator is re-
quired but the tank must have a liquid withdrawal drop tube
installed in it and a liquid valve on the tank.
Reference number 2 through 4 are installed on the en-
gine generator set.
LUBRICATION
Before starting the engine, check the oil level in the
crankcase. If it is low, refill to the full mark with the proper
weight/grade of oil as recommended by the engine manu-
facturer’s maintenance instructions. The necessity of us-
ing the correct oil, and keeping the crankcase full cannot
be over emphasized. Failure to use the proper oil and
keep the crankcase properly filled will cause excessive
engine wear and shorten its useful life.
COOLANT
Before starting the engine, check the coolant level in ra-
diator. If it is low, refill as specified in the engine manufac-
turer’s maintenance instructions. The radiator should be
filled to about 1 inch below the filler neck.For additional
information on engine coolant requirements see engine
manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
**** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - In the following battery installa-
tion procedure, check to be sure the selector switch re-
mains in the “stop” position.
A customer supplied twelve-volt BCI group 24 battery
rated 650 CCA (minimum) is required to complete the in-
stallation. Install the highest CCA rated battery available
for best cold weather starting performance. Use only Main-
tenance Free batteries, this will reduce the need to refill
the battery with water. Gel batteries should not be used
with the battery tender installed in the generator enclosure.
****WARNING*****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - Always connect the positive
battery cable first and the negative cable last. When dis-
connecting a battery always disconnect the negative cable
first and the positive cable last. Failure to follow these
steps can cause arcing at the battery post which can
cause damage to both the engine and the engine control
module.
Observe polarities: Connect the positive (+) battery ter-
minal to the (+) cable from the starter; the negative (-) bat-
tery terminal is connected to the negative cable (ground)
from the engine generator assembly.
NOTE: Alway make sure that a new battery is fully
charged before installing it on a generator set. Failure to
do so can cause damage to the engine control module in
the generator set.
All connections must be clean and tight. Check the elec-
trolyte (fluid) in the battery periodically to be sure it is
above the plates. Never allow the battery to remain in a
discharged condition.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER &
BLOCKHEATER
A two-stage battery tender is provided on all PSS series
generators. This battery tender charges at a rate of 750
mA until the battery is fully charged and then automatically
switches to a 13.2 VDC float charger. The charger has an
indicator light on it, red indicates it is charging, and green
indicates it is in the storage mode (float charge). This
charger is mounted on the engine generator set just below
the engine control panel. .
** NOTICE **
The trickle charger is not intended to recharge a battery
which has become completely discharged. It is designed
to produce just enough current to maintain a fully charged
battery.
This battery tender requires a circuit breaker protected
AC circuit from your distribution panel be run out to the
engine generator set. These AC wires can be run in the
same conduit as the other AC leads from the generator. It
is suggested that this circuit be fused for 15 amps, then
both the battery charger and the block heater can be con-
nected to the same circuit. A 120 volt duplex receptacle is
mounted on the generator just below the engine control
panel, the battery tender is shipped already plugged into
the receptacle.
The engine blockheater has been prewired with a 120
volt plug which can be plugged into the other side of the
duplex receptacle after wiring 120 power feed to the recep-
tacle. The blockheater is a 1000 watt, tank type heater with
an internal thermostat that will turn the heater on when the
water temperature drops to 60 degrees F. and off when
the water temperature reaches 80 Degrees F.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE- Protect the switch from con-
struction grit and metal chips to prevent a malfunction or
shortened life of the switch. Contactors returned for war-
ranty consideration wilth foreign material inside of them will
not be warranted.
