OPERATING THE UNIT
A. SETTING THE JACKS
. Move the two rear jacks from the transport position to
the run position.
2. Rotate the front jack from the transport position to the
run position.
3. Level the unit using the three jacks before starting
the unit up.
WARNING - POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Be sure to return the jacks to the transport position be-
fore trying to move the unit. If you don't the jacks maybe
damaged, rendering them useless.
B. SELECTING THE CORRECT VOLTAGE
A variety of voltages are available from the four position
selector switch. The four basic connection patterns are,
Delta (20/240), Low or Parallel WYE (20/208), High
WYE (277/480) and Single phase 20/240. See page 9
for the different voltages available in each of the voltage
configurations.
Before starting this unit be sure you have the selector
switch set for the right voltage. You must depress the
safety switch below the selector switch to change the po-
sition of the voltage selector switch. If the unit is running
depressing this switch will kill the engine generator set.
If you have any doubts as to the voltage in your area
compare your incoming power or load name plates to the
voltage table below.
CIRCUIT BREAKER SELECTION
After you have selected the correct voltage for your ap-
plication and locked the selector switch, do the same
with the main line circuit breakers. The left hand circuit
breaker is used for all voltage selections except 480 volt
in which case you would use the right hand breaker.
Failure to use the correct breaker will either give you no
breaker protection at all or cause the breaker to trip early.
C. STARTUP CHECKLIST
Before initial start up and each subsequent start complete
the following checklist:
. Check oil level, refill with proper grade oil.
2. Check coolant level, refill with proper mixture of
coolant. See engine manual.
3. Check for loose bolts or hardware.
4. Check tire pressure. (35 psi)
5. Trailer level to within 5 degrees.
6. Battery securely fastened, connection clean and
tight, and proper fluid level.
7. Fuel tank filled with the proper grade of diesel
fuel.
8. Check the fan belt for tightness and excessive
wear.
9. Check hoses and clamps for leakage.
0. Check the air cleaner indicator. Service only
when indicated. Do not over-service.
. Clean out dust cup on the air cleaner.
D. ELECTRIC STARTING
(Normal portable use)
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO JUMP/BOOST START THIS
UNIT. TO DO SO MAY DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC
MICROPROCESSOR IN THE ENGINE CONTROL. RE-
CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH A BATTERY CHARGER.
. Select the desired voltage on the voltage selector
switch.
2. Turn off both main line circuit breakers.
3. Depress the MANUAL mode button on the control
panel. The small LED light next to it should come on.
4. Press the START button- The DSE-730 will send a
signal to the glow plug solenoid on the engine. Pre-
heating the engine for about 0 seconds at the end of
that time it will engage the fuel rack solenoid and the
starter. This will start the cranking cycle (0 seconds
on and 0 seconds off).
NOTE: There is no start delay in this mode of operation.
If the engine fails to start during this cranking period the
starter motor is disengaged and goes into a rest mode
after which a second attempt is made to start the engine.
Should this sequence continue through 3 cranking cycles
the start sequence will be stopped and the display will
show "FAILED TO START".
All engine functions are controlled by the DSE-730
controller. Once the unit is running the control will display
the engine information as well as the generator informa-
tion by scrolling down through the controller. See page 5
for instructions on moving through the DSE-730 display
screens.
The AC output readings displayed on the DSE-730 are
collected through the AC interface harness wired in the
generator control box. Any shutdowns related to the AC
output are a function of the controller are based on infor-
mation collected in the DSE-730 via this AC harness.
5. After the engine is running at proper speed, adjust
the voltage to the desired level using the external
voltage trim rheostat.
6. Turn on the proper main line breaker (either high
or low voltage) and padlock the lock bar to prevent the
incorrect breaker from being turned on.
