1. Lubrication - Before starting the engine, fill the
crankcase to the proper level with a good quality oil. The
recommended grade of oil and quantity of oil required is
listed in the engine operators manual. The necessity of
using the correct oil, and keeping the crankcase full
cannot be overemphasized. Engine failures resulting from
inadequate or improper lubricant are considered abuse
and are not covered by the generator or the engine
manufacturers warranty.
2. Diesel Fuel and Fuel Line Connections - Always use a
good grade of # 2 diesel fuel. For cold weather, blended #
1 fuel may be used - See engine operators manual for
recommendations. Never use gasoline or gasohol.
Always insure that the fuel is clean and free of all
impurities.
The unit is supplied with a fuel line installation kit. This kit
includes the 37 degree flare fittings and a short section of
fuel hose for the fuel connections. The hose is used to
connect to the vehicle fuel supply and return lines. The fuel
pump on the unit is designed to provide a 4 foot lift. If the
fuel tank requires a greater lift, the fuel pump may be
relocated to the fuel tank level to ‘push’ the fuel up to 12
feet above the pump outlet. Consult the factory for other
special applications.
WARNING: FIRE
Diesel fuel is flammable and can be ignited to cause or
enlarge fires when proper precautions are not taken.
Never use fuel that has been stored for an extended
period of time. Fuel will lose its volatile properties and you
will be left with a ‘gum’ / varnish residue. This varnish like
substance will clog the filters, fuel lines and injectors. Old,
contaminated, stale fuel will not burn properly. The use of
a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL, or an equivalent will
minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits. If a unit has
been out of operation for an extended period of time, it is
best to drain old fuel from the engine and replace with
fresh fuel before attempting to start.
3. Battery connection - These remote start engine
generator sets require customer supplied battery cables.
Connections are made directly to the engine starter
solenoid post positive (+) and the engine frame negative
(-). The battery cable size is determined by the length of
the cable run. The engine starter requires a minimum of
300 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) for proper starting
performance.
These generator sets must be started and operated with a
twelve (12) volt battery. The 12 volt battery must be rated at
235 CCA or larger. For units mounted in vehicles, it is
recommended that you use the vehicle battery. Follow
the battery manufacturers recommendations for servicing
and charging prior to use. Connect the battery to the
electric start system using cables that are sized for the
length of run and voltage drop allowable.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
These electric start engines are NEGATIVE GROUND.
Use extreme caution when connecting the battery.
Connect the NEGATIVE battery terminal to GROUND.
For your safety always connect the positive battery cable to
the “bat+” terminal first. Then connect the negative battery
cable to the “bat-” terminal. Make sure all connections are
clean and tight. Reverse the sequence when
disconnecting, disconnect the negative cable first. To
prevent interference with the vehicle charging circuit, the
battery charging circuit on the generator set is removed.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
Lead acid batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas when
charging. Keep sparks, flames, and burning cigarettes
away from the battery. Ventilate the area when charging or
using the battery in an enclosed space. Lead acid
batteries contain sulfuric acid, which causes severe burns.
If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, flush well with water.
For contact with eyes, get immediate medical attention.
OPERATION/INSTALLATION
This engine generator set consists of a Hatz 9.9 hp diesel
engine and a 6 kw generator end. The Hatz engine is a
electric key start engine with internal diagnostics. The
engine is equipped with both low oil pressure protection
(3) and high cylinder head temperature protection (4). If
either should occur the engine will shut it self off and
display a shutdown light.
Two additional lights will tell you the unit is running (1) and
battery charging system is working (2). The battery
charging system on these units has been disabled so as
not to infer with the charging system on your vehicle. For
that reason this lamp may stay lit. Lamp #5 is a preheat
which is not used ( See the engine operators manual for
addition information).
This generator set has been pre-wired to allow the use of
a second key switch at a remote location to start the
engine generator set. See diagram on page 12.
This unit can be mounted inside of a compartment as
long as attention is paid to proper cooling air flow. The
exhaust which is turned down may be routed to any
location of your choosing.
