the 120/240 volt (series) connection. Use a 40 or 45
Amp single pole breaker for the 120 volt only (parallel)
connection.
b. Wire the generator output to a 120/240 volt, four
wire twistlock 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
applications requiring the unit to be moved or for and
security. 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 protect and limit the load applied to the
generator will cause the generator to produce low voltage
and may damage the engine generator set. With the 120/
240v connection, the 120 volt loads must be balanced to
prevent overloading either of the two generator windings. It
may also cause severe damage to the loads connected to
the generator at that time due to low voltage. 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 worldwide
engine service organization. A listing of service centers is
included with the engine operators literature package.
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 250 hours
thereafter under normal operating conditions. If the engine
is not used frequently, change the oil every 12 months,
regardless of the actual number of hours of operation.
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.
3. Servicing Air Cleaners: 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.
LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
This low oil warning system will automatically stop the
engine before the oil pressure reaches an operational
danger point. This feature is designed to prevent costly
repairs and downtime.
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.
GENERATOR CARE
Proper care and maintenance of the generator is
necessary to insure a long trouble
free life.
1. Exercising The Generator - The
generator should be operated every
three to four weeks. It should be
operated for a period of time
sufficient to warm the unit up and to
dry out any moisture that has accumulated in the
windings. If left this moisture can cause corrosion in the
winding. Frequent operation of the engine generator set
will also insure that the set is operating properly should it
be needed in an emergency.
2. Generator Maintenance - Any major generator service
including the installation or replacement of parts should
be performed only by a qualified electrical service man.
USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED REPAIR PARTS.
a. Bearing - The bearing used in these generators is
a heavy duty double sealed ball bearing. They require
no maintenance or lubrication.
b. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been
utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked or
otherwise damaged, replace it. Using damaged or
cracked receptacles can be dangerous both to the
operator and to the equipment.
