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 fo recom-
mendations. Never use gasoline or gasohol. Always insure that
the fuel is clean and free of all impurities.
The fuel pump on the unit is designed to provide a 2 foot lift. If
you requires a greater lift, a second fuel pump may be required.
Be sure to use fuel line clamps on all hose connections to prevent
them from leaking. 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.
A fuel return line must be run from the fuel return line fitting on the
top of the engine back to the supply tank. This line cannot be
routed to the fuel supply line but must be routed back to the
supply tank.
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 300 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 Yanmar diesel engine and
a 6 kw WINCO generator end. The Yanmar engine is a electric
key start engine with a low oil pressure protection.
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. See
page 11 for unit layout and mounting.
INITIAL START UP
CAUTION: ENGINE DAMAGE
Never operator this engine generator set for an extend period of
time under a noload or very light load condition. Doing so may
cause excessive oil usage and damage the engine.
Use the following checklist to verify the correct preparation of the
engine generator before starting.
