When equipped with an integral or add−on Auto− matic Generator Starting System (AGS) control,exhaust carbon monoxide (CO), electric shock, andmoving parts hazards are possible due to unex− pected starting. Turn off AGS whenever performingmaintenance or service, when the vehicle is storedbetween uses, is awaiting service, or is parked in agarage or other confined area.
Electricity, fuel, exhaust, moving parts and batteries present hazards which can result in severe personal injury or death.
ENGINE EXHAUST IS DEADLY
• Inspect for exhaust leaks at every startup and after every eight hours of running.
• Learn the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning in the Operator’s Manual.
• Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is running unless the vehicle is equipped with a working carbon monoxide detector.
• Do not operate the genset when the vehicle is in a confined space, such as a garage.
• Disable the automatic genset starting feature of an inverter-charger or other automatic starting device before storing the vehicle or parking it in a garage or other confined space.
• The exhaust system must be installed in accordance with the genset Installation Manual.
• Engine cooling air must not be used for heating working or living spaces or compartments.
GENERATOR VOLTAGE IS DEADLY
• Disable the automatic genset starting feature(AGS) of an inverter−charger or other automatic starting device before servicing the genset to avoid electric shock from an unexpected start.
• Generator electrical output connections must be made by a trained and experienced electrician in accordance with applicable codes.
• The genset must not be connected to the public utility or any other source of electrical power.
Back-feed could lead to electrocution of utility personnel and damage to equipment. An approved switching device must be used to prevent interconnections.
• Use caution when working on live electrical equipment. Remove jewelry, make sure clothing and shoes are dry, stand on a dry wooden platform or rubber insulating mat and use tools with insulated handles.
DIESEL FUEL IS COMBUSTIBLE
• Do not smoke or turn electrical switches ON or
OFF where fuel fumes are present or in areas sharing ventilation with fuel tanks or equipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, arc-producing equipment and all other sources of ignition well away.
• Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and separated or shielded from electrical wiring.

• Do not smoke.
• To reduce arcing when disconnecting or reconnecting battery cables, always disconnect the negative (−) battery cable first and reconnect it last.
FLAMMABLE VAPOR CAN CAUSE A
DIESEL ENGINE TO OVERSPEED
Flammable vapor can cause a diesel engine to overspeed and become difficult to stop, resulting in possible fire, explosion, severe personal injury and death. Do not operate a diesel-powered genset
where a flammable vapor environment can be
created by fuel spill, leak, etc. The owners and operators of the genset are solely responsible for operating the genset safely.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Keep children away from the genset.
• Do not use evaporative starting fluids. They are highly explosive.
• To prevent accidental or remote starting while working on the genset, disconnect the negative (−) battery cable at the battery.
• Let the engine cool down before removing the coolant pressure cap or opening the coolant drain. Hot coolant under pressure can spray out and cause severe burns.
• Keep the genset and its compartment clean.
Excess oil and oily rags can catch fire. Dirt and gear stowed in the compartment can restrict cooling air.
• Make sure all fasteners are secure and torqued properly.
• Do not work on the genset when mentally or physically fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs.
• You must be trained and experienced to make adjustments while the genset is running—hot, moving or electrically live parts can cause severe personal injury or death.
• Used engine oil has been identified by some
U. S. state and federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. Do not ingest, inhale, or contact used oil or its vapors.
• Ethylene glycol, used as engine antifreeze, is toxic to humans and animals. Clean up spills and dispose of used engine coolant in accordance with local environmental regulations.
• Keep multi-class ABC fire extinguishers handy.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
Diesel fuel is combustible and can cause severe personal injury or death. Do not smoke near diesel fuel tanks or equipment.
Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, electrical arcs, switches and arc-producing equipment and all other sources of ignition well away. Keep a type
ABC fire extinguisher in the vehicle.
Use clean, fresh No. 2 diesel fuel (ASTM 2-D) when the outdoor ambient temperature is above freezing, and No. 1 diesel fuel (ASTM 1-D) when below freezing. The fuel should have a Cetane number of at least 45 for reliable starting.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use API (American Petroleum Institute) performance Class CH-4, CG-4 or CF-4 engine oil, which may be in combination with performance Class SJ,
SH or SG (for example: CH-4/SJ). Also look for the
SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) viscosity
grade. Referring to Chart 1, choose the viscosity
grade appropriate for the outdoor ambient temperatures expected until the next scheduled oil change.
STARTING BATTERIES
These gensets have a 12 volt, direct current (DC) starting and control system. See Specifications
(Page 30) for minimum battery requirements (cold cranking amperes) for genset starting.
Regular, monthly maintenance of batteries may be required. See MAINTAINING THE BATTERY AND
Reliable genset starting and starter service life depend upon adequate battery system capacity and proper maintenance.

OPERATOR’S CONSOLE
The operator’s console (Figure 3) has the following
features:
Control Switch − This switch is used to start and stop the genset, prime the engine fuel system and restore the fault code (blinking status light).
Status Light − This is an LED (light emitting diode) in the control switch which blinks rapidly during preheat and cranking. (Preheat is the period of time prior to engine cranking when the glow plugs preheat the combustion chambers. The time is automatically varied by the genset controller on the basis of engine temperature.) After the genset starts up, this light stays on continuously, indicating that the genset is running and that the starter has disconnected. Also, if the genset shuts down, this light blinks in a coded fashion to indicate the nature of the
shutdown (see Troubleshooting, Page 21).
Line Circuit Breaker(s) − The line circuit breaker(s) protect the AC power leads connected to the genset.
Engine Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick − The oil dipstick is attached to the fill cap and is marked ADD and FULL.
Coolant Recovery Tank Fill Cap − The recovery tank provides for coolant expansion. Replenish the normal loss of coolant by filling here.
Coolant Pressure Cap − The coolant pressure cap is accessible by removing the access plate on the control console. It provides for a pressurized engine cooling system. Fill coolant here when refilling the system.
Fuses F1, F2 and F3 − These fuses are accessible by removing the access plate on the control console. They protect the control circuits of the genset.
Hour Meter (Optional)− The hour meter records the total running time of the genset. It cannot be reset.
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL
The vehicle may be equipped with a remote control panel having a Control Switch and Preheat/Diag-
nostics Light. In addition, it may have an hour meter and the following engine gauges:
Oil Pressure Gauge − The oil pressure gauge indicates the presence of engine oil pressure.
Water Temperature Gauge − The water temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature.
Voltmeter − The voltmeter indicates battery voltage.

Operation
WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless gas. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
•
Dizziness
•
Muscular Twitching
• Throbbing in Temples
• Headache
• Weakness and Sleepiness • Inability to Think Clearly
•
•
Nausea
Vomiting
IF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCES ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET OUT INTO THE FRESH
AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut down the genset and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired.
Never sleep in the vehicle with the genset running unless the vehicle is equipped with a working carbon monoxide detector. Primary protection against poisoning due to inhaling carbon monoxide, however, consists of proper installation of the exhaust system and inspections every day (every eight hours of operation) for visible and audible exhaust system leaks.
CONDUCTING THE PRE-START CHECKS
Before the first start of the day and after every eight hours of operation, inspect the genset as instructed under CONDUCTING GENERAL INSPECTIONS
(Page 13). Keep a log of maintenance and the hours run and perform any maintenance that may be due.
See Returning the Genset to Service (Page 11) if the vehicle has been in storage.
Before each start:
1. Make sure all vehicle CO detectors are working.
2. Check for signs of fuel and exhaust leaks and for damage to the exhaust system.
3. Turn off the air conditioner and other large appliances.
PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system should be primed after replacing the fuel filter or running the genset out of fuel. To prime the fuel system hold the control switch down in its Stop position for at least 1 minute.
STARTING THE GENSET
Start the genset from the genset control panel or remote control panel inside the vehicle.
1. Push and hold the switch at START until the genset starts. The status indicator light on the switch flashes during preheat and cranking. It will come on solid when the starter disconnects, indicating that the genset is running. (Depending on how cold it is, preheat can take up to 15 seconds, extending the time that the light blinks.)
CAUTION
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the starter motor. Do not crank for more than 20 seconds at a time.
Wait at least 2 minutes before trying again.
2. See Troubleshooting (Page 21) if the genset does not start after three tries.
3. For top performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the engine warm up for two minutes before connecting appliances.
4. Monitor the engine gauges if the remote panel is so equipped. Normal readings during operation are as follows:
Oil Pressure: Approximate center of scale
Temperature: 160
°
-220
°
F (71
°
-104
°
C)
DC Voltage: 14-15 volts.
5. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks. Stop the genset immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak and have it repaired.
7
STOPPING THE GENSET
Turn off the air conditioner and other large appliances and let the genset run for two minutes to cool down. Then press the switch to STOP to stop the genset.
RESTARTING THE GENSET
See Troubleshooting (Page 21) if the genset shuts down abnormally.
LOADING THE GENSET
The genset can power AC motors, air conditioners,
AC/DC converters, battery chargers and other appliances. How much appliance load* can be powered depends upon the genset power rating. The genset will shut down or its circuit breakers will trip if the sum of the loads exceeds genset power. (If the genset shuts down, the status light will probably display Fault Code No. 11, 13, 22 or 38. See Trouble-
To avoid overloading the genset and causing shutdowns, compare the sum of the loads of the appliances that are likely to be used at the same time to
the power rating of the genset. Use Table 1 or the
ratings on the appliances themselves (if so marked) to obtain the individual appliance loads. It may be
necessary to run fewer appliances at the same time—the sum of the loads must not be greater than genset rating.
The genset may shut down due to overload when a large motor or air conditioner is started or cycles off and then on again, even though the sum of the loads is less than genset rating. The reason for this is that a motor’s startup load is much larger than its running load. It may be necessary to run fewer ap-
pliances when large motors and air conditioners are cycling on and off.
Maximum power decreases as altitude increases because air density decreases. For every 1000-foot
(305 m) increase in elevation you can expect power
to decrease approximately 3 percent. Table 2
shows the results of typical calculations. It may be
necessary to run fewer appliances at higher altitudes.

* This table does not take into account the effect circuit breakers may have in limiting maximum power.
Commercial Genset Applications
Maximum genset power (nameplate rating) is
7500 watts in an ambient of 85° F (29° C), but only
6000 watts in an ambient of 120° F (50° C)—the maximum operating temperature. Also, continuous operation at up to 80 percent of maximum power
(6000 watts) is acceptable.
* Appliance load and genset power are measured in terms of watts (W) or kilowatts (kW), where 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1000 watts (W).
8
RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKERS
If a circuit breaker in the main power distribution
panel of the vehicle or on the genset (Figure 4) trips,
either a circuit shorted or too many appliances were running. Note that the genset will continue to run after a circuit breaker trips.
If a circuit breaker trips, disconnect or turn off as many loads as possible and reset the circuit breaker. (Push the circuit breaker to OFF to reset it and then to ON to reconnect the circuit.) If the circuit breaker trips right away, either the electrical distribution system has a short or the circuit breaker is faulty. Call a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker does not trip, reconnect the appliances, one by one, up to a total load that does not overload the genset or cause the circuit breaker to trip. If a circuit breaker trips right away when an appliance is connected, the appliance probably has a short.
Electrical appliances and tools must be used and maintained properly and be properly grounded to cause the line circuit breakers to trip when short circuits occur.
WARNING
Short circuits in electrical appliances and tools can cause fire and electrical shock leading to severe personal injury or death. Read and follow the equipment and tool manufacturer’s instructions and warnings regarding use, maintenance and proper grounding.
CONNECTING TO UTILITY POWER
When the vehicle has provisions for connecting to utility power, such as a cord for plugging into a power outlet receptacle, it must also have an approved device to keep the genset and utility from being interconnected. See the genset Installation Manual for more information.
WARNING
Interconnecting the genset and the public utility (or any other power source) can lead to the electrocution of personnel working on the utility lines, damage to equipment and fire. An approved switching device must be used to prevent interconnections.

OPERATING IN COLD WEATHER
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is appropriate for the cold weather temperatures. See ENGINE OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS (Page 5). Be sure to
change the oil if a sudden drop in temperature occurs.
OPERATING IN HOT WEATHER
Pay particular attention to the following items when operating the genset in hot weather:
1. Make sure nothing blocks airflow to and from the genset.
2. Make sure engine oil viscosity is appropriate for the ambient temperatures. See ENGINE OIL
3. Keep the genset clean.
4. Perform maintenance due. See PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (Page 12).
OPERATING AT HIGH ALTITUDE
For the effect of altitude on maximum power, see
OPERATING IN DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS
Pay particular attention to the following items when operating the genset in dusty environments:
1. Do not let dirt and debris accumulate inside the genset compartment. Keep the genset clean.
2. Perform air cleaner maintenance more often.
See PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
3. Change engine oil more often. See PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (Page 12).
4. Keep containers of engine oil that have been opened tightly closed to keep out dust.
BREAKING IN A NEW ENGINE
Proper engine break-in on a new genset or on one with a rebuilt engine is essential for top engine performance and acceptable oil consumption. Run the genset at approximately 1/2 rated power for the first
2 hours and then at 3/4 rated power for 2 more
hours. See LOADING THE GENSET (Page 8).
Proper engine oil and oil level are especially critical during break-in because of the higher engine temperatures that can be expected. Change the oil if not appropriate for the ambient temperatures during break-in. See ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
(Page 5). Check oil level twice a day or every
4 hours during the first 24 hours of operation and change the oil and oil filter after the first 50 hours of operation.
EXERCISING THE GENSET
Exercise the genset at least 2 hours each month if use is infrequent. Run the genset at approximately
1/2 rated power. See LOADING THE GENSET
(Page 8). A single two hour exercise period is bet-
ter than several shorter periods.
Exercising a genset drives off moisture, re-lubricates the engine, replaces stale fuel and removes oxides from electrical contacts. The result is better starting, more reliable operation and longer engine life.
10
STORING THE GENSET
Proper storage is essential for preserving top genset performance and reliability when the genset cannot be exercised regularly and will be idle for more than 120 days.
Storing the Genset
1. Push the genset line circuit breaker OFF
2. Change the engine oil and attach a tag indicating oil viscosity. See ENGINE OIL REC-
3. Disconnect the battery cables (negative [−] cable first) from the starting battery and store the battery according to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations. See MAINTAINING
THE BATTERY AND BATTERY CONNEC-
4. Plug the exhaust tail pipe to keep out dirt, moisture, bugs, etc.
5. Close the fuel supply valve (if so equipped).
Returning the Genset to Service
1. Check the oil tag on the genset and change the oil if the viscosity indicated is not appropriate for the temperatures expected. See ENGINE OIL
2. Reconnect the starting battery (negative [−] cable last). See MAINTAINING THE BATTERY
AND BATTERY CONNECTIONS (Page 16).
3. Remove the plug from the exhaust tailpipe.
4. Change the air filter element if it is dirty
5. Open the fuel supply valve (if so equipped).
6. Inspect the genset. See CONDUCTING GEN-
7. Push the genset line circuit breaker ON
(Page 9) when the genset is ready to power
appliances.
11
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is essential for top perfor-
mance and long genset life. Use Table 3 as a guide
for normal periodic maintenance. In hot and dusty environments some maintenance procedures should be performed more frequently, as indicated by the footnotes in the table. Keeping a log of main-
Maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any engine repair establishment or individual. However, warranty work must be completed by an authorized Onan dealer.

CONDUCTING GENERAL INSPECTIONS
Inspect the genset before the first start of the day and after every eight hours of operation.
Oil Level
Check engine oil level (Page 14).
Engine Coolant System
CAUTION
Operating the genset when coolant level is low can cause serious engine damage.
Check the coolant level and look for coolant leaks around the bottom of the genset and on the ground below. Minor leaks that can be replenished by daily additions of coolant to the recovery tank should be repaired by a qualified service technician as soon as possible. Larger leaks are cause for shutting down the genset until it can be repaired.
Exhaust System
WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! Do not operate the genset if there is an exhaust leak or any danger of exhaust gases entering or being drawn into the vehicle.
Look and listen for exhaust system leaks while the genset is running. Shut down the genset if a leak is found and have it repaired before operating the genset again.
Look for openings or holes between the genset compartment and vehicle cab or living space if the genset engine sounds louder than usual. Have all such openings or holes closed off or sealed to prevent exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
Replace dented, bent or severely rusted sections of the tailpipe and make sure the tailpipe extends at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) beyond the perimeter of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not park the vehicle in high grass or brush. Contact with the exhaust system can cause a fire.
Park the vehicle so that the genset exhaust gases can disperse away from the vehicle. Barriers such as walls, snow banks, high grass and brush and other vehicles can cause exhaust gases to accumulate in and around the vehicle.
Do not operate power ventilators or exhaust fans while the vehicle is standing with the genset running. The ventilator or fan can draw exhaust gases into the vehicle.
Fuel System
Check for leaks at hose, tube and pipe fittings in the fuel supply system while the genset is running and while it is stopped. Check flexible fuel hose sections for cuts, cracks, and abrasions. Make sure the fuel line is not rubbing against other parts. Replace worn or damaged fuel line parts before leaks occur.
WARNING
Diesel fuel leaks can lead to fire. Do not operate the genset if operation causes fuel to leak.
Battery Connections
Check the battery terminals for clean, tight connections. Loose or corroded connections have high electrical resistance which makes starting harder.
See MAINTAINING THE BATTERY AND BATTERY
WARNING
Arcing at battery terminals or in light switches or other equipment, and flames or sparks, can ignite battery gas causing severe personal injury.
Ventilate battery area before working on or near battery—Wear safety glasses—Do not smoke—
Switch trouble light ON or OFF away from battery—Stop genset and disconnect charger before disconnecting battery cables—Disconnect negative (−) cable first and reconnect last.
Mechanical
Look for mechanical damage. Start the genset and look and listen for any unusual noises and vibrations.
Check the genset mounting bolts to make sure they are secure.
Check to see that the genset air inlet and outlet openings are not clogged with debris or blocked.
Check the engine gauges from time to time while the genset is running (if so equipped).
13
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
WARNING
State and federal agencies have determined that contact with used engine oil can cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Try to avoid skin contact and breathing of vapors. Use rubber gloves and wash exposed skin.
Park the vehicle on level ground and shut off the genset before checking the engine oil level.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap, pull out the dipstick and
wipe off the oil (Figure 5). Reinsert the dipstick,
screw the cap back on, remove the dipstick again and check the oil level on the dip stick.
2. Add or drain oil as necessary. See ENGINE OIL
RECOMMENDATIONS (Page 5). Keep the

MAINTAINING THE BATTERY AND
BATTERY CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Arcing at battery terminals or in light switches or other equipment, and flames or sparks, can ignite battery gas causing severe personal injury.
Ventilate battery area before working on or near battery—Wear safety glasses—Do not smoke—
Switch trouble light ON or OFF away from battery—Stop genset and disconnect charger before disconnecting battery cables—Disconnect negative (−) cable first and reconnect last.
Refer to Table 3 for scheduled battery maintenance,
and follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
Have the battery charging system serviced if DC system voltage is consistently low or high. Always:
1. Keep the battery case and terminals clean and dry and the terminals tight.
2. Remove battery cables with a battery terminal puller.
3. Make sure which terminal is positive (+) and which is negative (−) before making battery connections, always removing the negative (−) cable first and reconnecting it last to reduce arcing.
REPLACING THE AIR FILTER ELEMENT
Refer to Table 3 for scheduled air filter element re-
placement. In dusty environments the filter element should be inspected and changed more frequently.
To change the filter element (Figure 7), remove the
outer and inner cover and reassemble with a new air filter element. Turn the inner cover wingnut three to four clicks past seating. Make sure the outer cover is seated before tightening its wingnut. Check for
noise when the genset is running, and retighten if necessary.

CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTOR
Refer to Table 3 for scheduled cleaning of the spark
arrestor muffler (which meets U.S. Forest Service requirements). Cleaning is required for maximum genset performance.
WARNING
A hot muffler can cause severe burns. Let the muffler cool down before removing or installing the cleanout plug.
The muffler is mounted inside the genset housing.
The cleanout plug is located on the side of the muffler, accessible through the air outlet opening in the bottom of the genset. Clean out the spark arrestor muffler as follows:
1. Remove the cleanout plug from the muffler
2. Restart the genset and load it nearly to full pow-
er. See LOADING THE GENSET (Page 8).
Let the genset run for about five minutes to expel the soot in the muffler.
3. Stop the genset, allow the muffler to cool down and then reinstall the plug.
CLEANOUT PLUG
FIGURE 8. SPARK ARRESTOR CLEANOUT PLUG

REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER
Refer to Table 3 for scheduled replacement of the
fuel filter (Figure 9). A dirty fuel filter may be the
cause if the engine fails to start. The fuel filter is accessible through the maintenance access door in the skid-base. Squeeze the latches together to open the door.
CAUTION
Wipe dirt off the fuel hose connections at the fuel filter before disconnecting the hoses so as to keep dirt out of the fuel system.
WARNING
Diesel fuel is combustible and can cause severe personal injury or death. Do not smoke. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, electrical arcs, switches and arc-producing equipment and all other sources of ignition well away.
Keep a type ABC fire extinguisher handy.
FUEL
FILTER
Removing the Fuel Filter: To remove the filter, disconnect the two fittings at the filter and remove the mounting nut. Apply a wrench on the filter fitting as well as on the flare nut so as not to stress the fitting.
Flare nut wrenches should be used on the flare nuts so as not to round the corners on the nuts. Dispose of the fuel filter according to local regulations.
Installing the Fuel Filter: Rotate the filter half a turn around its mounting stud if the fittings interfere with the bracket. It only fits properly one way.
Connect the fuel fittings before tightening the filter mounting nut. Take care not to crossthread the fuel fittings. Thread them in by hand and tighten one flat past seating.
Close the access door and prime the fuel system by holding the control switch down in its Stop position for at least 1 minute. Priming is necessary to displace the air in the new filter with fuel.

CHANGING COOLANT
Refer to Table 3 for scheduled maintenance. The
engine cooling system is filled with a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol anti-freeze and water when the genset leaves the factory, which is suitable for temperatures down to -34
°
F (-37
°
C).
Replace the coolant every two years. Use ethylene or propylene glycol anti-freeze solution that contains a rust and corrosion inhibitor. The anti-freeze
should not contain a stop-leak additive.
The water used for engine coolant should be clean, low in minerals, and free of corrosive chemicals.
Use distilled water if available. The cooling system has a 4.2 quart (4 l) capacity.
Pressure Cap
Replace the pressure cap (Figure 10) every two
years because its seals can deteriorate and begin to leak. Proper cooling system pressure is essential for optimal engine cooling and minimal coolant loss.
Draining the Cooling System
WARNING
Hot coolant spray can cause severe burns. Let the engine cool before releasing the pressure cap or removing the drain cap.
Allow the engine to cool before removing the pressure cap. Then relieve any remaining pressure by turning the pressure cap slowly, without pushing down on it, until it catches. When the pressure has been relieved, remove the pressure cap by pushing down and turning it until it can be withdrawn. Then get a suitable container and drain the coolant by re-
moving the system drain cap (Figure 10).
WARNING
Ethylene glycol antifreeze is considered toxic. Dispose of it according to local regulations for hazardous substances.
It is recommended that the system be cleaned and flushed before refilling. Radiator cleaning chemicals are available at local auto parts stores. Follow the instructions for cleaning and flushing that come with the cleaning solution.
Refilling the Cooling System
Fill the recovery tank with coolant mixture to the
COLD mark.
Secure the system drain cap. Fill the cooling system with coolant mixture through the pressure cap/fill opening. Pull the hose connected to the pressure cap assembly out as far as it will go. When coolant fills up to the fill opening, start and operate the genset for a few minutes and shut it down. (It is recommended that the air conditioners or other large loads be turned on so that the genset will operate under load, causing the engine to run faster and expel trapped air.) Add more coolant if necessary and secure the pressure cap.

TABLE 4. TROUBLESHOOTING lists the Fault
Codes in numerical order along with step-by-step instructions for corrective action. If you fail to resolve the problem after taking the corrective actions suggested, contact an authorized Onan dealer. See
How to Obtain Service (Page 33).
First note the following:
• Maintaining engine oil level, keeping battery connections clean and tight, watching the fuel gauge, not overloading the genset, etc. will prevent most shutdowns.
• When the genset and vehicle engine share a common fuel tank the fuel dip tubes are usually arranged so that the genset will run out of fuel first. Marking the genset empty point on the fuel gauge will make it easier to tell when to stop the genset before running it out of fuel.
First-Level Fault Codes: The genset controller provides extensive diagnostics by causing the status indicator light on the Control Switch to blink in a coded fashion. Following a fault shutdown, the indicator light will repeatedly blink 1, 2 or 3 blinks at a time.
•
One blink indicates shut down due to high temperature
•
Two blinks indicates shutdown due to a loss of engine oil pressure
•
Three blinks indicates shutdown due to some other abnormal condition.
Second-Level Fault Codes: For a 1-blink or 3-blink
first-level fault code, one touch to Stop brings up a second-level fault code. This code consists of 1, 2, 3 or 4 blinks, a brief pause, and then 1 to 9 blinks. The first set of blinks represents the tens digit and the second set of blinks the units digit of the fault code number. For example, Fault Code No. 23 would appear as: blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink—...
NOTE: Fault Code Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are first-level faults.
Avoid interpreting them as second-level Fault Codes
11, 22 and 33. The pauses between repetitions of the fault code are longer than the pauses between the tens and units digits of the the code. For example,
Fault Code 33 would appear as: blink-blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink
—longer pause— blink-blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink—...
Restoring Fault Code Blinking: The fault code stops blinking after five minutes. Press Stop three times within five seconds to restore blinking. Note that the last fault logged will blink, even after the condition that caused the shutdown has been corrected.
