INTENDED USES

1. These engine generator sets have been designed specifically for Vehicle mounting and mobile use. The generator output is available in the junction box on the top of the generator shell. Receptacles are not provided in the

“control box” since the unit is intended to be wired into the vehicles electrical distribution system. The vehicle electrical distribution system must include a main line circuit breaker (MLCB) to protect the generator and your wiring. The vehicle distribution wiring and receptacles carry the generator output power to the loads (portable lights appliances and tools). These units are dual wound generators, with two separate 120 Volt windings. These windings can be connected for full power 120 volt OR 120/

240 volt output. When connected for 120/240 dual voltage, the 120 volt loads must be split and balanced to avoid overloading one of the generator 120 volt windings. See unit capabilities for further explanation.

2. These units require large quantities of fresh air for cooling of both the engine and the generator. Fresh air is drawn from both the engine end and the generator end and is exhausted at the center of the unit. For safety, long life and adequate performance, these units should not be run in small compartments without the access door open to allow positive fresh air flow.

RESTRICTED USES

1. DO NOT remove from the base assembly. Removal of the generator from the base assembly or operating without the shock mounts installed may cause excessive vibration and damage to the engine generator set.

2. DO NOT operate this generator without the compartment door open., i.e. generator compartment of rescue vehicles, motor homes or travel trailers. Closed compartments will not allow enough free flow fresh air to reach the engine generator set for cooling. Overheating will cause damage to both the engine and the generator.

Small compartments may also develop hot spots where there is very little air flow and could cause fire.

3. DO NOT attempt to operate this unit at 50 cycles. These units are designed and governed to operate at 60 Cycles only.

UNIT CAPABILITIES

Generator Connections - The diagram below represents a typical 5500 watt generator. Receptacles A and B are the two 120 Volt duplex receptacles. Up to 2750 watts at

120 volts (22.9 Amps) can be taken from the generator at each of the receptacles. This generator produces 120 and 240 volt, 60 Hz (Hertz), AC (Alternating Current).

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED TO PREVENT

OVERLOADING EITHER OF THE GENERATORS

120 VOLT OUTPUT CIRCUITS (A OR B).

Check the appliance or tool nameplates for the current and voltage to insure compatibility. Remember that power taken from receptacle C reduces the power available at both A and B. Any remaining 120 volt loads should be equally divided between A and B. Failure to split the load will cause permanent damage to the stator.

Although circuit breakers are provided, damage due to overloading constitutes abuse and will not be warranted.

60706--215

Starting Electric Motors - Electric motors require much more current (amps) to start them than to run them.

Some motors, particularly low cost split-phase motors, are very hard to start and require 5 to 7 times as much current to start them as to run them. Capacitor motors are easier to start and usually require 2 to 4 times as much current to start them as to run them. Repulsion

Induction motors are the easiest to start and usually require 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 times as much to start them as to run them.

Most fractional horsepower motors take about the same amount of current to run them whether they are of

Repulsion-Induction (RI), Capacitor (Cap), or Split-Phase

(SP) type. The chart below shows the approximate current required to start and run various types and sizes of 120 volt 60 cycle electric motors under average load conditions.

The figures given above are for an average load such as a blower or fan. If the electric motor is connected to a hard starting load such as an air compressor, it will require more starting current. If it is connected to a light load, or no load such as a power saw, it will require less starting current. The exact requirement will also vary with the brand or design of the motor.

Self-excited generators respond to severe overloading differently than the power line. When overloaded, the engine is not able to supply enough power to bring the electric motor up to operating speed. The generator responds with high initial starting current, but the engine speed drops sharply. The overload may stall the engine.

If allowed to operate at very low speeds, the electric motor starting winding will burn out in a short time. The generator winding might also be damaged.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

RUNNING THE GENERATOR SET UNDER THESE

CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGING THE

GENERATOR STATOR AS WELL AS THE MOTOR

WINDING.

Because the heavy surge of current required for starting motors is required for only an instant, the generator will not be damaged if it can bring the motor up to speed in a few seconds of time. If difficulty is experienced in starting motors, turn all other electrical loads off and if possible reduce the load on the electric motor.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

THIS UNIT HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. Failure to maintain the engine oil at the proper level will result in serious engine damage.

UNPACKING

When you unpack your new ENGINE GENERATOR, be sure to remove all the information sheets and manuals from the carton.

1. This power plant was in good order when shipped.

Inspect the power plant promptly after receiving it. If damage is noted, notify the transportation company immediately; request proper procedures for filing a

“concealed damage” claim. Title to the equipment and responsibility for filing claim rests with you when a generator is sent F.O.B. shipping point. Only you can legally file a claim.

2. Before proceeding with the preparation of your new engine generator set for operation, take a couple of minutes to insure that the unit you have received is the correct model and review the specification pages in this manual to insure that this unit fits your job requirements.

3. After removing the engine generator from the carton locate and remove the shipping strap attached to the generator shock mount. See attached tag for removal instructions.

UNIT PREPARATION

Before your engine generator was shipped from our factory it was fully checked for performance. The generator was load tested to its full capacity, and the voltage and frequency were carefully checked and adjusted.

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.

2020-000

Proper Oil Level a. Make sure the engine is level b. Remove the oilcap/dipstick (ref 1) from either side of the engine and wipe off with a clean cloth.

c. Fully re-insert oil cap/deipstick, but do not screw in. d. Remove oil cap/dipstick. The oil level should be between the upper mark (ref 2) and the lower mark (ref

3) on the oil cap/dipstick.

e. Fill engine with proper grade and weight of oil.

f.

Fully reinsert oil cap/dipstick and hand tighten. Ovetightening the oil cap/dipstick will damage it.

Oil should be change after the first 50 hours of operation and every 100 hours there after. It should be checked daily.

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.

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 - All electric start engine generator sets are shipped with a battery kit for customer installation. This kit consists of a battery rack, battery tie down, battery cables, and instruction sheet for installation.

After installing the battery rack, file the instruction sheet in the back of this manual for future reference.

A twelve volt battery, group U1 rated at 300 CCA or larger is recommended for this electric start engine generator set. Follow the battery manufacturers recommendations for servicing and charging prior to use. Connect the battery to the electric start system using the cables provided.

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.

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 9.9 hp diesel engine and a 6 kw generator end. The Yanmar engine is a electric key start engine with low oil level protection

b. Operate the key switch. Position # will turn on the fuel solenoid and position #II will engage the starter.

The switch is spring loaded to the #I position, so when you release the key the switch returns to this position.

c. The engine will start and come up to operating speed.

d. To shut the unit off rotate the key switch to the O position and the unit is stopped by shutting off the fuel solenoid

STARTING HINTS

.

1. Cold weather a. Use the proper oil for the temperature expected.

b. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade fuel is blended to improve starting. Do not use old or straight summer blend fuel.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Never use ether or any other starting aides. Serious engine damage or personal injury may result from ignoring this simple warning.

2. Hot weather a. Be sure to use the proper oil for the temperature expected.

b. Use only summer blended fuel.

Using old fuel leftover from winter may cause damage to the engine or clogging of the fuel filters and injection pump. See Engine Manufacturers instructions.

OPERATING SPEED

The engine-generator must be run at the correct speed in order to produce the proper electrical voltage and frequency.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

The output voltage should be checked to insure the generator is working properly prior to connecting a load to the generator. Failure to do so could result in damage to equipment plugged into the unit and possible injury to the individual.

All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied. When the electrical load is connected to the generator, the engine is more heavily loaded, and as a result the speed drops slightly. This slight decrease in speed, together with the voltage drop within the generator itself, results in a slightly lower voltage when the generator is loaded to its full capacity than when running no load.

The slight variation in speed also affects the frequency of the output current. This frequency variation has no appreciable effect in the operation of motors, lights and most appliances. However, electronic equipment and clocks will be affected if correct RPM is not maintained.

See Load vs. Output chart.

Although individual units and models may vary slightly, the normal voltage and frequency of the enginegenerators described in this book are approximately as follows, under varying loads:

**************************************************************

*Portion of plant’s rated output current.

The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage and frequency. For normal usage, the speed setting should not be changed. If the generator is being run continuously on a very light load, it is often advisable to lower the operating speed slightly. Whenever making any speed adjustments check the unit with a voltmeter or tachometer and be sure the speed is correct.

The engine will govern itself at full speed. Intentionally overriding the governor and operating the generator at low voltage may damage both the generator and any load connected to it. Running the engine at excessively high speeds results in high voltage, which may significantly shorten the life of light bulbs and appliances being used, as well as possibly damaging the engine.

Output voltage should be checked periodically to ensure continued proper operation of the generating plant and appliances. If the generator is not equipped with a voltmeter, it can be checked with a portable meter.

Frequency can be checked by using an electric clock with a sweep second hand. Timed against a wrist watch or a stop watch the clock should be correct within +/- 2 seconds.

60706-215 Page 5 2020-000

CONNECTING THE LOADS

Applying The Load

Allow the engine to warm up for two or three minutes before applying any load. This will allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature and oil to circulate throughout the engine. A short warm-up time will permit the engine to work more efficiently when the load is applied and will reduce the wear in the engine, extending its life.

Receptacles have been provided to allow loads to be connected to the generator. The loads should be added one at a time. If a large motor is being started or multiple motors are being started, they should be started individually and the largest should be started first.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT OVERLOAD

Keep the generator load within the generator and receptacle nameplate rating. Overloading may cause damage to the generator and/or the loads .

Most electric tools and appliances will have the voltage and amperage requirements on their individual nameplates. When in doubt consult the manufacturer or a local electrician. The nameplate amperage rating for electric motors can be misleading. See “Starting Electric

Motors” in Unit Capabilities (page 3).

These engine generator sets are inherently self regulating based on engine speed. The engine governor will automatically adjust itself to the load. No harm to the generator will result if it is operated with no load connected.

Proper utilization of the receptacles located on the control panel is necessary to prevent damage to either the receptacles or the generator. The generator is a limited source of electrical power, therefore pay special attention to the receptacle and generator ratings. The nameplate rating can be obtained through a single receptacle as long as the receptacle amperage rating is not exceeded.

Grounding

All units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4 or 1" copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the engine-generator set.

The pipe must penetrate moist earth. Connect an approved ground clamp, to the pipe. Run a no. 10 Awg wire from clamp to the generator ground lug on the

“receptacle panel”. Do not connect to a water pipe or to a ground used by a radio system.

The engine-generators covered in this manual were designed for portable use. DO NOT OPERATE INDOORS.

The unit should be stored in a warm dry location. Move

the unit outdoors to a flat dry location for use.

WIRING

Plug your tools such as drills, saws, blowers, sump pump and other items to be powered directly into the generator receptacles. Before plugging in all the tools and cord sets,

2020-000 Page 6 recheck the rating of the generator set. Be sure it can handle the intended load and is compatible with the voltage, phase, and current ratings.

‘Hard Wiring’ this unit directly into a temporary construction site electrical system is NOT A SIMPLE DO-

IT-YOURSELF JOB. For your safety all wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and conform to the National

Electric Code and comply with all state and local codes and regulations. Check with local authorities before proceeding.

WARNING: PERSONAL DANGER

A fully isolated, double pole double throw manual transfer switch must be installed any time a generator is being connected to an existing distribution system.

1. These engine generator sets are designed for portable heavy duty commercial use. Receptacles are provided on the control panel to permit 120 and 240 volt portable appliances and tools to be plugged directly into them. Please note that the 3 wire 240 volt receptacle(s) on these units are designed to power only 240 volt tools. There is 2 hots and a ground wire, but no neutral connection, in the 3 wire 240 volt receptacle. A 4 wire receptacle (2 hot, 1 ground, and

1 neutral) has been provided on the control panel for use in temporay power applications requiring 120/

240 volt power. Consult a licensed electrician for wiring the TemPower plug and connecting it as temporary service.

To connect these units directly to an un-powered, isolated construction site TemPower panel, have your electrician connect to the control panel using a 120/

240 volt, four wire twist-lock plug (L14-30P). The use of locking receptacles and locking plugs provides the convenience of quick disconnect, for moving, while allowing non electrical workers to safely reconnect the power. In addition they prevent the plug from being accidentally removed by bumping or vibration.

2. If the generator set is be connected to existing distribution system a fully isolated manual transfer switch must be installed. The transfer switch prevents damage to the generator and other circuit components if main line power is restored while the generator is connected. Installing a transfer switch also permits the use of normal fusing.

3. Many homes and construction sites are wired for at least 60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much greater than the capacity of these portable generators. When installing the generator at these sites, a secondary emergency distribution panel may have to be installed, such as the Emergency Transfer/Service

(ET/S) system available through your WINCO dealer.

The emergency distribution panel must be installed by a licensed electrician according to all applicable codes. The electrician will move the critical circuits to be powered during the outage to the emergency panel. Keep in mind only a limited amount of

60706--215

amperage is available from the generator set. Some circuit breakers may still have to be turned off to prevent an overload on the generator during the initial start up. See the nameplate on your generator for the amperage capabilities of your unit.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Failure to properly limit and balance the load applied to the generator will cause the generator to produce low voltage and may damage the engine generator set. It may also cause severe damage to the loads connected to the generator at that time. 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 50 hours of operation and every 100 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. See Page 3 for instructions on check oil level.

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.

CLEANING

Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. DO NOT use high pressure spray to clean either the engine or the generator. This high pressure spray could contaminate the fuel system and the generator components.

60706-215 Page 7 2020-000

1. Keep the air inlet screen on both the engine and generator free of any dirt or debris to insure proper cooling. At least yearly remove the blower housing on the engine and clean the chaff and dirt out of the engine cooling fins and flywheel. Clean more often if necessary.

Failure to keep these areas clean may cause overheating and permanent damage to the unit.

2. Periodically clean muffler area to remove all grass, dirt and combustible debris to prevent a fire.

3. On engine mufflers equipped with spark arresters, the spark arrester must be removed every 50 hours for cleaning and inspection. Replace if damaged.
