General Information BELT TENSIONERS Isuzu™ engines use only manual belt tensioners. John Deere™ engines use manual and automatic belt tensioners. Adjust the belt using the manual tensioner according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The automatic tensioner cannot be adjusted or repaired and is designed to maintain proper tension over the life of the belt. Units with the automatic belt tensioner must be inspected according to manufacturer specifications.

Operation and information on isolating the generator with a transfer switch if the unit is to be used as a standby power supply. Transfer Switch, then continue with the steps described below: 1. Perform a manual start of the unit to verify the engine is operating correctly. Remove the wires from the remote start terminal block to check the remote start circuit.
Operation DANGER IMPROPER OR INCORRECT CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES TO BACKFEED INTO UTILITY LINES. THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR ELECTROCUTION TO UTILITY WORKERS NEARBY. VERIFY THE GENERATOR IS SUPPLYING POWER TO AN ISOLATED OBJECT OR BUILDING THAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY UTILITY LINES.
Operation VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH The voltage selector switch mechanically changes the connections between the generator output leads and the connection lugs on the main control panel. Voltage ranges are selected by rotating the handle on the switch to the desired voltage. WARNING Electric Shock: Never change the voltage selector switch while the engine is running or the controller is on.
Operation 120V GFCI 50A Circuit 20A Circuit Receptacles Breakers Breakers 125/250V Twist-Lock Receptacles 01034 Figure 3-7. Receptacle and Breaker Locations Power to the receptacles is available any time the generator is running, EVEN IF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER IS OFF (O). VERIFY EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO THE RECEP- TACLES IS TURNED OFF BEFORE TURNING THE BREAKERS ON.
Operation 1. Overload of the generator circuits to the connection lugs or the optional cam lock receptacles. The door covering the connection lugs or the optional cam lock receptacles is opened. If the emergency stop switch is activated. Verify problems that cause the main circuit breaker to trip are corrected before returning the switch to ON (I). The main circuit breaker interrupts power to the connection lugs and the optional cam lock receptacles only.
Operation 1. Open the control door and locate the switch labeled “FORCE EXHAUST REGENERATION”. 2. Move and hold the switch into the position. Enable Exhaust Filter Cleaning If the environment no longer requires the function to be disabled and there are no alarms present on the DPF Status screen, the auto exhaust filter cleaning function should be enabled.
Operation DANGER FAILURE TO ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM THE NORMAL POWER UTILITY CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGE TO BACKFEED INTO THE UTILITY LINES. THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR ELECTROCUTION OF UTILITY WORKERS NEARBY. MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR IS ISOLATED BY A TRANSFER SWITCH FROM ANY LOCAL UTILITY LINES.
Operation Set the Schedule 1. Access the Scheduler group by pressing the ► button. Note: The Scheduler group is made up of the Scheduler Options and Scheduler Setup sections. Each section can be accessed and exited using the ► and ◄ buttons. Access the Scheduler Options section.
Operation Push (O). Pressing the red Engine Stop/Reset (O) button will result in the generator going into the shutdown cycle and starting a 15 second shutdown timer called stopping. If the unit does not shut down within 15 sec- onds, a stop fail alarm will be displayed on the LCD window. After the unit shuts down, move the Control Power switch to OFF (O).
Operation Connect any trailer wiring to the tow vehicle. Check for proper operation of the directional and brake lights. Make sure the doors are properly latched. Check for proper inflation of the trailer tires. For maximum tire pressures, refer to Specifications. Check the wheel lugs.

Section 4 - Maintenance EMISSIONS INFORMATION For emissions information, see the OEM engine manual. DAILY WALK AROUND INSPECTION Look for conditions that could hinder performance or safety, such as (but not limited to) oil/coolant/fuel leakage, blocked vents, loose/missing hardware, and electrical connections. Visually inspect the fan belt for cracks, fraying, stretching, and verify the belt is properly seated in the pulley grooves.

Maintenance normal range. ○ WHEN ENGINE IS STOPPED AND COMPLETELY COOL, coolant may be added directly to the coolant overflow jug. • Check the oil level daily. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for the proper viscosity grade of oil, including special operating conditions such as a change in season or climate.
Maintenance BASIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - ISUZU ENGINE See the original equipment manufacturer’s operating manual for a complete list of mainte- nance requirements. Failure to comply with the procedures as described in the engine operator manual will nullify the warranty, decrease performance and cause equipment damage or premature equipment failure.
Maintenance BASIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - JOHN DEERE ENGINE See the original equipment manufacturer’s operating manual for a complete list of mainte- nance requirements. Failure to comply with the procedures as described in the engine operator manual will nullify the warranty, decrease performance and cause equipment damage or premature equipment failure.
Maintenance Replace primary air cleaner when dust valve restriction indicator gauge shows a vacuum of 25 in. H If not using John Deere Plus 50 II engine oil, the interval must be decreased to every 250 hours. ISUZU ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS Note: The EPA final Tier 4 Isuzu engines have an engine break-in duration that will prohibit the unit from providing rated standby power upon factory delivery.
Maintenance To perform additional maintenance alarm resets, repeat steps 6 - 8. Note: If the selected maintenance alarm does not need to be reset, press to highlight “Not Reset” and press () return to the parameters section. To save changes, press and hold () for five seconds. To discard changes made, press and hold (O) for five seconds.
Maintenance Install generator fan guard. Connect battery. JACK MAINTENANCE The following procedures should be performed annually. Side-Wind Models • The internal gearing and bushings of the jack must be kept lubricated. Apply a small amount of automotive grease to the internal gearing by removing the jack cover, or if equipped, use a needle nose applicator or standard grease gun on the lubrication point found on the side of the jack near the crank.

Section 7 - Options & Accessories GENERATOR CAM LOCK CONNECTIONS OPTION The unit may be equipped with cam lock connections, located below the connection lugs. These receptacles provide connection points for the attachment of external loads to the generator. A decal near the cam lock connections details the proper connections for selected voltages.
Options & Accessories VISCOUS FAN CLUTCH OPTION The viscous fan clutch option allows the engine cooling fan to engage at lower speeds and disengage at higher speeds, increasing cooling system efficiency. The cooling fan will engage at full speed when the coolant temperature rises.
