• ALWAYS extend the outriggers and level the unit before raising the mast. DO NOT retract the outriggers while the mast is up. • If for any reason any part of the mast hangs up or the winch cable develops slack while raising or lowering the mast, STOP immediately and contact an authorized service representative.
Protective covers are loose or missing. If the ambient air temperature is above 120°F (49°C). SERVICE SAFETY This unit uses high voltage circuits capable of causing serious injury or death. Only a qualified electrician should troubleshoot or repair electrical problems occurring in this equipment. •...
• When towing, maintain extra space between vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and sudden lane changes. If you have not pulled a trailer before, practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an area away from heavy traffic. • Towing the unit with water in the tank will adversely affect handling of towing vehicle, specifically maneuvering corners, accelerating, and braking.

MAIN CONTROL PANEL MAIN BREAKER 240V BREAKER NEUTRAL BONDED TO FRAME 00896 1. L401 CONTROLLER: Refer to “L401 Controller” on page 2. MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER: This 240V (100A) breaker will disconnect power to the lights and the receptacles. 3. DC BREAKER: Circuit breaker (10A) for the engine electrical system. 4.
L401 CONTROLLER The L401 controller is an auto start controller that monitors the unit and indicates operational status and fault conditions. The controller can be programmed to automatically start or stop based on time schedule, fault condition, or load demand. The controller constantly monitors vital generator and engine functions for a number of preprogrammed alarm and fault conditions.

CAUTION In case of an emergency, always press the emergency stop switch located on the side of the unit to stop the engine immediately. The Stop/Reset (O) button may delay the engine shutdown if stop faults exist. To prevent damage to the generator and connected equipment, remove all loads from the generator by opening all circuit breakers (turn to the OFF (O) position) before pressing the Stop/Reset (O) button.

Ensure all covers are in place and secure. Ensure the emergency stop switch is pulled out. 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.
4. If the engine does not start after the first cranking attempt, the engine will pause for 15 seconds to allow the starter to cool. The engine will make two more attempts to start for a total of three crank cycles. Note: The controller backlight will go out when the engine is cranking.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN This unit is equipped with a low oil pressure and high coolant temperature automatic shutdown system. This system will automatically shut off the fuel supply to stop the engine if oil pressure drops too low or the engine exceeds normal operating temperature.
VOLTAGE REGULATION Units are equipped with an electronic voltage regulator. The voltage regulator controls the output of the generator by regulating the current into the exciter field. The regulator has three screwdriver adjustable potentiometers that may be adjusted for voltage, stability and voltage roll-off (U/F). The voltage regulator is adjusted before shipment from the factory.
REMOTE START TERMINAL BLOCK The remote start terminal block provides a connection for installation of a remote start switch which will allow the unit to be started by a remote dry-contact closure switch. Remote Start For location of the remote start terminal block, refer to “Main Control Panel”...
WARNING ONLY a licensed electrician should perform wiring or related connections to the generator. Installation should be in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), state and local regulations. Failure to follow these procedures could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Before any connections are attempted, make sure the main circuit breaker and the Control Power switch are in the OFF (O) position and that the negative (-) battery cable has been disconnected from the battery.

SHUTTING DOWN THE UNIT Check with personnel using power supplied by the unit and let them know the power is going to be turned off. Make sure the power shut down will not create any hazards by accidentally turning off equipment that needs to be kept on (pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).
Drain the tank when the temperature is expected to drop below 32°F (0°C) or if the unit is to be stored for a long period of time. TO REFILL THE WATER TANK: 1. Close all hose bibbs. 2. Remove the tank cover; leave the smaller inspection cap in the center of the cover in place. 3.
4. Release the mast lock by pulling the safety pin on the mast lock and pulling the lock bar free. Lower the mast by holding the lower winch control switch to the right until the mast is resting in the transport cradle. Note: If the mast lock bar does not pull free, activate the lower winch slightly to relieve pressure on the mast bar.
9. Check the wheel lugs. Tighten or replace any lugs that are loose or missing. If a tire has been replaced or removed for axle service, tighten the lugs, in the order shown, to the following specifications: A. Start all lug nuts by hand. B.
• Check that winch cables are in good condition PROPER MAST CABLE ROUTING and are centered on each pulley. DO NOT use a cable that is kinked or starting to unravel. • Check that the safety pins for the mast lock rod and mast lock bar are present and secured with a chain.

3. Do not get oil or grease on the friction discs. Grease Friction Discs (No Grease/Oil) 00244 WINCH USE, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE - ELECTRIC • Keep winch free of dirt, oil, grease, water and other substances. • Check all mounting bolts and make sure they are tightened to the recommended torque values. Replace any damaged fasteners.
JACK MAINTENANCE The following procedures should be performed at least 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE LIGHTS DANGER THIS UNIT USES HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUITS CAPABLE OF CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD TROUBLESHOOT OR REPAIR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCURRING IN THIS EQUIPMENT. MAST LIGHTS ON BUT THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS LOW 1.
