Tool applications safety Apply the proper tool for each job. With the knowledge of correct tool use and knowing the limitations of tools, along with some common sense, many accidents can be prevented. Special service tools are available for specific jobs and should be used when recommended.
The CPG 20 and CPG 25 are CPG generators, built for continuous running at sites where no electricity is available or as stand-by in cases of interruption of the mains. The generator is equipped with a voltage selector switch which allows operation at 60 Hz, 480V L-L (277V L-N) 3PH, 240V L-L (139V L-N) 3 PH or 240V L-L (120V L-N) 1PH. The CPG 20 and CPG 25 generators are driven by a fluid-cooled diesel engine, manufactured by KUBOTA.

Operating Qc1002™ – Check, by means of the generator gauges, that the voltage between the phases is identical and that the rated current Starting Qc1002™ in the third phase (L3) is not exceeded. – When single-phase loads are connected to the generator To start up the unit locally, proceed as output terminals, keep all loads well-balanced.
1310 3004 23 For the most important subassemblies, Chicago Pneumatic has developed service kits that combine all wear parts. These service kits offer you the benefits of genuine parts, save on administration costs and are offered at reduced price, compared to the loose components. Refer to the parts list for more information on the contents of the service kits.

Storage of the generator Checks and trouble shooting Never perform a test run with connected Storage power cables. Never touch an electrical connector without a voltage check. – Store the generator in a dry, frost-free room which is well When a failure occurs, always report what ventilated.
Alternator troubleshooting Symptom Possible cause Corrective action Alternator gives 0 Volt Blown fuse. Replace fuse. No residual voltage. Excite the alternator by applying a 12V battery voltage with a 30 W resistor in series on the + and - terminals of the electronic regulator, respecting the polarities. After being excited the alternator still gives 0 Volt.
