SPECIFICATIONS TESTING POLICY GENERATOR Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully checked Model EC6010DR/T for performance. The generator is loaded to its full capacity, and the Starting Watts 6,010 voltage, current, and frequency are carefully checked.
SAFETY A. Do not refuel when the engine is running or hot. B. Keep fuel containers out of reach of children. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS C. Do not smoke or use open flame near the generator set or fuel tank. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS D.
INTRODUCTION INTENDED USES This engine generator set has been designed primarily for portable heavy duty commercial use. Both 120 volt and 240 volt receptacles are provided in the control panel to plug in your loads (lights, portable tools, and small appliances). These units are dual wound generators, therefore the 120 volt loads must be equally split with 1/2 of the rated capacity available on each of the two 120 volt circuits.
UNIT CAPABILITIES Self-exciting generators respond to severe overloading differently than utility power. When overloaded, the engine is not able to supply enough GENERATOR CONNECTIONS power to bring the electric motor up to operating speed. The generator responds with high initial starting current, but the engine speed drops sharply.
DIESEL FUEL These engines produce enough direct current to keep the battery charged under normal operating conditions, but were not intended to be used as a battery charger. Always use a good grade of # 2 diesel fuel. For cold weather, blended #1 fuel may be used.
Never fill the battery above the fill line. Overfilling above the upper level 3. Place the panel on the other side of the generator (receptacle facing line may cause the electrolyte to overflow, resulting in corrosion to the out). Secure the panel to the skid mount using the pre-installed rivet engine or nearby parts.
CONNECTING THE FUEL SUPPLY INITIAL START UP Fuel Pump Specifications: The throttle control on these generators is preset and locked to operate at 3600 RPM (nominal) with no load speed set at 3690 RPM. Only Voltage a trained service technician should be allowed to adjust this speed 9.0 to 11.5 setting.
NOTE: While the engine is running, all warning lights should be off except the OK light. STARTING HINTS 1. COLD WEATHER Use the proper oil for the temperature expected. CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE Never use ether or any other starting aides. Serious engine damage or personal injury may result from ignoring this simple warning.
This location will also be where you will install your neutral to ground bond. You must wire four Your WINCO portable generator ships with a bonded neutral. You can separate wires from the generator (2-hot, 1- neutral, and 1-ground) to safely use this generator without external grounding as long as all the distribution panel.
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, 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.
For normal usage, the speed setting should not be changed. If the generator is The WINCO YourGen meter allows you to see useful information about being run continuously on a very light load, it is often advisable to lower your generator from the front panel by displaying RPMs, Voltage, the operating speed slightly.

GENERATOR CARE B. Remove the wing nut. Proper care and maintenance of the generator is necessary to ensure a long trouble free life. EXERCISING THE GENERATOR C. Remove the filter element. 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.
