The battery on the Stephill SSD6000 may not be charging due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. The battery is flat or faulty. Measure the DC voltage at the battery while the generator is off; it should be about 12.5V. Test and replace the battery if needed.
2. The charging system is not working properly. When the generator is running, the DC voltage at the battery should be between 13.5V and 14V. If not, the charging system may be faulty.
3. There could be loose, broken, or burnt wiring between the control panel and charging components. Inspect the wiring carefully.
4. The battery charge lamp on the control panel should illuminate if there is a charging fault. If it is lit during operation, it indicates a problem.
Check all related components and connections to identify and fix the fault.
No warranty claim will be considered by Stephill Generators Ltd unless any defective parts are available for inspection by us, or our nominees, to determine the reason or cause of failure, and Stephill Generators Ltd is given the option of repair or replacement.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Identification Each Stephill generator will have a Serial/Data plate fitted to the set. In most cases this can be found on the control/socket panel.

SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Fig.6 can be found inside the canopy near the silencer on the air intake/battery box. Fig.6 Fig.7 can be found on the canopy roof near the lifting handle. Fig.7 Fig.8 below can be found on the control panel. Fig.8 A - Exhaust fumes are extremely dangerous and can kill, ensure there is adequate ventilation for clean air into the generator and exhausted air to escape.
The standard reference condition for total barometric pressure is 1 bar. This corresponds to an altitude of approximately 100m. Above 100m the rated power must be reduced. Flammable Environment Stephill generators must not be used in a flammable environment. Saline Environment Operation of the machine in a saline environment will require additional corrosion protection.
Earth Connection All Stephill products are fitted with an earth stud on the control panel this must be connected to an earthing system or spike. Any earth spike required is dependant on the local conditions of use. The size is determined...
There is a risk of burns or serious mechanical injury. Long Term Storage For storage or long periods of inactivity, Stephill Generators recommend the following: Generators should be stored with oil filled to the correct capacity; Storage periods of 18 months and over may require special lubricants and treatments.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Operating Instructions STEPHILL GENERATORS LTD STRESS THAT THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THE SAFE USE OF THE GENERATOR RESTS WITH THE USER. Pre-start Checks Before any attempt to start the generator please follow these important guidelines. Check Oil Level - How to It is recommended to check the oil level BEFORE EVERY START OPERATION - Ref.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Check Fuel Level Ensure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank. All the generator models in this handbook have a "Low Fuel Level" switch. When you turn the key switch to the first position "RUN" and the red "Low Fuel Level" LED is illuminated, this would indicate that there not enough fuel in the fuel tank and the generator will not be able to be started.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Key Switch - Starting Operation Turn the key to the RUN position. The BATTERY and the LOW OIL PRESSURE red LED's will illuminate - Fig.11. If any other LED's are illuminated see the Basic Trouble Shooting-Key Switch section in this handbook.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 DSE 3110 - Manual Start Once all the pre-start checks have been made you can then start the generator. Follow the procedure below: Press the button until the is displayed on the LCD screen. A red LED flashes above the button.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 2-Wire Remote and ATS Auto Start/Stop Connection Location Behind the control panel there is a small push-on connector block for the remote and auto start/stop connections - Fig.13. Refer to the DC wiring diagram in this handbook for the relative terminal positions.
Live terminals while the generator is running! All checks and tests should only be carried out by a competent engineer.

SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Fault Finding - Key Switch Type Fault Possible Cause Check ● Check the battery voltage, should be around Battery 12.5V DC - Charge or Replace. ● Check the condition of the battery leads. If the battery needs charging or replacing, check the battery is being charged when the generator is running - See - Battery Charge System Fault Finding.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Fault Finding - DSE 3110 Most common faults can be Identified by the fault icon displayed on the right hand side of the LCD screen.

SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 Battery Leads Check the condition of the battery terminals and the connections on the starter motor (positive) and the engine (negative). The leads should be flexible, if they feel stiff/rigid replace. Charge Regulator Location The charge regulator can be found inside the canopy roof below the control panel. Access is made by lifting the canopy roof up and leaning into the generator towards the control panel end.
SSD6000-SSD6000S-SE6000D4 If all the above seem to be ok then this could possibly indicate that the charge regulator has failed and would need replacing. Battery Charge Fault - DSE 3110 Type Reference will be made using the DSE 3110 DC wiring diagram contained within this handbook.
Be aware of the generator model type below as there are different methods to bleed the fuel system. SSD6000 - SSD6000S - SSD6000/3PH These generator model types have an easy bleed fuel system with the aid of a low pressure 12V fuel pump.
Alternator Service Brushless alternators employed on Stephill Generators are maintenance free. Brushed alternators, like the 3 Phase model, will require maintenance. The alternator handbook supplied with the generator will contain a maintenance chart.
