SAFETY This engine generator set has been designed and WARNING: FIRE HAZARD manufactured to allow safe, reliable performance. Poor Gasoline and other fuels present a hazard of possible maintenance, improper or careless use can result in explosion and/or fire. potentially deadly hazards; from electrical shock, exhaust A.
INTRODUCTION TESTING POLICY Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded to its full capacity, and the voltage, current, and frequency are carefully checked. Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests of typical units, and is subject to, and limited by, the temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified by the manufacturer of applicable engines.
UNIT CAPABILITIES GENERATOR CONNECTIONS WL22000VE: 120 Volt and 240 Volt receptacles are provided for connection to various loads. The following diagram represents this 19,000 watt (rated output) generator. A & B represent the 120 volt output legs of this generator. Up to 9500 watts at 120 volts (79 Amps) can be drawn from the receptacles attached to either A or B output legs.
1. As you receive your unit, it is critical to check it for any damage. If any damage is noted, it is always easiest to refuse the shipment and let WINCO take care of the freight claim. If you sign for the unit, the transfer of the ownership requires that you file the freight claim 2.
BATTERY CHARGING Never use gasoline that has been stored for an extended period of time as the fuel will lose its volatile properties and you will be left with varnish residue. The varnish Units have a small flywheel charger built into the engine like substance will clog the carburetor and will not burn flywheel assembly for recharging the starting battery.
INITIAL START UP STOPPING AND STORING The throttle control on these generators is preset and locked to operate at 3600 RPM (nominal) with no load 1. Move the key to the “OFF” position. speed set at 3690 RPM. Only a trained service technician should be allowed to adjust this speed setting.
STANDARD PORTABLE GENERATOR accumulate. Your WINCO portable generator ships with a bonded neutral. You can safely use this generator without external grounding as long as all loads are powered through the receptacle panel.

power applications requiring 120/240 Volt power. Consult a licensed electrician for wiring the TemPower plug and connecting it as temporary service. To connect these units directly to an un-powered, isolated construction site TemPower panel, have your electrician connect to the control panel using a 120/240 Volt, 4-wire twist-lock plug (14-60P).
YOURGEN The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the The WINCO YourGen meter allows you to see useful factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage information about your generator from the front panel and frequency. For normal usage, the speed setting should by displaying RPMs, Voltage, frequency, load, hours, and not be changed.

The following diagram represents this 19,000 watt (rated output) generator. A & B represent the 120 volt output legs of this generator.
ENGINE CARE 6. Replace oil drain bolt making sure the sealing washer is MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE in place. If major engine service or repair is required, contact an 7. Remover the oil filter plug and refill with new oil. Make authorized engine service center. The manufacturer of sure to use the proper grade oil based on your these engines has established an excellent world-wide operating temperature.
SPARK PLUG Replace annually or every 300 hours of operation. Always replace with the same spark plug that came in the engine and check gap before installing. Spark plug gap is 0.030”. Poor spark will also occur if spark plug wire does not fit firmly on spark plug.
AVR WIRING Automatic Voltage Regulator The following is a list of connections on the AVR. These have been factory set and other than voltage adjustment, should never be changed. VOLT: Voltage. Rotate clockwise to increase voltage. STAB: Stability. HZ: Low Frequency. AMP: Overload.
GENERATOR CARE Proper care and maintenance of the generator is necessary to ensure a long trouble free life. EXERCISING THE GENERATOR 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Causes Won’t start Low oil level Fouled spark plug Out of fuel Start switch in OFF position Fuel Valve turned off Plugged fuel filter Blown fuse in key switch Voltage too low Engine speed is too low Generator overloaded Defective stator Defective rotor (field)
