PREPARING THE UNIT USING THIS MANUAL Unpacking the unit ENGINE GENERATOR INSTALLATION Congratulations on your choice of a Winpower generator Installation set. You have selected a high-quality, precision- Fuel Line Installation engineered generator set designed and tested to give you Fuel Pressure Tables years of satisfactory standby service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY FIRE HAZARD - Natural gas and L.P. present a hazard of possible explosion and/or fi re. INSTRUCTIONS Do not smoke or use open fl ame near the generator set. Keep a fi re extinguisher nearby and know its proper use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION Fire extinguishers rated ABC by NFPA are appropriate.
TESTING POLICY: 2) ENGINE/GENERATOR GR150P4 - The engine generator set consists of a PSI8.8 Liter, Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully Turbocharged/Aftercooled V-8 industrial, liquid-cooled engine equipped to run on L.P./N.G. fuel. The engine operates at checked for performance.
Engine Protection and Metering ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS: Engine protection features include oil pressure and coolant temperature monitoring, over crank protection, ECU specifi c ** NOTICE ** protection elements, and diagnostic reporting. Regarding Engines - This manual covers the generator portion of these units. See the separate engine instruction manual Metered engine parameters include, oil pressure, coolant for engine-related problems, detailed engine information and temperature, battery voltage, speed, engine load, coolant level...
INSTALLATION FUEL INSTALLATION The fuel supply should be as close as possible to the engine. **************** This will reduce the installation cost of fuel runs. The information ***** WARNING ***** in this manual is offered to assist you in providing the proper fuel for your engine.
Fuel Pressure Table **************** ***** WARNING ***** Single Regulator (L.P. Vapor only) **************** PERSONAL DANGER - Do not use galvanized pipe in fuel line runs. The galvanized coating can become eroded and fl ake off, causing possible obstructions in the regulator or fuel valve. The results could range from inoperative engine start to hazardous fuel leaks.
Natural Gas LUBRICATION Before starting the engine, check the oil level in the crankcase. If it is low, refi ll to the full mark with the proper weight/grade of oil as recommended by the engine manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. The necessity of using the correct oil, and keeping the crankcase full cannot be over emphasized.
1. Remove watches, rings and other metal objects. CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER & 2. Use tools with insulated handles. BLOCKHEATER 3. Check both the battery cable ends and the battery posts to A three-stage battery charger is provided standard for all 12 volt be sure they are free of corrosion.
To wire the automatic transfer switch into the existing wiring, fi rst overload protection for the generator. Your power feeds from determine which circuits will be on the emergency load circuit. the transfer switch will connect to the bottom lugs on the circuit If the entire load is to be transferred, the transfer switch can breaker.
**************** NOTE: ***** WARNING ***** There are various DC connectors on the engine that have **************** nothing connected to them. This was done intentionally, A main line circuit breaker has been provided inside the these connectors are for END OF LINE TESTING and generator housing.
DC Interconnections to the Automatic Transfer Switch Your DC connection points in the ASCO 300 ATS are terminals “14” and “15”. Depending on the size of the switch they are located in different locations. As this is a “DRY” unpowered Two control wires are required between the A.T.S.
H, J, K. 2 AMP FUSE- These fuses are in the AC input line from the generator will remain running even after the remote start the generator. These are the feeds that provide the AC voltage signal has been lost. You must use the STOP/RESET or AUTO reading on the display.
INITIAL START UP If the engine fails to start during this cranking period the starter motor is disengaged and goes into a rest mode after which a second attempt is made to start the engine. Should this **************** sequence continue through 3 cranking cycles the start sequence ***** WARNING ***** will be stopped and the display will show ‘FAILED TO START’.
AUTO MODE ENGINE STARTS AND THEN STOPS AND ALARM LIGHT COMES ON To activate the automatic start mode you will just need to depress the AUTO button, the LED indicator beside the button Engine is low on oil. confi rms that the unit is in automatic start mode. Engine has high water temperature.
CHANGING THE FUEL TYPE **** CAUTION **** EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - Do not make any fuel adjustments or governor adjustments until all pressure readings are in compliance with specifi cation. See fuel pressure charts (tables 1, 2, and 3). These engine/generator sets are very easy to convert between LP or NG.
