Page 10: Generator Safety
SSDK12M - SSDK16M - SSDK20M Generator Safety Before using this equipment and to avoid personal injury, all warnings shown on the machine should be observed. The warning signage should be checked for legibility and any that have become damaged should be replaced. -
Page 11: Personal Safety
SSDK12M - SSDK16M - SSDK20M f) Located near the control panel. g) Located near the control panel. h) Located below the control panel. Personal Safety • Do not climb on the generator - dents may cause overheating of the acoustic lining. -
Page 12: Operating Environment
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. -
Page 13: Bunded Fuel Tank
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 by reference to current IEE regulations or to a competent electrician. -
Page 14: Hot Parts
Do not operate the generator unless all guards are in place. There is a risk of burns or serious mechanical injury. 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. -

Page 17: Applying Load
SSDK12M - SSDK16M - SSDK20M Applying Load Now the generator is ready to receive load. Select the desired AC voltage with the AC voltage switch. Plug the load into the relevant AC voltage socket on the control panel. Switch the main MCB to "ON" (switch up) position on the control panel. -
Page 18: Hard Wire Terminals - Connection & Location
Warning The plate MUST be fitted when running the generator - Risk of Electric Shock. 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. -

Page 21: Standard 12V Lift Pump
An alternative method to help pull the fuel from an external fuel source to the engine is to uprate the standard 12V fuel lift pump on the engine. Stephill Generators can supply a replacement fuel lift pump that has head lift of around 1.5M. -
Page 22: Fault Finding
SAFE USE OF THE GENERATOR RESTS WITH THE USER. Monitoring Systems All standard Stephill K-Range generators use a DSE 3110 control module to operate/monitor the engine and generator. The SSDK16 & SSDK20 also have a separate Engine Control Unit (ECU). Both of the above systems can shut down the generator independently. - Page 23 DSE 3110 Control Module wiring. The SSDK12 Kubota engine (V1505) has an adjustable governor that can increase and decrease the engine speed. This is factory set by Stephill during testing. It is not recommended to adjust the engine speed unless absolutely necessary - The correct no- load frequency for this engine is 52.5Hz.
- Page 24 SSDK12M - SSDK16M - SSDK20M Fault Icon Possible Cause Check High Hz/Frequency could indicate the engine is running too fast. ● Using the fuel pump prime button, prime the fuel system Fuel System to expel any trapped air within. High Hz/Frequency If none of the above solve the issue then a closer inspection of the engine would be advised e.g.

Page 28: Service And Maintenance
You can find the basic service intervals at www.stephill-generators.co.uk Oil System Service To ensure both the oil pressure switch and oil pressure sender continue to operate correctly, Stephill Generators recommends that both components may require/benefit from a periodic "service" (annually is recommended). -
Page 29: Oil System Service Procedure
Alternator Service Brushless alternators employed on Stephill Generators are maintenance free. Service must be carried out by competent qualified personnel strictly in accordance with the instructions given in the handbook. Any spare parts required should be of genuine manufacturer’s origin.
