BEWARE DO NOT TOW the generating set without trailer, be it manually or using a vehicle. Trolleys/trailers should only be used to move the generating SITE TOW CTL: set for which they were designed.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS GENERAL INSTALLATION CRITERIA Installation of a genset has to be planned by qualified and trained technicians, it has to be carried out by a competent ATTENTION organization with qualified personnel and proper equipment. ATTENTION Open gensets (SKID) have to be located in an area protec- ted from rain, snow, high humidity and direct exposure to the sun.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.6.2 Sample of outdoor installation with shelter Floor should be levelled and suitable to sustain genset weight. Thresholds on doors and openings should have a barrier in or- der to avoid liquids leaking. In case it is not possible to provide a door with a barrier, the genset should have a collection base appropriate for the quantity of liquid it contains, in any case dimensions of collection base must be in accordance to the...

ATS - AFTER TREATMENT SYSTEM KOHLER LAMP NAME ACTIVE ICON INACTIVE ICON ALARM OUTPUT (LBO) Yellow warning lamp AHI ECU Yellow lamp ECU YELLOW LAMP This alarm is activated when ECU send information that ECU Yellow lamp is activated. LBO ALARM is not activated, after deactivation of lamp, alarm automatically disappears. This output is active when the ECU sends an active “yellow lamp” flag, i.e. it has detected a non-critical malfunction. This flag is taken from the DM1 frame on standard J1939 ECUs. Some ECUs provide this flag in their own proprietary fra- mes and some do not provide the flag at all. Red stop lamp AHI ECU Red lamp ECU RED LAMP This alarm is activated when ECU send information that ECU Red lamp is activated. LBO ALARM is not activated, after deactivation of lamp, alarm automatically disappears. This output is active when the ECU sends an active “red lamp” flag, i.e. it has detected a critical malfunction and the engine should not be operated until a service check is performed. This flag is taken from the DM1 frame on standard J1939 ECUs.

3-WAY VALVE FUEL SYSTEM KIT 29.2 This system allows to feed the motor of the generator both from its own tank and from an external tank of greater capacity. It consists mainly of two parts: - a three-way valve for the selection of the tank; - two hydraulic type quick disconnect couplings for the connec- tion of the hoses from the external tank.
REMOTE CONTROL TCM 35 38.6 MAKE SURE The selector LOCAL START/REMOTE START (I6) of the generating set must be switched on LOCALSTART (with EP6). The coupling of the TCM 35 with the generating set, ready for remot starting, permits to work far from the set itself. The remote control is connected to the front plate (X1), and/or rear plate, with a multiple connector.
