2.3 Understanding the User Interface and Control Panel The main user interface is within the main control panel door. The control panel consists of a series of toggle switches and a graphical user interface to provide control of all operating systems - and provide the user with operating parameters.
Note: Be sure to fill out and complete the Eco Power Equipment new application form, and ensure to check and verify all aspects of the equipment and application. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the equipment is ready for operation.
15. Visually inspect the engine for leaks, and examine belts, electrical connections, and wiring outside the generator enclosure. 16. Inspect all electrical connections; repair or replace any damaged or worn connections, including external cords connected to the load. Follow local guidelines and best practices for safe electrical practices.
● Avoid operating the generator if there are visible signs of wear or damage. ● Ensure proper training for anyone operating the machine. ● Do not modify the equipment without written consent from Eco Power Equipment.
Technical Lifespan ● Gaseous Engine: 20,000+ hours ● Eco Power recommends implementing a regular inspection process to ensure the generator's longevity and successful operation. This product is designed to run on pipeline-quality natural gas or propane gas (HD5 or better). 2.5.3 Personal Protective Equipment ●...

● Inspect the towing hitch and safety chains for secure connections. ● Verify that all lights, brakes, and signals are functioning correctly. 4. Electrical Connections: ● During each deployment, inspect all electrical connections, both internal and external. Mobile units that travel over rough terrain cause cause connections to loosen over time ●...
3.2 Check Coolant Level Caution: Never remove the radiator or top tank cap when coolant is hot! Burns and physical harm may occur. A. When coolant is room temperature or below, remove pressurized cap and inspect top tank or radiator for fluid level. B.
3.4 Change Oil and Oil Filter Note: Recommended oil is: Natural Gas Engines Oil (NGEO); CI-4 or above. Note: For continuous operation in extreme temperatures or in excessively dusty, dirty environments, rely on oil analysis to determine maintenance intervals. Note: For best results, change engine oil while the engine is still warm from operation. 1.

8. Using the recommended grade of oil, fill the crankcase with specified quantity. 9. Fill the grease cup of the signal generator with lithium grease (NLGI Gr. 2). 10. Operate engine for five (5) minutes. Check for leaks at filter base and oil pan drain plug during operation.
3.5 Engine Valve Lash Adjustment Note: Required every 500 hours (1000, 1500, etc.) on non-emergency. Confirm that #1 piston is on the compression stroke by turning both pushrods by hand to verify that both valves are closed. The valves are closed when the push rods are loose and can be turned easily. Engine can be barred over by installing 8mm-1.25 bolts in the six empty holes around the crankshaft pulley and using a pry bar to turn the crankshaft.
Page 28
5. Rotate the crankshaft (360°) until the number 6 piston is on the compression stroke and the timing pointer on the front cover is in line with the “TDC” mark on the vibration dampener. 6. Using Illustration 10, adjust the six (6) valves corresponding with the cylinder 6 “TDC”. Insert the correct feeler gauge between the rocker arm and valve stem tip.
10. With #6 piston at “TDC” adjust these valves to Exhaust 0.3mm/0.012” / Intake 0.2mm/0.008”. 3.6 Inspect Spark Plugs 1. Inspect high tension leads from coils for shorts, cracking and damage. (if used) 2. Remove/blow out any debris from the cylinder head spark plug hole before removing the spark plug to prevent any debris falling into the combustion chamber.
3.7 Fuel System Bi-Fuel The 4G Engine Controls System has full engine software control authority, therefore switching from Natural Gas (NG) to Propane (LPG/VPG) fuel is a software command from the operator console or a switch input into the 4G ECM. Weichai WP06GNA engine is capable of operating in bi-fuel mode starting from VPG/LPG and switching to NG after the NG pressure develops from operation.
Page 31
Diagnostic Messages The 4G engine control system contains a highly configurable diagnostic list that can be tailored to each application’s specific needs using the calibration spreadsheet. With each available P-code listed along with the short-name description. Note that not all DTCs necessarily apply to every application. ECM: Engine Control Module: 4G 90 pin The ECM is full authority, by this we mean it includes the ignition and air/fuel ratio control, contains all the I/O to interface the engine with the application and has a complete set of diagnostics.

● It is a continuous fuel flow device. This allows the most homogeneous mixture of air and fuel to the engine yielding optimum combustion with minimum emissions and maximum fuel economy. ● It operates on low pressure fuel from 6 to 20 inches of water of inlet pressure, no pressure intensification system required.

● Extended diaphragm life through material selection and design ● Performance over the -40 to +125C temperature range ● Eliminate LPG fuel contamination Issues ● Superior low flow resolution and repeatability, eliminates idle adjustment ● Backfire resistant through design enhancements Intake air system The intake system should be sealed between the mixer inlet and the filter.
Natural Gas & Wellhead Gas Fuel System The fuel first passes the fuel shut off when the engine starts cranking. Then it goes through the DEPR and comes into the mixer to be mixed with the air from the air filter as shown in Figure 11 Weichai WP06GNA are capable of running the NG or wellhead gas with energy content from 700 to 1800 BTU per cubic foot.

Figure 16 UEGO Sensor Installation Post-catalyst Oxygen sensor In general, the sensor installation point must be tested sufficiently by the customer for function and durability. There shall be no possibility of exhaust leaks upstream of the sensor as exhaust pulsations can draw in ambient air, leading to erroneous measurements.

System measures: Never switch on sensor heating before engine starting Delayed switch-on or power control of the sensor heater (e.g. as a function of engine and ambient temperature), so that the max. allowed ceramic temperature is not exceeded when there is condensation water present Installation angle should be inclined at least 10°...

oil, sealing materials etc., and thus reaches the sensor is application specific and must be determined by customer tests. The sensor must not be exposed to strong mechanical shocks (e.g. while the sensor is installed). Otherwise the sensor element may crack without visible damage at the sensor housing. For physical reasons the sensor needs ambient air at its reference gas side.
Page 38
Operation The continuous operating exhaust gas temperature must be between 1112degF (600°C) and 1562degF (850°C). The Product installer shall take necessary precautions to accommodate shell skin temperatures up to 1202degF (650°C). System back pressure must remain with +/- 5% of nominal conditions. Engine misfires and exhaust stream contaminants are not permissible.
