No warranty claim will be considered by Stephill Generators Ltd unless any defective parts are available for inspection by us, or our nominees, to determine the reason or cause of failure, and Stephill Generators Ltd is given the option of repair or replacement.
SSDK10W Identification Each Stephill generator will have a Serial/Data plate fitted to the set. In most cases this can be found on the canopy roof of a SSDK10W generator. Below is an example of the Serial/Data plate - Fig.1 Fig.1 Description Item No.
AC Output Protection As standard the SSDK10W is manufactured as a welfare or standby type generator and configured 230V single phase (1Ph) with socket outlets and a hardwire facility. Protection is made with a main double pole MCB for overload/short circuit protection. An RCD earth leakage protection - Each individual socket is protected by its own single pole MCB.

SSDK10W Control Panel Identification Fig.2 & Fig.3 show a typical standard control panel configuration found on SSDK10W Stephill generators. The control panel is made up of engine and generator controls (DC) and the generator output (AC). Below in Fig.2 & Fig.3 are close-up details of the components found on this control panel.
SSDK10W 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. Carefully read and understand the instructions provided. If there is anything you do not understand DO NOT attempt to use this generator.
SSDK10W f) Located near the control panel. g) Located on the canopy roof. h) Located below the control panel. Personal Safety • Do not climb on the generator - dents may cause overheating of the acoustic lining. • Do not cover the generator as this can obstruct air inlet and outlets on the canopy which can cause the generator to overheat and cause permanent damage..
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.
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.
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 RESPONSIBILITY 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.
● Remove the oil level gauge (dipstick), wipe it clean and reinstall it. ● Take the oil level gauge (dipstick) out again, and check the oil level. Fig.6 shows the oil fill and oil dipstick locations for the Kubota D1105 engine used within the Stephill SSDK10W generators.
SSDK10W Check Coolant Level It is recommended to check the water/coolant level of the radiator BEFORE EVERY START OPERATION - Ref. Fig.7. The radiator is provided with a recovery tank (expansion vessel) , check the water/coolant is between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks - Ref. Fig.7.
SSDK10W Starting the Generator - Manual Start This is a basic operation guide, refer to the DSE 3110 Control Module - Overview within this handbook for an in-depth view/use of the DSE 3110 control module. Once all the pre-start checks have been made you can then start the generator. Follow the procedure below:...
SSDK10W Remote Start/Stop - 2-wire The DSE 3110 control module has a 2-wire Remote Start/Stop function. This is a volt free connection, closing two contacts will start and allow the generator to run. Open the contacts and the generator will stop and the DSE 3110 module will wait for the next start request.
After changing the fuel filters during a service the fuel system may require any air to be removed. The SSDK10W have a Fuel Pump Prime Button fitted on the control panel - See Fig.2 & 3. Ensuring the fuel tank has an adequate fuel level, press and hold the Fuel Pump Prime Button down for approximately 60 seconds to bleed the fuel system.
SSDK10W Starting Sequence Once a start request is made the DSE 3110 will energise the pre-heat relay over a period of 10 seconds. Then the DSE 3110 will then attempt to crank the engine by operating the starter motor relay and also the fuel pump relay.
GENERATOR RESTS WITH THE USER. Monitoring Systems The SSDK10W generators use a DSE 3110 control module to operate/monitor the engine and generator. Most common faults/issues can be Identified by the fault icon displayed on the DSE 3110 LCD screen. The table below shows a fault icon and/or the relevant possible causes and checks.
SSDK10W Fault Finding - DSE 3110 Fault Icon Possible Cause Check Engine Not Starting/Running - Starter motor not engaging ● Check the battery voltage, should be around 12.5V DC - Charge or Replace. Battery ● Check the condition of the battery leads.

Possible Cause Check The Kubota D1105 engine 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.

SSDK10W Fault Icon Possible Cause Check A High Engine Temperature shutdown could be for two main reasons, either the engine has overheated or the temperature switch or wiring is faulty. ● Check the level of the water and antifreeze level - fill with...
SSDK10W Fault Finding - General Fault Description Checks/Causes ● Check/test the main MCB and RCD. Generator starts and runs but will not take load ● Check/test the voltage selector switch. ● Check the wiring behind the control panel. ● Check that the battery isolator switch is turned to the ON position.
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) - See "Oil System Service Procedure" below.
Re-fit and tighten into 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.
