  • Page 6 SAFE OPERATION Cautious operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read and understand this section carefully before operating the engine. All operators, no matter how knowledgeable they may be, should read this and other related manuals before operating the engine or any equipment attached to it. It is the owner’s responsibility to instruct all operators in safe operation.
  • Page 7 KEEP AREA AROUND THE ENGINE CLEAN • Be sure to stop the engine before cleaning. • Keep the engine clean and free of accumulated dirt, grease and trash. • DO NOT stop the engine without idling; Temperatures around the engine rises suddenly. Keep the engine idling for about 5 minutes before stopping.
  • Page 8 ESCAPING FLUIDS • Relieve all pressure in the air, oil and cooling systems before any lines, fittings or related items are removed or disconnected. • Be alert for possible pressure release when disconnecting any device from a system that is pressurized. DO NOT check for pressure leaks with your hands.
  • Page 9 ANTI-FREEZE AND DISPOSAL OF FLUIDS • Anti-freeze contains toxic chemicals. Wear rubber gloves when handling anti-freeze. In case of contact with skin, wash immediately to avoid personal injury. • DO NOT mix different types of Anti-freeze. The mixture can produce a chemical reaction resulting in the formation of harmful substances.

  • Page 17 GENERATOR ASSEMBLY INFORMATION EXCITER TYPE GENERATOR The exciter pole pieces contain residual magnetism, which sets up lines of force across the air gap to the exciter armature. When the exciter begins to rotate a voltage is induced and current flow is initiated in the exciter armature AC windings.
  • Page 18 ROTATING FIELD ASSEMBLY (ROTOR) The rotating field assembly consists basically of four members: 1) the shaft assembly, 2) the core assembly, 3) the field coil damper windings, and 4) balance lugs to provide a high degree of static and dynamic balance. CORE ASSEMBLY The core assembly consists of a quantity of thin steel plates compressed and fastened together to form a single laminated assembly.

  • Page 23 SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS A generator set can be potentially dangerous if not properly maintained and operated. The best Safe Guard against a dangerous situation is education, good judgment and common sense. For safe trouble free operation of your generator set some general precautions are listed below. Be sure to read, understand and follow these precautions.
  • Page 24 7) EXPLOSION: Never connect the negative (-) battery cable to the positive (+) connection terminal of the starter solenoid, or test the battery by shorting terminals together. This could ignite fuel vapors or cause the battery to explode. To disconnect the battery remove the negative battery cable first and reconnect it last.

  • Page 29 SYSTEMS CONNECTION FUEL SYSTEM The diesel fuel system for the generator set must be designed to operate independently from the vehicles main engine if both engines are to be operated at the same time. The best way to do this is to have separate fuel tanks, but this is usually impractical because of space restrictions.
  • Page 30 EXHAUST SYSTEM IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS: When exhaust system components are not furnished by Power Technology as part of the Genset, the installer is responsible for meeting the following requirements. 1) Only use exhaust system components, which do not restrict exhaust flow. A restricted exhaust system will create excessive backpressure and may cause poor engine performance and possible engine damage.
  • Page 32 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ELECTRICAL WIRING All wiring must be applicable with local electrical codes. A qualified licensed electrician must perform all electrical wiring connections. Ground Fault (GFCI) breakers must be installed to protect all vehicle branch circuits. All switches and controls must be securely mounted to prevent damage and accidental opening or closing from vibration, road shock and vehicle motion.
  • Page 33 MOTOR LOADS When figuring generator set capacity requirements for installation involving motor loads, do not overlook the high current demanded by the motor during start-up. The “In-Rush” of starting current may be 2 to 5 times higher than that required when the motor reaches normal operating speed. Reserve capacity must be allowed for in rush demands plus other loads, which could be on the line as the motor starts.
  • Page 34 APPLIANCE LOADS Generator sets in recreational vehicles are often used to supply AC voltage for appliances. With the exception of a resistance-type load such as a water heater, requirements for appliances are usually low. However, such loads must not be overlooked when calculating the total wattage requirements. To avoid an overload situation, reserve capacity should also be calculated for unanticipated appliance loads.
