  • Page 7: Equipment Description

    EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION This equipment is a revolving field, alternating cur- rent generator set. It is powered by a gaseous fueled engine operating at 1800 rpm for 4-pole direct drive units, 3600 rpm for 2-pole direct drive units and 2300 - 3000 rpm for quiet drive gear units. See the Specifications section for exact numbers.

  • Page 8: Engine Protective Devices

    ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES The standby generator may be required to operate for long periods of time without an operator on hand to monitor such engine conditions as coolant tempera- ture, oil pressure or rpm. For that reason, the engine has several devices designed to protect it against potentially damaging conditions by automatically shutting down the unit when the oil pressure is too low, the coolant temperature is too high, the coolant...

  • Page 13: Installation

    INSTALLATION Refer to the separate “Installation Guide QT Product Line” supplied with the unit. PREPARATION BEFORE START-UP The instructions in this section assume that the standby generator has been properly installed, ser- viced, tested, adjusted and otherwise prepared for use by a competent, qualified installation contractor.

  • Page 15: Operation

    GENERATOR CONTROL AND OPERATION Refer to the appropriate control panel operator’s manual for this unit. OPERATING UNIT WITH MANUAL TRANSFER SWITCH If the generator was installed in conjunction with a transfer switch capable of manual operation only, the following procedure applies.

  • Page 16: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITIES  Before working on the generator, ensure the fol- lowing: • The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is in the OFF position. • The 15A fuse has been removed from the con- trol box. • The 120VAC supply to the battery charger is switched OFF .

  • Page 17: Cooling System

    Figure 10.2 — Cylinder Head Installation COOLING SYSTEM Air intake and outlet openings in the generator com- partment must be open and unobstructed for contin- ued proper operation. This includes such obstruc- tions as high grass, weeds, brush, leaves and snow. Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it to shut down.
