Important Safety Instructions Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – The manufacturer suggests that these rules for safe operation be copied and posted in potential hazard areas. Safety should be stressed to all operators, potential operators, and service and repair technicians for this equipment. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –...
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS • All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous volt- ages to the transfer switch as well as the standby generator. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., on the generator as well as the transfer switch, if applicable.
These models are available. They are rated as follows: Model 005031-0: Provides 25,000 watts (25 kW) of single- phase power. Model 005028-0: Provides 20,000 watts (20 kW) of single- phase power. Model 005030-0: Provides 15,000 watts (15 kW) of single- phase power.

STANDBY GENERATOR INSTALLATION DANGER Connecting this generator to an electrical sys- tem normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer switch, so as to isolate the electric system from the utility distri- bution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electric system by these means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility...
Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System NOTE: The manufacturer recommends the use of a Generac Power Systems transfer switch in con- junction with this generator. EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION METHOD This prevents overloading the generator by keeping electrical loads below the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator.
GENERATOR AC NEUTRAL CONNECTIONS The manufacturer uses an UNGROUNDED AC neu- tral. Grounding is recommended only at the main service entrance. If the neutral wire is grounded and one of the phase loads becomes grounded, the exces- sive current opens the load circuit breaker or col- lapses the generator field.
Section 2 — Installation Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators 2.10 ENGINEERED TRANSFER SWITCH (2-WIRE START GTS MODE) When required, the pre-packaged standby generator can be installed with an engineered W Type transfer switch which controls utility voltage sensing, weekly exercising and load transferring.
Transfer Switch terminals N1 and N2 (also called Utility 1 and Utility 2) are the input utility AC power connections to the Transfer Switch. Transfer Switch terminals T1 and T2 (also called Load 1 and Load 2) are the transfer switch AC output power terminals that go to the load circuit distribution panel.
Section 2 — Installation Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators The recommended battery is Group 26, 12VDC, 550 CCA/75 AH minimum. All batteries must be at 100 percent state-of-charge before they are installed on the generator. When using maintenance-free batteries, it is not nec- essary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level.
CONTROL CONSOLE COMPONENTS The components of a home standby generator control console (Figure 3.1) are as follows: Figure 3.1 - Generator Control Console OVER CRANK OVER SPEED LOW COOL. LEVEL HI COOL. TEMP. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

6. Reduce load to 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and no load. Decrease the stability pot if there is instability at any load point. 7. Adjust differential pot to make the recovery to load changes even faster and minimize load change undershoot and overshoot. If it is set too high, it may introduce oscillations at some load.
Section 3 - Operation Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators CONTROL BOARD DIP SWITCH SETTINGS Located on the control board is an eight position DIP switch (see Figure 3.2). The eight different switches, are used to configure the control board for the spe- cific engine and governor being used and are pre-set at the factory.
7. Turn the voltage regulator’s VOLTAGE ADJUST pot to obtain a line-to-line voltage of: A. 240 VAC if the generator has been configured for 60 Hertz operation. B. 200 VAC if the generator has been configured for 50 Hertz operation. 8.
Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators 3. Install a new lower intake manifold gasket. 4. Position the lower intake manifold to the cylinder head. 5. Install retaining bolts/studs finger tight. 6. Tighten all bolts/studs to specifications in the tightening sequence shown: •...
4.7.2 BATTERY FLUID Check battery electrolyte fluid based on the Maintenance Schedule. Fluid should cover separa- tors in all battery cells. If fluid level is low, add dis- tilled water to cover tops of separators. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN BATTERY. 4.7.3 ENGINE COOLANT Check coolant level in coolant recovery bottle.
Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators 5. Apply light coating of new engine oil to seal of new oil filter. Install FILTER and tighten by hand only. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. 6. Remove OIL FILL CAP . Add recommended oil (see SPECIFICATIONS).
4.9.3 BATTERY MAINTENANCE The battery should be inspected per Section 4.7, Scheduled Maintenance. The following procedure should be followed for inspection: 1. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary. 2. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries and, if necessary, fill with DISTILLED WATER ONLY.
Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators 4.10 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE The following is a recommended maintenance schedule for small standby and residential generator sets. The established intervals in the schedule are the maximum recommended when the unit is used in an average service application.
Maintenance Level 1 Tasks Recom- mended to be done monthly 1. Disable the unit from operating per the first page warning. 2. Check the engine oil level. Adjust as necessary. 3. Check the engine coolant level. Adjust as necessary. 4. Check the engine coolant thermal protection level.
