Important Safety Instructions Liquid-cooled 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. ...
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT. • If personnel must stand on metal or concrete while install- ing, operating, servicing, adjusting or repairing this equip- ment, place insulative mats over a dry wooden platform.
120 and/or 240VAC, single-phase loads. This model is available and rated as follows: Model 005031-2: Provides 25,000 watts (25 kW) of single-phase power. If this generator is used to power electrical load...
GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM This unit has been factory tested and adjusted using a natural gas fuel system. If propane (LP) gas is pre- ferred, refer to Section 1.12, Reconfiguring the Fuel System for LP Vapor. Fuel pressure for a natural gas set up should be five inches to 14 inches of water column (0.18 to 0.5 psi) at all load ranges.

Section 2 — Installation Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generators Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recom- mended oil may result in an engine failure. 1.14 COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS Use a mixture of half low silicate ethylene glycol base anti-freeze and half deionized water.
Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System The manufacturer recommends the use of a Generac Power Systems transfer switch in con- junction with this generator. NOTE:...
Section 2 — Installation Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generators EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION METHOD This prevents overloading the generator by keeping electrical loads below the wattage/amperage capac- ity of the generator. If the generator is powering only critical loads, within its wattage/amperage capac- ity, during utility power outages, consider using the emergency circuit isolation method.
• The control board WILL monitor all engine condi- tions and shut down on all the faults listed in this document. Pos2 OFF — ATS Application • The control board will perform all of the automatic features listed in this document. •...
Section 3 - Operation Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generators When using maintenance-free batteries, it is not necessary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level. Have these procedures performed at the inter- vals specified in Section 4, “Maintenance.” A nega- tive ground system is used. Battery connections are shown on the wiring diagrams.
• After the engine starts and when the generator AC output voltage and frequency have reached a pre-set value, transfer switch circuits signal the transfer switch main contacts to actuate to the “Standby” power source side. Generator AC output then powers load circuits. •...

This secondary function is only available with DIP switch two in the OFF position (ATS - automatic transfer switch application). MANUAL TRANSFER AND START-UP transfer electrical loads (EMERGENCY) power source side and start the engine manually, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the particular transfer switch.
Section 3 - Operation Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generators AUTOMATIC OPERATION To set the system for fully automatic operation, pro- ceed as follows: • Check that load circuits are connected to the utility power supply. • Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its AUTO position.
Switch Position 8 — Selects whether the control is in the Normal Mode of operation or Test Mode. In the Normal Mode of operation, pre-determined governor gains are used and the gain trimpots on the control board (Gain, Stability, and Differential) are not active and have no effect on the gains.
Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generators FIRST 100 OPERATING HOURS 1. Change engine oil and oil filter. After initial change, service engine oil and filter at 150 operat- ing hours or six months, whichever comes first. 2. Retorque cylinder head (see torque specs). 3.
The exhaust system parts from this product get extremely hot and remains hot after shutdown. High grass, weeds, brush, leaves, etc. must remain clear of the exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system.
Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 25 kW Generators 4.8.7 INSPECT EXHAUST SYSTEM Inspect the exhaust system at least once every three months. Check all exhaust system pipes, mufflers, clamps, etc. for condition, tightness, leaks, security, damage. 4.8.8 CHECK FAN BELT •...
MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE 4.9.1 CLEANING THE GENERATOR Keep the generator as clean and as dry as possible. Dirt and moisture that accumulates on internal gen- erator windings have an adverse effect on insulation resistance. Periodically clean generator exterior surfaces. A soft brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt.
Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 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.
