ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS OR CONTRACTORS SHOULD ATTEMPT INSTALLATION!! DEADLY EXHAUST FUMES. OUTDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY! This manual should remain with the unit.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Carrier home standby generator system. Every effort was expended to make sure that the information and instructions in this manual are both accurate and current at the time the manual was writ- ten. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve this product(s) at any time without prior notice.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Carrier Liquid-cooled 15 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 –...
place before operating the generator. If work must be done around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard. • 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.
120 and/or 240 volts, single phase loads. These models are available. They are rated as follows: Model ASPAS1CCL015: Provides 15,000 watts (15 kW) of single phase power. If this generator is used to power electrical...
GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM The generator has been factory tested and adjusted using a natural gas fuel system. If propane (LP requirements) gas is preferred, refer to Section 1.12. Recommended fuels should have a Btu content of at least 1,000 Btus per cubic foot for natural gas and at least 2,520 Btus per cubic foot for LP gas.
M1 M1 M1 M1 M1 M1 CR37 CR41 2002 GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS, ASSY #076009A *Rated power of generator is subject to and limit- ed by such factors as ambient temperature, alti- tude, engine condition, and other factors. Engine power will decrease about 3% for each 1000 feet above 3000 feet and will decrease an additional 1.5% for each 10°F above 77°F .
Section 2 — Installation Carrier Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators 1.14 ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS The unit has been filled with 15W-40 engine oil at the factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For Service SJ or latest available.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits.
NOTE: It is essential to use the latest version of any stan- dard to ensure correct and current information. • NFPA STATIONARY ENGINES AND GAS TURBINES. • NFPA No. 76A, ESSENTIAL ELECTRICAL SYS- TEMS FOR HEALTH CARE FACILITIES. • NFPA No. 220, STANDARD TYPES OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION •...
Section 2 — Installation Carrier Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION METHOD This prevents overloading the generator by keeping electrical loads below the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. If the generator is powering only crit- ical loads, within the wattage/amperage capacity, dur- ing utility power outages, consider using the emer- gency circuit isolation method.
2.10 BATTERY INSTALLATION DANGER Standby generators installed with automatic transfer switches will crank and start automati- cally when NORMAL (UTILITY) source voltage is removed or is below an acceptable preset level. To prevent such automatic start-up and possible injury to personnel, do not connect battery cables until the NORMAL source voltage at the transfer switch is correct and the system is ready to be put into operation.
Section 3 — Operation Carrier Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators Before starting the generator for the first time, the installer must complete the following procedures. For follow-up maintenance information and/or service intervals, please refer to Section 4, “Maintenance.” 2.11.2 TRANSFER SWITCH If this generator is used to supply power to any elec- trical system normally powered by an electric utility, the National Electrical Code requires that a transfer...
3.1.2 FAULT INDICATOR LAMP The lamp goes ON when one or more of the following engine faults occurs and when engine shuts down. • Low oil pressure • High coolant temperature • Low coolant level 3.1.3 15 AMP FUSE The fuse protects the control console’s DC control circuit against electrical overload.
Section 4 — Maintenance Carrier Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITIES A. EVERY THREE MONTHS 1.Check battery state of charge and condition. 2.Inspect and test fuel system. 3.Check transfer switch. 4.Inspect exhaust system. 5.Check engine ignition system. 6.Check fan belts.
4.4.2 BATTERY FLUID Check battery electrolyte fluid at least once a month. Fluid should cover separators in all battery cells. If fluid level is low, add distilled water to cover tops of separators. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN BATTERY. 4.4.3 ENGINE COOLANT Check coolant level in coolant recovery bottle.
Section 4 — Maintenance Carrier Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators Figure 4.2 - Oil Filter After refilling the crankcase with oil, always check oil level on dipstick. NEVER OPERATE ENGINE WITH OIL BELOW THE DIPSTICK “ADD” MARK. 7. Start engine and check for oil leaks. 4.5.11 CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER To replace the engine air cleaner, (part number 059402), simply remove the air cleaner cover and...
Once each year, have the generator cleaned and inspected by a dealer. That dealer will use dry, low pressure air to clean internal windings. Parts inside the control console should be cleaned and inspected at this time as well. Finally, have the insulation resistance of stator and rotor windings checked.
Section 4 — Maintenance Carrier Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING POINTS PROBLEM Engine won’t crank. Engine cranks but won't start Engine starts hard, runs rough. Engine starts then shuts down. AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch at OFF, engine continues to run No AC output from generator. Under normal operating conditions, if repair of generator set or replacement of any parts is necessary dur- ing the warranty period, you must contact a dealer.
