  • Page 5: Electrical Hazards

    • Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly repair or replace all worn, damaged or defective parts using only factory-approved parts. • Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect its battery cables to prevent accidental start-up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first.

    If a transfer switch is not included, one may be pur- chased separately from an Authorized Dealer. Model Rating 004988-4 27,000 NG 30,000 LP When this generator, along with a transfer switch, has been installed and interconnected, a circuit board in the generator panel constantly monitors UTILITY power source voltage.
  • Page 7: Generator Fuel System

    GENERATOR FUEL SYSTEM The unit has been factory tested and adjusted using a natural gas fuel system. If propane (LP) gas is neces- sary, contact an authorized service dealer. 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.

  • Page 12: Emergency Circuit Isolation Method

    Section 2 — Installation Liquid-cooled 30 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 can only power criti- cal loads, within it’s wattage/amperage capacity, dur- ing utility power outages, use the emergency circuit isolation method.

    Control system interconnections consist of N1 and N2, and leads 23 and 194. Control system intercon- nection leads must be run in a conduit that is sepa- rate from the AC power lead. Recommended wire gauge sizes for this wiring depends on the length of the wire, as recommended below: MAXIMUM WIRE LENGTH RECOMMENDED WIRE...
  • Page 14: Section 3 - Operation

    Section 3 — Operation Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 2.11.1 PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP  Prior to initially starting the generator, it must be properly prepared for use. Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended types and quantities of engine fluids (oil, coolant, fuel, etc.) may result in an engine failure.
  • Page 15: Control Console Components

    MANUAL — The control board will start and run the generator whenever the switch is in the manual position. AUTO — The control board will monitor the two- wire start circuit. When a two-wire start is issued the control board will immediately start and run the gen- erator.
  • Page 16: Manual Transfer And Startup

    Section 3 — Operation Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators The system ready LED will be OFF when the switch is in the manual or OFF positions. The system ready LED is also used to indicate the presence of utility sensing at the PCB when the switch is either in the AUTO or MANUAL modes.
  • Page 17: Weekly Exercise Cycle

    WEEKLY EXERCISE CYCLE The engine control board will start and run the gen- erator once every seven days for approximately 12 minutes. If utility should fail during this exercise period, the engine control board will transfer the load to the generator output and continue to run until util- ity returns.
  • Page 18: Overload Protection For Engine Dc Electrical System

    Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators OVERLOAD PROTECTION FOR ENGINE DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Engine cranking, start up and running are controlled by a solid state Engine Controller circuit board. Battery voltage is delivered to that circuit board via a 15 amp fuse.

    4.5.8 CHECK FAN BELT • Inspect fan belts every three months. Replace any damaged, deteriorated, worn or otherwise defec- tive belt. • Check fan belt tension. Thumb pressure, exerted midway between pulleys, should deflect about 3/8 to 5/8 inch. Adjust belt tension as required. 4.5.9 INSPECT ENGINE GOVERNOR Visually inspect electronic governor.

    Section 4 — Maintenance Liquid-cooled 30 kW Generators 4.5.12 SPARK PLUGS Reset the spark plug gap or replace the spark plugs as necessary. See Section 6. 1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs to keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean by scraping or washing using a wire brush and commercial solvent.
  • Page 21 DANGER  Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture around the battery for several hours after charg- ing. The slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can shat- ter the battery and cause blindness or other injury.
