  • Page 2 Never operate this generator set without first carefully reading this manual and observing all the safety warnings it presents. While safety is built into every Baldor Pow'R Gard generator set, careless or improper operation could possibly result in mechanical failure, property damage, severe injury or death.
  • Page 3 Place protective covers and guards over the rotating parts, if rotating parts such as the drive shaft, pulley, belt, etc. are left exposed, they are potentially hazardous. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make sure all moving parts have stopped. Prior to working on the generator set, disconnect the spark plug and battery to prevent accidental starting. Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts.
  • Page 4 Never permit anyone to operate the generator set without proper instructions. Never allow children to operate the generator set. Children and pets must be kept away from the area of operation due to the possibility of burns from hot engine components or injury from any equipment the generator set is powering. Always wear eye protection and Hearing protection when working near the generator set.
  • Page 5 Always treat the electrical circuits as if they were energized. Disconnect all leads plugged into the unit Prior to working on it. Have the electrical circuits serviced only by qualified technicians. Inspect wiring frequently and replace frayed, broken or poor leads. Do not connect this unit to any building's electrical system unless you utilize an approved transfer switch or the main service entrance switch has been disconnected and locked open.
  • Page 6 Operation inside an enclosed compartment or building is a potential fire hazard and should not be done unless approval is obtained from Baldor Generators. Engine/Generator overheating can cause severe damage due to restricted, obstructed or improper airflow that is necessary for the proper cooling of the unit.

  • Page 20 STANDBY PERMANENT - MOUNT SERIES GENERATOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION High voltage may be present at receptacles and load studs while engine is operating - DANGER of electrical shock is present. Use extreme care. Voltage is present at the 120V/15 Amp convenience receptacle only when generator is operating. When configured for 277/480 main output, these receptacles Will be delivering 139 VAC.
  • Page 21 CONNECTION INFORMATION Your new Pow'R Gard Generator has all interconnecting wiring terminated at a junction box. All wiring will be clearly labeled as being load, remote start contacts and AC input terminals and are to be connected as described below. LOAD - These connections are rated and sized according to the KW of the generator.
  • Page 22 STANDBY PERMANENT MOUNT SERIES GENERATOR GENERATOR MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS The generator set must be secured to a solid surface, which is non-combustible. A concrete floor is typical of this application. Wood floors should be prepared in accordance with local and state requirements for the load, heat and fluids that will be encountered with operation of this generator set.
  • Page 23 ENGINE COOLING AIR The air, which will cool the engine, must be brought in from outside the building. A forced airflow of sufficient Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) will prevent the incoming cooling air from mixing with the air inside the building and eventually overheating and damaging the engine.
  • Page 24 When discharging the heated cooling air or the hot exhaust gases out through the side of the building or compartment please contact your local building inspector to find out what is necessary for your application to prevent a fire from occurring. You must clean and inspect both the exhaust fan and its louvers along with the building's cooling air intake on a regular basis to prevent reduction in the building's cooling air flow.
  • Page 25 If you are using a remote muffler it should be mounted as close to the engine as possible, since it will clog with carbon if it's operating temperature is too low. If you are using a remote muffler a flexible coupling of 12" or more must be installed between the exhaust line and the manifold to absorb the engine's vibration.
  • Page 26 When discharging the heated cooling air or the hot exhaust gases out through the side of the building please contact your local building inspector to find out what is necessary for your application to meet local building code requirements. Keep all fuel and its associated piping away from all components of the engine exhaust system.
  • Page 27 BUILDING VENTILATION As hot air rises you must provide some type of power ventilation at the highest possible point of the building to permit the accumulating hot air to escape. This will help to prevent engine damage and it will help to eliminate hot restart problems.
  • Page 28: Exhaust Requirements

    EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS While it is important to supply the proper amount of clean air to the cylinder, it is equally important to discharge the gases of combustion. If these gases remain in the cylinder, the next cycle cannot burn the fuel completely.
  • Page 29 FIGURE 6-2: DOUBLE THIMBLE - WALL OUTLET DETAILS EXHAUST PIPING THRU WALLS AND ROOFS Always check local and state laws pertaining to hot gas pipes before making plans for running exhaust piping thru walls or roofs. If the exhaust pipe must pass thru combustible walls or roofs, use an exhaust thimble to prevent exhaust pipe heat from being transmitted to the combustible material.
  • Page 30 FIGURE 6-3 — DOUBLE THIMBLE - ROOF OUTLET DETAILS a rain shield must be included above the thimble as shown in Figure 6-3. The rain cap as shown on the end of the exhaust pipe is recommended only in areas not subject to freezing temperatures.
  • Page 31 CONTROL PANEL OPERATION AND FUNCTION A. MASTER CONTROL SWITCH This switch controls the starting and stopping of the engine via the engine control logic circuitry. With this switch in the “Manual” mode, the engine will start and run immediately after a 10 - 20 second time delay.
  • Page 32 The Hour Meter accumulates and displays the total running time of the generator set. E. VOLTAGE ADJUST - The rheostat allows the user to “fine tune” the generator set’s voltage output. It is normally used to adjust output voltage after switching the output of the generator set to a different voltage.
  • Page 34 OPERATION - PRE-START PROCEDURE 1. Fill system fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel. Wipe up any and all fuel spillage 2. Fill Engine crankcase to full mark with clean, fresh lubricating oil per attached engine operating guide. 3. Radiator Coolant should be checked at the beginning of each day and filled in compliance with the engine manufacturer's guidelines.
  • Page 35 OPERATION The Prime mover utilized in this power generating system is controlled via an engine control module. Starting is accomplished by commanding the control to "start" the engine. This command can be given by a number of controls; The operator control mounted on the front panel. The remote controls via the transfer switch or remote start terminal.
  • Page 36 3. Overspeed Adjustment (OS) - Over Frequency Overspeed protection is provided by a frequency sensing network within the controller. The trip point of the frequency network is adjustable via a rheostat located on the top of the controller at the right hand side. Clockwise (CW) rotation increases the trip frequency and, thereby, raises the shutdown speed.
  • Page 37 TROUBLESHOOTING - GENERATOR As with any machine, trouble may develop in electrical generators. It may be due to long service or neglect of regular maintenance. Servicing, and checking. Should trouble develop, the following instructions will be helpful in tracing the cause and making repairs. SPEED DEVITIONS: The generator speed should be maintained at rated nameplate speed.
  • Page 38 LOW VOLTAGE (Continued) CAUSE CHECK AND REMEDY High resistance connections- Make better connection electrically and Connections will be warm or hot mechanically. Shorted field. Test field coils for possible short by checking resistance with an ohmmeter or resistance bridge. Return rotor assembly to factory for repair if alternator field coils are shorted.
  • Page 39 OVERHEATING (continued) CAUSE CHECK AND REMEDY High room temperature. Improve ventilation. Insufficient circulation. Provide cross-ventilation. Low power factory. Reduce inductive loads or install power factor improvement capacitors. Unbalanced load The load on each leg should be as evenly balanced as possible and should not exceed the rated current on any leg.
  • Page 40 TROUBLESHOOTING - ENGINE CODE LIST OF POSSIBLE CAUSES 1. Battery capacity low. 33. Piston rings not free or are worn or broken. 2. Bad electrical connections. 34. Valve stems and/or guide worn. 3. Fault in starter motor. 35.West type air cleaner too full or wrong oil used. 4.
