Duty Electric Generators

Description

Dayton professional-duty generators are rugged and compact to provide dependable,

trouble-free service. The alternators are brushless with revolving fields. Honda gasoline

engines provide long life under heavy use. Overhead valves (OHV) provide high perfor-

mance with lower fuel consumption. These engines are governed to maintain engine

speed of 3600 RPM under load. 3600 RPM engine speed provides 120/240V, 60 Hz

power. Additional features include circuit breaker protection, spark-arresting muffler

(except Model 3WY47), large fuel tank, and oil alert system. Models 3WY45, 3WY46,

and 3WY47 include electric starter.

ing, and maintenance procedures or

practices will be found that, if not carefully

followed, COULD result in severe personal

injury or death.

General Safety Information •Store fuel in approved container.

Store fuel in a well-vented area free

of open flames or sparks.

Engine exhaust

contains poisonous

carbon monoxide gas. Overexposure

will cause loss of consciousness and

will lead to death. Use only in well-

vented areas. Make sure area has

plenty of free-moving, fresh, outside

air. Never run generator in an enclosed

or confined area. Never run generator

inside occupied building.

Early signs of carbon monoxide

poisoning resemble the flu, with

headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you

have these signs, get fresh air at once!

Some people are more affected by

carbon monoxide than others. These

include pregnant women, persons with

heart or lung disease or anemia, those

under the influence of alcohol, and

those at high altitudes.

Gasoline presents

a hazard of fire or

explosion. Gasoline is flammable. Its

vapor is explosive.

•Keep fuel out of children’s reach.

•Refuel generator in a well-vented

area. Do not fill fuel tank in the dark.

Do not refuel while engine is

running. Unhook all electrical loads

and shut off engine before refueling.

•Do not overfill fuel tank. Always

allow room for fuel to expand. If you

overfill tank, fuel can overflow onto

hot generator or engine surface. This

can cause fire or explosion. After

refueling, tightly close fuel tank cap.

•Do not spill fuel. Fuel or fuel vapor

may ignite. If fuel spills, make sure

area is dry before starting engine.

•Never smoke in refueling area. Never

allow open flames or sparks in area.

Guard against fire

hazard. Keep

operation area well-vented. Keep

generator at least three feet away

from any object. Do not place flam-

mable objects near generator.

•Do not use generator where flam-

mable vapors are present. Some

vapors are heavier than air. These

vapors settle in low-lying places.

Generator Features

OIL ALERT SYSTEM

The oil alert system protects the engine

from low oil damage. This system auto-

matically shuts down the engine and

prevents engine restarting if the oil level

falls too low.

NOTE: When this happens, the engine

switch remains in the ON position. The oil

alert system is wired into the ON/OFF

switch.

If this system shuts down the engine, the

engine will not start until you add oil. Add

oil to engine (see "Engine Oil", page 10).

NOTE: Operate generator on a level

surface. If not level, the oil may flow away

Engine exhaust

from this product

contains chemicals known, in certain

quantities, to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harm.

Guard against

burns. Hot engine

parts can cause severe injury. Use

caution and remain alert when using

generator.

•Keep children and animals away

from generator while it is running or

hot.

•Keep all covers and shields in place.

Keep them tightly secured.

•The muffler becomes very hot during

operation. The muffler remains hot

for a while after shutdown. Do not

touch muffler while it is hot. Do not

let muffler touch anything flam-

mable. Let engine cool before

transporting or storing.

Have standby

installation to

home or building performed by a

licensed electrician. Do not let anyone

else wire into a utility circuit. Personal

injury, equipment damage, or damage

to home could occur.

Never connect

generator to any

existing electrical circuits. The genera-

tor output will back-feed into the

utility power line. This may electrocute

a power company line repair person.

Also, if generator is powering electri-

cal circuits, the chance of an electrical

fire exists.

Battery gives off

explosive gases.

Keep sparks, flames, and cigarettes

away. Do not remove or install battery

cables when engine is cranking or

running. Only service or use battery in

a well-vented area.

FULL POWER SELECTOR SWITCH

All models except 3W735B, 3WY47, and

3WY45 have a full power selector switch

on the control panel. The switch has two

positions: 120 VOLT ONLY, and 120/240

VOLT.

120 VOLT ONLY: This position sends full

power to the 120V receptacles only. 240V

power is not available. Use this position

when powering 120V items only.

Figure 5 – Full Power Selector Switch in 120

Volt Only Position

120/240 VOLT: This position sends full

power to the 120/240V receptacle. It also

powers the 120V receptacles at reduced

wattage capacity.

Figure 6 – Full Power Selector Switch in

120/240 Volt Position

IMPORTANT: Do not move the full power

selector switch while powering electrical

items. Unplug all items before moving

switch. Failure to do so can damage

switch.

Models 3W735B, 3WY45, and 3WY47 do

not have this switch. These models provide

full power to all receptacles.

HOUR METER

All models except 3W735B have an hour

meter. The hour meter is on the control

panel. The hour meter shows the total

generator run time, including all idle time

(See Figure 7). Hour meter is accurate up

to 1/10 of an hour.

AUTO-IDLE SYSTEM

The auto-idle system allows the engine to

idle down or run at a slower speed when

the generator is not being used to supply

power. The auto-idle system can be turned

ON or OFF by a rocker switch on the

control panel. When the switch is in the

OFF position, the engine runs at full speed

all of the time. When the switch is in the

ON position, the engine slows down to

idle speed until an electrical load is

applied. When a load is applied to the

generator (an electrical item is plugged in

and turned on) the engine speeds up to

the preset speed required to produce the

correct voltage.

IMPORTANT: A minimum current load of

1 Amp is required to disengage the auto

idle solenoid and cause the engine to

come up to speed for correct voltage.

Figure 7 – Hour Meter

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTER-

RUPTER RECEPTACLE

All models have a 120-volt ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle. The

GFCI receptacle is on the control panel or

top cover of alternator (Model 3W735B

only). The GFCI protects you against

hazardous electrical shock caused when

your body becomes a path through which

electricity travels to reach ground. This

could happen when you touch an appli-

ance or cord that is ‘live’ through faulty

mechanism, damp or worn insulation, etc.

When protected by the GFCI, you may still

feel a shock, but the GFCI should cut it off

quickly. A person in normal health should

not receive serious injury.

NOTE: Infants and very small children may

still be affected.

TEST PROCEDURE

Check the GFCI receptacle every month.

This insures it is working right.

1. Push black TEST button. Red RESET

button should pop out. This should trip

GFCI, resulting in no electrical power at

receptacle. Verify this by plugging test

lamp with good bulb into receptacle. If

lamp does not work, GFCI receptacle is

good.

Powering items at reduced engine speed

will damage generator and powered

items.

ELECTRIC START (MODELS 3WY46,

3WY45, AND 3WY47 ONLY)

Models 3WY46, 3WY45, and 3WY47 have

an electric starter. A battery is not supplied

with generator. You must provide a 12-

volt, 32-amp-hour battery. For more

battery information, see “Battery,” page 8.

Model 3W735B has only one receptacle

circuit breaker. All other models have four,

except Model 3WY47 which has six. The

circuit breakers protect the receptacles and

alternator. Overloading generator will trip

circuit breaker. A short circuit in item

being powered will also trip breaker. If this

occurs, unplug electrical load from

receptacle. Let circuit breaker cool down.

Push circuit breaker button to reset.

Generator Features

(Continued)

Electric motors need higher starting

current. They require up to 3 to 6-times

their rated full-load wattage to start. The

starting current needed may be too high.

This can cause nuisance circuit breaker

tripping. To help prevent this, start electric

motors first. Connect additional items to

generator after starting motors. If this

continues to happen, reduce the total

generator load.

NOTE: High ambient temperatures will

cause nuisance tripping.

FUEL

Gasoline presents a

hazard of fire or

explosion. Gasoline

is flammable. Its vapor is explosive.

•Keep fuel out of children’s reach.

•Refuel generator in a well-vented

area. Do not fill fuel tank in the dark.

Do not refuel while engine is

running. Unhook all electrical loads

and shut off engine before refueling.

•Do not overfill fuel tank. Always

allow room for fuel to expand. If you

overfill tank, fuel can overflow onto

hot engine. This can cause fire or

explosion. After refueling, tightly

close fuel tank cap.

•Do not spill fuel. Fuel or fuel vapor

may ignite. If fuel spills, make sure

area is dry before starting engine.

•Never smoke in refueling area. Never

allow open flames or sparks in area.

•Store fuel in approved container.

Store fuel in a well-vented area free

of open flames or sparks.

Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline. Use

gasoline with octane rating of 86 or

higher. Service station gasoline pumps

should display the octane rating. Using

gasoline with lower octane level could

damage engine. Avoid getting dirt, dust,

or water in fuel tank. Do not mix oil with

gasoline. See engine owner’s manual for

more information.

ENGINE OIL

We ship the generator without oil in the

engine crankcase. You must add oil before

starting engine. See engine owner’s

STANDBY INSTALLATION TO HOME

OR BUILDING

Have standby

installation

performed by a skilled, licensed

electrician. Do not let anyone else wire

into a utility circuit. Personal injury,

equipment damage, or damage to

home could occur.

IMPORTANT: This generator will not

power your entire home. Most home

utility electric service is more than 60

amps. This will exceed generator output.

Only power needed items during a power

outage. Make sure total wattage of

electrical load does not exceed rated

wattage of generator.

You can use this generator as a standby

power source. During a power outage, the

generator will power selected items in a

building. Have generator and additional

wiring installed by a skilled, licensed

electrician. This is not a do-it-yourself job.

Follow all local codes.

The electrician must

install a double-

throw transfer switch. This isolates

existing electrical circuits from the

utility power line. If not isolated,

generator output will back-feed into

utility power line. This may electrocute

a power company line repair person.

construction sites, you must use a GFCI.

United States OSHA and the National

Electric Code requires this.

You may need to provide the GFCI device.

Purchase GFCI at any electrical supply

house. Check the Yellow Pages for the

nearest supply house.

DUST, DIRT, RAIN, AND SNOW

Do not use

generator out-

doors in rain or snow. Do not use

generator near standing water or

snow. Do not use if generator is wet or

damp. Operating generator in these

conditions increases the risk of electro-

cution. Severe injury or death can

occur.

Do not use generator in extremely dusty or

dirty conditions. This will severely affect its

life. Keep generator clean. Do not allow

dust, dirt, rain, or snow to collect on it.

Protect generator from outdoor elements.

DETERMINING ELECTRICAL LOAD

FOR GENERATOR

You must decide what electrical load your

generator can power. Do this before using

generator. Use the following four-step

method. It will help you select a load that

is not too large. Make sure total wattage

of all electrical loads does not exceed

rated wattage of generator. For rated

wattage of your generator, see “Electrical

Specifications,” page 2. Electric motors

present a special problem when figuring

load. Read Step 3 carefully.

1. Make two lists of items you want

powered by generator. List all motors

and motor powered appliances in one.

List all lights, small appliances, etc. in

the other. For standby service to home

or building, only include items you must

power.

2. Enter running watts of each item except

motors. The light bulb or appliance

nameplate lists its wattage. Remember,

1KW = 1000 watts.

NOTE: The nameplate may not list

wattage. It may only list volts and amps.

The formula for finding wattage is: Volts x

Amps = Watts. For example: An appliance

nameplate states 3 amps at 120 volts. 3

amps x 120 volts = 360 watts.

3. Electric motors present a special

problem. They require 3 to 6 times their

rated full load wattage to start. Chart 1,

on page 12, shows starting watts

(maximum volt-amperes [VA]) for

different size motors. For example: an

electric motor nameplate states 5 amps

at 120 volts. 5 amps x 120 volts = 600

watts running. Multiply this figure by 3.

This will show the starting watts

(maximum VA) needed. 600 watts x 3 =

1800 watts (VA) to start. When figuring

the generator load for motors, you must

use the starting watts (maximum VA)

figure. Do not use the running watts

figure.

NOTE: Some motors require nearly the

same wattage to run as to start. These

items include saws, drills, hair dryers, and

food mixers. See Chart 2 for typical

appliance wattage examples.

4. Add watts and starting watts (maximum

VA) of all items. This total must not be

larger than the rated wattage of your

generator. It is a good idea to have up

to 25% extra capacity for future needs

or extra equipment.

This generator will not perform well at

high altitudes without proper adjustment.

See engine owner’s manual for details.

ADDING ELECTRICAL LOADS

IMPORTANT: Do not overload generator.

Make sure total wattage of all electrical

loads does not exceed rated wattage of

generator. Overloading may shorten

generator life. It could also cause internal

damage to generator. Overloading

will trip circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT: Keep full power selector

switch in the 120 VOLT ONLY position if

only powering 120V items. Only move

switch to 120/240 VOLT position if

powering 240V items.

1. Check items to be powered. Their

nameplate lists their wattage ratings.

NOTE: The wattage ratings for some

electrical motors are misleading. They may

require 3 to 6 times their rated wattage to

start. You must figure total electrical load

wattage. Make sure total wattage of all

electrical loads does not exceed rated

wattage of generator. See “Determining

Electrical Load for Generator,” page 11.

2. Start engine. Let engine reach full

speed.

3. Connect electrical loads one at a time. If

the load consists of electric motors, start

them first. Always start the largest first.

Start each motor individually.

DISCONNECTING ELECTRIC LOADS

Remove electrical loads one at a time.

Remove voltage sensitive items first.

Voltage sensitive items include TVs, VCRs,

and other home electronic items.

STOPPING ENGINE

IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset.

The throttle is locked in preset position. Do

not adjust throttle.

Follow the steps below to stop engine.

1. Remove all electrical loads from

generator (See “Disconnecting Electrical

Loads,” above). Remove electrical loads

one at a time.

2. Let engine run for two or three minutes

after removing electrical loads. This lets

engine cool slightly.

3. Turn engine switch to the OFF position

(See Figures 33 and 34).

Always set the idle

speed before

turning on the auto-idle. If idle speed

is not set, the larger resistor on the

control board may become hot. Heat

from the resistor may damage the

protective coating on the control

board.

5. Slowly pull solenoid bracket away

from engine (on Model 3WY47 this

will require bending the bracket

slightly).

6. With a volt meter, check the no-load

output voltage at the 120-volt duplex

receptacle. At proper idle speed (2680

minimum RPM) the meter should read

50-60 volts. Lower settings will cause

the auto-idle to not operate properly.

7. After reaching proper idle speed,

tighten M8 nut to secure solenoid

mounting bracket (Models 3WY46

and 3WY45 only).

8. Turn auto-idle switch ON. Make sure

solenoid is engaged. When engaged,

the plunger is pulled back into the

solenoid.

9. If the engine speed is too slow, the

engine will want to "hunt" or speed

up and slow down repeatedly. When

this occurs, increase engine speed by

adjusting throttle stop screw on

carburetor (refer to Carburetor

Adjustment in Honda Engine Manual).

10. Replace the engine linkage cover

(Models 3WY46 and 3WY45 only).

Dayton Professional-Duty

Electric Generators

LIMITED WARRANTY

DAYTON FIVE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY. Dayton Professional-Duty Electric Generators, Models covered in this manual, are

warranted by Dayton Electric Mfg. Co. (Dayton) to the original user against defects in workmanship or materials under normal use

for one year after date of purchase. Any part which is determined to be defective in material or workmanship and returned to an

authorized service location, as Dayton designates, shipping costs prepaid, will be, as the exclusive remedy, repaired or replaced at

Dayton’s option. For limited warranty claim procedures, see PROMPT DISPOSITION below. This limited warranty gives purchasers

specific legal rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. To the extent allowable under applicable law, Dayton’s liability for consequential and incidental damages

is expressly disclaimed. Dayton’s liability in all events is limited to, and shall not exceed, the purchase price paid.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Dayton has made a diligent effort to provide product information and illustrate the product in this literature

accurately; however, such information and illustrations are for the sole purpose of identification, and do not express or imply a warranty that

the products are MERCHANTABLE, or FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, or that the products will necessarily conform to the illustrations or

descriptions.

Except as provided below, no warranty or affirmation of fact, expressed or implied, other than as stated in “LIMITED WARRANTY” above

is made or authorized by Dayton.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY. Many jurisdictions have codes and regulations governing sales, construction, installation, and/or use of products

for certain purposes, which may vary from those in neighboring areas. While Dayton attempts to assure that its products comply with such

codes, it cannot guarantee compliance, and cannot be responsible for how the product is installed or used. Before purchase and use of a

product, review the product applications, and all applicable national and local codes and regulations, and be sure that the product, installa-

tion, and use will comply with them.

Certain aspects of disclaimers are not applicable to consumer products; e.g., (a) some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation

of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you; (b) also, some jurisdictions do not

allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, consequently the above limitation may not apply to you; and (c) by law, during

the period of this Limited Warranty, any implied warranties of implied merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose applicable to

consumer products purchased by consumers, may not be excluded or otherwise disclaimed.

PROMPT DISPOSITION. Dayton will make a good faith effort for prompt correction or other adjustment with respect to any product

which proves to be defective within limited warranty. For any product believed to be defective within limited warranty, first write or call

dealer from whom product was purchased. Dealer will give additional directions. If unable to resolve satisfactorily, write to Dayton at

address below, giving dealer’s name, address, date and number of dealer’s invoice, and describing the nature of the defect. Title and risk of

loss pass to buyer on delivery to common carrier. If product was damaged in transit to you, file claim with carrier.
