Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing,

operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar

with this Owner’s Manual and with the unit. The gen-

erator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably only if

it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many

accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fun-

damental rules or precautions.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible cir-

cumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in

this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit

are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If using a procedure,

work method or operating technique that the manufac-

turer does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is

safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work

method or operating technique chosen does not render

the generator unsafe.

Despite the safe design of this generator,

operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting

its maintenance or being careless can cause

possible injury or death. Permit only responsible

and capable persons to install, operate or main-

tain this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these

machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the

machine safe before attempting to work on the

generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot

during operation. Exercise care near running gen-

erators.

GENERAL HAZARDS

• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this

equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by an

Authorized Service Dealer or other competent, qualified

electrician or installation technician who is familiar with

applicable codes, standards and regulations. The operator

also must comply with all such codes, standards and regu-

lations.

• Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and

related) equipment must always comply with applicable

codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to

local, state and national electrical and building codes.

Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also,

ensure that the generator is installed, operated and serv-

iced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

and recommendations. Following installation, do nothing

that might render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with

the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regula-

tions.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide gas,

which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in

sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or

even death. For that reason, adequate ventilation must be

provided.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans,

and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt

or fan guard while the unit is operating.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air

is critical to prevent buildup of explosive gases and to

ensure correct generator operation. Do not alter the instal-

lation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provi-

sions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the gen-

erator.

• Keep the area around the generator clean and uncluttered.

Remove any materials that could become hazardous.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times.

Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally

fatigued.

• Inspect the generator regularly, and promptly repair or

replace all worn, damaged or defective parts using only fac-

tory-approved parts.

• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, dis-

connect its battery cables to prevent accidental start-up.

Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a

NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.

• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step.

Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and may

result in dangerous operating conditions from leaking

exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.

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 – This manual contains important instructions that should be

followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and batteries.

The engine exhaust from this product

contains chemicals known to the state

of California to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING:

This product contains or emits chemicals

known to the state of California to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING:

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous

electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock.

Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous volt-

ages to the transfer switch as well as the standby generator.

Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc.,

on the generator as well as the transfer switch, if applicable.

Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in

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.

• If personnel must stand on metal or concrete while

installing, operating, servicing, adjusting or repairing this

equipment, place insulative mats over a dry wooden plat-

form. Work on the equipment only while standing on such

insulative mats.

• The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250 requires

the frame and external electrically conductive parts of the

generator to be connected to an approved earth ground

and/or grounding rods. This grounding will help prevent

dangerous electrical shock that might be caused by a

ground fault condition in the generator set or by static elec-

tricity. Never disconnect the ground wire.

• Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables and cord sets

must be adequate to handle the maximum electrical current

(ampacity) to which they will be subjected.

• Before installing or servicing this (and related) equipment,

make sure that all power voltage supplies are positively

turned off at their source. Failure to do so will result in haz-

ardous and possibly fatal electrical shock.

• Connecting this unit to an electrical system normally sup-

plied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer

switch so as to isolate the generator electric system from

the electric utility distribution system when the generator is

operating. Failure to isolate the two electric system power

sources from each other by such means will result in dam-

age to the generator and may also result in injury or death

to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical ener-

gy.

• Generators installed with an automatic transfer switch will

crank and start automatically 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, disable the generator’s automatic start

circuit (battery cables, etc.) before working on or around

the unit. Then, place a “Do Not Operate” tag on the genera-

tor control panel and on the transfer switch.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately

shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not pos-

sible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor.

AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a

nonconducting implement, such as a dry rope or board, to

free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is

unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical

help.

• Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment.

Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock,

or may get caught in moving components causing injury.

FIRE HAZARDS

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times. Do

NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type extinguisher. Its

fumes are toxic, and the liquid can deteriorate wiring insu-

lation. Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be

familiar with its use. If there are any questions pertaining

to fire extinguishers, consult the local fire department.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS

• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil

spills immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials

are left in the generator compartment, or on or near the

generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the

area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris.

• These generator sets may operate using one of several types

of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or

EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care. Comply with

all laws regulating the storage and handling of fuels. Inspect

the unit’s fuel system frequently and correct any leaks

immediately. Fuel supply lines must be properly installed,

purged and leak tested according to applicable fuel-gas

codes before placing this equipment into service.

• Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP)

gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. Natural gas is lighter than

air, and LP gas is heavier than air; install leak detectors

accordingly.

Important Safety Instructions

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

1.1 GENERATOR

This equipment is a liquid-cooled, engine-driven gen-

erator set. The generator is designed to supply elec-

trical power that operates critical electrical loads

during utility power failure. The unit has been facto-

ry-installed in a weather resistant, all metal enclosure

and is intended for outdoor installation only. Use this

generator as a source of electrical power for the oper-

ation of 120 and/or 240VAC, single-phase loads.

These models are available. They are rated as follows:

Model 005031-0: Provides 25,000 watts (25 kW) of single-

phase power.

Model 005028-0: Provides 20,000 watts (20 kW) of single-

phase power.

Model 005030-0: Provides 15,000 watts (15 kW) of single-

phase power.

If this generator is used to power electrical load

circuits normally powered by a utility power

source, it is required by code to install a trans-

fer switch. The transfer switch must effectively

isolate the electric system from the utility distri-

bution system when the generator is operating

(NEC 701). Failure to isolate an electrical system

by such means results in damage to the genera-

tor and may also result in injury or even death

to utility power workers due to backfeed of

electrical energy.

1.2 TRANSFER SWITCH

This generator system is intended to be used with a

matched automatic transfer switch. It may be supplied

in either a NEMA 1 enclosure or a NEMA 3R enclo-

sure. The NEMA 1 enclosure is intended for indoor

use only. The NEMA 3R enclosure is weather proof and

can be used indoors or outdoors. Follow these rules:

• Install the transfer switch on a firm, sturdy sup-

porting structure.

• To prevent switch distortion, level the switch if nec-

essary. This can be done by placing washers

between the switch enclosure and the mounting

surface.

• Never install the switch where water or any corro-

sive substance might drip onto the enclosure.

• Protect the switch at all times against excessive

moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and cor-

rosive vapors.

If a transfer switch is not included, one may be pur-

chased separately from an Authorized Dealer.

1.3 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

(ATS MODE)

When this generator, along with an HS Type automat-

ic transfer switch has been installed and connected,

a circuit board in the generator control panel con-

stantly monitors the utility voltage and controls the

operation of the transfer switch.

In ATS Mode utility voltage sensing, weekly exercis-

ing, and load transferring is under the control of the

generator.

Should the utility voltage drop below a preset value,

and remain at this low voltage for a preset amount of

time, the generator cranks and starts. After the gen-

erator starts, the transfer switch transfers the load

circuits to the generator so the generator can power

them. When the utility source voltage has been

restored, the transfer switch re-transfers the load cir-

cuits back to the utility source voltage and the gener-

ator shuts down.

1.4 ENGINEERED TRANSFER SWITCH

(2-WIRE START GTS MODE)

When required, the pre-packaged standby generator

can be installed with an engineered W-type transfer

switch which controls utility voltage sensing, weekly

exercising and load transferring.

UTILITY voltage sensing, weekly exercising and load

transferring is then under the control of the

Engineered W-type transfer switch (GTS Mode).

1.5 GENERATOR AC CONNECTION

SYSTEMS

The generator was shipped from the factory with its

stator AC output leads connected in a single-phase,

3-wire generator AC connection system (Figure 1.1).

The stator assembly in this system consists of a pair

of stationary windings, with two leads brought out of

each winding. Each single winding can supply 120

VAC, 60 Hertz. When the two windings are connected

in series, a 240 VAC, 60 Hertz AC output results.

Typically the two “hot” leads in the circuit are Wires

No. 11 and 44. The “Neutral” leads are the junction

of Wires 22 and 33.

1.6 MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

The generator’s main circuit breaker is included with

the unit as shipped from the factory. The breaker for

each unit is described in Figure 1.2.

1.7 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 1.13, 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.

Fuel pressure for an LP vapor set up should be 11

inches to 14 inches of water column (0.4 to 0.5

psi) at all load ranges.

NOTE:

A seperate gas line and regulator may be needed

to assure proper gas pressure to the generator.

Improper gas pressure can cause hard starting and

affect engine durability.

Gaseous fuels such as natural and LP (propane)

gas are highly explosive. Even the slightest

spark can ignite such fuels and cause an explo-

sion. No leakage of fuel is permitted. Natural

gas, which is lighter than air, tends to collect in

high areas. LP gas is heavier than air and tends

to settle in low areas.

1.8 ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVICES

The engine has several safety switches which cause

the engine to automatically shut down under the fol-

lowing conditions: low oil pressure, high coolant tem-

perature, engine overspeed, low coolant level or over-

crank (Figure 1.3).

Figure 1.3 - Engine Protective Devices

1.8.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

This switch is normally-closed (N.C.) but is held open

by engine oil pressure during engine running. Should

operating oil pressure drop below about 8-10 psi

(55-68 kPa), the switch contacts close and the engine

shuts down automatically (Figure 1.4).

Figure 1.4 - Low Oil Pressure Switch

1.8.2 HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE

SWITCH

Normally open (N.O.) thermostatic switch has sens-

ing tip which is immersed in captive coolant. Should

coolant temperature exceed about 230°F (110°C), the

switch contacts close, which causes the engine to

shut down automatically (Figure 1.5).



Section 1 - General Information

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

Figure 1.5- High Coolant Temperature Switch

1.8.3 LOW COOLANT LEVEL SWITCH

Should engine coolant level drop below the level of

the high coolant temperature switch, it is possible for

the engine to overheat without automatic shutdown.

To prevent such overheating without automatic shut

down, the engine has a low coolant level sensor. If the

engine coolant drops too low, the engine automatical-

ly shuts down (Figure 1.6).

Figure 1.6 - Low Coolant Level Sensor

1.8.4 OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN

Should AC frequency exceed about 72 Hz, circuit

board action will automatically shutdown the engine.

1.8.5 OVERCRANK SHUTDOWN

The engine control board uses a cyclic cranking

process when attempting to start the engine. The first

crank cycle is a 15-second crank followed by a seven-

second rest. This is followed by five more crank

cycles each with a seven second crank followed by a

seven-second rest.

If the engine fails to start after all six attempts, the start

attempt is stopped and the overcrank LED turns on.

1.8.6 LOW BATTERY

The engine control board continually monitors the

battery voltage and turns on the low battery LED if

the battery voltage falls below 12 VDC for one minute.

Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm, which

will automatically clear if the battery voltage rises

above 12 VDC. If battery voltage goes below 6 VDC

during cranking, the low battery voltage alarm is

latched, cranking is terminated, and the low battery

LED stays on.

1.8.7 15A DC FUSE

This fuse is located inside the control panel. It pro-

tects the panel wiring and components from damag-

ing overload. The unit will not start or crank if the

fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same

size, type, and rating.

1.9 UNPACKING

1.9.1 UNPACKING PRECAUTIONS

Handle shipping cartons and crates with care. Use

care to avoid damage from dropping, bumping, colli-

sion, etc. Store and unpack cartons with the proper

side up, as noted on the shipping carton.

1.9.2 INSPECTION

Upon delivery, carefully inspect the generator for any

damage that may have occurred during shipment. If

loss or damage is noted at the time of delivery, have

the person(s) making delivery note all damage on the

freight bill or affix their signature under the consign-

or’s memo of loss or damage.

1.10 LIFTING THE GENERATOR

When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be

careful not to touch overhead power lines. The

generators weight of more than 900 pounds

requires proper tools, equipment, and qualified

personnel to be used in all phases of handling

and unpacking.

Serious injury or damage may occur if not con-

figured properly. Please consult an Authorized

Service Dealer with any questions.

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 CC, SD, SE, SF.” Detergent oils keep the

engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. Use oil

having the following SAE viscosity rating, based on

the ambient temperature range anticipated before the

next oil change:

NOTE:

Synthetic oil is highly recommended when the

generator will be operating in ambient tempera-

tures which regularly exceed 90° F and/or fall

below 30° F.

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.

1.15 COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Use a mixture of half low silicate ethylene glycol base

anti-freeze and half deionized water. Cooling system

capacity is about 8 U.S. quarts (7.6 liters). Use only

deionized water and only low silicate anti-freeze. If

desired, add a high quality rust inhibitor to the rec-

ommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant,

always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.

Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor

with ethylene glycol base anti-freeze or chromi-

umhydroxide (“green slime”) forms and will

cause overheating. Engines that have been

operated with a chromate base rust inhibitor

must be chemically cleaned before adding eth-

ylene glycol base anti-freeze. Using any high

silicate anti-freeze boosters or additives will

also cause overheating. DO NOT use any solu-

ble oil inhibitor for this equipment.

1.16 BEFORE INSTALLATION

Before installing this equipment, check the ratings of

both the generator and the transfer switch. Read

“Emergency Isolation Method” and “Total Circuit

Isolation Method” in the installation manual (Part No.

079699).

The generator’s rated wattage/amperage capacity

must be adequate to handle all electrical loads that

the unit will power. It may be necessary to group the

critical (essential) loads together and wire them into

a separate “emergency” distribution panel.

This generator can be installed in conjunction with

an engineered transfer switch, if necessary (see

Section 2.10).

The standard prepackaged transfer switch (ATS

mode) does not have sensing or controlling circuit

boards. Instead, the generator control console hous-

es a “Printed Circuit Board Assembly”, which con-

trols all phases of operation, including engine start

up and load transfer.

2.1 STANDBY GENERATOR

INSTALLATION

Connecting this generator to an electrical sys-

tem normally supplied by an electric utility

shall be by means of a transfer switch, so as to

isolate the electric system from the utility distri-

bution system when the generator is operating.

Failure to isolate the electric system by these

means will result in damage to the generator

and may also result in injury or death to utility

workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

If an open bottom is used, the engine-genera-

tor must be installed over non-combustible

materials and should be located such that com-

bustible materials are not capable of accumu-

lating under the generator set.

Only qualified, competent installation contractors or

electricians thoroughly familiar with applicable

codes, standards and regulations should install this

standby electric power system. The installation must

comply strictly with all codes, standards and regula-

tions pertaining to the installation.

After the system has been installed, do nothing

that might render the installation in noncompli-

ance with such codes, standards and regula-

tions.

NOTE:

For more information about the installation of a

standby system contact an Authorized Service

Dealer.

2.2 GENERATOR LOCATION

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure

outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air

always is available. Consider these factors:

• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings

will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow,

etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drift-

ing, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.

• Install the generator on high ground where water

levels will not rise and endanger it.

• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator

for maintenance and servicing. A required mini-

mum allowance of space to any solid structure is

three feet. Five feet allowance of space is recom-

mended.

• Where strong prevailing winds blow from one

direction, face the generator air inlet openings into

the prevailing winds.

• Install the generator as close as possible to the

transfer switch. This reduces the length of wiring

and conduit.

• Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel

supply, to reduce the length of piping. HOWEVER,

REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR CODES MAY REG-

ULATE THE DISTANCE.

2.3 GENERATOR MOUNTING AND

SUPPORT

Retain the generator compartment to a concrete slab

with 1/4-inch masonry type anchor bolts. Be sure the

bolts are long enough to retain the compartment. The

slab should be at least six inches thick and should

extend beyond the enclosure to a distance of at least

three inches on all sides.

2.4 BASIC STANDBY ELECTRIC

SYSTEM

Figure 2.1 shows a schematic diagram of a basic

standby electric system. Both the UTILITY power

supply and the STANDBY GENERATOR output are

connected to an approved transfer switch. The trans-

fer switch is required by electrical code and serves

the following functions:

• Permits the LOAD circuits to be connected to only

one power supply at a time.

• Prevents electrical backfeed between the generator

and the UTILITY power circuits.

Notice that both the STANDBY and the UTILITY

power supplies to the transfer switch are protected

against overload by a main line circuit breaker.

Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System

NOTE:

The manufacturer recommends the use of a

Generac Power Systems transfer switch in con-

junction with this generator.

2.5 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 its wattage/amperage capacity, dur-

ing utility power outages, consider using the emer-

gency circuit isolation method.

Critical electrical loads are grouped together and

wired into a separate “Emergency Distribution

Panel.” The generator only supplies electrical circuits

connected to the emergency distribution panel during

utility power outages. Load circuits powered by that

panel must be within the wattage/amperage capacity

of the generator set. The transfer switch must meet

the following requirements:

• It must have an ampere rating equal to the total

amperage rating of the emergency distribution

panel circuit.

• It must be installed between the building’s main

distribution panel and the emergency distribution

panel.

2.6 TOTAL CIRCUIT ISOLATION

METHOD

When a generator capable of powering all electrical

loads in the circuit is to be installed, the “Total

Circuit Isolation Method” may be used. The following

apply to the transfer switch in this type of system.

• Ampere rating of the transfer switch must equal

the ampere rating of the normal incoming utility

service.

• The transfer switch is installed between the utility

service entrance and the building distribution

panel.

2.7 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

A GROUNDING LUG (Figure 2.2) is provided on the

generator mounting base for the purpose of ground-

ing the frame and the external electrically conductive

parts of the equipment to an approved earth ground

and/or grounding rods where required by the

National Electrical Code. Consult a qualified electri-

cian for grounding requirements in the area.

Grounding procedures must meet local regulations.

Do not connect the ground wire to any pipe

that carries a flammable or explosive substance

– FIRE or an EXPLOSION may result.

Proper grounding helps protect personnel against

electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condi-

tion in the generator or in connected electrical

devices. In addition, grounding helps dissipate static

electricity that often builds up in ungrounded

devices.

Figure 2.2 – Generator Grounding Lug (typical)

DANGER

Section 2 — Installation

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

2.8 GENERATOR AC NEUTRAL

CONNECTIONS

The manufacturer uses an UNGROUNDED AC neu-

tral. Grounding is recommended only at the main

service entrance. If the neutral wire is grounded and

one of the phase loads becomes grounded, the exces-

sive current opens the load circuit breaker or col-

lapses the generator field. The actual result depends

on the electrical characteristics of the particular

installed generator.

2.9 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

(ATS MODE)

When this generator, along with an HS Type automat-

ic transfer switch has been installed and connected,

a circuit board in the generator control panel con-

stantly monitors the utility voltage and controls the

operation of the transfer switch.

To implement this mode of operation, Position 2 of

the eight-position DIP switch, which is located on the

generator circuit board (see Figure 3.2), must be in

the OFF position. In ATS Mode utility voltage sensing,

weekly exercising, and load transferring is under the

control of the generator.

Should the utility voltage drop below a preset value,

and remain at this low voltage for a preset amount of

time, the generator cranks and starts. After the gen-

erator starts, the transfer switch transfers the load

circuits to the generator so the generator can power

them. When the utility source voltage has been

restored, the transfer switch re-transfers the load cir-

cuits back to the utility source voltage and the gener-

ator shuts down.

The HS Type transfer switch is controlled by the gen-

erator circuit board via control wires 23 and 194.

Wire 23 connects the relay driver output (collector of

an NPN transistor) on the generator circuit board to

the "low side" (Terminal 23) of the transfer relay coil

in the transfer switch. Wire 194 connects positive

battery voltage from the generator circuit board to the

"high side" (Terminal 194) of the transfer relay coil in

the transfer switch.

If generator wires 23 and 194 are not wired to

the correct terminals in the transfer switch, the

circuit board in the generator control panel will

be damaged.

In order for the generator utility voltage sensing and

battery charging functions to work, it is necessary to

provide a 5 amp fused 240Vac utility source connec-

tion from the transfer switch main N1 and N2 termi-

nals to the generator control panel N1 and N2 termi-

nals (See Figure 2.3).

Transfer Switch terminals N1 and N2 (also called

Utility 1 and Utility 2) are the input utility AC power

connections to the Transfer Switch. Transfer Switch

terminals T1 and T2 (also called Load 1 and Load 2)

are the transfer switch AC output power terminals

that go to the load circuit distribution panel. Transfer

Switch terminals E1 and E2 are the AC power termi-

nals that come from the generator's main alternator.

(2-WIRE START GTS MODE)

When required, the pre-packaged standby generator

can be installed with an engineered W Type transfer

switch which controls utility voltage sensing, weekly

exercising and load transferring.

When Position 2 of the eight-position DIP switch,

which is located on the generator circuit board (See

Figure 3.2), is in the ON position then utility voltage

sensing, weekly exercising and load transferring is

under the control of the Engineered W Type transfer

switch (GTS Mode).

Generator DIP Switch Position 2 ON = 2-Wire Start

GTS Mode

• The generator control board will NOT monitor the

utility.

• The generator control board will NOT perform a

weekly exercise. (The five red LEDs will flash one

at a time in GTS mode.)

• The generator control board will NOT activate the

transfer output.

The generator control board WILL monitor all engine

conditions and shut down on all the faults listed in

this document.

For the W Type transfer switch to control utility volt-

age sensing, weekly exercising and load transferring,

suitable wiring must also be connected from the

transfer switch 178 and 183, 2-Wire Start terminals

to the corresponding generator 178 and 183 2-Wire

Start terminals. Recommended wire gauge sizes for

the 2-Wire Start wiring depend on the length of the

wire (see wiring length chart).

Route the 2-Wire Start control wires through suitable,

approved conduit which is separate from the AC

power leads. Connection of wire 178 to wire 183 by

relay contact closure action (volt free switch contacts)

in the transfer switch must result in generator engine

cranking and startup (See Figure 2.4).

Do NOT connect battery voltage, utility voltage

(N1/N2) or load voltage (T1/T2) to either the

178 or the 183 2-Wire start terminals as this will

damage the generator control board.

In order for the generator battery charging function to

work, it is necessary to provide a 5 amp fused 240Vac

utility source connection from the transfer switch

main N1 and N2 terminals to the generator control

panel N1 and N2 terminals (See Figure 2.4).

Section 2 — Installation

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

Transfer Switch terminals N1 and N2 (also called

Utility 1 and Utility 2) are the input utility AC power

connections to the Transfer Switch. Transfer Switch

terminals T1 and T2 (also called Load 1 and Load 2)

are the transfer switch AC output power terminals

that go to the load circuit distribution panel. Transfer

Switch terminals E1 and E2 are the AC power termi-

nals that come from the generator's main alternator.

When in GTS mode, the control board will respond

as follows based on the generator AUTO/OFF/MANU-

AL switch position.

OFF — The generator will not start and run in this

position

MANUAL — The generator control board will start

and run the generator whenever the switch is in the

manual position.

AUTO — The generator control board will monitor

the 2-Wire start circuit (terminals 178 and 183 in the

generator control panel). When a 2-Wire start signal

is issued by the W type engineered transfer switch,

via a relay contact closure that connects wire 178 to

wire 183, the generator control board will immedi-

ately start and run the generator. When the 2-Wire

start signal is removed the control board will imme-

diately stop the generator.

2.11 BATTERY INSTALLATION

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 certain that normal source voltage at

the transfer switch is correct; the generator main

line circuit breaker is switched to OFF; the

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch on the control con-

sole is switched to OFF; the 15A and 5A fuses

have been removed from the control console;

utility fed supply to battery charger (terminals

N1 and N2) is removed; and the system is ready

to be placed into operation. Ensure that the 5A

and 15A fuses in the control panel are removed

when connecting or disconnecting battery cables.

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen

gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture

around the battery for several hours after

charging. The slightest spark can ignite the gas

and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can

shatter the battery and cause blindness or

other injury. Any area that houses a storage

battery must be properly ventilated. Do not

allow smoking, open flame, sparks or any spark

producing tools or equipment near the battery.

Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely corro-

sive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe

burns. Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin,

clothing, painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective

goggles, protective clothing and gloves when

handling a battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the

affected area immediately with clear water.

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The bat-

tery is capable of exploding.

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released

electrolyte can be toxic and harmful to the skin

and eyes.

The battery represents a risk of high short cir-

cuit current. When working on the battery,

always remove watches, rings or other metal

objects, and only use tools that have insulated

handles.

2.11.1 VENTED BATTERIES

The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is

harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically

conductive and corrosive. The following proce-

dures are to be observed:

• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing,

• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off

immediately with water,

• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thor-

oughly and immediately with water and seek med-

ical attention, and

• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an

acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to

use a solution of one pound (500 grams) bicarbon-

ate of soda to one gallon (4 liters) of water. The

bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until

the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The

resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the

area dried.

Lead acid batteries present a risk of fire

because they generate hydrogen gas. The fol-

lowing procedure are to be followed:

• DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries,

• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area, and

• Discharge static electricity from body before touch-

ing batteries by first touching a grounded metal

surface.

Servicing of batteries is to be performed or super-

vised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and

the required precautions. Keep unauthorized person-

nel away from batteries.



DANGER

Section 2 — Installation

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

The recommended battery is Group 26, 12VDC, 550

CCA/75 AH minimum. All batteries must be at 100

percent state-of-charge before they are installed on

the generator.

When using maintenance-free batteries, it is not nec-

essary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level.

Have these procedures performed at the intervals

specified in Section 4, “Maintenance.” A negative

ground system is used. Battery connections are

shown on the wiring diagrams. Make sure all batter-

ies are correctly connected and terminals are tight.

Observe battery polarity when connecting batteries to

the generator set.

NOTE:

Damage will result if the battery connections are

made in reverse.

2.12 PREPARATION BEFORE START-UP

The instructions in this section assume that the

standby generator has been properly installed, serv-

iced, tested, adjusted and otherwise prepared for use

by a competent, qualified installation contractor. Be

sure to read the “Safety Rules” on pages 2 and 3, as

well as all other safety information in this manual,

before attempting to operate this (and related) equip-

ment.

2.12.1 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.

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.”

2.12.2 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

switch be installed. The transfer switch prevents elec-

trical backfeed between two different electrical sys-

tems, (for additional information, see the applicable

transfer switch manual for this unit). The transfer

switch, as well as the generator and other standby

components, must be properly located and mounted

in strict compliance with applicable codes, standards

and regulations.

2.12.3 FUEL SYSTEM

Make sure the fuel supply system to the generator (a)

delivers the correct fuel at the correct pressure and

volume and, (b) is properly purged and leak tested

according to code. No fuel leakage is permitted.

2.12.4 GENERATOR SET LUBRICATION

Check the engine crankcase oil level before operating

and add oil to the proper level – the dipstick “FULL”

mark. Never operate the engine with the oil level

below the dipstick “ADD” mark. See “Specifications”

and “Engine Oil Recommendations”.

NOTE:

This engine is shipped from the manufacturer

with 15W-40 oil. This oil should be changed after

30 hours of operation.

2.12.5 ENGINE COOLANT

Have the engine cooling system properly filled with

the recommended coolant mixture. Check the system

for leaks and other problems. See “Specifications”

and “Coolant”.

2.12.6 BELT TENSION

Check the engine fan belt tension and condition prior

to placing the unit into service and at recommended

intervals. Belt tension is correct when a force of

approximately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied midway

between pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8-

inches (10 to 16 mm).

2.12.7 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Make sure the generator is properly connected to an

approved earth ground and/or ground rod.

Make sure the generator battery is fully charged,

properly installed and interconnected, and ready for

use.

Check to ensure that there are no loose electrical con-

nections. Restrain any loose wires to keep them clear

of any moving generator set components.

3.1 CONTROL CONSOLE

COMPONENTS

The components of a home standby generator control

console (Figure 3.1) are as follows:

Figure 3.1 - Generator Control Console

3.1.1 AUTO/OFF/MANUAL SWITCH

Use this three-position switch as follows:

• Set the switch to AUTO for fully automatic opera-

tion. See “Automatic Operation” (Section 3.6).

• Set switch to MANUAL position to crank and start

the generator engine.

• Set switch to OFF position to shut down an oper-

ating engine. With OFF selected, operation will not

be possible.

With switch set to AUTO, engine can crank and

start suddenly without warning. Such automat-

ic start up normally occurs when utility source

voltage drops below a pre-set level. To prevent

possible injury that might be caused by such

sudden starts, set AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch

to OFF before working on or around the unit.

Then, place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on con-

trol console.

3.1.2 FAULT INDICATOR LEDS

(SEE CHART ON PAGE 16)

These red LEDs turn ON when one or more of the fol-

lowing engine faults occurs and the engine shuts

down.

• Low Oil Pressure

• Overcrank

• Low Battery

• Overspeed/Engine Speed Signal Fault

• High Coolant Temperature/Low Coolant Level

See Section 1.7 for further explanation of engine pro-

tection functions.

3.1.3 15 AMP FUSE

This fuse protects the control console’s DC control

circuit against electrical overload and is located

inside the control panel. If the fuse has melted open

because of an overload, engine cranking and startup

cannot occur. If the fuse needs to be replaced, use

only an identical 15-amp replacement fuse (type

ATO).

3.1.4 5 AMP FUSE

This fuse protects the battery charger against electri-

cal overload and is located inside the control panel. If

the fuse needs to be replaced, use only an identical 5-

amp replacement fuse (type ATO).

NOTE:

This fuse will not remove the + battery input

power from the PCB when it opens. This means

the exercise timer will not be reset.

3.1.5 SET EXERCISE TIME SWITCH

This switch allows programming the generator to

start and exercise automatically. “See Weekly

Exercise Cycle” (see Figure 3.3 and Section 3.6).

3.1.6 SYSTEM READY LED

The System Ready LED (green) has two main pur-

poses. First, the LED will be ON when the

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is in the AUTO position,

utility is present, and there are no system alarms.

This ON state indicates the system is fully ready for

automatic operation.

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. The LED

will flash at the rate of 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off

if the utility sensing level is below the transfer back

threshold.

This secondary function is only available with DIP

switch two in the OFF position (ATS - automatic

transfer switch application).

3.3 ENGINE GOVERNOR GAIN

ADJUSTMENTS

Engine speed governing is also controlled by the

engine control board. The engine governor has been

set by the factory during final testing of the generator

and should not be adjusted.

If, however, adjustments are necessary, the following

procedure should be followed (Figure 3.2 and Section

3.7):

1. Move DIP switch 8 to the TEST mode (OFF posi-

tion).

2. Set all three potentiometers (pots) fully counter-

clockwise.

3. Under no load condition, increase the GAIN pot

as much as possible without causing instability.

4. Apply 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full load to the unit.

Decrease the GAIN pot if there is instability at any

load point.

5. Under full load condition, increase the stability

pot until the unit returns to 60 Hertz (or 50 Hertz

in 50 Hertz applications).

6. Reduce load to 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and no load.

Decrease the stability pot if there is instability at

any load point.

7. Adjust differential pot to make the recovery to

load changes even faster and minimize load

change undershoot and overshoot. If it is set too

high, it may introduce oscillations at some load.

It can be set to zero (full CCW) if a small amount

causes oscillations at some load.

8. Leave DIP switch 8 in TEST mode.

3.4 MANUAL RETRANSFER AND

SHUTDOWN

When utility power source voltage has been restored,

electrical loads may be transferred back to that

source and the generator can be shut down as fol-

lows:

• Verify that utility power supply voltage to the trans-

fer switch has been positively turned Off, using

whatever means provided (such as utility main line

circuit breaker).

• Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its Off

or Open position.

• Let the generator engine run at no-load for a few

minutes, to stabilize internal unit temperatures.

• On the generator console, set the Auto/Off/ Manual

switch to Off. Wait for engine to come to a complete

stop.

• For transfer to utility position, refer to the Owner’s

Manual of the particular transfer switch.

• Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer

switch, using whatever means provided (such as a

utility main line circuit breaker). The utility power

source now powers the loads.

3.5 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.

• Set the generator main circuit breaker to its ON or

CLOSED position.

3.6 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.

On the day, and at the time of day chosen for the gen-

erator to exercise, set the weekly exercise cycle as fol-

lows:

1. Place the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch in the

AUTO position (Figure 3.3).

2. Press and hold the “Set Exercise Time” switch for

five seconds, then release.

At this time all five red LEDs will flash for approxi-

mately 10 seconds, then the engine will start and run

for it’s 12 minute exercise period, then shut down.

The generator will now start and run each week at the

same time.

Figure 3.3 - “Set Exercise Time” Switch

If DC power to the control board is lost, the weekly

exercise setting will be lost. This is indicated by all

five red LEDs continually flashing. In this state the

generator will still start and run in MANUAL mode,

or automatically start and run if utility is lost while in

AUTO mode, but it will not perform a weekly exercise

cycle.

If a failure occurs while running in this mode, the five

red LEDs will stop flashing, the individual fault LED

will turn on and the engine will shut down. Once the

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch has been switched to

OFF, the individual fault LED will turn OFF and the

five red LEDs will begin flashing to show exercise has

still not been set.

3.7 CONTROL BOARD DIP SWITCH

SETTINGS

Located on the control board is an eight position DIP

switch (see Figure 3.2). The eight different switches,

are used to configure the control board for the spe-

cific engine and governor being used and are pre-set

at the factory.

If the DIP switch settings are not set correctly,

the generator may not start or operate correct-

ly.

240 VAC can be present within the control

panel.

If it is necessary to select an alternate switch position,

move the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF

position. Remove the 15 amp fuse in the generator

control panel. Move the DIP switch position that

needs to be changed to its new position. Wait five sec-

onds, then re-install the 15 amp fuse.

The ON position is marked on the switch and is

shown in Figure 3.2.

Switch Position 1 — Selects the generator alternator

output frequency and is factory pre-set for 60 Hz.

Switch Position 2 — Selects the type of transfer

switch and is factory pre-set for an automatic trans-

fer switch (ATS).

Switch Position 3 — Selects the type of governor

control used, and is factory pre-set for stepper motor

operation.

Switch Position 4 — Selects the type of fuel being

used and is factory pre-set for natural gas (NG).

Switch Position 5 — Selects the engine displacement

and is factory pre-set for a 2.5 liter (2.5L) engine.

Switch Position 6 — Selects the number of engine

cylinders and is factory pre-set for four cylinders.

Switch Position 7 — Selects the direction of rotation

of the governor stepper motor and is factory pre-set

for CCW rotation (rotation is observed looking at the

stepper shaft as it moves from closed throttle to open

throttle).

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. In Test Mode the gain

trimpots are active and can be adjusted. See Section

3.3.

3.8 VOLTAGE REGULATOR

ADJUSTMENT

Four adjustment potentiometers are provided on the

voltage regulator installed in the control panel (Figure

3.4). These are (a) voltage adjust, (b) gain, (c) stabili-

ty and (d) underfrequency adjust. The voltage regula-

tor potentiometers have been factory set and

SHOULD NOT be adjusted. If however, adjustments

are necessary, contact the local Dealer to implement

the following procedure.

High voltage is present inside the control panel

during this procedure.

1. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator

(initial adjustments are done under no-load con-

ditions).

Figure 3.4 — Voltage Regulator

2. Connect an accurate AC voltmeter and AC fre-

quency meter to the generator’s AC output leads.

3. On the voltage regulator, set the potentiometers

as follows:

A. Turn the Voltage Adjust pot fully counterclock-

wise (CCW).

B. Set the GAIN pot to its centered (mid) position.

C. Set the STABILITY pot to its centered (mid)

position.

D. DO NOT adjust the UNDERFREQUENCY

ADJUST pot.

4. Start the engine. Let it stabilize and warm up at

no-load.

5. Verify that the three voltage regulator’s LED’s are

ON.

6. Check the reading on the AC frequency meter.

Section 3 - Operation

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

7. Turn the voltage regulator’s VOLTAGE ADJUST

pot to obtain a line-to-line voltage of:

A. 240 VAC if the generator has been configured for

60 Hertz operation.

B. 200 VAC if the generator has been configured for

50 Hertz operation.

8. If the RED REGULATOR LED is flashing, adjust

the STABILITY pot in either direction until the

flashing stops.

9. Apply an electrical load and check the engine

speed recovery.

A. Adjust the UNDERFEQUENCY ADJUST pot

CCW to reduce load during engine recovery.

B. For flat regulation (no voltage decrease as fre-

quency drops) set the UNDERFREQUENCY

ADJUST pot fully CW.

C. To obtain a constant voltage regulation as fre-

quency decreases, set the UNDERFREQUENCY

ADJUST pot fully CCW.

10. With the electrical load still applied, check the

REGULATOR LED for flashing. If the LED is

flashing, adjust the STABILITY pot until the flash-

ing stops.

11. If better response is needed, adjust the GAIN pot

clockwise (CW) as needed. Then (if needed) cor-

rect for stability by adjusting the STABILITY pot.

12. Turn OFF the electrical loads.

13. Verify that all the voltage regulator’s LED’s are

ON.

14. Turn OFF the generator.

Figure 4.2 — Cylinder Head Installation

4.5 COOLING SYSTEM

Air intake and outlet openings in the generator com-

partment must be open and unobstructed for contin-

ued proper operation. This includes such obstruc-

tions as high grass, weeds, brush, leaves and snow.

Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the

engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it

to shut down. (See the installation diagram.)

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.

4.6 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. These overcurrent protection devices

will open if the circuit is overloaded.

If a circuit breaker opens or a fuse element

melts, find the cause of the overload before

resetting the circuit breaker or replacing the

fuse.

4.7 CHECKING FLUID LEVELS

4.7.1 CHECK ENGINE OIL

Check engine crankcase oil level (Figure 4.3) at least

every 20 hours of operation, or prior to use.

• Remove oil dipstick and wipe dry with a clean,

lint-free cloth.

• Install oil dipstick, then remove again.

• Oil should be between FULL and ADD marks.

• If oil level is below the dipstick ADD mark, remove

oil fill cap. Add the recommended oil to bring oil

level up to the FULL mark. DO NOT FILL ABOVE

THE “FULL” MARK. See “Engine Oil Recommen-

dations” for recommended oils.

4.7.2 BATTERY FLUID

Check battery electrolyte fluid based on the

Maintenance Schedule. Fluid should cover separa-

tors in all battery cells. If fluid level is low, add dis-

tilled water to cover tops of separators. DO NOT USE

TAP WATER IN BATTERY.

4.7.3 ENGINE COOLANT

Check coolant level in coolant recovery bottle. See

Specifications.

• Add recommended coolant mixture as necessary.

• Periodically remove radiator pressure cap (only

when engine has cooled down) to make sure the

coolant recovery system is functioning properly.

Coolant should be at bottom of radiator filler neck.

If coolant level is low, inspect gasket in radiator

pressure cap. Replace cap, if necessary. To have

pressure cap tested, contact an Authorized Service

Dealer. Inspect cooling system and coolant recov-

ery system for leaks.

4.8 MAINTENANCE OWNER/

OPERATOR CAN PERFORM

4.8.1 CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Refer to “Checking Fluid Levels”.

4.8.2 CHECK BATTERY

• See “Checking Fluid Levels”.

• Check battery cables for condition, tightness, cor-

rosion or damage. Clean, tighten or replace as

necessary.

4.8.3 EXERCISE SYSTEM

Start the generator engine at least once every seven

days and let it run at least 12 minutes. See “Weekly

Exercise Cycle”.

4.8.4 INSPECT COOLING SYSTEM

• Inspect engine cooling system. See “Maintenance

Schedule”.

• Check hoses for damage, deterioration, leaks, etc.

Correct any discrepancies found.

• Check hose clamps for tightness.

4.8.5 CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

See “Checking Fluid Levels”.

4.8.6 PERFORM VISUAL INSPECTION

Complete a thorough visual inspection of the entire

engine-generator monthly. Look for obvious damage,

loose, missing or corroded nuts, bolts and other fas-

teners. Look for fuel, oil or coolant leaks.

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

• 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 of an inch. Adjust belt tension as required.

4.8.9 INSPECT ENGINE GOVERNOR

Visually inspect electronic governor.

Do not attempt to adjust the governor. Only

qualified service facilities should adjust the

governor. Excessively high operating speeds are

dangerous and increase the risk of personal

injury. Low speeds impose a heavy load on the

engine when adequate engine power is not

available and may shorten engine life. Correct

rated frequency and voltage are supplied only

at the proper governed speed. Some connected

electrical load devices may be damaged by

incorrect frequency and/or voltage. Only quali-

fied service technicians should adjust the gov-

erned speed.

4.8.10 CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Refer to maintenance performed by authorized service

facilities for engine oil and filter change frequencies.

Drain the oil while the engine is still warm from run-

ning. This means warm up the engine, shut it down

and drain immediately as follows:

1. Remove OIL DRAIN HOSE from its retaining clip.

2. Loosen and remove OIL DRAIN HOSE CAP. Drain

oil completely into suitable container.

3. When all oil has drained, install and tighten OIL

DRAIN HOSE CAP, and re-install into its retaining

clip.

4. Turn OIL FILTER (Figure 4.1) counterclockwise

and remove. Properly dispose of old filter.

DIPSTICK “FULL” MARK. Crankcase oil capacity

is 4.0 U.S. quarts (3.8 liters).

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.

4.8.11 CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER

To replace the engine air cleaner, (part number

059402), simply remove the air cleaner cover and

replace the air filter making sure it is positioned

properly before reattaching the cover (Figure 4.1).

See the “Service Schedule,” for air cleaner mainte-

nance.

4.8.12 SPARK PLUGS

Reset the spark plug gap or replace the spark plugs

as necessary (Figure 4.4). 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 com-

mercial solvent. Do not blast the spark plugs to

clean.

2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition.

Replace the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is

questionable. See the “Service Schedule,” Section

6, for recommended inspection.

3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler

gauge. Adjust the gap to 1.07-1.17 mm (0.042-

0.046 inch) by carefully bending the ground elec-

trode (Figure 4.2).

Figure 4.4 – Setting the Spark Plug Gap

4.8.13 COOLANT CHANGE

Every year, have an Authorized Service Facility drain,

flush and refill the cooling system. See

“Specifications” for cooling system recommenda-

tions.

4.9 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. Use a

vacuum system or dry, low pressure air to remove

any accumulations of dirt. The generator is housed

inside an all-weather enclosure, clean the enclosure

with a soft, damp cloth or sponge and water.

Once each year have the generator cleaned and

inspected by an Authorized Service Dealer. That deal-

er 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. If insulation resistances are

excessively low, the generator may require drying.

4.9.2 BATTERY

All lead-acid storage batteries discharge when not in

use. Refer to specific instructions and warnings that

accompany the battery. If such information is not

available, observe the following precautions when

handling a battery:

• DO NOT use jumper cables and a booster battery

to crank or start the generator engine.

• DO NOT recharge a weak battery while it is

installed in the generator. Remove battery from

generator and recharge in a well-ventilated area,

away from fuel vapors, sparks, heat or flames.

• Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic

sulfuric solution that can cause severe burns. DO

NOT permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing,

painted surfaces, wiring insulation, etc. If any bat-

tery fluid is spilled, flush the affected area with

clear water immediately.

• Always wear safety glasses, rubber apron and

gloves when handling a battery.

• Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas while

charging. The gas can form an explosive mixture

around the battery for several hours after charging.

Any spark, heat or flames can ignite the gas and

cause an explosion which can shatter the battery,

causing blindness or other serious injury.



Section 4 — Maintenance

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

SET PLUG GAP AT 1.07 - 1.17 mm

(0.042 - 0.046 inch)

4.9.3 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

The battery should be inspected per Section 4.7,

Scheduled Maintenance. The following procedure

should be followed for inspection:

1. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness

and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.

2. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries

and, if necessary, fill with DISTILLED WATER

ONLY. Do not use tap water in batteries.

3. Have the state of charge and condition checked.

This should be done with an automotive-type bat-

tery hydrometer.

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen

gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture

around the battery for several hours after

charging. The slightest spark can ignite the gas

and cause an explosion. Such an explosion can

shatter the battery and cause blindness or

other injury. Any area that houses a storage

battery must be properly ventilated. Do not

allow smoking, open flame, sparks or any spark

producing tools or equipment near the battery.

Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely corro-

sive sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe

burns. Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin,

clothing, painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective

goggles, protective clothing and gloves when

handling a battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the

affected area immediately with clear water.

Do not use any jumper cables or booster bat-

tery to crank and start the generator engine. If

the battery has completely discharged, remove

it from the generator for recharging.

Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to

the OFF position, before connecting the battery

cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL,

the generator can crank and start as soon as

the battery cables are connected.

Be sure the utility power supply to the battery

charger is turned off, or sparking may occur at

the battery posts as the cables are attached

and cause an explosion.

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. They will need to be decreased (performed more frequently) if the unit is used in a severe application.

Use calendar time from the previous maintenance interval to determine the next required maintenance interval.

Service Maintenance Interval Information:

The various service maintenance intervals are designated by interval numbers as follows:

1An early inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate when required and to identify any poten-

tial problem areas.

Performed monthly this requires approximately .5 man-hours per unit to complete.

This inspection may be performed by the end user providing the following safety steps are taken to prevent

the engine from starting automatically without warning:

To prevent injury, perform the following steps in the order indicated before starting any maintenance:

• Disable the generator set from starting and/or connecting to the load by setting the control panel

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF position.

• Remove the 5 amp and 15 amp control panel fuses.

• Turn off the battery charger (turn OFF utility supply to ATS).

• Remove the negative battery cable.

The battery charger must be turned off BEFORE removing the battery cable to prevent an over current condi-

tion from burning out sensitive control panel components and circuits.

Following all maintenance, reverse these steps to assure the unit is returned to standby setup for normal

operation when required.

2A break-in service inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when

required, and to identify any potential problem areas.

Performed ONLY ONCE following the first three months of operation after purchase of the unit and requires

approximately 2.5 man-hours per unit to complete.

This inspection contains some maintenance tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge

to accomplish and should be performed only by an Authorized Service Dealer.

3An operational inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when required,

and to identify any potential problem areas.

Performed semi-annually this requires approximately 1.5 man-hours per unit to complete.

This inspection contains some maintenance tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge

to accomplish and should be performed only by an Authorized Service Dealer.

4A mid-level inspection of the generator set to insure it is ready to operate and carry the load when required, and

to identify any potential problem areas.

Performed annually this requires approximately 4.0 man-hours per unit to complete.

This inspection contains some maintenance tasks which require special tools, equipment, and/or knowledge

to accomplish and should be performed only by an Authorized Service Dealer.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the Emission

Control System Warranty on your new engine.*In California, new utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be

designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. Generac will warrant the emission control

system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modifi-

cation or improper maintenance of your engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Generac will

repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

Emissions control systems on 1995 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, dur-

ing such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials or

workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.

PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory

supplied Owner’s Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance

on your engine. However, Generac cannot deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the

completion of all scheduled maintenance.

As the engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or

responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect , improper maintenance or unap-

proved modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.

You are responsible for presenting your engine to a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer as soon as a prob-

lem occurs. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.

To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer nearest you, call our toll-free number:

1-800-333-1322

IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System

Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California law. See also the “Generac Power

Systems, Inc., Two Year Limited Warranty” which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by Generac.

The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in terms between

the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Generac

Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty describe important rights

and obligations with respect to your new engine.

Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer. When requesting warranty serv-

ice, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at the fol-

lowing address:

Part 1

Section 10 – Warranty

Liquid-cooled 15, 20 and 25 kW Generators

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1995 and later model year engines:

(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on

the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall con-

tinue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or

equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is ...

(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the CARB pursuant to its

authority, and

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a war-

ranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine man-

ufacturer’s application for certification.

(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s

Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall

be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the

ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner’s Manual

shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or

replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS

Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s

Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part

fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection

(4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the

remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no

charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer.

(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Dealer, the owner shall not be held responsi-

ble for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.

(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused

by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.

(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient

to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.

(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS

Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac

ECS Warranty obligations.

(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac

engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim.

Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of

such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.

EMISSION RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

*Generac engine types covered by this warranty statement include the following:
