WARNING - ROTATING PARTS
Wet-Stacking is a common problem with diesel engines
which are operated for extended periods with light or no
load applied. When a diesel engine operates without
sufficient load (less than 40% of the rated output) it will
not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow
unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system, which
can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and exhaust
system, including turbocharges, and reduce the operating
performance.
In order for a diesel engine to operate at peak efficiency it
must be able to provide fuel and air in the proper ratio and
at a high enough engine temperature for the engine to
completely burn all of the fuel.
Wet stacking does usually cause any permanent damage
and can be alleviated if additional load is applied to relieve
the condition. It can reduce the system performance and
increase maintenance. Applying an increasing load over a
period of time until the excess fuel is burned off and the
system capacity is reached usually can repair the condition.
This can take several hours to burn off the accumulated
unburned fuel.
CAUTION - ENGINE LOAD (WET-STACKING)

Outdoor Installation
Install the generator in a area that is free of debris,
bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the
generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or
shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that
the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby
homes.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to
engine and alternator parts.
Generator Grounding
To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to
the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH
ground.
Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
provides guide lines for proper grounding and specifies that
the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system
of the building as close to the point of cable entry as

DCA-20SPX — INSTALLATION
NOTE
Indoor Installation
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous.
Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes
must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed
at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust
pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive
back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively
and possibly burn the valves.
Mounting
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation (such
as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to isolate
vibration of the generator when it is running. The generator
must set at least 6 inches above the floor or grade level (in
accordance to NFPA 110, Chapter 5-4.1). DO NOT remove
the metal skids on the bottom of the generator. They are to
resist damage to the bottom of the generator and to maintain
alignment.
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the
generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust
contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be routed
to a ventilated area.

Four output terminal lugs (1Ø power)
Battery Charger (Optional)
Water Heater (Optional)
Open Delta Excitation System
The DCA-20SPX generator is equipped with the state of the
art "
Open-Delta
" excitation system. The open delta system
consist of an electrically independent winding wound among
stationary windings of the AC output section.
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and D.
During steady state loads, the power from the voltage regulator
is supplied from the parallel connections of A to B, A to D,
and C to D. These three phases of the voltage input to the
voltage regulator are then rectified and are the excitation
current for the exciter section.
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short
circuit occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
switches the configuration of the open delta to the series
connection of B to C. This has the effect of adding the voltages
of each phase to provide higher excitation to the exciter
section and thus better voltage response during the
application of heavy loads.
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The
excitation does not have a "
fixed ceiling
" and responds
according the demands of the required load.
Engine
The DCA-20SPX is powered by a 4 cylinder, water cooled,
direct injection,
Isuzu Model AA-4LE2 diesel engine
. This
engine is designed to meet every performance requirement
for the generator. Reference Table 1 for engine specifications.
In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
Electric Governor System
The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the en-
gine. When the engine demand increases or decreases, the
governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.25%.
Extension Cables
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or
loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords
are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for
distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop
between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a
minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 6) as a guide
for selecting proper extension cable size.

charging system.
6. Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.
7. Tachometer – Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 60
Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1800 RPM’s
when the rated load is applied. In addition a built in hour
meter will record the number of operational hours that
the generator has been in use.
8. Fuel Filter Water Level Alarm Lamp– This lamp will
illuminate when an excessive amount of water has
accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water in the strainer
immediately if this lamp is on.
A. MPEC Control Switch – This switch controls the
running of the unit. If this switch is set to the
OFF/RESET position, the unit will not run. When this
switch is set to the MANUAL position, the generator
will start immediately.
If the generator is to be connected to a building’s AC
power source via an automatic transfer switch
(isolation), place the switch in the AUTO position. In
this position, should an outage occur, the automatic
transfer switch (ATS) will start the generator
automatically via the generator’s auto-start contacts
connected to the ATS’s start contacts. Please refer to
your ATS installation manual for further instructions for
the correct installation of the auto-start contacts of the
generator to the ATS.
B. Low Oil Pressure – Indicates the engine pressure has
fallen below 14 psi (97 kPa). The oil pressure is detected
using variable resistive values from the oil pressure
sending unit. This is considered a
major
fault.
C. High Coolant Temperature – Indicates the engine
temperature has exceeded 221
°
F. (105°C). The engine
temperature is detected using variable resistive values
from the temperature sending unit. This is considered
a
major

a safe operating speed.
If the engine does not engage (start) by the third attempt,
the engine will be shutdown by the engine controller’s
Over
Crank Protection
mode. If the engine engages at a speed
(RPM's) that is not safe, the controller will shutdown the
engine by initializing the
Over Speed Protection
mode.
Also the engine controller will shut down the engine in the
event of low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low
coolant level, and loss of magnetic pickup. These conditions
can be observed by monitoring the LED status indicators on
the front of the controller module.
9. Auto On/Off Engine Controller (MPEC) –
This controller has a vertical row of status LED's (inset),
that when lit, indicate that an engine malfunction (fault)
has been detected. When a fault
has been detected the engine
controller will evaluate the fault
and all major faults will shutdown
the generator. During

DCA-20SPX — LOAD APPLICATION/MAXIMUM AMPERAGE
Single Phase Load
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage,
frequency
,
and voltage requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the
generator for operating the equipment.
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the
equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require 130—
150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as
the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor and
starting system of the equipment.
Motors and motor-driven
equipment draw much greater
current for starting than during
operation.
When connecting ordinary power tools, a capacity of up to
the generating set’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.8 can
be used.
If wattage is not given on the
equipment's name plate,
approximate wattage may be
determined by multiplying
nameplate voltage by the
nameplate amperage.
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 5 below
when connecting loads.
When connecting a resistance load such as an
incandescent lamp or electric heater, a capacity of up to
the generating set’s rated output (kW) can be used.
When connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a
capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW)
multiplied by 0.6 can be used.
When connecting an electric drill or other power tools,
pay close attention to the required starting current
capacity.
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE
NOTE
An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry the
required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn out
the appliance or tool and overheat the cable. See Table 6.
NOTE
Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical
system, a
licensed
electrician
must install an
isolation
(transfer)
switch
. Serious damage to the building’s
electrical system may occur without this transfer switch.

Coolant (Antifreeze/Summer Coolant/Water)
ISUZU recommends antifreeze/summer coolant for use in
their engines, which can be purchased in concentrate (and
mixed with 50% demineralized water) or pre-diluted. See
the ISUZU Engine Owner's Manual for further details.
Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the recovery
tank. When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT remove
the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See
Table 9 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant
capacities. Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank
is always between the "H" and the "L" markings.
Operation Freezing Weather
When operating in freezing weather, be certain the proper
amount of antifreeze (Table 10) has been added.
Cleaning the Radiator
The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the radiator
fins with compressed air. Cleaning inside the machine is
dangerous, so clean only with the engine turned off and the
negative
battery terminal disconnected.
Air Cleaner
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it in
accordance with the ISUZU Engine Owner's Manual.
Fan Belt Tension
A slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or to
insufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt for
damage and wear and adjust it in accordance with the ISUZU
Engine Owner's Manual.
The fan belt tension is proper if the fan belt bends 10 to 15
mm (Figure 26) when depressed with the thumb as shown
below.
Figure 26. Fan Belt Tension
DCA-20SPX — SETUP
When the antifreeze is mixed with
water, the antifreeze mixing ratio
must be
less than 50%.
NOTE
If adding coolant/antifreeze mix to the
radiator, DO NOT remove the radiator cap
until the unit has completely cooled. The
possibility of
hot!
coolant exists which
can cause severe burns.
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS
NEVER place hands near

When connecting battery do the following:
1. NEVER connect the battery cables to the battery
terminals when the
MPEC Control Switch
is in either
the MANUAL position. ALWAYS make sure that the
MPEC
Control Switch
is in the OFF/RESET position when
connecting the battery.
2. Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment
compound around both battery terminals. This will ensure
a good connection and will help prevent corrosion around
the battery terminals.
Figure 27. Battery Connections
ALWAYS
disconnect the negative terminal FIRST and
reconnect negative terminal LAST.
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor starting
of the generator, and create other malfunctions.
Alternator
The polarity of the alternator is negative grounding type. When
an inverted circuit connection takes place, the circuit will be
in short circuit instantaneously resulting the alternator failure.
DO NOT put water directly on the alternator. Entry of water
into the alternator can cause corrision and damage the
alternator.
Wiring
Inspect the entire generator for bad or worn electrical wiring
or connections. If any wiring or connections are exposed
(insulation missing) replace wiring immediately.
Piping and Hose Connection
Inspect all piping, oil hose, and fuel hose connections for
wear and tightness. Tighten all hose clamps and check hoses
for leaks.
If any hose (
fuel
or
oil
) lines are defective replace them
immediately.
If the battery cable is connected
incorrectly, electrical damage to the
generator will occur. Pay close
attention to the polarity of the
battery when connecting the
battery.
NOTE
Battery
This unit is of negative ground DO NOT connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level are not
properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary.
DO NOT over fill. Check to see whether the battery cables
are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting or
malfunctions.
Always
keep the terminals firmly tightened.
Coating the terminals with an approved battery terminal
treatment compound. Replace battery with only
recommended type battery.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of
the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is
dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.
Battery Cable Installation
ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 27) are properly
connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The Red

Service Daily
If the engine is operating in very
dusty
or
dry grass
conditions, a clogged air cleaner will result. This can lead to
a loss of power, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion
chamber and high fuel consumption. Change air cleaner
more
frequently
if these conditions exists.
Fuel Addition
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season
and locations).
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel
tank for water contamination and drain the contents if
required.
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.
General Inspection
Prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and
inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or
damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel,
oil, and coolant leaks. Use Table 11 as a general maintenance
guideline Engine Side (Refer to the Engine Instruction
Manual)
Air Cleaner
Every 250 hours: Remove air cleaner element and clean the
heavy duty paper element with light spray of compressed
air. Replace the air cleaner as needed.
Air Cleaner with Dust Indicator
This indicator is attached to the air cleaner. When the air
cleaner element is clogged, air intake restriction becomes
greater and the dust indicator signal shows RED meaning
the element needs changing or service. After changing the
air element, press the dust indicator button to reset the
indicator.

Generator Storage
For longe term storage of the generator the following is
recommended:
Fill the fuel tank completely. Treat with a fuel stabilizer
if necessary.
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if
necessary with fresh oil.
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.
Disconnect the battery.
Make sure engine coolant is at proper level.
If generator is mounted on a trailer, jack trailer up and
place on blocks so tires do not touch the ground or block
and completely remove the tires.
Flushing Out Radiator and Replacing Coolant
Open both cocks located at the crankcase side and at
the lower part of the radiator and drain coolant. Open the
radiator cap while draining. Remove the overflow tank
and drain.
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for
signs of leakage.
Flush the radiator by running clean tap water through
radiator until signs of rust and dirt are removed. DO NOT
clean radiator core with any objects, such as a
screwdriver.
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine
manufaturer.
Close radiator cap tightly.
Air Removal
If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine,
starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel, or
after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system
according to the following procedure. See the
VOLVO Engine
Manual
for details.
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the switch to the
ON position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This
unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.
Check Oil Level
Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the
fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe damage
to the engine. Make sure the generator is level. The oil level
must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown
in Figure 31.
Replacing Oil Filter
Remove the old oil filter.
Apply a film of oil to the gasket on the new oil filter.
Install the new oil filter.
After the oil cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil
will drop slightly. Run the engine for a while and check
for leaks before adding more oil if needed. Clean
excessive oil from engine.
Allow engine to
cool
when flushing out
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot
could cause serious burns from water or
steam.
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS
Replacing Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 500
hours or so.
Loosen the drain plug at the lower top of the fuel filter.
Drain the fuel in the fuel body together with the mixed
water. DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.
Vent any air.
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer
Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove
dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline.
Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not
leak. Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or
once a month.

DCA-20SPX — MAINTENANCE
To ensure adequate starting
capability, always have power
applied to the generator's
internal battery charger
.
NOTE
Figure 43. Battery Charger &
Jacket Water Heater Power Connections
Jacket Water Heater and Internal Battery Charger
120 VAC Input Receptacles (OPTIONAL)
This generator can be optionally equipped with two 120 VAC,
20 amp input receptacles located on the output terminal
panel.
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via
commercial power to the
jacket water heater
and
internal
battery charger
.
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial
power has been supplied to them (Figure 43). To apply
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of
adequate size will be required (See Table 6).
When using the generator in
hot
climates there is no reason
to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the
generator will be used in
cold
climates it is always a good
idea to apply power to the jacket water heater at all times. To
apply power to the jacket water heater simply apply power to
the jacket water heater receptacle via commercial power
using an power cord of adequate size.
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should normally
not require charging. If the generator will be idle (not used)
for long periods of time, apply power to the battery charger
receptacle via commercial power using an power cord of
adequate size.

Hydraulic Surge Brakes
Hydraulic surge brakes (Figure 44) should not require any
special attention with the exception of routine maintenance
such as shoe and lining replacement. Brake lines should be
periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.
Figure 44. Hydraulic Brake Components
Brakes
Trailer brakes should be inspected the
first 200 miles
of
operation. This will allow the brake shoes and drums to seat
properly. After the first 200 mile interval, inspect the brakes
every 3,000 miles
. If driving over rough terrain, inspect the
brakes more frequently.
Figure 44 displays the major hydraulic surge brake
components that will require inspection and maintenance.
Please inspect these components as required using steps 1
through 8 and Table 15 as listed below:
Brake Adjustment
1. Place the trailer on jack stands. Make sure the jack
stands are placed on secure level ground.
2. Check the wheel and drum for free rotation.
3. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot
at the bottom brake backing plate.
4. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the
star wheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake
shoes.
5. Adjust the brake shoes outward until the pressure of the
lining against the wheel drum makes the wheel difficult
to turn.
6. Adjust, rotate the star wheel in the opposite direction
until the wheel rotates freely with slight lining drag.
7. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the trailer to
the ground.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 on the remaining brakes.
Actuator
Hydraulic surge braking requires the installation of an actuator
at the tongue of the trailer. Remember the
surge
or
push
of
the trailer toward the tow vehicle automatically synchronizes
the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes. As the trailer
pushes against the tow vehicle the actuator telescopes
together and applies force to the master cylinder, supplying
hydraulic pressure to the trailer brakes.
Periodically check and test the surge
actuator
to make
sure that it is functioning correctly. Never use an undersize
actuator.

Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical
components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the
trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are
properly matched.
Tire Wear/Inflation
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.
Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO NOT
bleed air from tires when they are
hot!
. Check inflation
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life
and tread wear.
Table 13 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
Suspension
The
leaf suspension
springs and associated components
(Figure 45) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles
for signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and
loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts
(suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components
as detailed in Table 14.
