Procedures

Gaseous Fuel Adjustments adjustment

⚠ Fuel is highly flammable and may cause severe personal injury and property damage. Do not allow cigarettes, flame, pilot lights, arcing switches or equipment in area or areas sharing ventilation.

Tools: exhaust gas analyzer (for emission sensitive areas)

Start engine and let the set warm up under a partial load (at least 1/4 rated load).
If no-load through 1/4 load instability: disconnect loads, shut down, disconnect governor linkage at carburetor.
Start engine and hold throttle closed by hand; adjust throttle idle position screw for 25-35 Hz.
Turn idle adjusting screw counterclockwise until speed becomes unstable; turn clockwise just enough to regain stability and reconnect governor linkage.

Thread pickup in gently by hand until it just touches the ring gear tooth.
Back the pickup out 1/4 turn and set the locknut.
Verify MPU output voltage at cranking speed is at least 1.5 VAC; replace MPU if less.

Type A Gaseous Fuel Adjustment (Naturally Aspirated) adjustment

⚠ Gaseous fuels are flammable and explosive

Disconnect all loads, shut down set, and disconnect governor linkage at the carburetor.
Start engine and hold throttle closed by hand to prevent overspeed.
Adjust throttle idle position screw to obtain a frequency of 25-35 Hz.
Turn idle adjusting screw counterclockwise until engine becomes unstable, then clockwise to regain stability.
Reconnect governor linkage.
Connect full rated load and turn main fuel valve to full-rich, then lean until engine loses speed, then back to rich.
If equipped for LPG, switch to LPG and adjust LPG flow valve similarly under full load.

Verify Overspeed Fault Detection diagnostic

Tools: special tool P/N 420-0604

For Type A sets, move the throttle lever/linkage to increase RPM to the overspeed shutdown range.
For Type B sets, remove the two screws securing the throttle body cover and remove cover.
Use special tool P/N 420-0604 to turn the end of the throttle shaft.
With genset operating at no load, slowly rotate the shaft clockwise until RPM reaches the overspeed limit and shuts down.
Replace the throttle body cover after completing the test.

AC Electrical Connections installation

⚠ Do not connect generator set directly to any building electrical system

⚠ Reconfiguring to different voltages can damage generator or windings; consult distributor

Place the control panel run switch in OFF position; remove AC power from battery charger; remove negative battery cable.
Install transfer switch for standby service applications.
Reconfigure generator output leads on connection terminal block per Reconnection Diagram as needed for nameplate voltage.
Bolt stranded load wires to the appropriate U/V/W/N terminals.
Balance loads so current flow from each line terminal is within 10 percent of median value.
Install current transformers (CT21/CT22/CT23) per Reconnection Diagram with dot facing toward the generator.
Ground the genset to earth in one location only.

AC Voltage Reconnection installation

⚠ Reconfiguring to higher voltages can exceed winding voltage capability and damage generator

⚠ Reconfiguring to lower voltages can increase line current beyond breaker rating

Check available generator output voltages and maximum current ratings on generator nameplate.
Reconfigure generator output leads per Reconnection Diagram on control housing side access cover if required.
Check stator lead terminal block connections and perform necessary reconnect to obtain required voltage.
Route current transformers (CT1, CT2, CT3) per Reconnection Diagram, dot facing generator, current flowing into dot.

Exhaust System Installation installation

⚠ Inhalation of exhaust gases can result in severe personal injury or death

Pipe exhaust gases to outside of enclosure, locating outlets away from air inlets.
Use sealed joint type (NPT) fittings for indoor installations.
Install approved thimble where exhaust pipes pass through walls or partitions.
Pitch horizontal exhaust pipe runs downward away from engine; install condensation trap if pipe must turn upward.
Shield or insulate exhaust lines; allow at least 12 inches (305 mm) clearance from combustible walls.
Use flexible exhaust pipe section between engine and remainder of exhaust system.

Fuel System Installation installation

⚠ Fuel leaks create fire and explosion hazards which can result in severe personal injury or death

Use flexible fuel hose(s) between engine fuel system and fuel supply line.
Install dry-type fuel filter ahead of service pressure regulator.
Route and secure fuel lines maintaining 2 inch (51 mm) minimum clearance from electrical wiring and hot exhaust parts.
Install manual and electric shutoff valves ahead of flexible fuel hose(s).
Test all fuel-system connections for leaks with soap and water solution while system is under pressure (LP minimum 90 psi/621 kPa at primary regulator inlet).

Mounting the Generator Set installation

⚠ Use of unapproved isolators may result in harmful resonances and void warranty

Mount generator set on substantial, level, non-combustible base such as concrete pad.
Use 5/8 inch or 16 mm anchored mounting bolts to secure skid to floor.
Secure skid using flat washer and hex nut for each bolt.
Insert 1-1/2 x 6 inch pipe over mounting bolts to allow adjustment alignment to skid holes.
Provide at least 1 meter (3 feet) clearance on all sides for maintenance and service access.

Ventilation and Cooling Installation installation

⚠ Engine/radiator cooling air may carry deadly carbon monoxide; must be discharged outdoors

Discharge all radiator cooling air to the outdoors.
Size vents/ducts so free area is as large as the exposed radiator area.
Make inlet vent opening 1-1/2 times larger than the radiator area.
Locate cooling air outlet directly in front of and as close as possible to the radiator.
Attach a removable canvas or sheet metal duct to the air outlet opening.

Air Filter Cleaning maintenance

⚠ Do not clean filter housing while still installed. Loose dirt entering intake could damage carburetor or engine.

Tools: low pressure air source (30 psi)

Remove wing nut in center of filter cover; remove cover and filter.
