Procedures
11Brake Adjustment (Trailer) adjustment
⚠ ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing or installing force fitted parts.
Tools: Jack stands, Screwdriver or standard adjusting tool
- Place the trailer on jack stands on secure level ground.
- Check the wheel and drum for free rotation.
- Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot at bottom brake backing plate.
- With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate star wheel to expand brake shoes.
- Adjust shoes outward until lining against drum makes wheel difficult to turn.
- Rotate star wheel in opposite direction until wheel rotates freely with slight lining drag.
- Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower trailer to the ground.
- Repeat steps on remaining brakes.
Connecting 3Ø-240V UVWO Terminal Output installation
⚠ NEVER place jumper plates on the voltage change-over board while generator is in operation.
- Jumper the voltage change-over board for 240V operation.
- Connect the load wires to the UVWO terminals.
- Turn the voltage regulator knob clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease voltage output.
Connecting 3Ø-480V UVWO Terminal Output installation
⚠ ALWAYS make sure connections to the UVWO terminals are secure and tight; arcing could cause a fire.
- Jumper the voltage change-over board for 480V operation using 6 jumper plates in 3 positions.
- Every jumper plate must be used.
- Connect the load wires to the UVWO terminals.
Battery Cable Installation maintenance
⚠ ALWAYS disconnect the negative terminal FIRST and reconnect negative terminal LAST.
⚠ Incorrect battery cable connection will cause electrical damage.
- NEVER connect battery cables when MPEC Control Switch is in MANUAL position; set to OFF/RESET.
- Place a small amount of battery terminal treatment compound around both terminals.
- Red cable to positive terminal, black cable to negative terminal.
Flushing Out Radiator and Replacing Coolant maintenance
⚠ Allow engine to cool when flushing out radiator. Flushing while hot could cause serious burns from water or steam.
- Open both cocks at crankcase side and lower radiator and drain coolant.
- Open radiator cap while draining. Remove overflow tank and drain.
- Check hoses for softening and kinks; check clamps for leakage.
- Tighten both cocks and replace overflow tank.
- Replace with coolant as recommended by engine manufacturer.
- Close radiator cap tightly.
- Flush radiator by running clean tap water until rust and dirt removed.
Generator Storage (Long Term) maintenance
- Drain the fuel tank completely; treat with fuel stabilizer if necessary.
- Completely drain oil from crankcase and refill with fresh oil.
- Clean 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 mounted on a trailer, jack trailer up and place on blocks.
Refueling Procedure maintenance
⚠ Diesel fuel and its vapors are dangerous to health; avoid skin contact and inhaling fumes.
⚠ DO NOT OVERFILL fuel system; leave room for fuel expansion.
⚠ NEVER smoke around or near the generator.
- Level tanks - make sure fuel cells are level with the ground.
- Open cabinet doors on the right side of the generator.
- Remove fuel cap and fill tank.
- NEVER overfill fuel tank; read fuel gauge when filling.
Replacing Fuel Filter maintenance
⚠ DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.
- 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 fuel in fuel body together with the mixed water.
- Vent any air.
Replacing Oil Filter maintenance
- Remove the old oil filter.
- Apply a film of oil to the gasket on the new oil filter.
- Install the new oil filter.
- Run the engine for a while and check for leaks before adding more oil.
- Clean excessive oil from engine.
Generator Start-Up Procedure (Manual) operation
⚠ NEVER manually start the engine with the main, GFCI or auxiliary circuit breakers in the ON (closed) position.
- Place main, GFCI and aux. circuit breakers in OFF position.
- Make sure voltage change-over board is configured for desired output voltage.
- Connect load to receptacles or output terminal lugs.
- Tighten terminal nuts securely to prevent load wires slipping out.
- Close all engine enclosure doors.
- Place engine speed switch in LOW (down) position.
- Place MPEC control switch in MANUAL position to start engine.
- Let engine run 1-2 minutes, then place engine speed switch in HIGH.
Normal Shutdown Procedure operation
⚠ NEVER stop the engine suddenly except in an emergency.
- Place MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers to OFF position.
- Place engine speed switch in LOW (down) position.
- Let engine cool by running at low speed 3-5 minutes with no load.
- Place MPEC Control Switch to OFF/RESET position.
- Verify all status LEDs on MPEC display are OFF.
- Remove all loads from generator.
- Inspect generator for damage or loosening of components.
