Magnum MMG330 Generator Set

The Magnum MMG330 is a 290 kW (363 kVA) Diesel standby generator set powered by a John Deere PE609HFG95 engine. It is available at 208 V and 480 V, 3-phase and 60 Hz. It holds 70.9 L (18.7 gal) of coolant, with a maximum ambient rating of 48.9 °C. Starting uses 2 group-31 batteries rated 1000 CCA at 12 V. The set measures 4343×1524×2286 mm (171.0×60.0×90.0 in), weighs about 4285 kg (9447 lb) and produces 68 dBA at 7 m. An integrated tank holds 1738 L (459.1 gal), roughly 23 hours of runtime. The same PE609HFG95 engine also powers generator sets from Generac.

Procedures

3
Checking Generator Drive Plate Torque maintenance
  1. Disconnect the engine starting battery
  2. Remove the generator fan guard
  3. Torque each of the drive plate bolts to the specification (MMG330: 33 ft-lb / 45 Nm)
  4. Reinstall the generator fan guard and reconnect the battery
Resetting of the Time to Service Reminder maintenance
  1. With the unit shut down, power up the controller with the Control On/Off toggle switch
  2. Press Page Select until Engine Protect line is reached and press Enter
  3. "WrnMaintanance" appears with the current service time hour setting below it
  4. Press Enter; current run time in hours appears on the display
  5. Reset the current run time hour setting to 250
  6. Press Enter to save the run time hour setting
  7. Move the Control On/I toggle switch to Control Off/O
Towing the Trailer / Wheel Lug Torque Sequence maintenance
  1. Start all lug nuts by hand
  2. First pass: tighten to 20-25 ft-lbs (27-33 Nm)
  3. Second pass: tighten to 50-60 ft-lbs (67-81 Nm)
  4. Third pass: tighten to 90-120 ft-lbs (122-162 Nm)
  5. After the first road use, re-torque the lug nuts in sequence

Troubleshooting

Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
LOW FUEL LEVEL SHUT DOWNFuel level is low or fuel tank has leaks.Check the fuel level on the LCD window. Ensure no leaks in the fuel tank. Check the fuel level sender and connecting wiring for damage.
LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWNOil pressure is less than 20 psi (138kPa).Check the engine oil level with a dipstick. Add oil if required. Visually inspect for oil leaks. If oil level is good, restart and verify loss of oil pressure. Check the oil pressure sender.
LOW COOLANT LEVEL SHUT DOWNAllow engine to cool. Check coolant level in the radiator. Access the radiator cap by removing the access panel.
High Coolant Temperature shut down1. Check the coolant level in the overflow jug. 2. Restart the engine and read the coolant temperature to verify High Coolant Temperature shut down. Stop the engine immediately if the coolant temperature is 230°F (110°C) or more. 3. Allow the engine to cool. Add coolant to the overflow jug if it is low and then check the level of coolant in the radiator. To access the radiator cap, you must remove the access panel from the top of the enclosure directly above the radiator. Add coolant until it is 3/4 in (2 cm) below the filler neck. Secure the radiator cap back into its original position. 4. Check the radiator shroud and ducting for blockage and remove any foreign matter. 5. Inspect coolant hoses, engine block and water pump for visible leaks. 6. Check the tension of the serpentine drive belt for the water pump. 7. If no other problems are found, remove the load on the generator and restart the engine. Check the coolant temperature and shut the engine down immediately if it starts to overheat.
Overcrank shut down1. Check the fuel level in the tank. 2. Check for proper operation of the fuel pump. 3. Check air filter for blockage. 4. If the engine will not start, consult the engine operation and maintenance manual for additional information on troubleshooting starting problems.
Overspeed or underspeed shut down1. Disconnect all loads and restart the generator. Read the frequency (Hz) on the LCD display. With no loads on the generator, the frequency should read 60.0 Hz. 2. If the frequency is above or below 60.0 Hz, the engine speed will have to be adjusted. See the engine manual for throttle adjustments on mechanical governed units and see the electronic governor manual for electronically controlled units.
