SAFETY INFORMATION  
ENGINE SAFETY  
DANGER  
NOTICE  
NEVER run engine without an air filter or with a dirty air  
filter.Severe engine damage may occur.Service air filter  
frequently to prevent engine malfunction.  
The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon  
monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can  
cause death if inhaled.  
NEVER tamper with the factory settings  
of the engine or engine governor. Damage  
to the engine or equipment can result  
if operating in speed ranges above the  
maximum allowable.  
The engine of this equipment  
requires an adequate free  
flow of cooling air. NEVER  
operate this equipment in  
any enclosed or narrow area  
where free flow of the air is  
restricted. If the air flow is  
restricted it will cause injury to people and property and  
serious damage to the equipment or engine.  
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 turbochargers, and reduce  
the operating performance.  
WARNING  
DO NOT place hands or fingers inside engine  
compartment when engine is running.  
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.  
NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or  
guards removed.  
Keep fingers, hands hair and clothing away  
from all moving parts to prevent injury.  
Wet stacking does not 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.  
DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the  
engine is hot. High pressure boiling water  
will gush out of the radiator and severely  
scald any persons in the general area of  
the generator.  
DO NOT remove the coolant drain plug while the engine  
is hot. Hot coolant will gush out of the coolant tank and  
severely scald any persons in the general area of the  
generator.  
State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources  
Codes specify that in certain locations, spark arresters  
must be used on internal combustion engines that use  
hydrocarbon fuels.A spark arrester is a device designed  
to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames  
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified  
and rated by the United States Forest Service for this  
purpose. In order to comply with local laws regarding  
spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the  
local Health and Safety Administrator.  
DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the  
engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the oil tank and  
severely scald any persons in the general area of the  
generator.  
CAUTION  
NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold,  
muffler or cylinder.Allow these parts to cool  
before servicing equipment.

Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle  
are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross  
vehicle weight rating.”  
FUEL SAFETY  
DANGER  
DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible  
fluids. Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and its vapors  
can cause an explosion if ignited.  
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER  
tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.  
Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and  
trailer. Trailer tires should be inflated to 50 psi cold.  
Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.  
ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from  
sparks and open flames.  
ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with  
flammable liquids.  
ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a safety  
chain.  
DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running  
or hot.  
ALWAYS properly attach trailer’s safety chains to towing  
vehicle.  
DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it  
comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from  
the ignition system.  
ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional,  
backup, brake and trailer lights are connected and  
working properly.  
Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated  
areas and away from sparks and flames.  
DOT Requirements include the following:  
• Connect and test electric brake operation.  
NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.  
• Secure portable power cables in cable tray with tie  
wraps.  
DO NOT smoke around or near the  
equipment. Fire or explosion could result  
from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a  
hot engine.  
The maximum speed for highway towing is 55 MPH unless  
posted otherwise.Recommended off-road towing is not to  
exceed 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.  
TOWING SAFETY  
CAUTION  
Avoid sudden stops and starts.This can cause skidding,  
or jack-knifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will  
improve towing.  
Check with your local county or state safety  
towing regulations, in addition to meeting  
Department of Transportation (DOT)  
SafetyTowing Regulations, before towing  
your generator.  
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.  
Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times  
when towing.  
Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in up position when  
towing.  
Refer to MQ Power trailer manual for additional safety  
information.  
Place chock blocks underneath wheel to prevent rolling  
while parked.  
In order to reduce the possibility of an accident while  
transporting the generator on public roads, ALWAYS  
make sure the trailer that supports the generator and  
the towing vehicle are mechanically sound and in good  
operating condition.  
Place support blocks underneath the trailer’s bumper  
to prevent tipping while parked.  
Use the trailer’s swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to  
a level position while parked.  
ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting

INSTALLATION  
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION  
GENERATOR GROUNDING  
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.  
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 practical.  
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.  
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following  
grounding requirements:  
1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the  
generator to earth ground.  
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive  
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to  
engine and alternator parts.  
a. Copper - 8 AWG (5.3 mm2)  
b. Aluminum - 6 AWG (8.4 mm2)  
CAUTION  
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.  
2. When grounding the generator (Figure 2) connect the  
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on  
the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the  
other end of the ground cable to earth ground.  
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground rod  
should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.  
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.  
NOTICE  
When connecting the generator to any buildings  
electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed  
electrician.  
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION  
GENERATOR  
OPEN DELTA EXCITATION SYSTEM  
The MQ Power Model DCA250SSI/DCA250SSIU are 220  
kW generators (Figure 3) that are designed as a high quality  
portable (requires a trailer for transport) power source for  
telecom sites, lighting facilities, power tools, submersible  
pumps and other industrial and construction machinery.  
These generators are 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

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.

LOAD APPLICATION  
SINGLE PHASE LOAD  
THREE 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.  
When calculating the power requirements for 3-phase  
power use the following equation:  
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.  
NOTICE  
If 3Ø load (kVA) is not given on the equipment  
nameplate, approximate 3Ø load may be determined  
by multiplying voltage by amperage by 1.732.  
NOTICE  
If wattage is not given on the equipment’s name plate,  
approximate wattage may be determined by multiplying  
nameplate voltage by the nameplate amperage.  
NOTICE  
Motors and motor-driven equipment draw much greater  
current for starting than during operation.  
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE  
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. SeeTable 6.  
The power factor of this generator is 0.8.SeeTable 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.

WARNING  
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it in  
accordance with the ISUZU Engine Owner’s Manual.  
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.  
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.  
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 10 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant  
capacities.Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank  
is always between the “H” and the “Lmarkings.

INSPECTION/SETUP  
When connecting battery do the following:  
BATTERY  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 type used in this  
generator is BCI Group 27.  
NOTICE  
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.  
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.  
CAUTION  
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor  
starting of the generator, and create other malfunctions.  
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,  
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.

MAINTENANCE  
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 TANK INSPECTION  
In addition to cleaning the fuel tank, the following  
components should be inspected for wear:  
Rubber Suspension — look for signs of wear or  
deformity due to contact with oil. Replace the rubber  
suspension if necessary.  
FUEL ADDITION  
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season  
and locations).  
Fuel Hoses — inspect nylon and rubber hoses for signs  
of wear, deterioration and hardening.  
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank  
FuelTank Lining — inspect the fuel tank lining for signs  
of excessive amounts of oil or other foreign matter.  
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.  
Replacing Fuel Filter  
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 500  
hours or so.  
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.  
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.  
Cleaning Inside the Fuel Tank  
Vent any air  
Drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely.Using a spray  
washer (Figure 59) wash out any deposits or debris that  
have accumulated inside the fuel tank.  
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 ISUZU  
Engine Manual for details.  
Figure 59. Fuel Tank Cleaning  
DCA250SSI/DCA250SSIU GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/12/11) — PAGE 39  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
MAINTENANCE  
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.  
RADIATOR CLEANING  
The radiator (Figure 60) should be sprayed (cleaned) with  
a high pressure washer when excessive amounts of dirt  
and debris have accumulated on the cooling fins or tube.  
When using a high pressure washer, stand at least 5 feet  
(1.5 meters) away from the radiator to prevent damage to  
the fins and tube.  
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 27.  
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.

GENERATOR STORAGE  
For long term storage of the generator the following is  
recommended:  
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.  
Drain the fuel tank completely.Treat with a fuel stabilizer  
if necessary.  
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for  
signs of leakage.  
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if  
necessary with fresh oil.  
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.  
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.  
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.  
Disconnect the battery.  
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine  
manufacturer.  
Close radiator cap tightly.  
Make sure engine coolant is at proper level.  
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.

MAINTENANCE  
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via  
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal  
battery charger.  
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 a  
power cord of adequate size.  
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial  
power has been supplied to them (Figure 61). To apply  
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of  
adequate size will be required (Reference Table 6).  
NOTICE  
To ensure adequate starting capability, always have  
power applied to the generator's internal battery  
charger.  
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.

TRAILER MAINTENANCE  
BRAKES  
Hydraulic Surge 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.  
Hydraulic surge brakes (Figure 62) 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 60 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 13 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.  
Figure 62. Hydraulic Brake Components  
4. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate  
the star wheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the  
brake shoes.  
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.  
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.  
Periodicallycheckandtestthesurgeactuatortomakesurethat  
it is functioning correctly. Never use an undersize actuator.  
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 on the remaining brakes.

TRAILER MAINTENANCE  
TIRES/WHEELS/LUG NUTS  
Suspension  
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.  
The leaf suspension springs and associated components  
(Figure 63) 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 15.  
CAUTION  
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when  
removing or installing force fitted parts.  
Failure to comply may result in serious  
injury.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a  
wheel. DO NOT install in inner tube to  
correct a leak through the rim. If the rim  
is cracked, the air pressure in the inner  
tube may cause pieces of the rim to explode (break off)  
with great force and cause serious eye or bodily injury.  
Figure 63. Major Suspension Components  
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.

TRAILER MAINTENANCE  
Lug Nut Torque Requirements  
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel  
mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the  
fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper  
procedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:  
1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.  
2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence (Reference Figure 64).  
DO NOT torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down.  
Tighten each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined  
by Table 16.  
3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.  
Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.
