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.

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  
This generator (Figure 3) is 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.  
This 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.  
ENGINE OPERATING PANEL  
The “Engine Operating Panel” is provided with the following:  
Tachometer  
Water Temperature Gauge  
Oil Pressure Gauge  
Charging Ammeter Gauge  
Fuel Level Gauge  
Panel Light/Panel Light Switch  
ECU Controller  
Engine Speed Switch  
Emergency Stop Lamp  
Warning Lamp  
Pre-Heat Lamp  
Fuel Leak Detected Alarm Lamp  
Diagnostic Gauge  
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.  
GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL  
The “Generator Control Panel” is provided with the following:  
Frequency Meter (Hz)  
ENGINE  
AC Ammeter (Amps)  
This generator unit incorporates an John Deere 6068HF285  
diesel engine. This engine is designed to meet every  
performance requirement for the generator. Reference  
Table 2 for engine specifications.  
AC Voltmeter (Volts)  
Ammeter Change-Over Switch  
Voltmeter Change-Over Switch  
Voltage Regulator  
3-Pole, 250 amp Main Circuit Breaker  
“Control Box” (located behind the Gen. Control Panel)  
• Automatic Voltage Regulator  
• Current Transformer  
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  
• Over-Current Relay  
• Starter Relay  
• Voltage Selector Switch  
The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the engine.  
When the engine demand increases or decreases, the  
governor system regulates the frequency variation to .25%.  
EXTENSION CABLES  
OUTPUT TERMINAL PANEL  
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.  
The “Output Terminal Panel” is provided with the following:  
Three 120/240V output receptacles (CS-6369), 50A  
Three auxiliary circuit breakers, 50A  
Two 120V output receptacles (GFCI), 20A  
Two GFCI circuit breakers, 20A  
Five output terminal lugs (3Ø power)

DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY  
2. Left Arrow Button – Press this button to scroll through  
the screen either moving the parameter selection  
toward the left or upward.  
3. Right Arrow Button – Press this button to scroll  
through the screen either moving the parameter  
selection toward the right or downward.  
4. Enter Key Button – Press this button to select the  
parameter that is highlighted on the screen.  
5. Emergency Stop LED – When lit (RED) indicates a  
major fault has occured. This condition will shudown  
the generator.  
6. Warning LED – When lit (AMBER), indicates a engine  
parameter has exceeded its limits (minor fault). The  
generator will still run in this condition.  
Figure 4. Diagnostic Display  
The diagnostic display panel located inside the control box  
on the generator (Figure 4) is designed to meet the needs  
for instrumentation and control of electronically controlled  
engine communication using the SAEJ1939 Controller Area  
Network (CAN). This diagnostic display is a multifunction  
tool that enables equipment operators to view many  
different engine parameters and service codes.  
7. Display Screen – Graphical backlight LCD screen.  
Back lighting is controlled via menu or external  
dimmer potentiometer. The display can show either a  
single parameter or a quadrant display showing four  
parameters simultaneously.  
8. Diagnostic Switch – When placed in the ON position,  
will activate the diagnostic display panel.  
The keypad on the diagnostic display panel is a capacitive  
touch sensing system. There are no mechanical switches  
to wear or stick. This keypad (display unit) will operate in  
extreme hot or cold weather conditions.  
9. CAN Diagnostic Connector – Controller Area  
Network connector.This connector outputs diagnostic  
error codes. Connect a scanner or similar device into  
this connector to read error codes.  
Other components in the system are microprocessor-based  
components for displaying critical engine data broadcast  
by an electronic engine or transmission’s Engine Control  
Unit (ECU):engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature,  
system voltage, etc., and a combination audible alarm and  
relay unit for warning and shutdown annunciation.  
Display Parameters  
The following are some of the engine and transmission  
parameters displayed on the diagnostic disply panel.  
Engine RPM’s  
Engine Hours  
System Voltage  
% Engine Load at current RPM  
Coolant Temperature  
Oil Pressure  
Fuel Economy  
Current Fuel Consumption  
Throttle Position  
Engine Manifold Air Temperature  
Active Service Codes  
The Engine Control Unit (ECU) used with this generator  
diagnosis engine faults that arise with the the engine  
control system and the engine itself. Engine faults can  
be determined by viewing the Diagnostic Trouble Codes  
(Active Fault Codes) which are displayed on the Diagnostic  
Display Panel. See the John Deere Engine Operator’s  
Manual for a complete listing of active fault codes and  
countermeasures.  
The following definitions describe the controls and functions  
of the Diagnostic Display Panel (Figure 4).

Starter Relay  
Current Transformer  
Voltage Selector Switch  
Main Circuit Breaker  
4. Voltmeter Change-Over Switch This switch allows  
the AC voltmeter to indicate phase to phase voltage  
between any two phases of the output terminals or to  
be switched off.  
NOTICE  
Remember the overcurrent relay monitors the current  
flowing from the U,V, and W Output Terminal Lugs  
to the load.  
5. Frequency Meter — Indicates the output frequency  
in hertz (Hz). Normally 60 Hz.  
In the event of a short circuit or over current condition,  
it will automatically trip the 250 amp main breaker.  
6. AC Ammeter — Indicates the amount of current the  
load is drawing from the generator per leg selected by  
the ammeter phase-selector switch.  
To restore power to the OutputTerminal Panel, press  
the reset button on the overcurrent relay and place the  
main circuit breaker in the closed position (ON).  
7. ACVoltmeter — Indicates the output voltage present  
at the U,V, and W Output Terminal Lugs.

Figure 6. Engine Operating Panel  
The definitions below describe the controls and functions  
of the Engine Operating Panel (Figure 6).  
5. 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.  
1. Oil Pressure Gauge – During normal operation this  
gauge be should read between 35 to 65 psi. (241~448  
kPa). When starting the generator the oil pressure may  
read a little higher, but after the engine warms up the  
oilpressure should return to the correct pressure range.  
6. Panel Light – Normally used in dark areas or at night  
time.When activated, panel lights will illuminate.When  
the generator is not in use be sure to turn the panel  
light switch to the OFF position.  
2. Water Temperature Gauge – During normal operation  
this gauge be should read between 180° and 221°F. (82°  
C and 110° C  
7. Panel Light Switch – When activated will turn on  
control panel light.  
3. Charging Ammeter Gauge – Indicates the current  
being supplied by the engine’s alternator which  
provides current for generator’s control circuits and  
battery charging system.  
8. Engine Speed Switch – This switch controls the speed  
of the engine (low/high).  
9. Diagnostic Display – This display monitors crtical engine  
functions. If any abnormal conditions occur, an Active  
Fault Code will be displayed.This diagnostic display can  
be located inside the control box  
4. Fuel Gauge - Indicates amount of diesel fuel available.

ENGINE OPERATING PANEL  
10. Warning Lamp – This lamp will illuminate when a  
critical engine fault has occured.  
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.  
11. Pre-Heat Lamp – As the engine cranks, this lamp  
will illuminate to indicate automatic preheating of the  
engine.When the lamp turns off, the engine has been  
preheated and will start automatically.  
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.  
12. Emergency Stop Lamp – This lamp will illuminate  
when the emergency stop button has been pressed  
or a critical engine fault has occured.  
13. Fuel Leak Detected Alarm Lamp – This lamp will  
illuminate when a leak in the fuel tank containment  
enclosure is detected.  
14. . Auto START/STOP Engine Controller (ECU) 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 cranking  
cycle, the ECU will attempt to  
crank the engine for 10 seconds  
before disengaging.  
B. Low Oil Pressure — Indicates the engine pressure  
has fallen below 15 psi (103 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 239°F (110°C).The engine  
temperature is detected using variable resistive values  
from the temperature sending unit. This is considered  
a major fault.  
D. Overcrank Shutdown — Indicates the unit has  
attempted to start a pre- programmed number of  
times, and has failed to start. The number of cycles  
and duration are programmable. It is pre-set at 3  
cycles with a 10 second duration. This is considered  
a major fault.  
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.  
E. Overspeed Shutdown — Indicates the engine is  
running at an unsafe speed. This is considered a  
major fault.  
Also the engine controller will shut down the engine in  
the event of low oil pressure, high coolant temperature,

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. See  
Table 6.  
The power factor of this generator is 0.8.SeeTable 5 below  
when connecting loads.  
Table 5. Power Factor By Load

AC Ammeter Gauge Reading  
Place the AC Ammeter Change-Over Switch (Figure 18)  
in the U position and observe the current reading (load  
drain) on the U terminal as indicated on the AC Ammeter  
Gauge (Figure 19). This process can be repeated for  
terminals V and W.  
The AC ammeter and AC voltmeter gauges are controlled  
by the AC ammeter and AC voltmeter change-over  
switches.  
Both of these switches are located on the control panel and  
DO NOT effect the generator output. They are provided to  
help observe how much power is being supplied, produced  
at the UVWO terminals lugs.  
Before taking a reading from either gauge, set the Voltage  
Selector Switch (Figure 15) to the position which produces  
the required voltage (For example, for 3Ø 240V, choose  
the center 3Ø 240/139V position on the voltage selector  
switch).

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.  
John Deere recommends John Deere 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 John Deere Engine Owner’s Manual  
for further details.  
AIR CLEANER  
WARNING  
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it  
in accordance with the John Deere 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 John  
Deere 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 12 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.  
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  
Before charging the battery with an external electric source,  
be sure to disconnect the battery cables.  
Inadequate battery connections may cause poor  
starting of the generator, and create other malfunctions.  
Battery Cable Installation  
ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 36) are properly  
connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The  
red cable is connected to the positive terminal of the  
battery, and the black cable is connected to the negative  
terminal of the battery.  
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.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT put water directly on the alternator. Entry of water  
into the alternator can cause corrosion and damage the  
alternator.  
ALWAYS disconnect the negative terminal FIRST and  
reconnect negative terminal LAST.  
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.

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 14 as a general  
maintenance guideline Engine Side (Refer to the Engine  
Instruction Manual)

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  
If necessary, drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely.  
Using a spray washer (Figure 60) 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 JOHN  
DEERE 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.

MAINTENANCE  
CHECK OIL LEVEL  
RADIATOR CLEANING  
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 29.  
The radiator (Figure 61) 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.  
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.  
FLUSHING OUT RADIATOR AND REPLACING  
COOLANT  
Figure 61. Radiator Cleaning  
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.  
GENERATOR STORAGE  
For long term storage of the generator the following is  
recommended:  
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for  
signs of leakage.  
Drain the fuel tank completely.Treat with a fuel stabilizer  
if necessary.  
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.  
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if  
necessary with fresh oil.  
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine  
manufacturer.  
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.  
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.  
Disconnect the battery.  
Close radiator cap tightly.  
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.  
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.  
WARNING  
Allow engine to cool when flushing out  
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot  
could cause serious burns from water or  
steam.

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 62 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.  
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.  
Periodically check and test the surge “actuator” to make sure  
that 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 17.  
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.
