DYNA SERIES

CONNECTING THE LOADS

Applying The Load - Allow the engine to warm up for two or

three minutes before applying any load.  This will allow the
engine to reach normal operating temperature and oil to
circulate throughout the engine.  A short warm-up time will
permit the engine to work more efficiently when the load is
applied and will reduce the wear in the engine, extending
its life.

Receptacles have been provided to allow loads to be

connected to the generator.  The loads should be added
one at a time.  If a large motor is being started or multiple
motors are being started, they should be started
individually and the largest should be started first.

CAUTION:  EQUIPMENT OVERLOAD

Keep the generator load within the generator and
receptacle nameplate rating.  Overloading may cause
damage to the generator and/or the loads .

Most electric tools and appliances will have the voltage and

amperage requirements on their individual nameplates.
When in doubt consult the manufacturer or a local
electrician.  The nameplate amperage rating for electric
motors can be misleading. See “Starting Electric Motors” in
Unit Capabilities (page 3).

These engine generator sets are inherently self regulating

based on engine speed.  The engine governor will
automatically adjust itself to the load.  No harm to the
generator will result if it is operated with no load connected.

Proper utilization of the receptacles located on the control

panel is necessary to prevent damage to either the
receptacles or the generator.  The generator is a limited
source of electrical power, therefore pay special attention to
the receptacle and generator ratings. The nameplate rating
can be obtained through a single receptacle as long as the
receptacle amperage rating is not exceeded.

Grounding - All units must be grounded.  Drive a 3/4 or  1"

copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the engine-
generator set.  The pipe must penetrate moist earth.
Connect an approved ground clamp, to the pipe.  Run a no.
10 Awg wire from clamp to the generator ground lug on the
“end cover”.  Do not connect to a water pipe or to a ground
used by a radio system.

The engine-generators covered in this manual were

designed for portable use. Do NOT install or operate this
generator indoors.  The unit should be stored in a warm dry
location. During a power outage, move the unit outdoors to
a flat dry location such as a driveway or sidewalk.

Many homes today are wired for at least 60 to 100 Amp

entrance service, much greater than the capacity of these
portable generators.  Do not attempt to power a home with
this portable generator. This generator set is suitable for
powering individual appliances or emergency lighting.

ENGINE CARE

If major engine service or repair is required contact an

authorized engine service center.  The manufacturer of
these engines has established an excellent world-wide
engine service organization.  Engine service is very likely

available from a nearby authorized dealer or distributor.
Check the yellow pages of your local telephone directory
under “Engines-Gasoline” for the closest engine repair
center or ask the dealer from whom you purchased the
power plant.

1.  Change the oil after the first five hours of operation and
every 50 hours thereafter under normal operating
conditions.  Change engine oil every 25 hours of operation
if the engine is operated under heavy load, or in high
ambient temperatures.

a.  Remove oil drain plug at base of the engine

and drain the oil with the engine warm.

b.  Replace oil drain plug.
c.  Remove oil filler plug and refill with new oil.

Refer to the table in the engine manual for the
proper grade of oil based on your operating

temperature.
d.  Replace filler plug.

2. Checking the Oil Level: The oil level must always be
checked before the engine is started.  Take care to
remove any dirt or debris from around the oil fill plug
before removing.  Be sure the oil level is maintained.  FILL
TO POINT OF OVERFLOWING or on units with the
extended oil fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.

3. Cartridge Air Cleaner - Remove and clean cartridge
yearly or after every 25 hours, whichever occurs first.
Service more often if necessary.  Clean by tapping gently
on flat surface.  If very dirty, replace the cartridge using only
original equipment parts available at any engine service
center.

Do not use petroleum solvents, such as kerosene, to
attempt to clean the cartridge.  They may cause
deterioration of the cartridge.  DO NOT OIL CARTRIDGE,
DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED AIR TO CLEAN OR DRY
CARTRIDGE.

4. Dual Element Air Cleaner - Clean and re-oil foam pre-
cleaner at three month intervals or every 25 hours,
whichever occurs first. Service more often under dusty
conditions.

a. Remove knob and cover.
b. Remove foam pre-cleaner by sliding it off

the paper cartridge.

c. Wash foam pre-cleaner in kerosene or
liquid detergent and water
d. Wrap foam pre-cleaner in cloth and
squeeze dry.
e. Saturate foam pre-cleaner in engine oil.
Squeeze to remove excess oil.
f.

Install foam pre-cleaner over paper
