Unit ID and VIN Tag Locations
See
Figure 2-2
The unit ID tag is located on the control
panel face. The vehicle identification number (VIN) tag
(B) is located on the drivers side of the trailer tongue.
Important information such as the unit model number,
serial number, VIN, and tire loading information are listed
on the tags. Record the information from the tags in the
event the tags are lost or damaged. This information may
be required when ordering parts or requesting
assistance.

Altitude and Temperature Limitations
All units are subject to derating for altitude and
temperature. Derating reduces the power available for
operating tools and accessories connected to the outlets.
•
Altitude: This unit can provide full prime power up
to 1,640 ft (500 m) above sea level. Above that,
power output to outlets is reduced by 2% for every
additional 820 ft (250 m) of elevation.
•
Temperature: This unit can provide full prime
power up to 110 °F (43 °C) ambient air
temperature. Above that, operating the unit at full
power causes the coolant to overheat, resulting in
engine shutdown. Maximum coolant temperature is
225 °F (107 °C).
Wet Stacking
This unit is powered by a diesel engine. Wet stacking is a
condition in diesel engines in which not all fuel is burned.
Unburned diesel fuel passes into the exhaust system,
where it accumulates. Wet stacking is often caused by
operating the engine below about 30% of its rated
capacity. Damaging effects fuel injector fouling, oily
buildup on engine valves, and deposits on aftertreatment
components. Always operate the engine between 30%
and 100% of its rated capacity. Appropriate generator
sizing is determined by the anticipated load.
Load Management System
This engine is equipped with a standard exhaust
temperature management (ETM) load management
system.
When a low-load condition exists, ETM activates a
regeneration cycle, introducing heat into the exhaust
system. This process helps to maintain proper operating
temperatures in the exhaust, and helps to clean catalysts
of deposits due to low loading.
