6) Canopy
A composite enclosure, identified as a canopy, provides protection for the engine, generator and
electrical controls. The canopy is also designed to reduce the operational noise level in the
immediate area of the machine. The canopy is equipped with a bolted latch on the back left corner,
which will require the use of a wrench to remove the canopy. Once the bolt is loosened the canopy
can be slid to the rear and removed by two people for easy access to all engine and generator
components.
We recommend using Simple Green® Industrial Cleaner & Degreaser or an equivalent to clean the
canopy and cable trays.
7) Engine and Generator
The engine and generator comprise the principal components of the generator set. They are mounted
on a galvanized, welded steel frame chassis. The following figures show the locations of all major
components and sub-assemblies.
a) Diesel Engine
The diesel engine is a fuel injection, 4-cylinder, electronically controlled engine rated at 110
horsepower.
b) Engine Manufacturer’s Components
As received from the engine manufacturer, the engine includes some of the following
components, which are more fully described in the engine manufacturer’s manual.
1) Electrical System
The 12 VDC electrical generating and starting system includes an alternator and starter with
solenoid switch.
2) Fuel/Water Filter
The fuel/Water filter is a spin-on disposable type located on the inside of the canopy, near the
engine’s fuel pump. Water that has been removed from the fuel should be removed daily.
(See Chapter 2-1)
CAUTION
The use of low lubricity fuels can shorten life and/or damage the engine’s fuel pump.
Only diesel fuel is recommended by the engine manufacturer. Refer to engine
manufacturer’s manual for approved fuels.
3) Oil Filter
The engine oil filter is a spin-on, full-flow type, located on the left side of the engine near the
front.
4) Pre-programmed Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The ECM is a pre-programmed engine control module, mounted directly to the engine block.
