INTRODUCTION
TESTING POLICY
Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully
checked for performance. The generator is loaded to its
full capacity, and the voltage, current, and frequency are
carefully checked.
Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests
of typical units, and is subject to, and limited by, the
temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified
by the manufacturer of applicable engines.
This unit comes factory set for either key start or manual
start. With the DSE 7310 MKII controller used in the manual
start option it is possible to wire the control for remote start.
Wiring instructions can be found further in this manual. The
key start version does not have this option.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The engine-generator set consists of a multi-cylinder, liquid-
cooled engine nominally operating at 1800 RPM. This
generator set meets current EPA regulations for standby
or prime power use. The generator frequency regulation is
maintained by the engine mechanical governor to within
+/- 2 Hertz. The generator is connected to the engine
flywheel via flexible drive disks. The generator set is skid
mounted with isolation mounts between the engine and
base.
NOTICE:
A Customer supplied 12 Volt battery is required to complete
the installation. Battery requirements are listed later under
the battery installation section.
The generator ships with an advanced DSE7310 digital
controller. The DSE7310 will electronically display useful
engine and generator performance information. The
controller starts and stops the generator and monitors
critical operating parameters and will shut the generator
down to protect the engine from damage.
GENERATOR SET:
Every WINCO generator set has its own unique identity
data plate. This data plate identifies the complete unit
model number, the system serial number, and has links to
the individual components that form the generator set in
our factory records. Several of the major components also
have their own individual data plates providing additional
information to document build data for warranty and
replacements parts. Be sure to have the main WINCO unit
data plate information recorded inside the front cover
of this manual for future reference and for identification
whenever requesting field or factory assistance.
Primary fields needed for assistance are complete model
number and serial number.
ENGINE:
This manual covers specific operation of the combined
engine generator set. The basic engine information
provided in this manual is not suitable for all operating
conditions. Refer to the engine operators manual for more
detailed operation and maintenance information.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Be sure to check the engine oil level frequently as specified
in the engine manual.
The engine manufacturer has established an excellent
worldwide engine service organization; engine service is
available from a nearby authorized dealer or distributor.
The rated power of each engine-generator is limited by
the temperature, altitude, and all other ambient conditions
specified by the engine manufacturer.

Units should not be operated in ambient temperature
greater than 120° Fahrenheit.
GENERATOR:
The nameplate includes a standby and prime/continuous
rating. The standby rating is the maximum amount of
power the generator set can produce. For prime power
applications the load should be equal to or less than the
prime power rating and the load is assumed to be variable.
It is acceptable to occasionally reach the standby rating
during prime operation to start motors or other temporary
surges.
WINCO generator sets use a brushless, AVR (Auto-Voltage
Regulator) controlled broad-range generator ends. The
generator converts rotational mechanical energy into
electrical energy. These WINCO units are equipped
with generators manufactured by Cummins Generator
Technologies. Each generator ‘end’ has its own data tag. A
unique serial number is on the data plate and the data label
is affixed to the main frame on the generator on the left
side.
