PREPARING THE UNIT
UNPACKING
1. As you receive your unit, it is critical to check it for any damage. If
any damage is noted, it is always easiest to refuse the shipment and
let WINCO take care of the freight claim. If you sign for the unit, the
transfer of the ownership requires that you file the freight claim
2. Before proceeding with the preparations of your new generator
for operation, take a couple of minutes to ensure the unit you have
received is the correct model and review the specification pages in this
manual to ensure that this unit meets your job requirements.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
This unit is shipped with oil and a 50/50 mix of coolant. Be sure to
check all fluid levels before operating. See engine manufacturer’s
instruction manual for recommended oil requirements before initial
starting.
Once generator set is on-site:
1. Carefully remove the crate.
2. After inspecting the engine-generator for external, physical damage,
locate and check the following items packed with the unit:
a. Installation and Operator’s Manual.
b. Engine manufacturer’s instruction manual.
c. Battery hold-down brackets & hardware.
d. Unit components or accessory items shipped loose for on-site
installation.
e. Optional accessories.
3. Remove main frame hold-down bolts.
4. Unit can now be lifted from shipping rails.
LIFTING THE GENERATOR SET
NOTICE: PERSONAL INJURY:
To prevent injury to persons or equipment, observe the following
guidelines when lifting the generator:
Due to the different designs, configurations, options, weights, site
conditions, and available material handling equipment, specific lifting
instructions are not provided for each individual generator set model.
General guidelines provided are applicable to the entire generator
line. It is the responsibility of the installing party to follow the lifting
equipment’s operator’s manual to prevent injury to personnel and
damage to the generator. Smaller generator sets may not require use
of overhead lifting equipment and may be placed on the pad with basic
material handling equipment, i.e. a forklift.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift the generator set by the means of the lifting eyes
on the engine or generator end. These lifting points are only for the use
during the manufacturing process and are designed for lifting of the
individual generator set components.
WARNING:
NEVER attempt to lift the fuel tank filled with fuel. Sloshing of the
10 degrees Fahrenheit above 60° Fahrenheit. Units should not be
operated in ambient temperature greater than 125° Fahrenheit.
GENERATOR
WINCO generator sets use 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
Technology. Each generator ‘end’ has its own data tag. A unique serial
number is on the data plate.
MODEL NUMBER STRUCTURE
The WINPOWER alpha-numerical numbering consists of a base model
designation, followed by an options section, separated by a dash mark.
The base component of the model numbering system identifies an
engine type, engine starting method, fuel type, kilowatt rating, engine
manufacturer, and number of generator poles. Following the separation
dash mark is the voltage connection and optional installed equipment.
Options include features like, weather enclosures (housing), base
mounted fuel tank sizes, and trailer options.
Please note that some features or packages, such as NFPA level I
& II, do not have an indication place in this numbering system. They
are issued and built with an M-Spec (i.e. M-10372) number which can
be found on the WINPOWER data tag. When the M-Spec is present,
supplemental inserts will accompany this standard manual providing
information about the special equipment and features installed. The
standard model numbering key that can be used along with the data
tag information and/or M-Spec supplements to determine the generator
set’s ratings and specifications.
