The engine manufacturer has established an excellent
world-wide engine service organization; engine service is
available from a nearby authorized dealer or distributor;
check the yellow pages of the telephone directory under
“engines,” or ask the dealer from whom you purchased the
power plant.
The rated power of each engine-generator is limited by
the temperature, altitude and all other ambient conditions
specified by the engine manufacturer. Engine power will
decrease 3-1/2% for each 1000 ft. above sea level, and
will decrease an additional 1% for each 10 degrees Fahr-
enheit above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
** NOTICE **
When unpacking the generator set, be sure to inspect it
carefully for freight loss or damage. If loss or damage is
noted at the time of delivery, require that the person mak-
ing the delivery make note of the loss or damage on the
freight bill, or affix his signature under the consigner’s
memo of the loss or damage. Contact the carrier for claim
procedures.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery, segregate
the damaged material, and contact the carrier for claim
procedures.
“Concealed Damage” is understood to mean damage to
the contents of a package which is not in evidence at the
time of delivery by the carrier, but which is discovered
later. The carrier or carriers are responsible for merchan-
dise lost or damaged in transit. The title to goods rests
with the consignee when generators are shipped FOB fac-
tory, and only the consignee can legally file a claim.
**** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - The PSS50000 and the
PSS65000 are shipped with oil, and a 50/50 mix of cool-
ant. Be sure to check all fluid levels before operating. See
engine manufacturer’s instruction manual for recom-
mended oil requirements before initial starting.
UNPACKING:
1. Carefully remove the carton.
2. After inspecting the engine-generator for external
physical damage, check for the following items packed
inside the carton.
a. Owner’s manual, wiring diagram, and parts list.
b. Engine manufacturer’s instruction manual.
3. Remove main frame hold down bolts (4).
4. Unit can now be lifted from shipping rails.
water temperature shutdown has a 60 to 90 second lock-
out, allowing the engine time to clear the hot water out of
the block in case of a hot restart. In addition if the genera-
tor should lose output during a run cycle the engine will
continue to run for about 60 seconds and then shutdown
and display an overcrank light. The starter will not reen-
gage during this time or until the generator selector switch
has been cycled off and back on. This is the only way to
clear a fault light.
** NOTICE **
These units will automatically transfer if a power outage
occurs while running in an exercise mode.
