INSTALLATION
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY:
PERSONAL INJURY - Before proceeding with the installation, be sure
the DSE7310 MKII is in the “stop” position. Before proceeding with the
installation, be sure the Generator MLCB (Main Line Circuit Breaker) is
in the ‘OFF’ position and the unit starting battery is disconnected.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This engine-generator set is supplied as weather enclosed, trailered
packages. The DOT certified trailer is required for mobile applications.
Consult a qualified, licensed electrician or contractor to install and wire
the gen-set. The installation must comply with all national, state, and
local codes. The factory weather enclosures are acoustical housing
intended for outdoor use only. Units are not intended to be used
indoors and no support is available to assist in re-engineering finished
packaged units.
Before beginning the installation process, recheck the voltage, phase,
and amperage rating of the generator set. Be certain it can handle the
intended load and are compatible with the intended loads. Plans for
installation should be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and
electrical engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system installation.
The information in this manual is offered only as a guide to finalizing
your installation plans.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
During periods of normal operations, the engine uses #2 diesel fuel.
Seasonally blended fuel should be used during time of extreme cold to
ensure proper engine operation. See the engine operator’s manual for
more specific information on requirements.
NOTE: When starting the unit for the time it may be necessary to prime
the engine before engine before engaging the starter. The internal tank
on the unit was not used during testing so there may be some air in the
fuel lines that will have to be bled out.
LUBRICATION
Before starting the engine, check the oil level in the crankcase. If
it is low, refill to the full mark with the proper weight/grade of oil as
recommended by the engine manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
The necessity of using the correct oil, and keeping the crankcase full,
cannot be over emphasized. Failure to use the proper oil and keep the
crankcase properly filled will cause excessive engine wear and shorten
its useful life.
