PREPARING THE UNIT
UNPACKING
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When you unpack your new generator, be sure to remove all of the
information sheets and manual from the carton.
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.
E. For dimensions needed for install for your specific generator, please
refer to it’s outline drawing. The hardware needed is dependent on your
distinct application.
F. The generator mounting bracket must rest evenly and firmly on the
foundation. Install shims if necessary to even out the foundation under
the mounting pads then bolt the generator firmly in place.
TRAILER MOUNTING
Optional Trailer Part Number TDM76
Mount the generator on a trailer if you plan to use it as a portable
power source. When selecting or building a trailer to mount the
generator, consider the following points:
A. The trailer construction must be strong enough to support the
generator.
B. The design of the trailer must enable the trailer to remain stable
during operation, and to resist tipping caused by generator starting and
reflected load torque.
C. The trailer height and mounting position of the generator on the
trailer should enable aligning the drive shaft (tumbling bar) in a straight
or nearly straight line between the power take-off and generator input
shafts. Misalignment must be less than 5 degrees during generator
operation, even though the mechanical design of the tumbling bar
would allow greater misalignment.
D. The generator mounting area of the trailer bed should be flat.
All four generator mounting pads must rest firmly on the trailer bed.
Install shims if necessary to even out the bed under the mounting pads,
then bolt the generator firmly in place.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Trailer may tip over and cause injuries if wheels are not spaced far
enough apart.
THREE-POINT HITCH KIT
Optional 3-Point Hitch Part Number TPH241
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When using the 3-point hitch assembly all three points must be
attached to the tractor. Failure to do so will cause the generator to tip
when lifting it damaging both the t-bar and the generator.

B. The foundation must be solid enough to absorb generator
starting and reflected load torque during operation.
C. The foundation surface should be flat.
D. Space is required around the generator for mounting
switching devices, making connections, and for servicing.
E. The generator mounting bracket must rest evenly and
firmly on the foundation. Install shims if necessary to even
out the foundation under the mounting pads then bolt the
generator firmly in place.
TRAILER MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a trailer if you plan to use it as a
portable power source. When selecting or building a trailer to
mount the generator, consider the following points:
A. The trailer construction must be strong enough to support
the generator.
B. The design of the trailer must enable the trailer to remain
stable during operation, and to resist tipping caused by
generator starting and reflected load torque.
WARNING: Personal Injury & Equipment Damage
TRAILER MAY TIP OVER AND CAUSE INJURIES IF
WHEELS ARE NOT SPACED FAR ENOUGH APART.
Optional Trailer Part Number TDM75
C. The trailer height and mounting position of the generator on
the trailer should enable aligning the drive shaft (tumbling bar)
in a straight or nearly straight line between the power take-off
and generator input shafts. Misalignment must be less than 10
degrees during generator operation, even though the mechani-
cal design of the tumbling bar would allow greater misalign-
ment.
D. The generator mounting area of the trailer bed should be
flat.
All four generator mounting pads must rest firmly on the trailer
bed. Install shims if necessary to even out the bed under the
mounting pads, then bolt the generator firmly in place.
WINCO THREE POINT HITCH
Optional 3-Point Hitch Part Number TPH240
WARNING: Personal Injury & Equipment Damage
WHEN USING THE 3-POINT HITCH ASSEMBLY ALL THREE
POINTS MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE TRACTOR. FAIL-
URE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE THE GENERATOR TO TIP
WHEN LIFTING IT DAMAGING BOTH THE T-BAR AND THE
GENERATOR.
A. The three point hitch must be attached to the tractor at all
times during operation.
B. When operating the generator the three point hitch and
generator must be sitting on flat level ground. All four deck
pads must be in constant contact with the ground at all
times. This will reduce the vibration in both the generator
and the tumbling bar.
C. For safety the generator must be bolted to the three point
hitch deck using all four mounting bolts
INSTALLATION
FOUNDATION MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a foundation if it is to be used as a permanent
or standby power source. When planning a foundation consider the
following points:
A. The foundation location should enable aligning the drive shaft
(tumbling bar) in a straight or nearly straight line between the power
take-off and the generator input shaft. Misalignment must be less than
5 degrees during generator operation, even though the mechanical
design of the tumbling bar would allow greater misalignment.
B. The foundation must be solid enough to absorb generator starting
and reflected load torque during operation.
C. The foundation surface should be flat.
D. Space is required around the generator for mounting switching
devices, making connections, and for servicing.
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 and altitude.
