3-wire 240 volt receptacle. A 4-wire receptacle (two
hot, one ground, and one neutral) has been provided
on the control panel for use in temporary power ap-
plications requiring 120/240 volt power. Consult a
licensed electrician for wiring the TemPower plug and
connecting it as temporary service.
To connect these units directly to an un-powered,
isolated construction site TemPower panel, have
your electrician connect to the control panel using a
120/240 volt, 4-wire twist-lock plug (L14-30P). The
use of locking receptacles and locking plugs provides
the convenience of quick disconnect, for moving,
while allowing non electrical workers to safely recon-
nect the power. In addition they prevent the plug
from being accidentally removed by bumping or
vibration.
2. If the generator set is be connected to existing
distribution system a fully isolated manual transfer
switch must be installed. The transfer switch pre-
vents damage to the generator and other circuit
components if main line power is restored while the
generator is connected. Installing a transfer switch
also permits the use of normal fusing.
3. Many homes and construction sites are wired
for at least 60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much
greater than the capacity of these portable genera-
tors. When installing the generator at these sites, a
secondary emergency distribution panel may have to
be installed, such as the Emergency Transfer/Service
(ET/S) system available through your WINCO dealer.
The emergency distribution panel must be installed
by a licensed electrician according to all applicable
codes. The electrician will move the critical circuits
to be powered during the outage to the emergency
panel. Keep in mind only a limited amount of amper-
age is available from the generator set. Some circuit
breakers may still have to be turned off to prevent an
overload on the generator during the initial start up.
See the nameplate on your generator for the amper-
age capabilities of your unit.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load ap-
plied to the generator will cause the generator to
produce low voltage and may damage the engine
generator set. It may also cause severe damage to
the loads connected to the generator at that time. Im-
proper loading of the generator set constitutes abuse
and will not be covered by warranty.
ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required contact
an authorized engine service center. The manufac-
turer of these engines has established an excellent
world-wide engine service organization. Engine ser-
vice is very likely available from a nearby authorized
dealer or distributor. Check the yellow pages of your
local telephone directory under “Engines-Gasoline”
for the closest engine repair center or ask the dealer
from whom you purchased the power plant.
1.
Change the oil
after the fi rst month or 20 hours
of operation and every 100 hours thereafter under
normal operating conditions. Change engine oil
every 25 hours of operation if the engine is operated
under heavy load, or in high ambient temperatures.
a. Remove oil drain plug at base of the engine and
drain the oil with the engine warm.
b. Replace oil drain plug.
c. Remove oil fi ller plug and refi ll with new oil.
Refer to the table in the engine manual for the
proper grade of oil based on your operating tem
perature.
d. Replace fi ller plug.
2.
Checking the Oil Level
: The oil level must al-
ways be checked before the engine is started. Take
care to remove any dirt or debris from around the
oil fi ll plug before removing. Be sure the oil level is
maintained. Fill to the “
FULL
” mark on the dipstick.
3.
Cartridge Air Cleaner
: Remove and clean
cartridge every 3 months or after every 50 hours,
whichever occurs fi rst. Service more often if neces-
sary. Clean by tapping gently on fl at surface. If very
dirty, replace the cartridge using only original equip-
ment parts available at any engine service center.
Do not use petroleum solvents, such as kerosene, to
attempt to clean the cartridge. They may cause
deterioration of the cartridge. DO NOT OIL CAR-
TRIDGE. DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED AIR TO
CLEAN OR DRY CARTRIDGE.
4.
Dual Element Air Cleaner
: Clean and re-oil
foam pre-cleaner at 3 month intervals or every 50
hours, whichever occurs fi rst. Service more often
under dusty conditions.
a. Loosen screws and remove cover and air cleaner
assembly from base.
b. Remove foam pre-cleaner by sliding it off the
paper
cartridge.
c. Wash foam pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and
water
d. Wrap foam pre-cleaner in cloth and squeeze dry.
e. Saturate foam pre-cleaner in engine oil. Squeeze
to remove excess oil.
f. Install foam pre-cleaner over paper cartridge.
