NORMAL OPERATION
Before operation of the system, always check the
fluid level in the reservoir. Keep the generator
system, cooling surfaces, and cooler fins clean. Keep
hydraulic oil stored in dust-tight containers. Change
the oil as frequently as necessary. The normal fluid
and filter change interval is 500 hours of operation or
one year of service, whichever comes first.
After installation and initial startup, follow the steps
below to operate the system:
TURNING SYSTEM ON
1.
Start the vehicle’s engine.
2.
Engage PTO.
3.
Turn on the generator.
4.
Set engine to operating rpm.
5.
Check voltage for proper output.
6.
Set all circuit breakers to the “ON” position.
7.
Apply load to the generator.
TURNING SYSTEM OFF
1.
Remove all loads from the generator.
2.
Set all circuit breakers to the “OFF” position.
3.
Turn off the generator.
4.
Return engine speed to idle.
5.
Disengage the PTO.
All operators of the vehicle should become familiar
with the procedure for starting and stopping the
generator system.
METER DISPLAY MODULE
The FRC generator display module is designed to
display AC generator data per NFPA 1901.
Integrated warnings can alert the operator if a critical
condition needs an appropriate action.

Excessive Current Warning
When the generator is operating outside the range of
its rated capacity, the AMP 1 and AMP 2 display will
start to flash. The audible buzzer must be connected
for the audible warning.
Voltage Out-of-Range Warning
If the output voltage is below 100/200 VAC or above
130/270 VAC, the voltage readout will begin to flash.
This will give the operator an indication that the
generator output falls outside the safe operating level.
There is no audible alarm for the voltage out of range
warning.
Hot Oil Temperature Warning
This warning will be activated if the oil temperature
rises above 170°F, ± 5°F. The frequency readout will
flash OIL to warn the operator and the audio alarm
will also be activated.
