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, altitude, fuel, and other condi-
tions specifi ed by the manufacturer of the applicable
engines.
INTENDED USES
This engine generator set has been designed pri-
marily for portable heavy duty commercial use. Both
120 volt and 240 volt receptacles are provided in the
control panel to plug in your loads (lights, portable
tools, and small appliances).
This portable unit requires large quantities of fresh
air for cooling the engine and generator. For safety,
long life and adequate performance, these units
should never be run in small compartments without
positive fresh air fl ow.
RESTRICTED USES
DO NOT
remove from the cradle assembly. Re-
moval of the generator from the cradle assembly
may cause excessive vibration and damage to the
engine-generator set.
DO NOT
install and operate this generator in a small
compartment., i.e. generator compartments of ve-
hicles, motor homes or travel trailers. These com-
partments will not allow enough free fl ow of fresh
air to reach the engine generator set for cooling and
will cause the unit to overheat, damaging both the
engine and generator. Small compartments will also
develop hot spots where there is very little air fl ow
and may cause a fi re.
PLEASE NOTE
There are 3rd party companies
making enclosures for generators that have been
properly engineered. The use of these 3rd party
enclosures is acceptable as long as they have been
certifi ed and meet current code.
DO NOT
attempt to operate at 50 cycles. These
units are designed and governed to operate at 60
cycles only.
UNIT CAPABILITIES
GENERATOR CONNECTIONS
DL6000H - 120 volt and 240 volt receptacles are
provided for connection to various loads. The dia-
gram below represents this 5500 watt (rated output)
generator. A & B represent the 120 volt output legs
of this generator. Up to 2250 watts at 120 volts
(22.9 Amps) can be drawn from each of the recepta-
cles attached to either of the A or B output legs. This
generator is capable of producing 22.9 Amps of 240
volt current at C. Check the appliance or tool name-
plates for the current and voltage to insure compat-
ibility. Remember that power taken from C reduces
the power available at both A and B and vice versa.
Reference A & B = 120 Volt Receptacle
NEMA 5-20 (120V-20A)
Reference C = 120/240 Volt Twistlock Receptacle
NEMA L14-30 (120/240V-30A)
DL5000H - the same principles apply to this unit as
the one described above, only you are limited to
4500 watts or 18.75 amps at each 120 volt recep-
tacle and 18.75 amps at 240 volt.
STARTING ELECTRIC MOTORS
Electric motors require much more current (amps) to
start them than to run them. Some motors, par-
ticularly low cost split-phase motors, are very hard
to start and require 5 to 7 times as much starting
current as running current. Capacitor motors are
easier to start and usually require 2 to 4 times as
much starting current as running current. Repulsion
Induction motors are the easiest to start and require
only 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 times as much starting as running
current.
