general information

Fuel Tank

This generator can be equipped with a 150 gallon (567 liters) fuel tank located beneath the trailer deck. The tank is made of steel (baffled). The tank can be filled from an external fill port located on the side of the trailer. The fill port has a 2-inch (51 mm) fill neck with vented cap.

When refueling, it is recommended to use ASTM-D975/No. 2 diesel fuel. A drain port is provided on the end of the tank.

Fuel Priming Pump

The generator set is equipped with an electric (24 VDC) fuel priming pump to assist in priming the system for maintenance purposes.The priming pump, bypass valves, and priming switch are located on the side of the diesel engine in the engine compartment.

Fuel Water Separator

A 30-micron Racor 900 fuel water separator is part of the fuel system assembly and is located on the side of the engine in within the enclosure compartment.

The supply line between the engine fuel pump and tank passes through an in-line fuel/water separator filter. The filter element is rated to filter elements down to 10 microns.

Intake Ventilation Door

The intake air ventilation door is located on the roof of the generator set enclosure near the control panel.The door is hydraulically actuated. Upon startup of the diesel engine, pressure fills the cylinder and opens the door. Intake air passes through the opening, and across the engine’s radiator to cool the engine.

During rainy conditions the roof ventilation door will close when the front ventilation door is opened.

Interior Lighting

The interior lighting system is distributed throughout the interior. There are three separate lighting fixtures. Two lights are in the engine compartment, and one light is in the generator compartment.The lighting system operates from the 24 VDC battery system.

The light fixtures are sealed incandescent bulbs which are activated by a 0-15 minute timer switch located on the side control panel box. The DC lighting system can be used to perform off-line maintenance or assist in setup prior to AC power connection.

Trailer (Optional)

If equipped, the generator set can be mounted on a tandem axle trailer. Standard trailer is available with 8-lug chrome wheels and electric or hydraulic brakes. Options may include electric jack stands, adjustable hitch, ground rod holder and rear stabilizing jacks.
