DCA-500SSK — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)

WARNING:

The engine's exhaust contains harmful emissions. ALWAYS ventilate the exhaust when operating inside tunnels, excavations or buildings. Direct exhaust away from nearby personnel.

Before Starting

Engine

1.Check the lubricating oil level prior to starting the engine. Make sure the generator is level. The oil level must be maintained between two notches on the dipstick.

2.When there is not enough lubricating oil, fill the crankcase with high grade motor oil. Use a high quality detergent oil classified CC or higher (See Table 9 on page 41).

3.Check the coolant level in the radiator and subtank. Replenish with antifreeze as necessary. Always maintain the coolant level between the FULL and LOW markings on the coolant container. Be sure the radiator cap is fastened securely.

4.Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge. If fuel is low, fill the fuel tank with clean fresh diesel fuel. If diesel spillage occurs, completely wipe up the spilled fuel immediately.

Before Starting

Generator and Control Panel

CAUTION:

NEVER start the engine with the main, GFCI or load circuit breakers in the ON position.

1.Be sure to disconnect the electrical load and switch the MAIN LOAD and G.F.C.I. circuit breakers (Figure 31) to the “OFF” position prior to starting the engine.

2.Connect the load to the UVW terminals as shown in Figure 32.These terminals can be found on the output terminal panel, see page 37, Figure 14. To gain access to the output terminals lift the UVW cover. Tighten the terminal nuts securely to prevent load wires from slipping out.

3.Connect the negative battery cable (BLACK) to the negative post on the battery (Figure 33).
