Section 2 — Installation

40kW Liquid-cooled Generators

3.Remove the brass hose fitting from the outlet port (Port 1) of the demand regulator.

4.Remove pipe plug from Port 2.

5.Install brass hose fitting into Port 2.

6.Install pipe plug into Port 1.

7.Connect carburetor gas hose to brass fitting.

8.Tighten all clamps and plugs.

9.Make sure fuel supply is of the proper pressure and type for configuration.

10.Reverse the procedure to convert back to natural gas.

NOTE:

Port 1 is for NG only and Port 2 is for LP vapor only. No provision for dual fuel has been made.

DANGER

Serious injury or damage may occur if not con- figured properly. Please consult an Authorized Service Dealer with any questions.

1.15 COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Use a mixture of half low silicate ethylene glycol base anti-freeze and half de-ionized water. Cooling system capacity is about 20 U.S. quarts (19.3 liters). Use only de-ionized water and only low silicate anti-freeze. If desired, add a high quality rust inhibitor to the rec- ommended coolant mixture. When adding coolant, always add the recommended 50-50 mixture.

Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with ethylene glycol base anti-freeze or chro- miumhydroxide (“green slime”) forms and will cause overheating. Engines that have been oper- ated with a chromate base rust inhibitor must be chemically cleaned before adding ethylene glycol base anti-freeze. Using any high silicate anti-freeze boosters or additives will also cause overheating. It is also recommend that any solu- ble oil inhibitor is NOT USED for this equipment.

1.13 TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

Tighten the bolts from the middle out, in a criss- cross pattern.

Cylinder Head	50 ft.lb./105 ft.lb./105 ft.lb.
Intake Manifold	48 in.lb./84 in.lb./84 in.lb.
Exhaust Manifold	25 ft.lb.

1.14 ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

The unit has been filled with 15W-40 engine oil at the factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For Service CC, SD, SE, SF.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. Use oil having the following SAE viscosity rating, based on the ambient temperature range anticipated before the next oil change:

Temperature	Oil Grade (Recommended)
Above 80° F (27° C)	SAE 15W-40
32° to 80° F (-1° to 27° C)	SAE 15W-40
Below 32° F (0° C)	SAE 15W-40

NOTE:

5W-30 full synthetic oil is highly recommended in any element with temperatures above 90° F or below 30° F.

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recom- mended oil may result in an engine failure.

1.16 BEFORE INSTALLATION

Before installing this equipment, check the ratings of both the generator and the transfer switch. Read “Emergency Isolation Method” and “Total Circuit Isolation Method”.

The generator’s rated wattage/amperage capacity must be adequate to handle all electrical loads that the unit will power. The critical (essential) loads may need to be grouped together and wired into a sepa- rate “emergency” distribution panel.

This generator can be installed in conjunction with an engineered “GTS” type transfer switch, if neces- sary.

The standard transfer switch has no sensing or con- trolling circuit boards. Instead, the generator control console houses a “Printed Circuit Board Assembly”, which controls all phases of operation, including engine start up and load transfer.

2.1STANDBY GENERATOR

INSTALLATION

DANGER

Connecting this generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer switch, so as to isolate the electric system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electric system by these means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
