DCA-56SPX — SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS

WARNING - ROTATING PARTS

NEVER operate equipment with covers, or guards removed. Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury.

CAUTION - ACCIDENTAL STARTING

ALWAYS place the engine ON/OFF switch (MPEC) in the OFF/RESET position when the generator is not in use.

CAUTION - OVER-SPEED CONDITIONS

NEVER tamper with the factory settings of the engine governor or settings. Personal injury and damage to the engine or equipment can result if operating in speed ranges above maximum allowable.

This generator, other property, or

NOTE the surrounding environment could be damaged if you do not follow instructions.

CAUTION - RESPIRATORY HAZARDS

ALWAYS wear approved respiratory protection.

CAUTION - SIGHT AND HEARING HAZARDS

ALWAYS wear approved eye and hearing protection.

CAUTION - EQUIPMENT DAMAGE MESSAGES

Other important messages are provided throughout this manual to help prevent damage to your generator, other property, or the surrounding environment.

CAUTION - ENGINE LOAD (WET-STACKING)

Wet-Stacking is a common problem with diesel engines which are operated for extended periods with light or no load applied. When a diesel engine operates without sufficient load (less than 40% of the rated output) it will not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system, which can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and exhaust system, including turbocharges, and reduce the operating performance.

In order for a diesel engine to operate at peak efficiency it must be able to provide fuel and air in the proper ratio and at a high enough engine temperature for the engine to completely burn all of the fuel.

Wet stacking does usually cause any permanent damage and can be alleviated if additional load is applied to relieve the condition. It can reduce the system performance and increase maintenance. Applying an increasing load over a period of time until the excess fuel is burned off and the system capacity is reached usually can repair the condition. This can take several hours to burn off the accumulated unburned fuel.
