DCA-60SSAI — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

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 11 on page 43).

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 that 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 unleaded automotive diesel. If diesel spillage occurs, completely wipe up the spilled fuel immediately.

CAUTION:

2.Connect the load to the UVW terminals as shown in Figure 37. These terminals can be found on the output terminal panel, (see page 22 Figure 6). To gain access to the output terminals lift the UVW cover. Tighten 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 38).

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 12) to the “OFF” position prior to starting the engine.
