The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the DCA-800SSK "Engine Operating Panels " (Figure 11).

1.Air Cleaner Indicators – When lit, indicates air cleaner must be serviced or replaced. This engine of this generator requires two air cleaners.

2.Battery Switch – This switch should be set to the "ON" position during normal operation. When the engine has been stopped, place this switch in the "OFF" position. DO NOT turn this switch during normal operation; it will cause damage to the electrical equipment.

3.Ignition Switch (Up to S/N 3699247) – Four position switch, pre-heat, stop, run and start. Insert ignition key to start and stop engine..

4.Preheat Lamp – Indicates that the glow plugs of the diesel engine are hot is ready to start.

5.Emergency Stop Button – Press this button to stop the engine in the event of an emergency. DO NOT use this button as a normal means of stopping the engine.

6.Oil Filter Alarm Lamp – Indicates the oil filter is clogged and needs replacement.

7.Engine Warning Display (LED) Module – This module

display’s the following engine failures:

A. Overheat Lamp - This lamp turns on when the cooling water temperature rises beyond normal level. If the this light is on, the emergency shutdown device will stop the engine.

B. Low Oil Pressure Lamp - This lamp will turn on if the Auto-OFF/Reset-Manual switch on the Engine Controller is set in "Manual" position. It will remain lit until the oil pressure is at a normal level. If the lamp turns on at any time during the normal working time of the generator, it will shut down the engine.

C. Low Fuel Level Lamp - When lit, this indicates to add fuel. Let the engine cool before adding diesel fuel.

D. Low Battery Fluid Lamp - This indicates the battery fluid level is low. This indicator will shut down the engine. Refill the battery with distilled water.

E.Clogged Air Filter Lamp - This indicates the air filter is clogged. Stop the engine and replace the air filter.

8.Tachometer - Indicates engine speed in RPMs for 60Hz operation. Normal operation is 1800 RPMs when the load is applied. A built in hour meter will record the number of operational hours that the generator has been in use.

8.Oil Pressure gauge - This gauge indicates the oil pressure. During normal operation, the gauge should read in the 'green' zone. When starting the generator, the oil pressure may read slightly higher, but after the engine warms up, it should return to the "green" zone.

9.WaterTemp Gauge - This indicates the temperature of the coolant. During normal operation this gauge should read in the 'green' zone.

11.Charging Ammeter Gauge - This gauge indicates the current supplied by the alternator, which supplies current from the generator's control circuits and battery charging system.

12.Fuel Level Gauge -This gauge indicates diesel fuel level.

13.Engine Speed Switch (S/N 3699248~) – This switch changes the engine speed from low (idle) to high.

14.Preheat Button – Press and hold this button for 30seconds until the preheat lamp is lit (ON).
