SHUTDOWN

Normal Shut-down Procedure

To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:

1.Switch the MAIN, AUX and GFCI circuit breakers (Figure 53) to the OFF position (no load).

Emergency Shut-down Procedure

1.To shut-down the engine in the event of an emergency, switch the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD (Figure 53) circuit breakers to OFF position.

2.Turn the ignition switch key to the STOP position (Figure 54).

Automatic Shut-down System

This unit is equipped with safety devices to automatically stop the engine in the event of low oil pressure, approximately 14 psi (97 kPa), or high water temperature, approximately 230° F (110° C). The alarm lamps on the Engine Control Panel illuminate to signify the reason for the shutdown.

Circuit Breakers (OFF)

3.Let the engine cool by running it for 3-5 minutes with no load applied (circuit breakers in the OFF position).

4.Place the ignition switch (Figure 54) in the “STOP”position, remove the key and store in a safe place.

CAUTION

After automatic shut-down, ALWAYS inspect the unit and eliminate any problems before attempting to restart. Failure to do so can damage the unit.

Before inspecting, turn the starter switch to the STOP position, place all Generator Circuit Breakers in the OFF position and allow sufficient time for adequate cooling. When ready to restart, complete all steps in the Generator Startup Procedure section of this manual.

5.Remove all loads from the generator.

6.Allow for sufficient time for cooling and then inspect the complete unit for any damage or loosening that may have occured during operation.

7.Check the engine oil, coolant and fuel levels. Replenish as necessary.

NOTICE

Engine protection is furnished during operation, but cannot replace normal preventive maintenance.

Regularly maintain the unit as specified in the Maintenance section of this manual to prevent damage.

DCA25USI2XF, DCA25USIXF specifications

Multiquip is a renowned name in the construction and industrial equipment sector, known for delivering high-performance generators that cater to various power needs. Two standout models in their lineup are the DCA25USIXF and DCA25USI2XF, both designed for reliability, efficiency, and versatility.

The Multiquip DCA25USIXF is a compact, industrial-grade diesel generator that delivers a powerful 25 kVA, making it ideal for construction sites, outdoor events, and emergency backup applications. This model is powered by a robust Yanmar diesel engine, which ensures high fuel efficiency and low emissions, adhering to stringent environmental standards. The DCA25USIXF features an advanced digital control panel, providing users with an intuitive interface for monitoring performance, voltage output, and operational status. Its sound-attenuated enclosure significantly reduces noise levels, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive areas.

On the other hand, the DCA25USI2XF model takes power generation a step further by offering dual voltage capabilities, allowing users to switch between 120V and 240V outputs. This flexibility makes it highly versatile, catering to a broader range of tools and equipment. Like the DCA25USIXF, the DCA25USI2XF is also equipped with Yanmar’s reliable diesel engine, which contributes to its durability and long service life. Both models come with a heavy-duty frame to withstand tough conditions, ensuring durability on job sites.

The technology implemented in these generators includes automatic voltage regulation (AVR), which stabilizes voltage output, protecting sensitive equipment from power surges. Additionally, the generators feature a low oil shutdown system, which prevents engine damage by automatically shutting down the generator when oil levels are low. This protective measure not only enhances the longevity of the generator but also contributes to safer operation.

In terms of portability, both models are equipped with rugged wheels and a lifting eye, facilitating easy transportation to various job sites. With their combination of power, efficiency, and advanced features, the Multiquip DCA25USIXF and DCA25USI2XF generators are excellent choices for professionals seeking reliable power solutions in demanding environments. Whether for construction, events, or standby power, these generators deliver exceptional performance tailored to meet diverse needs.
