SAFETY INFORMATION

FUEL SAFETY

DANGER

„DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids. Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited.

„ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.

„ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.

„DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot.

„DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from the ignition system.

„Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.

„NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.

„DO NOT smoke around or near the equipment. Fire or explosion could result

from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a hot engine.

TOWING SAFETY

CAUTION

„Check with your local county or state safety

towing regulations, in addition to meeting

Department of Transportation (DOT) SafetyTowing Regulations, before towing your generator.

„Refer to MQ Power trailer manual for additional safety information.

„In order to reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the generator on public roads, ALWAYS make sure the trailer that supports the generator and the towing vehicle are mechanically sound and in good operating condition.

„ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting

„Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross vehicle weight rating.”

„ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.

„Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and trailer. Trailer tires should be inflated to 50 psi cold. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

„ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a safety chain.

„ALWAYS properly attach trailer’s safety chains to towing vehicle.

„ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional, backup, brake and trailer lights are connected and working properly.

„DOT Requirements include the following:

s #ONNECT AND TEST ELECTRIC BRAKE OPERATION

s 3ECURE PORTABLE POWER CABLES IN CABLE TRAY WITH TIE wraps.

„The maximum speed for highway towing is 55 MPH unless posted otherwise.Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.

„Avoid sudden stops and starts.This can cause skidding, or jack-knifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve towing.

„Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

„Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times when towing.

„Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in up position when towing.

„Place chock blocks underneath wheel to prevent rolling while parked.

„Place support blocks underneath the trailer’s bumper to prevent tipping while parked.

„Use the trailer’s swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to a level position while parked.

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.
