loose. These units must be mounted to a steel or concrete base.
The unit should be mounted to allow ample working room around it.
A general rule to follow is to allow 24 inches or more of clearance
for maintenance. Follow local codes for clearance from combustible
surfaces.
INSTALLING THE FUEL LINE
WARNING: FIRE DANGER:
Connecting rigid fuel line (i.e. steel or copper line) directly to the inlet
fuel lter or fuel pump may cause the fuel line to crack during operation
creating a serious re hazard.
The fuel supply should be as close to the engine as possible. This will
reducetheinstallationcostoffuelrunsandminimizelinelosses.The
diesel fuel supply should be no more than 3 feet below the fuel inlet on
the pump. If your fuel supply is lower than three feet you may have to
install an additional lift pump to bring the fuel up to the mechanical fuel
pump on the engine.
The information in this manual is offered to assist you in providing the
proper fuel for your engine. However, this information is only provided
to inform you of the engine’s requirements and assist in making you
aware of the decisions you must make. In no case should the instruc-
tionsorinformationprovidedbeinterpretedtoconictwithanylocal,
state,ornationalcodes.Ifindoubt,alwaysconsultyourlocalre
marshal or fuel supplier.
Engine generator sets are properly adjusted before they leave the fac-
tory. Connecting a fuel supply with adequate supply volume is critical to
reliable operation. Diesel units with optional base mounted fuel tanks
are pre-plumbed to the mechanical fuel pump on the engine.
Open skid mounted Diesel units are often supplied with capped inlet
andreturnlines.Theuseofasustainablecustomersuppliedexible
fuel line is essential between the engine and fuel supply to provide a
vibration break between your fuel supply and the engine.
LUBRICATION
Before starting the engine, check the oil level in the crankcase. If
itislow,relltothefullmarkwiththeproperweight/gradeofoilas
recommended by the engine manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
The necessity of using the correct oil, and keeping the crankcase full,
cannotbeoveremphasized.Failuretousetheproperoilandkeepthe
crankcaseproperlylledwillcauseexcessiveenginewearandshorten
its useful life.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY:
PERSONAL INJURY - Before proceeding with the installation, be
sure the DSE7310 is in the “stop” position. Before proceeding with the
installation, be sure the Generator MLCB (Main Line Circuit Breaker) is
in the ‘OFF’ position and the unit starting battery is disconnected.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This engine-generator set is generally supplied as weather enclosed
packages for quick installation on an outdoor concrete pad. They are
also available as open skid mounted units for indoor installation in
a building or protective enclosure, properly ventilated, supplied by
the installer. The factory weather enclosures are acoustical housing
intended for outdoor installation only. Factory weather enclosed units
are not intended to be used indoors and no support is available to
assistinre-engineeringnishedpackagedunits.
All versions must be bolted to a solid base for proper operation. A
properly designed concrete pad is necessary for stationary operation.
AsubstantialDOTcertiedtrailerisrequiredformobileapplications.
Consultaqualied,licensedelectricianorcontractortoinstallandwire
the gen-set. The installation must comply with all national, state, and
local codes.
Before beginning the installation process, recheck the voltage, phase,
and amperage rating of the generator set. Be certain it can handle the
intended load and are compatible with the intended loads. Plans for
installation should be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and
electrical engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system installation.
Theinformationinthismanualisofferedonlyasaguidetonalizing
your installation plans.
NOTICE:
For full service switching of the entire load, the ATS must be ‘SE’
(Service Entrance) rated or must have a properly rated fusible
disconnect installed before the ATS to protect the contacts.
ENGINE GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
The unit’s main frame must be bolted solidly to a solid base. The
engine-generator is mounted on channels which are attached with
special shock mounts to the main frame. This allows the engine-
generator free movement without affecting the base or surrounding
equipment.
WARNING: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Never mount these engine-generator sets to a wooden base/structure.
Over time, the wood will deteriorate and the unit mountings will come
fuel can cause a shift in the balance of the fuel tank, making for a
DANGEROUS, unbalanced lifting load. If the generator was shipped on
the fuel tank, use the lifting points located on the fuel tank to move the
entire generator set into place. DO NOT PLACE FUEL IN THE TANK
PRIOR TO LIFTING.
