Verify the trailer hitch and the coupling are
compatible. Make sure the coupling is securely fastened to the vehicle.
DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts. Inspect
the hitch and coupling for wear or damage.
Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under
the tongue.
Before towing the trailer, verify the weight of the
trailer is equal across all tires. On trailers with adjustable height hitches, adjust the angle of the trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as possible.

Running Lights

Verify directional and brake lights on the trailer are connected and working properly.

Wheels and Tires

Check trailer tires for wear and proper inflation.
Verify wheel lug nuts are present and tightened to
the specified torque.

Safe Towing Techniques

Practice turning, stopping and backing up in an area away from heavy traffic prior to transporting the unit.
Maximum recommended speed for highway towing
is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recommended off-road towing speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, depending on terrain.
When towing, maintain extra space between
vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and sudden lane changes.
DO NOT start a unit in need of repair.

Towing Safety

Towing a trailer requires care. Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Some states require that large trailers be registered and licensed. Contact your local Department of Transportation office to check on license requirements for your particular unit.

Hitch and Coupling

Verify the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

ECOSpeed™ Engine

This unit is equipped with an ECOSpeed engine that runs at variable speeds depending on the applied operational load. Operating temperature remains constant regardless of engine speed or applied loads.
Refer to Operation for more information.

Positive Air Shutdown (PAS) (if equipped)

See Figure 2-5. This unit may be equipped with a positive air shutdown (A) on the air intake. The PAS system automatically stops the engine if speed exceeds 2100 rpm. Engine overspeed can occur if the atmosphere contains elevated levels of combustible propane or natural gas.
valve does not close, contact Generac Mobile Products Technical Support.

Reset the PAS

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before resetting the PAS, turn the
Control Power switch OFF (O). This will prevent unexpected engine start-up during the procedure.
1. Rotate the reset knob (C) and hold it in place while
pulling the T-handle until knob rotates counter­clockwise into plunger detent. An audible “click” indicates the knob has seated properly
2. Verify that the knob is parallel to the intake pipe
centerline.
3. Release T-handle, and then release knob. Knob
should remain parallel to the intake pipe centerline.

Lower Radiator Hose Heater (if equipped)

Use and Maintenance

The lower radiator hose heater is designed to enable engine start-up in extreme cold weather conditions by warming the engine coolant. While the heater is designed to be operated overnight if necessary, two to five hours of heating just prior to starting is usually sufficient for proper engine starting.
Figure 2-5. Positive Air Shutdown
The PAS system stops the engine by closing an internal valve and obstructing intake air. Shutdown is triggered automatically by an output from the controller, manually by pulling the T-handle (B), or by pressing the emergency stop button on the control panel.
The reset knob (C) rotates 90 degrees to block airflow. If the knob is parallel to the pipe centerline (as shown), the valve is open. If the knob is perpendicular to the pipe centerline, the valve is closed and airflow is blocked.

Test the PAS

Test the PAS at least once a month to ensure optimal valve performance.
Verify the engine is OFF before testing the PAS.
There are two methods of testing. NOTE: The main power and controller must be ON for each method.
1. Pull the T-handle. (NOTE: The valve must be open
before testing.)
2. Press the emergency stop button. Testing the PAS
triggers an actuator, closing the butterfly valve inside the valve body. An audible click can be heard when the actuator engages. Confirm that the valve is closed by verifying that the knob has rotated perpendicular to the pipe centerline. If
NOTE: Use the lower radiator hose heater only in its designated location. Improper use can damage the engine.
Perform the following steps when operating a unit equipped with a lower radiator hose heater.
1. Verify the unit is level so as to maintain proper
orientation of the heater while it is in operation.
2. Verify the cooling system is full of the proper
mixture of water and engine coolant before each heater use.
3. Use only an undamaged, outdoor rated, three-
prong grounded 120VAC extension cord with a minimum amperage rating of 10A. Connect the cord to a properly grounded 120VAC, GFCI outlet.
4. Before starting the engine, unplug the extension
cord from the power first, then unplug the heater cord set from the extension cord.

Diesel Fired Block Heater

See Figure 2-6. A diesel fired block heater is located inside the cabinet. Coolant is drawn through the heater by an internal electric pump, and warmed by a diesel­fueled burner. Heated coolant is then circulated through the engine block and returned to the heater where the cycle is repeated.

Heated Fuel Filter (if equipped)

See Figure 2-7. An optional heated fuel filter (A) prevents diesel fuel from gelling in extremely cold temperatures. Heating cycles are automatically controlled by the Power Zone–DLA.
Figure 2-6. Diesel Fired Block Heater
The diesel fired block heater operates automatically when the unit is set to “dusk to dawn” mode. The heater does NOT operate when the unit is manual mode. The keep run switch is a separate option that can not be used in conjunction with the diesel fired block heater. See
Preparing for Start-Up for more information about unit
operating modes.
NOTE:
The controller initiates the start sequence when the heater reaches a coolant temperature of 86°F (30°C), See
Start Sequences
for more information about the unit
start sequence.

Battery Disconnect (if equipped)

See Figure 2-8. This unit may be equipped with a battery disconnect switch (A). This lockable switch temporarily removes the battery from the unit electrical circuit without actually disconnecting the battery cables.
NOTE: A padlock is not included with this unit and must

Heater Lockout Reset Procedure

be supplied by the customer.
Three engine start attempts will trigger a shutdown error and the controller will need to be reset. Afterwards, the controller can be restarted and tried again for another three crank attempts. The controller can be reset as many times as needed.
The heater may also enter the lockout mode after experiencing an overheat condition.
The following procedure will clear the lockout mode and reset the heater for normal operation:
1. Remove fuse F1 (15 Amp). See Wiring Diagrams
for identification.
2. Wait 10 seconds with the fuse out to prepare the
control unit for resetting.
3. Reinsert fuse F1.
4. Wait 10 seconds then turn the heater on using the
On/Off switch or the Instant On button on the optional timer.
5. Wait 10 seconds after turning the heater on and
remove fuse F1.
6. Wait 30 seconds and then turn the heater off at the
