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
