Wet stacking is a common problem with diesel engines
which are operated for extended periods with light or
no load applied. When a diesel engine operates without
suffi cient load (less than 40% of the rated output), it will
not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow
unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system,
which can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and
exhaust system, including turbochargers, and reduce

GENERATOR GROUNDING
NOTICE
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) and the National Electrical Code (NEC)
recommend that if the generator is providing electrical
power to a structure (home, office shop, trailer or
similar) it must be connected to a grounding electrode
system, such a driven ground rod (Figure 2).
if applicable ,to guard against electrical shock and possible
damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good
EARTH ground, (Figure 2).
NOTICE
ALWAYS check with State, Province, District and
Municipalities for electrical grounding requirements
before using generator.
Article 250 (Grounding) of the NEC handbook provides
guidelines for proper grounding and specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely
poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the
exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine
should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall.
Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can
cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine
to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.
MOUNTING
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation
(such as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to
isolate vibration of the generator when it is running. The
generator must set at least 6 inches above the floor or grade
level (in accordance to NFPA 110, Chapter 54.1). DO NOT
remove the metal skids on the bottom of the generator.
They are to resist damage to the bottom of the generator
and to maintain alignment.
NEC article 250 specifices the following grounding
requirements:
1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the
generator to earth ground.
a. Copper 10 AWG (5.3 mm
b. Aluminum 8 AWG (8.4 mm

) or larger.
2
) or larger.
2. When grounding of the generator (Figure 2) is required,
connect one end the ground cable to the ground lug
on the generator. Connect the other end of the ground
cable to the ground rod (earth ground).
3. NEC article 250 specifies that the earth ground rod
should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
NOTICE
When connecting the generator to any buildings
electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.
This generator (Figure 4) is designed as a high quality
portable (requires a trailer for transport) power source for
telecom sites, lighting facilities, power tools, submersible
pumps and other industrial and construction machinery.

OPEN DELTA EXCITATION SYSTEM
Each generator is equipped with the state of the art “OpenDelta” excitation system. The open delta system consist
of an electrically independent winding wound among
stationary windings of the AC output section.
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and
D. During steady state loads, the power from the voltage
regulator is supplied from the parallel connections of A to
B, A to D, and C to D. These three phases of the voltage
input to the voltage regulator are then rectified and are the
excitation current for the exciter section.
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short
circuit occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
switches the configuration of the open delta to the series
connection of B to C. This has the effect of adding the
voltages of each phase to provide higher excitation to the
exciter section and thus better voltage response during the
application of heavy loads.
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are
for sensing only. No power is required from these windings.
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation
current, offering maximum motor starting capabilities. The
excitation does not have a “fixed ceiling” and responds
according the demands of the required load.
ENGINE
This generator is powered by a 4 cylinder, 4-cycle water
cooled, direct injection, turbocharged, air cooled EGR
ISUZU BR-4HK1X diesel engine. This engine is designed
to meet every performance requirement for the generator.
Reference Table 2 for engine specifications.
In keeping with MQ Power’s policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject
to change without prior notice.
ELECTRIC GOVERNOR SYSTEM
The electric governor system controls the RPMs of the engine.
When the engine demand increases or decreases, the
governor system regulates the frequency variation to ±.25%.
EXTENSION CABLES
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or
loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords
are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for
distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop
between the generator and point of use (load) is held to
a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 6) as a
guide for selecting proper extension cable size.

Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage, frequency,
and voltage requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the
generator for operating the equipment.
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the
equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require
130—150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate,
as the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor
and starting system of the equipment.
NOTICE
If wattage is not given on the equipment’s name plate,
approximate wattage may be determined by multiplying
nameplate voltage by the nameplate amperage.

An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry the
required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn out
the appliance or tool and overheat the cable. See Table 6.
When connecting a resistance load such as an
incandescent lamp or electric heater, a capacity of up
to the generating set’s rated output (kW) can be used.
When connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a
capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW)
multiplied by 0.6 can be used.
When connecting an electric drill or other power tools,
pay close attention to the required starting current
capacity.
When connecting ordinary power tools, a capacity of up to
the generating set’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.8 can
be used.

or to insufficient charging of the battery, adjust drive belt in
accordance with the Isuzu Operator's manual
Drive Belt Inspection
Inspect the drive belt for damage and wear. Horizontal
cracks (across the belt) are acceptable. Vertical (direction
of belt ribs) cracks that intersect with horizontal cracks are
not acceptable.
Also, examine the belt and determine if it is oil soaked or
"glazed " (hard shiny appearance on the sides of the belt).
Either of these two conditions can cause the belt to run hot,
which can weaken it and increase the danger of it breaking.
If the drive belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions,
replace the drive belt immediately.

When using a high pressure washer, stand at least 5 feet
(1.5 meters) away from the radiator to prevent damage to
the fins and tube.
GENERATOR STORAGE
For long term storage of the generator the following is
recommended:
Drain the fuel tank completely. Treat with a fuel stabilizer
if necessary.
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if
necessary with fresh oil.
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.
Disconnect the battery.
Make sure engine coolant is at proper level.
If generator is mounted on a trailer, jack trailer up and
place on blocks so tires do not touch the ground or block
and completely remove the tires.
JACKET WATER HEATER AND INTERNAL BATTERY
CHARGER 120 VAC INPUT RECEPTACLES
(OPTIONAL)
This generator can be equipped as an option with a
engine block heating element and an internal battery
charger. They are provided with electric cords to connect
to a commercial power source.
The engine block heating element and internal battery
charger both require 120 VAC in order to operate. A
receptacle (Figure 66) has been provided on the output
terminal panel to allow commercial power to be applied.
These units will ONLY function when commercial power
has been supplied to them. When using extension cords,
refer to Table 6 for the correct size and length.
The battery charger should always be connected to a
commercial power source to ensure that the battery does
not get discharged.
When using the generator in hot climates there is no
need to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the
generator will be used in cold climates, it is best to apply
power to the jacket water heater at all times.
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should
normally not require charging. If the generator will be idle
(not used) for long periods of time, apply power to the
battery charger receptacle via commercial power using a
power cord of adequate size.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate starting capability, always have
power applied to the generator's internal battery
charger.

The emission control system employed with this ISUZU
diesel engine consist of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst as
an exhaust gas after-treatment system that helps reducing
harmful gases and destroying the organic fraction of the
particulate matter produced from the exhaust gas to meet
the requirement for EPA Tier 4 (Final) regulations.
The DOC device (Figure 67) helps in filtering out large
amounts of harmful Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM) which are emitted by diesel engines. These
exhaust emissions pose serious environmental and health
risks. It is important to maintain and service the DOC
emission safety device on a periodic basis.
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)
The DOC does not filter particles it oxidizes them. This
catalyst (honeycomb like structure) uses a chemical
process to break down pollutants in the exhaust stream
into less harmful components. In general this catalyst
collects/burns accumulated particulates. The DOC contains
palladium and platinum which serve as a catalysts to oxidize
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
EMISSION CARBON CHECK
Deposition of carbon (soot, unburned fuel) in the exhaust
pipe line and muffler could cause not only system derates
but also could lead to fires.
To reduce soot and unburned fuel, run the unit at rated
power until the exhaust gas become mostly colorless every
250 hours operation time. More carbon will be generated
when the unit operates at less then 30% of rated power. In
this case, perform the above procedures more frequently.
NOTICE
Applying a large load suddenly to the unit when the
carbon deposition is generated in the exhaust system
could produce sparks and will lead to abnormal
combustion. Therefore, apply load gradually and
observe the exhaust gas color during the process.
Diesel engines can be run with a lean burn air-to-fuel ratio,
to ensure the full combustion of soot and to prevent the
exhaust of unburnt fuel. The excess of air necessarily leads
to generation of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are harmful
pollutants, from the nitrogen in the air. Selective Catalytic Reduction is used to reduce the amount of NOx released
into the atmosphere.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) from a separate tank is
injected into the exhaust pipeline, where the aqueous urea
vaporizes and decomposes to form ammonia and carbon
dioxide. Within the SCR catalyst, the NO
reduced by the ammonia (NH3) into water (H2O) and
nitrogen (N2), which are both harmless; and these are then
released through the exhaust.
The SCR system creates a certain amount of amonia (NH
that is stored in SCR catalyst. During purging operations
the increase in temperature at regular intervals eleminates
the stored ammonia.
The process of keeping accurate amonia storage amounts
is by counting urea injection quantities from the Dosing
Control Unit (DCU)
The SCR Purge symbol (Figure 68) will be displayed on the
ECU controller during operation when either an automatic
or forced system purge operation is in process.

NOTICE
During urea SCR system purging, white smoke may
be emitted from the exhaust tailpipe temporarily this
shoud not be considered a failure. In addition the smell
of amonia during the purging process should not be
considered a failure.
If the purging process is underway while running a light
load (0-30%) the unit may produce unusual sounds.
This should not be considered a failure or malfunction.
SYSTEM PURGING GUIDELINES
NOTICE
DO NOT perform purging in conditions where it may be
unsafe due to high exhasust temperatures.
)
For safe operation of equipment, the sourounding area and
the prevention of bodily harm, use the guidelines below
when system purging is required:
NOTICE
The area above and around the generator during the
purging process should be free of any type of debris,
flammable or conbustible materials, as temperatures
during the purging process can reach as high 1,022
°F (550 °C).
DO NOT operate the unit in area with poor ventilation.
If operating the engine indoors, install exhaust/ventilation
equipment and ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.
If you begin to feel sick, stop the unit immediately and
ventilate the area.
Exhaust emissions from the tailpipe have a smell different
from those emitted from engines without urea SCR
systems due to the exhaust emission reduction functions
of the exhaust system.
If the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) symbol (Figure 69) is
displayed during ECU controller operation, it indicates the
following:
DEF tank level is below 10%. Reference Table 17, DEF
Level System Action System.
DEF quality is poor. Check DEF tank level and check
active diagnostics trouble codes (DTC).
