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

Wet stacking does not usually cause any permanent
damage and can be alleviated if additional load is applied to relieve the condition. It can reduce the system performance and increase maintenance. Applying an increasing load over a period of time until the excess fuel is burned off and the system capacity is reached usually can repair the condition. This can take several

INSTALLATION
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Install the generator in a area that is free of debris, bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby homes.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to engine and alternator parts.
CAUTION
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be routed to a ventilated area.
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
2
) 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.

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.

LOAD APPLICATION
SINGLE PHASE LOAD
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.
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 5 below when connecting loads.

THREE PHASE LOAD
When calculating the power requirements for 3-phase power use the following equation:
NOTICE
If 3Ø load (kVA) is not given on the equipment nameplate, approximate 3Ø load may be determined by multiplying voltage by amperage by 1.732
NOTICE
Motors and motor-driven equipment draw much greater current for starting than during operation.
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.
DANGER
Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch. Serious damage to the building’s electrical system may occur without this transfer switch.

COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE/SUMMER COOLANT/ WATER)
Isuzu recommends antifreeze/summer coolant for use in their
engines, which can be purchased in concentrate (and mixed with 50% demineralized water) or pre-diluted. See the Isuzu
Engine Owner’s Manual for further details.
WARNING
If adding coolant/antifreeze mix to the radiator, DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. The possibility of hot! coolant exists which can cause severe burns.
Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the recovery tank. When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT remove the radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See Table 12 for engine, radiator, and recovery tank coolant capacities. Make sure the coolant level in the recovery tank is always between the “H” and the “L” markings.

DEF Refueling (Continuous Operation)
It is recommended to shut down the engine prior to refilling the DEF tank. However, in special applications where shutdown is not possible, it is recommended to ONLY refill the DEF tank when the fluid level has been consumed down to 50%.
The DEF level sending unit requires a gradual DEF level decrease during continuous operation to validate proper operation. Failure of this sensor to report the decrease could result in an engine shutdown. A engine service technician would be required to remedy the shutdown.

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.

EMISSION CONTROL
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.

MAINTENANCE
SCR PURGE
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR)
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.
