Towing Safety Precautions
CAUTION :
Check with your county or state safety towing
regulations department before towing your
generator.
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting
the generator on public roads, always make sure the trailer
(Figure 1) that supports the generator and the towing vehicle
are in good operating condition and both units are
mechanically sound.
The following list of suggestions should be used when towing
your generator:
■
Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are
rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight
rating" (GVWR).
■
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER
tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains etc.
■
Check the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle and
the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.
■
ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a "Safety
Chain".
ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chain to bumper of towing
vehicle.
■
ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional,
backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected and working
properly.

DCA-500SSK — TRAILER-SAFETY GUIDELINES
CAUTION:
ALWAYS make sure the trailer is in good
operating condition. Check the tires for
proper inflation and wear. Also check the
wheel lug nuts for proper tightness.
Explanation of Chart:
This section is intended to provide the user with trailer service and maintenance information. The service and maintenance guidelines referenced in this section apply a wide range
of trailers. Remember periodic inspection of the trailer will
ensure safe towing of the equipment and will prevent damage to the equipment and personal injury.
It is the purpose of this section to cover the major maintenance components of the trailer. The following trailer components will be discussed in this section:
Brakes
Tires
Lug Nut Torquing
Suspension
Electrical
Brake Troubleshooting Tables
Use the following definitions with reading Table 1.
1. Fuel Cell - Provides an adequate amount of fuel for the
equipment in use. Fuel cells must be empty when transporting equipment.
2. Braking System - System employed in stopping the
trailer. Typical braking systems are electric, surge, hydraulic, hydraulic-surge and air.
3. GVWR- Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), is the
maximum number of pounds the trailer can carry, including the fuel cell (empty).
4. Frame Length - This measurement is from the ball
hitch to the rear bumper (reflector).
5. Frame Width - This measurement is from fender to
fender.
6. Jack Stand - Trailer support device with maximum
pound requirement from the tongue of the trailer.
7. Coupler - Type of hitch used on the trailer for towing.
8. Tire Size - Indicates the diameter of the tire in inches
(10,12,14, etc.), and the width in millimeters
(175,185,205, etc.). The tire diameter must match the
diameter of the tire rim.
9. Tire Ply - The tire ply (layers) number is rated in
letters; 2-ply,4-ply,6-ply, etc.
10. Wheel Hub - The wheel hub is connected to the
trailer’s axle.
11. Tire Rim - Tires mounted on a tire rim. The tire rim must
match the size of the tire.
12. Lug Nuts - Used to secure the wheel to the wheel hub.
Always use a torque wrench to tighten down the lug
nuts. See Table 4 and Figure 5or lug nut tightening and
sequence.
13. Axle - Indicates the maximum weight the axle can support in pounds, and the diameter of the axle expressed
in inches (see Table 3). Please not that some trailers
have a double axle. This will be shown as 2-6000 lbs.,
meaning two axles with a total weight capacity of 6000
pounds.
14. Suspension - Protects the trailer chassis from shocks
transmitted through the wheels. Types of suspension
used are leaf, Q-flex, and air ride.
15. Electrical - Electrical connectors (looms) are provided
with the trailer so the brake lights and turn signals can
be connected to the towing vehicle.

DCA-500SSK — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES
Brakes
If your trailer has a braking system, the brakes should be
inspected the first 200 miles of operation. This will allow the
brake shoes and drums to seat properly. After the first 200
mile interval, inspect the brakes every 3,000 miles. If driving
over rough terrain, inspect the brakes more frequently.
Electric Brakes
Electrically actuated brakes (Figure 2) are similar to hydraulic
brakes. The basic difference is that hydraulic brakes are
actuated by an electromagnet.
Listed below are some of the advantages that electric brakes
have over hydraulic brakes:
Brake system can be manually adjusted to provide the
corrected braking capability for varying road and load
conditions
Brake system can be modulated to provide more or less
braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing
vehicle
Brake system has very little lag time between the time
the vehicle’s brakes are actuated and the trailer’s brakes
are actuated
Brake system can provide an independent emergency
brake system
Remember in order to properly synchronize the tow vehicle’s
braking to the trailer’s braking, can only be accomplished by
road testing. Brake lockup, grabbiness or harshness is due
to lack of synchronization between the tow vehicle and the
trailer being towed or under-adjusted brakes.
Before any brake synchronizations adjustments can be made,
the trailer brakes should be burnished-in by applying the
brakes 20-30 times with approximately a 20 m.p.h. decrease
in speed, e.g. 40 m.p.h. to 20 m.p.h. Allow ample time for
brakes to cool between application. This allows the brake
shoes to slightly be seated into the brake drum surface.
Figure 2 displays the major electric brake components that
will require inspection and maintenance. Please inspect these
components as required.
Electric Brake Adjustment
1. Place the trailer on jack stands. Make sure the jack
stands are placed on secure level ground.
2. Check the wheel and drum for free rotation.
3. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot
at the bottom brake backing plate.
4. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the
star wheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake
shoes.
5. Adjust the brake shoes outward until the pressure of the
lining against the wheel drum makes the wheel difficult
to turn.
6. Rotate the star wheel in the opposite direction until the
wheel rotates freely with slight lining drag.
7. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the trailer to
the ground.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 on the remaining brakes.

Hydraulic/Air/Surge Brakes
Hydraulic brakes (Figure 3) should not require any special
attention with the exception of routine maintenance such as
shoe and lining replacement. These brakes can be adjusted
components that will require inspection and maintenance.
Please inspect these components as required using steps 1
through 6 as referenced in the electric brake adjustments
section.
in the same manner as electric brakes. Brake lines should
be periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.

DCA-500SSK — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES
Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical
components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the
trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are
properly matched.
CAUTION:
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a
wheel. DO NOT install in inner tube to
correct a leak through the rim. If the
rim is cracked, the air pressure in the
inner tube may cause pieces of the rim
to explode (break off) with great force
and cause serious eye or bodily injury.
Suspension
The leaf suspension springs and associated components
(Figure 4) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles for
Tire Wear/Inflation
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.
Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO NOT
bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life
and tread wear.
Table 2 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.
signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and
loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts
(suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components
as detailed in Table 3.
CAUTION:
NOTE
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing
or installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply
may result in serious injury.

Lug Nut Torque Requirements
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the
fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper
procedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:
1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.
2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence. See Figure 5. DO NOT
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten
each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 4.
3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.
Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.

DCA-500SSK — INSTALLATION
Outdoor Installation
Install the generator in a location where it will not be
exposed to rain or sunshine. 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 the exhaust will
not be discharged in the direction of nearby homes.
The installation site must be free from excessive moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment must 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 will cause excessive wear to the 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.
CAUTION :
Generator Grounding
To prevent electrical shock and possible damage to the
equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH ground.
Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
provides guide lines for proper grounding and specifies the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set 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 mm2) or larger.
b.Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.
2.When grounding the generator (Figure 27) connect the
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on
the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other
end of the ground cable to earth ground.
An electric shock will happen when
vibrators are used. Pay close attention to
handling when operating vibrators and
always use rubber boots and gloves to
insulate the body from electrical shock.
Indoor Installation
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely
poisonous. If the generator is installed indoors, the exhaust
fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine must be
installed at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an
exhaust pipe that is too long or too small will cause
excessive back pressure resulting in engine overheating.
Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Exhaust fumes from any diesel engine are very poisonous
if discharged in a closed room, but harmless if allowed to
mix with the outside air.
3.NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground
rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
NOTE
When connecting the generator
to any buildings electrical system
ALWAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.

Cleaning the Radiator
The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the radiator
fins with compressed air. Cleaning inside the machine is
dangerous, so clean only with the engine turned off and the
battery disconnected.
Air Cleaner
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. See
maintenance section for instruction to cleaning/replacing air
cleaner.
Fan Belt Tension
A slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or to
insufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt for
damage and wear. See maintenance section on replacing
belts. To adjust tension:
1.Insert a bar between alternator and the cylinder block to
fix alternator in position. When fixing the alternator in
position, insert a wooden block between the bar and
alternator to prevent damage to the alternator.
2.Loosen bolts and nuts located on the alternator.
3.Move alternator with the bar so the deflection of the belt
is approx. 8mm.
4.Tighten the bolt and nuts to fix the alternator back to
position.
The fan belt tension is proper if the fan belt bends 7 to 10
mm (Figure 29) when depressed with the thumb as shown
below.

or connections. If any wiring or connections are exposed
(insulation missing) replace wiring immediately.
Piping and Hose Connection
Inspect all piping, oil hose, and fuel hose connections for
wear and tightness. Tighten all hose clamps and check hoses
for leaks.
If any hose (fuel or oil) lines are defective replace them
immediately.
Battery
This unit is of negative ground DO NOT connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level is not
properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of
the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68°F). If the specific gravity
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates the battery is
discharged and needs to be recharged or replaced.
Check to see whether the battery cables are loose. Poor
contact may result in poor starting or malfunctions. Always
keep the terminals firmly tightened. Coating the terminals
with a thin film of grease will help inhibit corrosion.
:
Inadequate battery connections may cause
poor starting of the generator, and create
other malfunctions.
2.Place a small amount of grease around both battery
terminals. This will ensure a good connection and will
help prevent corrosion around the battery terminals.

CAUTION:
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the
generator and equipment to insure the wattage,
amperage and frequency 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.
NOTE
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

DCA-500SSK — MAINTENANCE
General Inspection
Prior to each use, the generating set should be cleaned and
inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or
damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel
or oil leaks.
Air Cleaner
Every 50 hours: If dust indicator is red, clean the air cleaner
element.
Outer Element:
1.Loosen wing bolt, remove dust cup, then remove wing
nut and take out element.
2.Clean the inside of the body and cover using a damp
cloth.
3.Blow dry with compressed air (0.69Mpa [7kgf.cm
99.4 PSI] maximum) against the side of the element
along the pleats. Then blow dry against outside along
the pleats, then against inside again.
4.Remove one seal each time the element is cleaned.
5.Replace the outer element after cleaning it 6 times or
after one year. Replace the outer element if indicator is
red even after cleaning it.
6.Check the inner cylinder element clamping nut for
looseness, and retighten if necessary.
7.If seal washer is damaged or the threads of wing nut are
damaged, replace.
8.Remove evacuator valve and clean it with compressed
air. Reinstall.
Inner element (if equipped)
1.Remove the cover and outer element, then remove the
inner element.
2.Cover the air connector opening (outer side) with clean
cloth or cloth tape.
3.Clean the inside of the body. Remove air connector
opening protection.
4.Install a new inner cylinder element to the cylinder and
tighten the nut.
5.Install element.
6.After replacing the element, press the button of the dust
indicator to return the red piston to its original position.
Fuel Addition
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season
and locations). Always pour through the mesh filter.
Removing Water from the Tank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally remove the drain
cock and drain the contents. During cold weather, the greater
the empty volume inside the tank, the easier it is for water to
condense. This can be reduced by always keeping the tank
as full as possible.
Air Removal
If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine,
starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel, or
2
,
after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system
according to the following procedure.
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the key switch to the
“START” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed.
This unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.
Service Daily
If engine is operating in very dusty and dry grass conditions,
a clogged air cleaner will result in high fuel consumption,
loss of power and excessive carbon buildup in the
combustion chamber.
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer
Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove
dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in diesel. Securely
fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not leak. Check
the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or once a month.
Check Oil Level
Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the
fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe damage
to the engine. Make sure the generator is level. The oil level
must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown
in Figure 14, page 39.
Flushing Out Radiator and Changing Coolant
1.Stop the engine and allow to cool. Tighten valve of the
corrosion resistor (if equipped).
PAGE 56 — DCA-500SSK — PARTS AND OPERATION MANUAL (STD) — REV. #1 (04/14/01)
2.Turn water filer cap slowly and remove it.
3.Prepare a container to catch the coolant, then open drain
plug of the radiator or heat exchanger and drain plug of
the engine, and drain the coolant.
4.After draining the coolant, close drain plugs and fill with
tap water.
Page 57
DCA-500SSK — MAINTENANCE
5.When the water level is near the mouth of the water
filler, open drain plugs and start the engine, and run at
low idling. Keep the engine running at low idling and
flush the radiator for about 10 minutes.
6.Adjust the flow of the water flowing in and draining out to
ensure that the radiator is always full during the flushing
operation, While flushing water through the system,
watch carefully the water inlet hose does not come out
of the radiator filler port.
7.After flushing, stop the engine, open drain plug and drain
the water, then close drain plugs.
8.After draining the water, flush the system with a flushing
agent. See instructions on flushing agent label.
9.After flushing, open drain plugs and drain out all the
water, then close drain plugs and add tap water so the
water level is near the mouth of the water filler.
10. When the water level is near the mouth of the water
filler, open drain plugs and start the engine, run at low
idling and continue to flush the system until clean water
comes out. Adjust the flow of the water flowing in and
draining out to ensure the radiator is always full during
the flushing operation.
11. When clean water comes out, stop the engine, drain all
the water, then close drain plugs.
Changing Oil
1.Make sure the oil is cool before changing.
2.Set a container directly under the drain plug of the oil
pan. Loosen the drain plug slowly.
3.Check the drained oil for excessive metal particles or
foreign material. Contact the distributor if there is metal
particles or foreign material.
4.Using a filter wrench, turn filter cartridge to the left to
remove it. If the filter cartridge is filled with a large
amount of oil, wait 10 minutes or so before removing.
Make sure there is no old gasket stuck on the filter holder.
5.Tighten drain plug. Clean the filter holder, fill the new
filter cartridge with clean engine oil, coat the packing
and thread of the new filter cartridge with engine oil,
then install it to the filter holder. Tighten until the gasket
surface contacts the seal surface of the filter holder,
then tighten it a further 3/4 to 1 turn.
6.Add engine oil through oil filler until the oil level is between
the H and L marks on the dipstick.
7.Run the engine at idling for a short time, then stop the
engine. Recheck the oil level and fill as necessary.
Replacing fuel filter
1.Set the container under the filter cartridge to catch fuel.
12. Remove the corrosion resistor (if equipped) and open
valve.
13. Supply water until it flows over the water filler.
14. Drain the water inside reserve tank, clean the inside of
the reserve tank, then fill with coolant/water mixture to
between the full and low lines.
15. Stop the engine, wait for 3 minutes, add tap water until
the water level reaches near the water filer port, then
tighten the radiator cap.
Check Electric Heater (If equipped)
Before starting in cold weather (once a year), please contact
your Komatsu distributor for inspection. Remove electric
heater from the engine intake manifold and check for
disconnections or dirt. When checking or installing the electric
heater, replace the gasket with a new part.
2.Using a filter wrench, turn the filter cartridge to the left
to remove it.
3.Clean the filter holder, fill the new filter cartridge with
fuel, coat the packing surface of the filter cartridge with
engine oil, then install the cartridge to the filter holder.
4.When installing, tighten until the packing surface
contacts the seal surface of the filter holder then tighten
a further 2/3 of a turn. If the filter cartridge is tighten too
much, the packing will be damaged and will cause fuel
leakage. Fuel leakage will occur if the filter cartridge is
not tightened enough. Always tighten to the correct
angle.
5.After replacing filter cartridge, loosen air bleed plug.
6.Loosen the knob of feed pump, and pump it up and down
until no bubbles come our with the fuel from air bleed
plug.
