HAZARD SYMBOLS
SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure to the operator, and are preceded by one of three words: DANGER,
WARNING, or CAUTION.
Lethal Exhaust Gases
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a confined area or enclosed structure that does not
provide ample free flow air.
Explosive Fuel
Diesel fuel is extremely flammable, and its vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine parts or
sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames. NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
DANGER: You WILL be KILLED or
SERIOUSLY injured if you DO NOT follow directions.

Battery
The battery contains acids that can cause injury to the eyes and skin. To avoid eye irritation, Use well insulated gloves when picking up the battery. Use the following guidelines when handling the battery:
1. DO NOT drop the battery. There is the possibility of risk that the battery may explode.
2. DO NOT expose the battery to open flames, sparks, cigarettes etc. The battery contains combustible gases and liquids. If these gases and liquids come in contact with a flame or spark, an explosion could occur.
3. ALWAYS keep the battery charged. If the battery is not charged a buildup of combustible gas will occur.

wear safety glasses.
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
To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH ground.
Article 250 (Grounding) of the (NEC) provides guide lines 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.
ALWAYS be sure to use the ground terminal (green wire) when connecting a load to the UVWO output terminals.

To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the generator on public roads, always make sure the trailer 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) of 6,000 lbs.
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains etc.

PAGE 14 — DCA-125SSJU SERIES (STANDARD) — PARTS AND OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #4 (06/03/03)
DCA-125SSJU SERIES — 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.
CAUTIONCAUTION

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
To guard against 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 that 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 2) 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.
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground
rod should be buried aminimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
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 5-4.1). 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.
NOTE
When connecting the generator to any buildings electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed electrician.

Open Delta Excitation System
The DCA-125SSJU Series Generator is equipped with the state of the art " 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 ot 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 " according the demands of the required load.
Engine
The DCA-125SSJU Series Generator is powered by a 4 cycle, water cooled, turbocharged
Model
6068TF250 meet every performance requirement for the generator. Reference Table 1 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.
Mechanical Governor System
The mechanical governor system control the RPM of the engine. When the engine demands increase or decrease, the mechanical governor system regulates the frequency varia­tion to ±.5%. The electronic governor option increases frequency variation to ±0.25%.
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 5) as a guide for selecting proper extension cable size.
