DCA20SPXU2D 60 HZ GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (03/25/11) — PAGE 7
SAFETY INFORMATION
ENGINE SAFETY
DANGER
The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can
cause death if inhaled.
The engine of this equipment
requires an adequate free
fl ow of cooling air. NEVER
operate this equipment in
any enclosed or narrow area
where free fl ow of the air is
restricted. If the air fl ow is
restricted it will cause injury to people and property and
serious damage to the equipment or engine.
WARNING
DO NOT place hands or fingers inside engine
compartment when engine is running.
NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or
guards removed.
Keep fi ngers, hands hair and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury.
DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the
engine is hot. High pressure boiling water
will gush out of the radiator and severely
scald any persons in the general area of
the generator.
DO NOT remove the coolant drain plug while the engine
is hot. Hot coolant will gush out of the coolant tank and
severely scald any persons in the general area of the
generator.
DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the
engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the oil tank and
severely scald any persons in the general area of the
generator.
CAUTION
NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold,
muffl er or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool
before servicing equipment.
NOTICE
NEVER run engine without an air fi lter or with a dirty air
fi lter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service air fi lter
frequently to prevent engine malfunction.
NEVER tamper with the factory settings
of the engine or engine governor. Damage
to the engine or equipment can result
if operating in speed ranges above the
maximum allowable.
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
the operating performance.
In order for a diesel engine to operate at peak effi ciency,
it must be able to provide fuel and air in the proper ratio
and at a high enough engine temperature for the engine
to completely burn all of the fuel.
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
hours to burn off the accumulated unburned fuel.
State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources
Codes specify that in certain locations, spark arresters
must be used on internal combustion engines that use
hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed
to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or fl ames
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualifi ed
and rated by the United States Forest Service for this
purpose. In order to comply with local laws regarding
spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the
local Health and Safety Administrator.
PAGE 8 — DCA20SPXU2D 60 HZ GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (03/25/11)
SAFETY INFORMATION
FUEL SAFETY
DANGER
DO NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or combustible
fl uids. Diesel fuel is extremely fl ammable and its vapors
can cause an explosion if ignited.
ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from
sparks and open fl ames.
ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with
fl ammable liquids.
DO NOT fi ll the fuel tank while the engine is running
or hot.
DO NOT overfi ll tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system.
Store fuel in appropriate containers, in well-ventilated
areas and away from sparks and fl ames.
NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
DO NOT smoke around or near the
equipment. Fire or explosion could result
from fuel vapors or if fuel is spilled on a
hot engine.

INSTALLATION
Figure 2. Typical Generator Grounding Application
PAGE 14 — DCA20SPXU2D 60 HZ GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (03/25/11)
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
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
specifi es 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 - 8 AWG (5.3 mm2)
b. Aluminum - 6 AWG (8.4 mm2).
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.
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 fi rmly on the foundation to isolate
vibration of the generator when it is running. The generator
must set at least 6 inches above the fl oor 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.
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifi es 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.
DCA20SPXU2D 60 HZ GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (03/25/11) — PAGE 15
GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERATOR
This generator (Figure 3) is 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.
CONTROL PANEL
Digital Controller (monitors the following:
• Oil Pressure
• Fuel Level
• Battery Voltage
• Water Temperature
• Output Voltage
• Amps (Load)
• Frequency (Hz)
Panel Light Panel Light Switch Control Power Switch 3-Pole, 90 amp Main Circuit Breaker “Control Box” (located behind the Control Panel)
• Engine Controller
• Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR)

• Over-Current Relay
• Starter Relay
• 3-pole, 90 amp Main Circuit Breaker
OUTPUT TERMINAL PANEL
The “Output Terminal Panel” is provided with the following:
Two 120/240V output receptacles (CS-6369), 50A Two auxiliary circuit breakers, 50A Two 120V output receptacles (GFCI), 20A Two GFCI circuit breakers, 20A Four output terminal lugs (1Ø power)
OPEN DELTA EXCITATION SYSTEM
This 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 rectifi ed 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 confi guration 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 “fi xed ceiling” and responds
according the demands of the required load.
ENGINE
This generator is powered by a 4 cylinder, water cooled,
direct injection, Isuzu Model BV-4LE2 diesel engine.
This engine is designed to meet every performance
requirement for the generator. Reference Table 2 for engine
specifi cations.
In keeping with MQ Power’s policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifi cations quoted herein are subject
to change without prior notice.
ELECTRIC GOVERNOR SYSTEM (OPTION)
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/GENERATOR OUTPUT
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 infl uenced by the effi ciency, 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.
Table 5. Power Factor By Load
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 fl uorescent 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.

MAINTENANCE
If the engine is operating in very dusty or dry grass
conditions, a clogged air cleaner will result. This can lead to
a loss of power, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion
chamber and high fuel consumption. Change air cleaner
more frequently if these conditions exists.
FUEL ADDITION
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season
and locations).
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel
tank for water contamination and drain the contents if
required.
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.
Cleaning Inside the Fuel Tank
If necessary, drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely.
Using a spray washer (Figure 35) wash out any deposits
or debris that have accumulated inside the fuel tank.
FUEL TANK INSPECTION
In addition to cleaning the fuel tank, the following
components should be inspected for wear:
Rubber Suspension — look for signs of wear or
deformity due to contact with oil. Replace the rubber
suspension if necessary.
Fuel Hoses — inspect nylon and rubber hoses for signs
of wear, deterioration and hardening.
Fuel Tank Lining — inspect the fuel tank lining for signs
of excessive amounts of oil or other foreign matter.
Replacing Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel fi lter cartridge with new one every 500
hours or so.
Loosen the drain plug at the lower top of the fuel fi lter.
Drain the fuel in the fuel body together with the mixed
water. DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.
Vent any air
AIR REMOVAL
If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine,
starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel,
or after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system
according to the following procedure. See the ISUZU Engine Manual for details.
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the switch to the ON
position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed.

Allow engine to cool when fl ushing out
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot
could cause serious burns from water or
steam.
RADIATOR CLEANING
The radiator (Figure 36) should be sprayed (cleaned) with
a high pressure washer when excessive amounts of dirt
and debris have accumulated on the cooling fi ns or tube.
When using a high pressure washer, stand at least 5 feet
(1.5 meters) away from the radiator to prevent damage to
the fi ns and tube.
Figure 36. Radiator Cleaning
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 refi ll 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.

MAINTENANCE
JACKET WATER HEATER AND INTERNAL BATTERY
CHARGER 120 VAC INPUT RECEPTACLES
(OPTIONAL)
This generator can be optionally equipped with two 120
VAC, 20 amp input receptacles located on the output
terminal panel.
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal
battery charger.
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial
power has been supplied to them (Figure 37). To apply
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of
adequate size will be required (See Table 6).
When using the generator in hot climates there is no reason
to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the
generator will be used in cold climates it is always a good
idea to apply power to the jacket water heater at all times.
To apply power to the jacket water heater simply apply
power to the jacket water heater receptacle via commercial
power using an power cord of adequate size.
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.

TRAILER MAINTENANCE
TRAILER MAINTENANCE
This section is intended to provide the user with generic
trailer service and maintenance information. The service
and maintenance guidelines referenced in this section refer
to a wide range of trailers.
Remember periodic inspection of the trailer will ensure safe
towing of the generator and will prevent personal injury and
damage to the equipment.
The definitions below describe some of the major
components of a typical trailer that would be used with
generator.
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 — Measurement is from the ball hitch
to the rear bumper (refl ector).
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 15 and Figure 40 for 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. Please note 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-fl ex, and air ride.
5. Frame Width — 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.
15. Electrical — Electrical connectors (looms) are provided
with the trailer so the brake lights and turn signals can
be connected to the towing vehicle.
16. Application — Indicates which units can be employed
on a particular trailer.
DCA20SPXU2D 60 HZ GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (03/25/11) — PAGE 37
TRAILER MAINTENANCE
BRAKES
Trailer brakes should be inspected the fi rst 200 miles of
operation. This will allow the brake shoes and drums to seat
properly. After the fi rst 200 mile interval, inspect the brakes
every 3,000 miles. If driving over rough terrain, inspect the
brakes more frequently.
Figure 38 displays the major hydraulic surge brake
components that will require inspection and maintenance.
Please inspect these components as required using steps
1 through 8 and Table 12 as listed below:
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
diffi cult to turn.
6. Adjust, 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 7 on the remaining brakes.
Hydraulic Surge Brakes
Hydraulic surge brakes (Figure 38) should not require any
special attention with the exception of routine maintenance
such as shoe and lining replacement. Brake lines should
be periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.
Figure 38. Hydraulic Brake Components
Actuator
Hydraulic surge braking requires the installation of an
actuator at the tongue of the trailer. Remember the surge or push of the trailer toward the tow vehicle automatically
synchronizes the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes.
As the trailer pushes against the tow vehicle the actuator
telescopes together and applies force to the master cylinder,
supplying hydraulic pressure to the trailer brakes.
Periodically check and test the surge “actuator” to make sure that
it is functioning correctly. Never use an undersize actuator.

TRAILER MAINTENANCE
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
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when
removing or installing force fi tted parts.
Failure to comply may result in serious
injury.
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.
Tire Wear/Infl ation
Suspension
The leaf suspension springs and associated components
(Figure 39) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles
for 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 14w.
Figure 39. Major Suspension Components
Tire infl ation 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 infl ation
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life
and tread wear.
Table 13 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.

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 (Figure 40). DO NOT torque
the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each lug nut
in 3 separate passes as defi ned by Table 15.
3. After fi rst road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.
Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.
