Towing & Transporting Safety
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 safety precautions should be followed
when towing your generator:
CAUTION - FOLLOW TOWING REGULATIONS
Check with your local county or state safety towing
regulations, in addition to meeting
Transportation
towing your generator.
■
ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.
■
Tighten both fuel tank caps securely.
■
If generator is mounted on a trailer, make sure trailer
complies with all local and state safety transportation
laws. Follow the listed
guidelines for basic towing techniques.
■
Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle
are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle
weight rating.”

DCA-220SSJ/SSJU — GENERATOR DECALS
The DCA-220SSJ/SSJU generator is equipped with a number of safety decals (Figures 2 & 3). These decals are provided
for operator safety and maintenance information. The illustration below and on the preceding page show the decals as
they appear on the machine. Should any of these decals become unreadable, replacements can be obtained from your
dealer.

Figure 4. Typical Generator Grounding Application
PAGE 16 — DCA-220SSJ/SSJU — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (02/04/14)
DCA-220SSJ/SSJU — 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 - EXHAUST HAZARD
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.
Indoor Installation
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 - 8 AWG (5.3 mm
b.Aluminum - 6 AWG (8.4 mm2)
2.When grounding the generator (Figure 4) 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 a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
2
)
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.
NOTICE
When connecting the generator to any buildings
electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.

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

to 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

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.

3.Right Arrow Button – Press this button to scroll through
the screen either moving the parameter selection toward
the right or downward.
4.Enter Key Button – Press this button to select the
parameter that is highlighted on the screen.
5.Emergency Stop LED – When lit (RED) indicates a
major fault has occured. This condition will shudown
the generator.
6.Warning LED – When lit (AMBER), indicates a engine
parameter has exceeded its limits (minor fault). The
generator will still run in this condition.
Figure 6. Diagnostic Display Panel
The diagnostic display panel located inside the control box
onthe generator (Figure 6) is designed to meet the needs
for instrumentation and control of electronically controlled
engine communication using the SAEJ1939 Controller Area
Network (CAN). This diagnostic display is a multifunction
tool that enables equipment operators to view many different
engine parameters and service codes.
The keypad on the diagnostic display panel is a capacitive
touch sensing system. There are no mechanical switches to
wear or stick. This keypad (display unit) will operate in
extreme hot or cold weather conditions.
Other components in the system are microprocessor-based
components for displaying critical engine data broadcast by
an electronic engine or transmission’s Engine Control Unit
(ECU): engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature,
system voltage, etc., and a combination audible alarm and
relay unit for warning and shutdown annunciation.
The Engine Control Unit (ECU) used with this generator
diagnosis engine faults that arise with the the engine control
system and the engine itself. Engine faults can be determined
by viewing the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Active Fault Codes)
which are displayed on the Diagnostic Display Panel. See
the John Deere Engine Operator’s Manual for a complete
listing of active fault codes and countermeasures.
The following definitions describe the controls and functions
of the
Diagnostic Display Panel
(Figure 6).
7.Display Screen – Graphical backlight LCD screen. Back
lighting is controlled via menu or external dimmer
potentiometer. The display can show either a single
parameter or a quadrant display showing four parameters
simultaneously.
8.Diagnostic Switch – When placed in the ON position,
will activate the diagnostic display panel.
9.CAN Diagnostic Connector – Controller Area Network
connector. This connector outputs diagnostic error
codes. Connect a scanner or similar device into this
connector to read error codes.
