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 tr ailer’s brakes
are actuated
!
Brake system can provide an independent emergency
brake system
In order to properly synchronize the towing vehicle’s braking
to the trailer’s braking system, 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 scre wdriver 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 bra kes can be adjusted
in the same manner as electric brakes. Brake lines should
be periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.
Figure 3 below displays the major hydraulic/air/surge brake
components that will require inspection and maintenance.
Inspect these components as required using steps 1 through

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.
Tire Wear/Inflation
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.
Pressure should be checked cold bef ore operation DO NO T
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.
Suspension
The leaf suspension springs and associated components
(Figure 4) 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 . T orqued suspension components

Engine
The DCA-220SSK is powered by a 4 cycle, water cooled,
diesel
turbocharged K OMA TSU Model SA6D125E-2
This engine is designed to meet every performance
requirement for the generator. Reference Table 1, page 16
for engine specifications.
In keeping with Multiquip's policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
The basic controls and indicators for the DCA-220SSK
generator are addressed on the following pages.
Electronic Governor System
The electronic governor system replaces the standard
mechanical governor system. The frequency regulation
improves from ±3.0% regulation with the mechanical governor
to ±0.25% regulation with the electronic governor system.
Jacket Water Heater
The jacket water heater is a 1500-watt heater designed to
keep the coolant warm in the engine block for fast starts
and load acceptance. The heater is thermostatically
controlled and once an acceptable engine temperature is
achieved it will cycle on and off, operating only about 1/3 of
the time, which makes it more efficient than the direct block
type heater. It is designed to keep the engine coolant
between 100 and 120 degrees F ahrenheit.

DCA-220SSK — WATER SEP ARATOR FILTER (OPTIONAL)
Table of Contents
Water Separator Filter
The DCA-220SSK generator may be equipped with a “Water
Fuel Separator". This unit is designed to prevent dirt, rust,
algae, varnishes and water from entering the fuel system.
This water separator system is designed around two filters
connected in parallel (Figure 6). These two filters can be
configured in a variety of ways to filter water from the fuel
system.
For best results it is best to have both filters active (ON) at
the same time or use only one filter, and use the other filter
as a reserve, that way you can use the filters alternately
every time the filter element is replaced.
CAUTION
:
DO NOT turn the control valve while the
generator is in operation. This ma y stop fuel
flow to the generator if both filters are set to
the OFF position.
Figure 6. Water Separator Filter
Collection Bowl W ater Draina ge
Inspect or drain the water in the collection bowl daily. The
collection bowl must be drained before contaminants reach
the bottom of the turbine.
To drain the collection bowl perform the following:
1.Open the self-venting drain to evacuate contaminants
with a suitable collection container in place.
2.Prime the unit by removing the filter lid and filling with
clean fuel.
3.Replace the filter lid and snugly tighten the T-handle by
hand only.

DCA-220SSK — INSTALLA TION
Table of Contents
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 it cannot slide or shift around. Also install
the generator so 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 parts and alternator .
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 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.
:
An electric shock may 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.
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.
a.Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger .
b .Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger .
2.When grounding the generator (Figure 39) 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 ar ticle 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground
rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
When connecting the generator to any buildings
electrical system AL WAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.

Table of Contents
General Inspection Prior to Operation
The DCA-220SSK generator has been thoroughly inspected
and accepted prior to shipment from the factory. However,
be sure to check for damaged parts or components, or loose
nuts and bolts, which could have occurred in transit.
Extension Cable
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 Cable Selection Guide (Table 10 ) as
a guide for selecting proper cable size.
Circuit Breakers
To protect the generator from an overload, a 3-pole, 600 amp ,
main
circuit breaker is provided to protect the UVW output
terminals from overload. In addition two single-pole, 20 amp
GFCI
circuit breakers are provided to protect the GFCI
receptacles from overload. Three 50 amp
have also been provided to protect the load side of the

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. Tr y 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.

10. When the water level is near the mouth of the water
filler, open drain plugs and star t 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 car tridge 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 cartr idge 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
