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.

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.

CAUTION
 Check with your local county or state safety
towing regulations, in addition to meeting
Department of Transportation (DOT) Safety Towing Regulations, before towing
your generator.
 Refer to MQ Power trailer manual for additional safety
information.
 In order 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 mechanically sound and in good operating condition.
ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting
 Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle
are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer “gross vehicle weight rating.”
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 towing vehicle and
trailer. Trailer tires should be infl ated to 50 psi cold. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.
 ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a safety
chain.
 ALWAYS properly attach trailer’s safety chains to towing
vehicle.
ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional,
backup, brake and trailer lights are connected and working properly.

• Connect and test electric brake operation.
• Secure portable power cables in cable tray with tie wraps.
 The maximum speed for highway towing is 55 MPH unless
posted otherwise. Recommended off-road towing is not to exceed 15 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.
 Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding,
or jack-knifi ng. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve towing.
 Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
 Trailer should be adjusted to a level position at all times
when towing.
 Raise and lock trailer wheel stand in up position when
towing.
 Place chock blocks underneath wheel to prevent rolling
while parked.
 Place support blocks underneath the trailer’s bumper
to prevent tipping while parked.
 Use the trailer’s swivel jack to adjust the trailer height to

INSTALLATION
Figure 2. Typical Generator Grounding Application
PAGE 14 — DCA250SSI/DCA250SSIU GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/12/11)
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.

GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
The “Generator Control Panel” is provided with the following:
 Frequency Meter (Hz)  AC Ammeter (Amps)  AC Voltmeter (Volts)  Ammeter Change-Over Switch  Voltmeter Change-Over Switch  Pilot Lamp  Panel Light/Panel Light Switch  3-Pole, 800 amp Main Circuit Breaker
 “Control Box” (located behind the Gen. Control Panel)
• Automatic Voltage Regulator
• Current Transformer
• Over-Current Relay
• Voltage Rectifi er
• Starter Relay
• Engine Control Unit (ECU)
• Voltage Change-Over Board
OUTPUT TERMINAL PANEL
The “Output Terminal Panel” is provided with the following:
 Three 120/240V output receptacles (CS-6369), 50A  Three auxiliary circuit breakers, 50A  Two 120V output receptacles (GFCI), 20A  Two GFCI circuit breakers, 20A  Eight output busbar terminal lugs (3Ø power)  Battery Charger (Optional)  Water Heater (Optional)
OPEN DELTA EXCITATION SYSTEM
These generators are equipped with the state of the art “Open-Delta” 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
Each generator is powered by a 6 cylinder, water cooled, direct injection, turbocharged air-cooled ISUZU BH6UZ1X 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
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
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. SeeTable 5 below when connecting loads.
THREE PHASE LOAD
When calculating the power requirements for 3-phase power use the following equation:
NOTICE
If 3Ø load (kVA) is not given on the equipment nameplate, approximate 3Ø load may be determined by multiplying voltage by amperage by 1.732.
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. SeeTable 6.

restriction becomes greater and the dust indicator signal shows RED meaning the element needs changing or service. After changing the air element, press the dust indicator button to reset the indicator.
PAGE 38 — DCA250SSI/DCA250SSIU GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/12/11)
Figure 58. Air Cleaner/Indicator
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
Drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely. Using a spray washer (Figure 59) 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.
Figure 59. Fuel Tank Cleaning
DCA250SSI/DCA250SSIU GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/12/11) — PAGE 39
MAINTENANCE
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the switch to the “ON” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the fuel tank is fi lled. Insuffi cient 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 27.
Replacing Oil Filter
 Remove the old oil fi lter.
 Apply a fi lm of oil to the gasket on the new oil fi lter.
 Install the new oil fi lter.
 After the oil cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil
will drop slightly. Run the engine for a while and check for leaks before adding more oil if needed. Clean excessive oil from engine.
FLUSHING OUT RADIATOR AND REPLACING COOLANT
 Open both cocks located at the crankcase side and at
the lower part of the radiator and drain coolant. Open the radiator cap while draining. Remove the overfl ow tank and drain.
RADIATOR CLEANING
The radiator (Figure 60) 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 60. 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.
 Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for
signs of leakage.
 Tighten both cocks and replace the overfl ow tank.
 Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine
manufacturer.
 Close radiator cap tightly.
 Flush the radiator by running clean tap water through
radiator until signs of rust and dirt are removed. DO NOT clean radiator core with any objects, such as a screwdriver.
 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.
JACKET WATER HEATER AND INTERNAL BATTERY
WARNING
Allow engine to cool when fl ushing out radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot could cause serious burns from water or steam.
PAGE 40 — DCA250SSI/DCA250SSIU GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/12/11)
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.
MAINTENANCE
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 61). To apply commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of adequate size will be required (Reference 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.

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 the DCA400SSI Whisperwatt™ 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. Reference Table 16 and Figure 64 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.
PAGE 42 — DCA250SSI/DCA250SSIU GENERATOR • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/12/11)
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 60 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 13 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 62) 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 62. 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 63) 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 15.
Figure 63. 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 14 (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 (Reference Figure 64).
DO NOT torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defi ned by Table 16.
3. After fi rst road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence. Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.
