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
sufficient 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 turbocharges, and reduce the operating
performance.
In order for a diesel engine to operate at peak efficiency 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 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.

DCA-25USIXF/DCA-25USI2XF— 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 - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.
b.Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.
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 aminimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
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.

Two auxilliary circuit breakers, 250V @50 amps
Two 125 VAC output receptacles, (GFCI), 20 amps
Two GFCI circuit breakers, 125V@ 20amps
Five output terminal lugs (3Ø power)
Control Box
The “Control Box” is provided with the following:
Automatic Voltage Regulator
Current Transformer
Emergency Relay
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 "
the required load.
Engine
These generator’s are powered by two different types of diesel
engines depending on the model of the generator. Both engines are
4 cycle, water cooled, direct injection types. The DCA25USIXF
incorporates an ISUZU AA-4LE2 diesel engine, while the
DCA25USI2XF incorporates an ISUZU BB-4LE2 diesel engine.
These engines are designed to meet every performance requirement
for the generator. Reference Table 2 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 generator are addressed
on the following pages.
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 6 ) as a guide for selecting proper extension cable size.

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.
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.
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 gasoline.
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 30.
Replacing Oil Filter
Detach the oil filter by loosening center bolt and remove
the element together with the filter body.
Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the cartridge.
Install the filter body together with the element and fix
them by tightening the center bolt.
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 overflow tank
and drain.
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for
signs of leakage.
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.
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.
Replace with coolant (Table 12 for correct mixture).
Close radiator cap tightly.
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS
Allow engine to

For longe term storage of the generator the following is
recommended:
Fill the fuel tank completely. Treat with a fuel stabilizer
if necessary.
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if
necessary with fresh oil.
cool
when flushing out
Replacing Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 400
hours or so.
Loosen the drain plug at the lower top of the fuel filter.
Drain the fuel in the fuel body together with the mixed
water. DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.
Vent any air.

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 (see Figure 57). DO NOT
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each
lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 18.
3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.
Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.
