KD1800/KD6 A.C. GENERATOR — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (06/16/05) — PAGE 17

Outdoor Installation

Install the generator in a location where it will not be exposed to rain or sunshine. Make sure that the welder/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, not only to the engine parts, but also to the alternator parts.

CAUTION :

Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements.

KD1800/KD6 — INSTALLATION

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.

Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas. Remember that exhaust fumes from any gasoline engine are very poisonous if discharged in a closed room, but harmless if allowed to mix with the outside air.If the generator is installed indoors, you must make provisions for venting the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.

KD1800/KD6 — PRE-SETUP (GENERATOR)

General Inspection Prior to Operation

The KD1800/KD6 utilizes a generator that 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.

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. If a building is not accessible, then the use of a ground rod is sufficient.

NOTE

Check local city codes for proper grounding requirements.

NEC articles 250-91a and 250-95 sets 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.The ground terminal on the generator should always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground.The ground ring on the generator (Figure 3) should be able to accommodate #8 size copper or aluminum wire.

3.Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug on the generator. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable building ground or ground rod.

4.NEC article 250-83c specifies that the earth ground rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.

NOTE

When connecting the generator to any buildings electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed

(Figure 4) on the dipstick. See Table 4 for proper selection of engine oil.

Fuel

Fill the fuel tank with No. 2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the tank beyond capacity. Use a strainer when pouring the fuel into the tank. This will prevent dirt and debris from entering the fuel system.

Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed on page 13, Engine

Specification Table 2.

The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling. Handle fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a spout, use a funnel.

CAUTION :

	NEVER fill the fuel tank while the engine
	is running or in the dark. Diesel fuel
	spillage on a hot engine can cause a fire
	or explosion. If diesel fuel spillage occurs,
	wipe up the spilled gasoline completely to
	prevent fire hazards.
	Coolant
	Check coolant level as described in the maintenance section of
	this manual.

KD1800/KD6 — LOAD APPLICATION

Single Phase Load

Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage and frequency 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 influenced by the efficiency, power factor and starting system of the equipment.

NOTE

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 1.0. See Table 5 below when connecting loads.

zWhen connecting ordinary power tools, a capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.8 can be used.

zWhen 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.

zWhen connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.6 can be used.

zWhen connecting an electric drill or other power tools, pay close attention to the required starting current capacity.

CAUTION:

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.

Table 5. Power Factor By Load

	Type Of Load	Power Factor
	Single-phase induction motors	0.4 - 0.75
	Electric heaters, incandescent	1.0
	lamps
	Fluorescent lamps, mecury lamps	0.4 - 0.9
	Electronic devices, communication	1.0

KD1800/KD6 — MAINTENANCE (ENGINE)

General Inspection

At least daily or prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel or oil leaks.

Engine Side:

For a more detail engine maintenance schedule refer to the

KUBOTA Engine Shop and Operator's Manual.

Air Cleaner

Every 50 hours: The air cleaner employed on the KUBOTA engine Model D905EBG is a dry type, NEVER apply oil to it.

If the generator will be 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. Service air cleaner daily.

1.Open the evacuator valve (Figure 6) once a week under ordinary conditions or daily in dusty conditions.This will eliminate large particles of dust and dirt within the air cleaner.

Figure 6. Air Cleaner

2.Wipe the inside of the air cleaner with a damp cloth and remove all dust and debris that may have accumulated inside air cleaner body.

3.Avoid touching the element except when cleaning.

4.Use compressed air to clean air filter element. Blow compressed air from the inside while turning the element. ALWAYS keep the pressure of the compressed air below

99 psi.

5.If carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak the element in detergent for 15 minutes, then wash it several times in water, rinse with clean water and let dry.

6.After the element is fully dried, inspect the inside of the element with a light, and check for damage (refer to the instructions on the label attached to the element).

7.Replace the element once a year or every six cleanings.

CAUTION:

zMake sure the wing nut for the air cleaner is tight enough. If is loose, dust and dirt may be sucked in, wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring, and thereby resulting in poor power output.

zDO NOT over service the air cleaner element. Over servicing may cause dirt to enter the engine causing premature wear. Use the dust indicator as a guide on when to service the element.

Oil Change

Every 200 hours: Change the engine oil after the first 50 hours of operation and every 200 hours thereafter. ALWAYS 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 when checking the oil level.

1.Remove the oil dipstick from its holder, wipe it clean and reinstall it.

2.Remove the oil dipstick again from its holder, and check the oil level.

3.The oil level must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Engine Oil Dipstick

PAGE 26 —KD1800/KD6 A.C. GENERATOR— PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (06/16/05)

KD1800/KD6 — MAINTENANCE (ENGINE)

4.If the engine oil level is too low, remove the engine oil filler cap Figure 9, and fill to the correct operating level.

Figure 9. Engine Oil Filler Hole

CAUTION:

zEngine oil should be MIL-L2104C or have properties of API classification

CD grades or higher.

zWhen changing the engine oil, use a oil with a viscosity appropriate for the atmospheric temperature at the site.

Use SAE-30 oil in the summer, SAE-20 in the winter, or all season SAE 10W-30 oil which offers stable viscosity at various ambient temperatures. See Table 4 .

zWhen different type oil brands are used, be sure to drain all the previous oil before adding the new engine oil.

Oil Cartridge

Every 200 hours: Replace the engine oil filter cartridge

(Figure 10) after every 200 hours of operation.

Figure 10. Oil Filter Cartridge

1.Remove the old oil filter cartridge with a filter wrench.

2.Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the new cartridge.

3.Screw the new cartridge in by hand. DO NOT use the filter wrench to tighten the new filter.

4.Run the engine for a few minutes, check for leaks. Check engine oil level, add oil if necessary.

Fuel Lines

Every 50 hours: Check the fuel lines and associated clamp bands every 50 hours of operation.

1.If the rubber fuel lines and clamp bands become worn, replace them immediately. Replace all rubber fuel lines every two years.

Replacing the Fuel Filter

Every 400 hours: Replace the fuel filter (Figure 11) every

400 hours.

Figure 11. Fuel Filter

Fuel Addition

When adding diesel fuel to the fuel tank, the grade may vary according to season and locations. Typically use No.2 diesel fuel will filling the fuel tank. Always pour through a mesh filter, this will prevent sand and dirt from entering the fuel system.

Removing Water (Condensation) from the FuelTank

After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally remove the drain cock and drain the contents. During cold weather, the more empty area inside the tank, the easier it is for water to accumulate. This can be reduced by always keeping the tank as full as possible.

NOTE

The fuel tank for this generator is contained within the trailer section of the Modular Light Tower (MLT).

KD1800/KD6 — MAINTENANCE (ENGINE)

Air Removal

If air enters the fuel 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 key switch to the “START” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.

Radiator

Check Daily: Coolant will last for one day's work if filled to the maximum level.

CAUTION:

2.Check the coolant level in the reserve tank, (Figure 13), make sure it is filled to the "FULL" marking with coolant. The coolant will last for one days work if filled to the "FULL" mark. Replenish coolant as coolant approaches

"LOW" marking on reserve tank.

3.DO NOT refill the reserve tank with coolant beyond the

"FULL" marking.

zNEVER remove the radiator cap while the coolant is hot! Let radiator cool before removing cap. Severe burns and bodily injury could result from removing the radiator cap when the radiator is hot.

zNEVER stop engine suddenly to add coolant, let engine idle for 3-5 minutes with no load.Then shut-down engine and let cool.

Checking Coolant Level

1.Remove the radiator cap (Figure 12) only after the engine has completely cooled, and check to see that the coolant reaches the supply port.

Figure 13. Reserve Tank

Adding Coolant/Anti-freeze

Day-to-day addition of coolant or antifreeze is done via the reserve tank. See Table 6 for engine/radiator and reserve tank coolant capacities and Table 7 for coolant operating temperatures. Make sure that the coolant level in the reserve tank is always between the "FULL" and the "LOW" markings.

Anti-freeze Recommendations

zUse rubber gloves when handling anti-freeze.

zWhen anti-freeze comes in contact with the skin or clothing, wash it off immediately.

zDO NOT mix different types of anti-freeze.

zKeep fire, children and animals away from anti-freeze.

zCheck with local safety codes on the proper disposal techniques of anti-freeze.

NOTE

When the anti-freeze is mixed with water, the anti-freeze mixing ratio must be less than 50%.

The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.

Check to see whether the battery cables are loose. Poor contact may result in poor starting or malfunctions, always keep the terminals firmly tightened. Coating the terminals with a thin film of grease will help to inhibit corrosion.

The battery gradually deteriorates over time. The actual life span will vary according to operating conditions, but generally a battery two years or older should be replaced.

1.Make sure each electrolyte level (Figure 14) is to the bottom of the vent well. If necessary add distilled water in a well-ventilated area.

Battery

CAUTION:

zALWAYS follow safety rules when handling the battery.NEVER charge the battery in a flammable environment.

ALWAYS keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all the times.

zNEVER let the battery's electrolyte contact your body or clothing. ALWAYS wear gloves when handling the battery.

zALWAYS wear eye protection and rubber gloves when handling the battery. Remember the diluted sulfuric acid solution within the battery burns skin and eats holes in clothing.

zIf any part of your body comes in contact with the sulfuric acid of the battery, immediately wash it off with running water and get medical attention.

This unit is of negative ground. DO NOT connect in reverse.

Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level is not properly maintained. Add only distilled water when replenishment is necessary.

Figure 14. Battery Electrolyte

Level

Direction For LongTerm Storage (Battery)

1.Remove the battery from the generator. Adjust the electrolyte to the correct level, and store in a dry and dark place.

2.Recharge battery once a month in summer, and every two months in winter.

KD1800/KD6 A.C. GENERATOR — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #1 (06/16/05) — PAGE 29

KD1800/KD6 — MAINTENANCE (GENERATOR)

Generator Capacitor Regulation

A single capacitor is used to regulate the voltage to within 5% of the rated load.

zALWAYS USE EXTREME CAUTION when handling capacitors.The capacitor will still contain a high voltage even after the engine has been shut-down.

zALWAYS discharge the capacitor before handling. Use a conductor or a screwdriver (Figure 15) with an insulated handle. Place screwdriver across both capacitor terminals while holding onto the handle. This will short out the voltage and discharge the capacitor.

Figure 15. Discharging Capacitor

Checking the Charge of the Capacitor

1.Use an "OHMMETER" to check the charge and discharge of the capacitor. Set the ohmmeter to the

RX-1000 scale.

2.Place the ohmmeter leads on the capacitor terminals one at a time. A meter deflection should be seen (charging), followed by a slow return to infinity (discharging).

3.Reverse the ohmmeter leads and repeat the procedure. The results should be the same. Replace the capacitor if no meter deflection or continuity has been indicated by the ohmmeter.

Flashing Rotor Procedure

NOTE

DO NOT run the generator during this procedure.

1.Disconnect all incoming power leads to the generator.

2.Connect the (+) lead of a 12 volt battery to the "R" connection (Figure 16).

Figure 16. Flashing The Rotor Configuration

3.Connect the (-) lead of the battery to the rotor shaft.

4.Re-connect all incoming power leads to the generator

5.Start the generator as outlined in the "Operating Section" of this manual.

6.With a voltmeter check the no load voltage at the 120/

240 output connector located on the control box.

7.The no load should be within 10% of the rated load.

8.If residual voltage is normal, the capacitor is defective and should be replaced.

Diode Check

1.Check the diode individually by removing the (+) rotor lead stud connection (Figure 16). The diode is good if the resistance reading is approximately mid -scale on the lowest ohm scale.

2.Check for leakage in the diode by reversing the polarity.

The diode is good if the resistance reading is infinite.

3.A faulty diode will give a resistance value of zero.
