DCA-10SPX3 — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES
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 before operation DO NOT
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 2) 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 3.
CAUTION:
NOTE
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing
or installing force fitted parts. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.

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 cause excessive wear, to the engine parts and
the 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.
CAUTION :
Generator Grounding
To prevent 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 mm
b.Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.
An electric shock is apt to happen when
vibrators are used. Pay close attention
to handling when operating vibrators and
always use rubber boots and gloves to
protect 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 overheat.
Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Remember that exhaust fumes from any diesel 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 from venting
the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.
DO NOT cover ventilation areas on the enclosure. Covering
the ventilation grids will cause the engine to overheat.
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.

DCA-10SPX3 — MAINTENANCE
General Inspection
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,
oil, and coolant leaks.
Engine Side (Refer to the Engine Instruction Manual)
Air Cleaner
Every 50 hours: Remove air cleaner element and clean heavy
duty paper element with kerosene, or foam element with
liquid detergent and hot water. Wrap foam element in a cloth
and squeeze dry. For heavy duty paper element, wipe
excess kerosene with towel.
Fuel Addition
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season
and locations). Always pour through the mesh filter.
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank
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 volume inside the tank, the easier it is for water to
condense. This can be reduced by keeping the tank full as
much as possible.
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.
Service Daily
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 in high fuel consumption.
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 8, page 29.
Replacing Oil Filter
Detach the oil filter cartridge with a filter wrench.
Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the cartridge.
Screw in the cartridge by hand. When the gasket is in
contact with the seal surface, tighten the cartridge one
or two more times by hand.
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.
Replacing Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 400
hours or so.
Apply fuel oil thinly over the gasket and hand-tighten
the cartridge into position.
Vent any air.
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. DONOT clean radiator core with any objects, such as a
screwdriver.
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.
Replace with coolant (see page 30, Table 5 for mixture).
Close radiator cap tightly.
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.
