DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
An ONAN DDB series electric generating set is a
complete unit consisting of' an -engine driven AC
generator, with controls and accessories as ordered.
ENGINE
The engine on the DDB is a John Deere 6329D as
described in engine manual. Basic measurements
and requirements will be found under Specifications.
However, the engine used for your unit may have
variations due to optional equipment available,
therefore the John Deere manual should be
sulted.
AC
GENERATOR
The generator is an ONAN Type UR, 12
revolving
alternating current is generated in the statorwinding.
The alternator rotor, attached directly to the engine
flywheel turns at engine speed. Therefore, the speed
at which the rotor turns, determines generatoroutput
frequency. The 60 hertz set operates at 1800 rpm and
the 50 hertz at 1500 rpm. Excitation is achieved by
feeding AC output to a voltage regulator, where it is
compared with a reference voltage in the regulator,
rectified and returned to the field of the exciter, then
to the exciter armature, rectified and fed to the
generator

INSTALLATION
GENERAL
Installations must be considered individually. Use
these instructions as a general guide. Meet
regulations of local building codes, fire ordinances,
etc., which may affect installation details. See Figure
3.
Installation points to consider include:
1.
Level mounting surface.
2.
Adequate cooling air.
3. Adequate fresh induction air.
4.
Discharge of circulated air.
5. Discharge of exhaust gases.
6. Electrical connections.
7. Fuel connections.
8. Water connections.
9. Accessibility for operation and servicing.
10.
Vibration isolation.
11.
Noise levels.
Radiator set cooling air travels from the rearof theset
to the front end. Locatethe room or compartment air
inlet where most convenient, preferably to the rear of
the set. Make the inlet opening at least as large as the
radiator area (preferably 1-1/2 times larger).
Engine heat is removed by a pusher fan which blows
cooling air out through the front of the radiator.
Locate the cooling air outlet directly in front of the
radiator and as close as practical. The opening size
should be at least as large as the radiator
and shape of the air outlet duct should offer minimum
restriction to air flow. Use a duct of canvas or sheet
metal between the radiator and the airoutlet opening.
The duct prevents recirculation of heated air.
Provide a means of restricting the air flow in cold
weather to keep the room or compartment
temperature at a normal point.

mobile applications, bolt securely in place. Extra
support for the vehicle flooring may be necessary.

VENTILATION
Generating sets create considerable heat which must
be removed by proper ventilation. Outdoor installations rely on natural air circulation but mobile
and indoor installations need properly sized and
positioned vents for the required air flow. See
Specifications for the air required to operate with rated
load under normal conditions at 1800 rpm.
A shelter housing with electrically operated louvres is
available as an option. Transformers connected
across the generator output supply current to the
motors.
When the generator is operating, current in the
transformers actuate the motors and open the
louvres. The louvres are held open for the duration of
the set operation, then are closed by return springs
when the set is shut down.
City water cooled sets do not use the conventional
radiator. A constantly changing water flow cools the
engine. Ventilation isseldom a problem, butsufficient
air movement and fresh air must be available to
properly cool the generator, disperse heat convected
off the engine and support combustion in the engine.
For small compartments, a duct of equal or larger area
than generator outlet is recommended to remove the
heated air from the generator air outlet to the outside
atmosphere. Limit bends and use radius type elbows
where needed. A larger, well ventilated compartment
or room does not require a hot air duct.
Installations made in a small room may require
installation of an auxiliary fan (connected to operate
only when the plant is running) of sufficient size to
assure proper air circulation.

CITY
WATER
COOLING
An optional method of engine cooling, in place of the
conventional radiator and fan, uses a constant
pressure water supply. This is referred to as CITY
WATER COOLING. There are two varieties of city
water cooling: the HEAT EXCHANGER SYSTEM and
STANDPIPE SYSTEM. See Figures 4 and 5.

The HEAT EXCHANGER provides fora closed engine
cooling system. Engine coolant flows through a tubed
chamber, keeping the coolant separate from the cool
"raw" water supply. The coolant chamber must be
filled for operation, as for a radiator cooled set.
The STANDPIPE SYSTEM uses a mixing or tempering tank. Cooling water that circulates through the
engine mixes with a source of cool "raw" water. The
"raw" water supply must be free of scale forming lime
or other impurities.
On both systems use flexible pipe .for connecting
water supply and outlet flow pipes to engine. Pipe the
outlet flow to a convenient drain. Install an electric
solenoid valve and a rate of flow valve in the water
supply line. The electric solenoid valve opens and
allows water flow through the system only when the
plant operates. The rate of flow valve, either
automatic or manual, provides for the proper flow rate
to the engine. Adjust the flow to maintain water
temperature between 165 degrees and 195 degrees
while viewing the water temperature gauge.
Before filling cooling system checlc all hardware for security. This
includes hose clamps, capscrews, fittings and connections. Use
flexible coolant lines wilh heat exchanger, standpipe or remote
mounting radiator.

(Optional)
This heater is installed to maintain an elevated engine

applications. It heats and circulates engine coolant,
and is thermostatically controlled (Figure 19).

EXHAUST
WARNING
Engine exhaust gas must bepiped outside building or
enclosure. Do not terminate exhaust pipe near inlet
vents or combustible materials. An approved thimble
(Figure 6) must be used where exhaust pipes pass
through walls or partitions. Pitch exhaust pipes
downward or install a condensation trap (Figure 7) at
the point where a rise in the exhaust system begins.
Avoid sharp bends; use sweeping long radius elbows.
Provide adequate support for mufflers and exhaust
pipes.
Refer to Figure 3 for a typical exhaust installa-
tion.
Shield or insulate exhaust lines if there is danger
of personal contact. Allow at least 9-inches of
clearance if the pipes run close to a combustible wall
or partition. Use a pipe at least as large as the 3-inch
pipe size outlet df the engine with a flexible portion

Generator set installations may be equipped with an
optional integral fuel Day tank. A float operated valve
controls fuel flow of up to 300 psi into the fuel tank.
The correct level is maintained to assure a constant

It is necessary to install an overflow
line between the Day tank and the main fuel tank.
Refer to the installations included with the tank. See
Figure 8 for an example of a Day tank installation.
BATTERY
Starting the plant requires 12-volt battery current.
Use two 6-volt (see specification) batteries for a
normal installation. Connect the batteries in series
(negative post of first battery to positive post of
second) as in Figure 9. Necessary battery cables are
on unit. Service the batteries as necessary. Infrequent
plant use (as in emergency standby service) may
allow the batteries to self-discharge to the point
where they cannot start the plant. If installing an
automatic transfer switch that has no built-in charge
circuit, connect a separate trickle charger. Onan
automatic transfer switches include such a battery
charging circuit.
WARNING

HOT LOCATION
Batteries will self discharge very quickly when installed where the ambient temperature is consistently
above 90°F, such as in a boiler room. To lenghten
battery life, dilute the electrolyte from its normal 1.275
specific gravity reading at full charge to a 1.225
reading.
The cranking power is reduced slightly when
the electrolyte is so diluted, but if the temperature is
above 90° F, this should not be noticed. The lengthened battery life will be worth the effort.

OPERATION
GENERAL
ONAN DDB Series electric generating sets are given a
complete running test under various load conditions
and are thoroughly checked before leaving the factory. Inspect your unit closely for loose or missing
parts and damage which may have occurred in transit.
Tighten loose parts, replace missing parts and repair
any damage before putting set into operation.
PRESTART
Lubrication System: Engine oil was drained prior to
shipment. Fill engine to capacities shown. After
engine has been run, check dipstick, add oil to bring
level to full mark. Record total capacity for future oil
changes. Do not mix brands or grades of lubricating
oils.

Overheating and damage to the engine could result from
compliance.
2.
If engine is equipped with a cooling system filter, do not use
antifreeze with an anti-leak formula. The stop leak element can
prevent or retard the coolant flow through the filter, thereby
eliminating the filtering process completely.
3. Be careful when checking coolantunderpressure. Itis advisable
to shut engine down and bleed off pressure before removing
pressure cap. Severe burns could result from contact with hot
coolant.
1. Verify that the electric solenoid valve used
with city water cooled plants is open before
fill.

Fuel System: Refer to the John Deere engine manual
for fuel oil specifications. Check with fuel supplier
and ensure that fuel supplied meets the
specifications. Filter or strain fuel when filling tank.
Fuel supply tanks should be kept as nearly full as
possible by topping up each time engine is used.
Warm fuel returning from the injector pump heats the
fuel in the supply tank. If the fuel level is low in cold
weather, the upper portion of the tank not heated by
returning fuel tends to increase condensation. In
warm weather both the supply tank and fuel are warm.
Cool nightairlowersthetemperatureof thetank more
rapidly than the temperature of the
fuel.
Again this
tends to increase condensation.
Condensate mixing with the sulphur in the fuel forms
a sulphurous acid which will corrode and damage the
engine. KEEP FUEL CLEAN.
Oil capacities (nominal)
Oil Pan and Filter — 12 quarts
Cooling System: Cooling system was drained priorto
shipment. Fill cooling system before starting.
Nominal capacity is 5 gallons. For units using eithera
radiator or heat exchanger (city water cooled), fill the
system with clean soft water. Use a good rust and
scale inhibitor additive. If a possibility exists of a
radiator cooled set being exposed to freezing
temperatures use anti-freeze with an ethylene-glycol
base.
During initial engine run, check the coolant
level several times and replenish if necessary to
compensate for air pockets which may have formed
during filling. Refer to John Deere engine manual for
additional information.

Priming Fuel System: Verify that all connections in
the fuel system are secure and no leaks exist. Proceed
with priming as follows:
1.
Loosen bleed plug on top of fuel filter. Pump
primer lever (Figure 18) until a solid stream of
fuel,
free of air bubbles, flows from bleed plug.
2.
Secure bleed plug.
3. Loosen inlet fuel line on injector pump. Operate
primer lever on fuel transfer pump until a solid

After running 10 minutes under load the water
temperature gauge should have stabilized at 180° to
195° F. On city watercooled units an adjustable valve
is connected in the water supply line. Adjust the hand
wheel valve to provide a water flow that will keep the
water temperatu re gauge reading within the range of
180oF to 220° F.

Check all connections in fuel system for security, to
ensure that pressure will not bleed off when engine is
not in use. Pressure should be maintained for immediate starting if unit is on standby service.
BATTERIES
Ensure that the cable connections to the batteries are
secure. Coat connections with petroleum based or
non-conductive grease to retard formation of corrosive deposits.
Check level of electrolyte to be at split ring mark.
Measure specific gravity of electrolyte: SG 1.280 at
80° F. If distilled water has been added or specific
gravity is less than
1.280,
place batteries on charge
until desired reading is reached. Do not over charge.
STARTING
When the preceding service functions have been
performed,
1.
Crankcase filled.
2.
Cooling system filled — input solenoid valve
open.
3. Batteries charged and connected.
4.
Fuel solenoid valve open.
To start, move the "run-stop/reset-remote" switch to
the "run" position. The engine should start afterafew
seconds of cranking. Immediately after start, observe
the oil pressure gauge. Normal oil pressure is
between 45 and 65 psi. Check the following gauges:
1.
DC Ammeter — 10 to 30 amperes.
2.
AC Voltmeter — AC generator output voltage.
3. Frequency Meter — AC generator output frequency.
recheck to verify unit is ready to start.
STOPPING "
To reduce and stabilize engine temperatures, run the
engine at no.:load for three to five minutes before
shutting down..
Move the run-stop/reset-remote switch to stop
tion to shut down the set.
Break-In Note: Run set at 50 percent rated load forthe
first half-hour of initial operation after reaching
operating temperature.
Non-Start: If after a few seconds of cranking engine
fails to start, or starts and runs then stops and fault
lamp lights, refer to appropriate troubleshooting
chart, Table 3 or Table 4.
EXERCISE
PERIOD
Generating sets on continuous standby service are
required to be operative at full load from a cold start in
less than 10-seconds in the event of a power outage.
This imposes severe conditions on the engine. Friction of dry piston rings upon dry cylinderwalls causes
scuffing and rapid wearing. These can be relieved by
exercising the set at least once a week for a minimum
time of 30-minutes per exercise period. Preferably,
run the set under at least 50 percent load to allow the
engine to reach normal operating temperature. This
will keep engine parts lubricated, maintain fuel prime,
prevent electrical relay contacts from oxidizing and
insure easy emergency starts. ONAN automatic
transfer switches contain an optional exercise switch
which,
by pre-selection, will start, determine run
period and shut down a set on a weekly frequency.
For example, the switch can be set for time of start,
length of run, A.M. or P.M. and day of week.
After each exercise period, top up fuel tank, check
engine for leaks and unit for general condition.
Locate cause of leaks (if any) and correct.

PROTECTION
Protect a set that will be out-of-service for more than
30 days as follows:
1.
Run set until thoroughly warm.
2.
Drain oil from oil base while still warm. Refill and
attach a warning tag stating oil viscosity used.

SPEED
Generatorfrequency is in direct ratio to enginespeed,
which is controlled by the Governor.
A Roosa-Master governor is standard equipment on
the DDB generator set. High speed and low speed
limit stops are set at the ONAN testing facility and
normally do not require further adjustment, therefore
if your set is used on continuous standby service, the
governor may never need to be touched. If however
the unit is used frequently, adjustment may be
required due to wear of internal components. This
adjustment is achieved by backing off the high speed
stop screw. Screw in the low speed adjusting screw
until the generator output frequency meter reads 60
Hz (generator on load). Turn in the high speed
adjusting screw until it bottoms; secure the locknuts.
AC
GENERATOR
There are no brushes, brush springs or collector rings
on these generators, therefore they require very little
servicing.
Periodic inspections, to coincide with
engine oil changes, will ensure good performance.
Generator Bearing: Inspect the bearing every 1000
hours with the unit running.
If using the unit for "prime power", replace the
bearing every 10,000 hours or two years. If using the
set for "standby", replace the bearing every five years.
Check generator voltage. It may be necessary to
make a slight readjustment of the voltage rheostat to
obtain the preferred voltage at average
load.
IDLE ADJUSTING
SCREW
B248-I
FIGURE 20. ROOSA-MASTER GOVERNOR
INJECTION PUMP
HIGH SPEED
ADJUSTING SCREW
SENSITIVITY
(DROOP)
ADJUSTMENT
Governor sensitivity is adjusted by rotating an exter-
nal knurled knob at the rear of the injector pump
housing.
Turning inward (clockwise) shortens gover-
nor control spring making it less sensitive, thereby
increasing speed droop. Turning outward (counterclockwise) has opposite effect. Adjustment can be
made with engine running. The speed droop is set at
the ONAN plant to give a regulation of 3 percent to 5
percent from no-load to full-load.
When using the generatorfrequency meter to deter-
mine engine speed, multiply frequency by 30 to
calculate engine speed.
Example: 30 x 61 (Hz) = 1830 rpm.
INSPECTION
AND
CLEANING
When inspecting the rotating rectifier assembly,
make sure diodes are free of dust, dirt and grease.
Excessive foreign matter on these diodes and heat
sinks will cause the diodes to overheat and will result
in their failure. Blow out the assembly periodically,
with filtered, low pressure air. Also check to see that
diodes and leadwires are properly torqued. The
diodes should be torqued to 30 in. Ib. or finger tight
plus a quarter
turn.
Blow dust out of control panel.
BATTERIES
Check the condition of the starting batteries at least
every two weeks. See that connections are clean and
tight. A light coating of non-conductive grease will
retard corrosion at terminals. Keep electrolyte at the
proper level above the plates by adding distilled
water. Check specific gravity, recharge if below

Check all fuel and oil lines for possible leakage.
2.
Inspect exhaust lines and mufflers for possible
leakage and cracks.
