The customary unit of Brake Horsepower (BHP) becomes kilowatts (kW) when
converted to SI metric units. This kW rating should not be confused with the kW
rating of the generator which will always be lower due to losses inherent with any
electrical induction device.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL
Installations must be considered individually. Use
these instructions as a general guide. All installations
must meet regulations of state and local building
codes, fire ordinances, etc., which may affect installation details. See Figures 7 and 8. Refer to ONAN
Technical Bulletin T-030 for further installation infor-
mation.
Requirements to be considered prior to installation:
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 installation.
8. Water supply (city water cooling).
9. Accessibility for operation and servicing.
10.
Vibration isolation.
11.
Noise levels.
VENTILATION
Generator sets create considerable heat which must
be removed by proper ventilation. Outdoor installations rely on natural air circulation but 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 r/min.
Radiator set cooling air travels from the rearof theset
and is removed by a pusher fan which blows out
through the radiator. Locate the air inlet to the rear of
the set.
Locate the cooling air outlet directly in front of the
radiator and as close as possible. The opening free
area must be at least as large as the radiator area.
Length 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 air outlet
opening.

MOUNTING
Generator sets are mounted on a rigid skid base
which provides proper support. The enginegenerator assembly is isolated from the skid base by
rubber mounts which provide adequate vibration
isolation for normal installations. For installations
where vibration control is critical, install additional
spring-type isolators between skid base and foundation.
For convenience in general servicing and changing

For operation outside a building, a shelter housing
with electrically operated louvres is available as an
option.
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. Sufficient air movement and fresh air must be
available to properly cool the generator, disperse heat
convected off the engine and support combustion in
theengine. • • • - "v.- •
Installations require an auxiliary fan (connected to
operate only when the unit is running) of sufficient
size to assure proper aircirculation and evacuation of
fumes.

COOLING
SYSTEM
Standard Radiator Cooling, uses a set mounted
radiator and engine driven pusher type fan to cool
engine water jacket. Air travels from the generator
end of the set, across the engine and out through the
radiator. An integral discharge duct adapter flange
surrounds the radiator grille.
Heat Exchanger Cooling (optional), uses a shell and
tube type heat exchanger instead of the standard
radiator and fan. Engine jacket coolant circulates
through the shell side of the heat exchanger, while
raw cooling water is pumped through the tubes.
Engine coolant and raw water do not mix. This type of
cooling separation is necessary when the raw water
contains scale forming lime, or other impurities.
This system reduces set enclosure airflow requirements and noise levels. Proper operation
depends upon a constant supply of raw waterfor heat
removal.
The engine coolant side of the system may
be protected from freezing; the raw waterside cannot.
See Figure 9 for typical installation.

This system reduces set enclosure airflow re-
quirements and noise levels. Proper operation is

Standpipe Cooling (optional) substitutes a mixing
(tempering) tank for the standard radiator and fan.
Cooling water circulating through theenginejacket is
mixed with raw water in the tank. Because raw water
flows through the engine jacket, it must not contain
scale forming impurities or fouling of the engine
water passages will occur. Fouling results in engine
overheating and costly repair bills.

SYSTEM
Remote Radiator Cooling (optional), substitutes a
remote mounted radiator and an electrically driven
fan,
for the set mounted components. Removal of the
radiator and fan from the set reduces set enclosure
airflow requirements and noise levels without forcing
dependence on a continuous cooling water supply.
The remote radiator system can be completely
protected against freezing.
This system must be designed to meet specific
requirements of the application.
Water Jacket Heater, (optional) may be installed to
keep engine coolant warm while engine is shut down.
It heats and circulates the coolant within the engine,
which reduces start-up time and engine wear caused
by cold starts. It is electrically operated and thermostatically controlled.

Flow Installation
With this system, a city or raw water cooling supply
under pressure forces water directly into the engine,
through the engine and to the outlet. An adjustable
valve controls the incoming water flow rate to obtain
correct engine water temperature, as measured at
engine coolant water outlet while the generator set is
operating under full
load.
A solenoid valve is coordinated with the generatorset system to open during
set operation.
CAUTION
and seals will leak.
Restrict inlet water pressure to a maximum of
7 psi or 48.3 kPa, otherwise engine gaskets
Raw water cooling is often undesirable because:
1.
The water supply must be very clean or engine
deposits will result.
2.
A high temperature differential between the cold
incoming water into the engine and warm dis-
charged water can put damaging stresses on
engine components (no overall uniform engine
temperature).
COOLING
CONNECTIONS
The radiator cooled (standard) set does not require
any external connections except as discussed under
Ventilation. Allow clearance around the set for access
to service the radiator and fan belts. See Figure 7.
Heat Exchanger and Standpipe cooled sets must be
connected to a pressurized supply of cold water.
Make connections to the set with flexible pipe to
absorb vibration. On the cool water line install a
solenoid valve to shut off the flow when the set is shut
down and a rate of flow valve to control engine
temperature. This valve can be either manual or
automatic. Actual rate of flow will depend on inlet
water temperature and applied
load.
Adjust the flow to maintain water temperature
between 1650Fand 195° F (73.9° C and 90.6° C) while
viewing the water temperature gauge.
Before filling cooling system check all hardware for security. This
includes hose clamps, capscrews, fittings and connections. Use
flexible coolant lines with heat exchanger, standpipe or remote
mounting radiator.
Remote radiator plumbing will vary with installation.
All systems must comply with the following
conditions—
1.
Make all connections to the set and to the radiator
with flexible pipe.
2.
Install an auxiliary circulating pump if the
horizontal distance between the engine and
pump exceeds 15-feet (4.65 m).
3. Install a hot-well system to relieve excess engine
water jacket pressure if the top of the radiator is
more than 15-feet (4.65 m) above the center-line
of the engine crankshaft.

FUEL
SYSTEM
Ford engines used on EK/EM sets are designed to
operate on gasoline (average regular grade of 93
octane),
natural gas with thermal rating of 1000
BTU/ft3 (37.25 MJ/m3) or liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) Propane at 2500 BTU/ft3 (93.13 MJ/m3).
FUEL
CONNECTIONS
Before starting any type of fuel installation, ONAN
recommends that the regulations described in
Pamphlet 58 of the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) be studied. All pertinent state and local
codes, most of which are governed by NFPA 58, must
be complied
with,
and the installation must be
inspected before the unit is put in service.
Fuels under pressure (e.g. natural gas or LPG) must
be controlled by a positive shut off valve, preferably
automatic, in addition to any valve integral with the
carburetor or gas regulator equipment.
Connection of gasoline fuel inlet line requires a 1/8inch pipe fitting to an adapter on skid base.
Lift to fuel pump should not exceed 6 feet (2 m),
horizontal distance between set and fuel tank should
not exceed 50 feet (15 m). Use 3/8-inch tubing up to
25 feet (12.5 m),
1/2-inch
up to 50 feet (15 m).
Optional Day Tank: The engine may be equipped with
a one quart reservoir tank to replenish fuel lost from
the carburetor by evaporation during shutdown. See
Figure 13. Connect a 5/16-inch return line between
the reservoir upper side fitting (this fitting has a
restricted orifice and must be used) and the main
supply tank. Be sure the return line has a continuous
drop to the main supply tank with no dip-and-nse
where fuel could collect and form a vent
seal.
Seethat
the top center opening of the tank is tightly plugged.
Natural or Manufactured Gas: On sets equipped with
an Impco carburetor, gas pressure atthe carburetor
must be set at 3-ounces (1.3 kPa) gauge, or 5-inch
(127 mm) water column, manometer, with the engine
running at 1800
Thermae regulator is designed for a maximum line pressure of 6ounces(2.6 kPa) gauge, or 10.38-inches (263.6 mm) water column,
manometer.
r/min
on no
load.
If line pressure is excessive, install asuitable pressure
reducing regulator. Be sure to comply with all local
regulations such as:
• Recommended electric shutoff valve.
• Hand shutoff valve at the fuel source.
• Supply line filter.
Use a short length of approved flexible connection
between the supply pipe and the set regulator inlet.
Combination Gas-Gasoline: Combination gas-
gasoline sets are designed for normal operation on
gas
fuel,
with provision for emergency operation on
gasoline. Both gas and gaso procedures must be
followed.
A reservoir tank is sometimes provided, so a
fuel return line may be necessary as described for
gasoline
fuel.
BATTERY
Starting the unit requires 12-volt battery current. Use
one 12-volt (see specification) battery for a normal
installation. Connect the battery as in Figure 14.
Necessary battery cables are on unit. Service battery
as necessary. Infrequent set use (as in emergency
standby service) may allow battery to self-discharge
to the point where it cannot start the unit. 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.

(305 m and 610 m), use No. 16 AWG wire.
FIGURE 15. REMOTE START CONNECTION (TB12)
Control Box Connections: The factory ships these 12
lead generators with load connection wires NOT
connected together in the control box. These 12 wires
are labeled Tl through T12 and must be brought
together before making load connections. Proceed as
follows:
1.
Remove either right, left or top panel from control
box. See Figure 17.
2.
Connect wires together as shown on panel draw-
ing and in Figure 1 according to voltage desired.
3. Open hinged control panel doors. Connect lead
from terminal 63 to correct terminal for voltage
desired.
These terminals are labeled H2, H3, H4,
H5 and H6. See Figure 18.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
Most local regulations require that wiring connections be made by a licensed electrician and thatthe
installation be inspected and approved before operation.
All connections, wire sizes, etc. must conform to
requirements of electrical codes in effect at the
installation site.
Generator set grounding must be in accordance with
National Electrical Code (NFPA 70-1975) Article 250.
If the installation is for standby service, a double
throw transfer switch must always be used. Connect
this switch (either automatic or manual) so that it is
impossible for commercial power and generator
current to be connected to the load at the same time.
See Figure 16. Instructions for connecting an
automatic load transfer control are included with
such equipment.

OPERATION
GENERAL
ONAN EK/EM Series electric generating sets are
given a complete running test under various load
conditions and are thoroughly checked before leav-
ing 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 safe mark (see Figure 23). Record total
capacity for future oil changes. Do not mix brands nor
grades of lubricating oils.

Oil capacities (nominal)
Oil Pan and Filter — 7-quarts (6.6 litres)
Cooling System: Cooling system was drained priorto
shipment. Fill cooling system before starting.
Nominal capacity is 20-quarts (19 litres). For units
using either a 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 Ford engine
manual for additional information.
Combination Gas-Gasoline: A set designed for normal operation on gas fuel with provision for emergency operation on gasoline
fuel,
is equipped with a gasgasoline toggle switch. Throw the switch to the
appropriate position according to the type of fuel in
use.
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 (26.7°C). If distilled water has been added cr
specific gravity is less than

seconds of cranking. Immediately after start, observe
the oil pressure gauge. Normal oil pressure is
between 30- and 55-psi (207- and 380 N»m). 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.
After running 10 minutes under load the water
temperature gauge should have stabilized at 180° to
1950F (82° to 90°C). On city water cooled units an
adjustable valve is connected in thewatersupply line.
Adjust the hand wheel valve to provide a water flow
that will keep the water temperature gauge reading
within the range of 1650F to 195°F (74°C to 90°C).
recheck to verify unit is ready to start.
EXERCISE
Generator sets on continuous standby service are
required to be operative at essential loads from a cold
start in a short period of time in the event of a power
outage.
This imposes severe conditions on the engine. Friction of dry piston rings upon dry cylinder walls 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

OUT-OF-SERVICE
PROTECTION
Generator sets removed from service for extended
periods of time should be protected from rust and
corrosion.
Onan recommends the following protec-
tive procedure—
For One Month
1.
Run the engine at 1800
r/min
and treat the upper
cylinders by spraying an engine preservative oil
(SAE 10) into the carburetor air intake for about
two minutes. Open the throttlefora short burst of
speed,
then shut off the ignition and allow the
engine to come to a stop while continuing to
spray the oil into the carburetor air intake.
Disconnect and remove battery.
2.
Leave the Spark plugs installed and cover all
engine openings with dust-proof caps or shields.
3. Drain the oil, water and gasoline.
For Indefinite Period
1.
Drain the crankcase completely and refill with an
engine preservative oil (SAE 10).
2.
Run the engine until it is completely out of
gasoline, then restart and. run it on an unleaded,
undyed gasoline for at least 10 minutes. Run the
engine at 1800
r/min
and treatthe upper cylinders
by spraying an engine preservative oil (SAE 10)
into the carburetor air intake for about two
minutes. Open the throttle for a short burst of
speed,
shut off the ignition and allow the engine
to come to a stop while continuing to spray theoil
into the carburetor air intake.
3. Disconnect and remove battery. Follow standard
battery storage procedure. Apply film of nonconductive grease to terminal lugs.
4.
Drain the oil and gasoline. Drain the water at the
bottom of the radiator and side of the block.
5. Remove all grease and oil from the exterior
surfaces of the engine.
6. Leave the spark plugs installed.
7. Seal all engine openings and accessories with
water resistant adhesive tape. Mask off all areas to
be used for electrical contact.
8. Make sure all surfaces are dry, then spray all
taped openings, all engine accessories including
ignition wiring, and all exterior surfaces of the
engine with an ignition insulation compound.

BATTERY,
HOT LOCATION
Batteries will self discharge very quickly when installed where the ambient temperature is consistently
above 90°F (32.2°C), such as in a boiler room. To
lengthen 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 (32.2°C), this shouid not
be noticed. The lengthened battery life will be worth,
the effort.
1.
Fully charge the battery.
2.
With the battery still on charge, draw off the
electrolyte above the plates in each
cell.
DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO POUR OFF; use an hydrometer or
filler bulb ahd dispose of it in a safe manner. Avoid
skin or clothing contact with the electrolyte.
3. Refill each cell with distilled water, to normal
level.
4.
Continue charging for 1 hour at a 4- to 6-hour
rate.
5. Test each
1.255,
reduced to
cell.
If the specific gravity is still above
repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until the reading is
1.225.
Usually, repeating steps twice is
sufficient.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Establish and adhere to a definite schedule of
maintenance inspection and servicing, application
and environment being the governing factors in
determing such a schedule. If your set is a prime
power application, base your schedule on operating
hours.
Use the running time meter to log hours run;
maintain an accurate record of hours and service for
warranty support.
A set on stand-by duty will need servicing at times
other than those recommended by Onan and the
engine manufacturer. Refer to Ford manual for
engine services and maintenance procedures. Adjust
your schedule to satisfy the following conditions—

Electric Choke: A 12 volt electric choke (Figure 29)
with vacuum booster is used on all engines. The
adjustable choke cover is held in place by three
screws. Perimeter of the cover is divided into sections
by small raised marks. One mark is labeled zero and
the twelfth mark from zero is labeled with an asterisk
(*), which indicates normal adjustment setting. Along
raised line on top of the choke housing is used as the
reference mark. Normal setting for the choke is made
when the asterisk mark lines up with reference line.
If overchoking occurs, loosen three locking screws
and turn choke cover slightly to the left
(counterclockwise). Do not turn very far. One or two
notches will usually be sufficient. Tighten locking
screws. To increase choking action, turn choke cover
slightly to the right (clockwise). Retighten cover

Anti-Dieseling Control: Normally factory adjustment
should not be changed. Adjustment procedure is
included with governor adjustment.
The anti-dieseling control is a device to hold the
throttle closed during engineshutdown. This ensures
prompt stopping and prevents backfiring. A spring
and linkage hold the throttle closed during shutdown.
A solenoid is energized to overcome spring tension
and permits the governor to open the throttle for
engine running.
Governor (Includes Anti-dieseling Control): The
governor controls the speed of the engine, and
therefore the frequency of the voltage. Engine speed
affects AC output voltage. Use either a tachometer or
frequency meter to check engine speed for proper
governor adjustment.

held wide open, and tension on governor spring,

Drive Belt Adjustment: Separate belts are used to
drive fan, governor and alternator (Figure 35). Maintain correct adjustment of these belts to provide
proper engine cooling and alternator output. Check
belts for cracks and wear occasionally, and replace
when necessary.
To adjust fan belt, loosen fan bracket screws, then
move bracket up or down until adeflection of 1/2 inch
(13 mm) is obtained between crankshaft pulley and
fan pulley, with light thumb pressure on the belt.
To adjust alternator or governor belt, loosen link
clamp screw and the mounting bolts, move alternator
or governor toward or away from engine until a
deflection of 1/2 inch (13 mm) is obtained between
pulleys, with light thumb pressure on belt.

Operator should periodically make a complete visual
inspection of the unit while running at rated
load.
Some of the things to check for are as follows:
1.
Check fuel and oil lines for possible leakage.
2.
Inspect exhaust lines and mufflers for possible
leakage and cracks.
3. Periodically or daily drain moisture from condensation traps.
4.
Inspect water lines and connections for leaks and
security.
5. Inspect electrical wires for security.

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.
Inspection: Inspect generator and control box for
