2.7Voltage Selector Switch
See Graphic: wc_gr001682
The voltage selector switch is located in a separate enclosure on the
generator on the opposite side of the machine.
The selector switch is a three-position switch which mechanically
changes the connections between the generator output leads and the
terminal lugs on the generator. This allows three different volt ranges
to be selected.
120/240 VAC 1Ø
120/208 VAC 3Ø
139/240 VAC 3Ø (Refer to Section Voltage Adjustment Rheostat.)
277/480 VAC 3Ø
Voltage ranges are selected by rotating the handle on the switch to the
desired voltage. The switch is equipped with a locking mechanism.
This allows the voltage setting to be locked in place to prevent
unauthorized personnel from changing the voltage selection. To lock
switch in position, push lock up and attach a padlock through the
openings in the locking strip.

2.10Engine Start Switch
See Graphic: wc_gr001683
The engine start switch (f) is a three-position switch: “REMOTE
START”, off “O”, and “START/RUN”. The “REMOTE START” position
is the normal setting used when using the generator as a back-up
power supply connected to a remote switch. In the REMOTE START
position, the generator is in stand-by mode and will not start until the
remote switch closes. In the “START/RUN” position, the switch
immediately starts the engine start cycle and activates the starter
motor to crank the engine. When set in the “REMOTE START” or
“START/RUN” position, the switch applies battery power to the control
module to turn on the LCD panel, and also energizes the engine’s
electrical system. In the off “O” position, power to the engine’s
electrical system, including the fuel solenoid, is disconnected.

wc_tx000137gb.fm44
G 25Operation
2.29Remote/Transfer Switch
When the generator is used as a stand-by power supply, it must be
equipped with a device which isolates it from the utility’s distribution
system.
WARNING
Failure to isolate the generator from the utility’s electrical
distribution system could cause output from the generator to
backfeed into the utility lines and cause injury or death to utility
workers!
The same is true if using the generator as a backup to some other type
of power supply system.
A transfer switch is designed to transfer electrical loads from the
normal power source (utility) to the emergency power source
(generator) when normal voltage falls below a prescribed level.
The transfer switch automatically returns the load back to the normal
source when power is restored back to operating levels.
Installation of a transfer switch or other type of remote starting device
is the responsibility of the generator user. Installation of such devices
must be performed by a qualified electrician following all directions
supplied by the manufacturer of the switch. If attaching generator to a
power supply normally serviced by a utility company, notify the utility
company and check local and state regulations. Familiarize yourself
with all instructions and warning labels supplied with the switch.
WARNING
DANGER
The bond bar connecting the neutral and ground lugs may need to be
removed for stand-by power applications. Check with NEC and local
regulations for compliance requirements.
When using the generator as a stand-by or substitute power supply,
make sure the voltage and phase rotation of the line connections
match those of the utility lines, or of any other power source normally
used. Failure to match phase rotation and voltage may cause
equipment connected to the generator to operate incorrectly!
This could create unsafe operating conditions.
Lethal voltage is always present in the transfer switch once it has been
properly installed!

2.30.1Check that the towing vehicle and hitch have a rating equal to or
greater than the GVWR. Refer to the Technical Data.
2.30.2Check the condition of both the coupler and hitch. DO NOT tow the
trailer if the coupler or hitch is damaged.
2.30.3Make sure that the hitch and coupler are compatible. The generator
trailer is equipped with either a pintle type coupler (a) or 50 mm (2 in.)
ball coupler.
2.30.4Check that the directional and running lights on the trailer are working.
2.30.5Connect the safety chains (c) using a crossed pattern under the trailer
tongue.
2.30.6On trailers with surge or electric brakes, connect the breakaway cable
(b) on the trailer coupler to the rear bumper or frame of the vehicle.
This cable will actuate the brake system on the trailer if both the
coupling and safety chains have failed. The breakaway cable is not a
parking brake and should not be used as one.
2.30.7Check that all fasteners on the coupling are secure.
2.30.8Check the tread wear and inflation of tires. Make sure that all lug nuts
are in place and are tight.
2.30.9Check the operation of the optional surge brakes by braking the
vehicle at a slow speed before entering traffic. Both the vehicle and the
trailer should brake smoothly. If the trailer seems to be pushing, check
the fluid level (d) in the surge brakes or the operation of the electric
brakes.
A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler and ball life and
eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler and ball clean and apply fresh
grease each time the trailer is towed.
NOTICE: When towing, maintain extra space between vehicles and
avoid soft shoulders, curbs and sudden lane changes. If you have not
pulled a trailer before, practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an
area away from heavy traffic.
DO NOT exceed 55 mph when towing a trailer.

wired into the ECM. The sensor probe (b) is submerged in radiator
coolant. If the probe senses no coolant, it sends a signal to the ECM.
The ECM program includes a 10-second timer to protect from
nuisance shutdowns. If after the ten seconds coolant levels are still
sensed as being low, the ECM shuts down the engine. The ECM will
then display LOW COOLANT LVL. Allow the engine to cool before
adding additional coolant.
NEVER remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot! Pressurized
WARNING
coolant can cause serious burns.
If it is necessary to open the radiator, only do so with the engine off,
and only when coolant is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly
loosen the radiator cap to relieve pressure first, before removing it
completely.
Note: The sensor may be disabled by unplugging the wire harness.
This action will not shut down the machine.

4.5Temperature-Activated Shutters
See Graphic: wc_gr005770, wc_gr001707
The shutters (a) are mounted to the top of the generator enclosure.
The shutters are designed to keep the engine compartment warm, thus
increasing engine temperature during cold weather operation. The
shutters are activated through a wax-pellet actuator (b) that is
connected to the generator's cooling system. As radiator coolant
warms, the wax-pellet actuator engages a linkage (c) that opens the
shutters. As the coolant cools, the shutters close.
4.6Lockable Battery Disconnect
See Graphic: wc_gr004338
A lockable ON/OFF switch is available which disconnects the battery.
A padlock (not included) securely locks the switch in the OFF position.
If equipped, the battery disconnect switch is mounted to the upper skid
beneath the access door on either the right or left side of the machine.
NOTICE: Do not use the battery disconnect switch while the engine is
running. Damage to electrical components may occur.

4.7Extended Run Tank
An extended run, 135-gallon fuel tank provides a 70-hour run time
under a continuous full load. The long run time eliminates the need for
daily refueling, saving money on fuel deliveries. The tank is fully fluidcontained and is ideal for remote or weekend running of equipment
such as dewatering submersible pumps.
4.8Battery Charger
An optional battery charger maintains the battery at peak power while
the machine is turned off. Use of a battery charger is recommended
when the generator is not operated on a regular basis. The battery
charger prevents voltage drain and reduces the possibility of having to
jump-start the engine after long periods of inactivity.

4.10Containment System
See Graphic: wc_gr002647
Overspills and leaks are captured in the containment system. The
containment system holds over 110% of the fluid contained in the
machine.
The containment system should be checked every 50 hours or 2
weeks and drained when necessary. If fluid is found in the containment
tank, trace the cause of the leak and correct.
Note: In the interests of environmental protection, place impermeable
sheeting and a container under the machine to collect the liquid which
drains off. Dispose of this liquid in accordance with environmental
protection legislation.
