ANSI SAFETY DEFINITIONS
DANGER:
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be
limited to the most extreme situations.
WARNING:
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
NOTE: CAUTION is also used on the unit labels and in this manual to
indicate a situation that could result in serious damage or destruction of
the equipment and possible personal injury.
1. ELECTRIC SHOCK -
The output voltage present in this equipment can cause a fatal electric
shock. This equipment must be operated by a responsible person.
A. Do not allow anyone to operate the generator without proper
instruction.
B. Guard against electric shock.
C. Avoid contact with live terminals or receptacles.
D. Use extreme care if operating this unit in rain or snow.
E. Use only three-prong grounded plugs and extension cords.
F. Be sure the unit is properly grounded to an external ground rod
driven into the earth.
2. FIRE HAZARD -
A. Keep a re extinguisher nearby and know its proper use. Fire
extinguishers rated ABC by NFPA are appropriate.
OPM-137
All service, including the installation or replacement of service parts,
should be performed only by a qualied technician.
A. Use only factory approved repair parts.
B. Do not work on this equipment fatigued.
C. Use extreme caution when working on electrical components.
High output voltages from this equipment can cause serious
injury or death.
D. Installing a generator is not a “do-it-yourself” project. Consult
a qualied, licensed electrician or contractor. The installation
must comply with all national, state, and local codes.
6. INSTALLATION -
Installing a PTO generator is not a “do-it-yourself” project. Consult
a qualied, licensed electrician or contractor. The installation must
comply with all national, state, and local codes.
A. Never operate the PTO drive generator without having it
properly mounted to a concrete base or approved trailer.
b. Never connect the PTO generator to an existing electrical
system without installing an isolation transfer switch.
C. Always insure the drive shaft is straight and level before
operating the generator.
8. OPERATION - PTO drive shafts (tumbling bars) have many inherent
dangers, extreme caution must be exercised when using them.
A. NEVER allow children around the drive shaft when it is in
operation.
B. Keep all safety guards and shields in place and securely
tightened.
C. Never operate a drive shaft that has been damaged or had the
safety shield removed.
D. Never step over a drive shaft while it is running.
E. Never wear a necktie, loose articles of clothing, or anything else
that can be caught in moving parts.
F. Never try to stop drive shaft with your hand or your foot.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When you unpack your new generator, be sure to remove all of the
information sheets and manual from the carton.
1. As you receive your unit, it is critical to check it for any damage. If
any damage is noted, it is always easiest to refuse the shipment and
let WINCO take care of the freight claim. If you sign for the unit, the
transfer of the ownership requires that you le the freight claim
2. Before proceeding with the preparations of your new generator
for operation, take a couple of minutes to ensure the unit you have
received is the correct model and review the specication pages in
this manual to ensure that this unit meets your job requirements.
INTRODUCTION
The WINCO power take-off generators are designed primarily for farm
use as a standby electrical power supply, utilizing the power take-off
of a tractor or truck as the prime mover. This PTO drive generator will
provide, 120/240V 1-PH, 120/208V 3-PH, 120/240V 3-PH, 277/480V
3-PH, or 346/600V (depending on model), 60Hz electrical service when
properly driven.
DO NOT operate and/or store the unit outside during inclement
weather without adequate protection from the elements. Failure to do
so will damage the unit.
NOTE:
It is acceptable to use this generator with a tractor with less HP
output than required for full power operation. The generator will work
but produce only as much kW output as the tractor can supply HP
for. For example, a 20 HP output tractor will deliver a maximum of
approximately 10 kw.
FOUNDATION MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a foundation if it is to be used as a permanent
or standby power source. When planning a foundation consider the
following points:
A. The foundation location should enable aligning the drive shaft
(tumbling bar) in a straight or nearly straight line between the power
take-off and the generator input shaft. Misalignment must be
less than 5 degrees during generator operation, even though
the mechanical design of the tumbling bar would allow greater
misalignment.
B. The foundation must be solid enough to absorb generator starting
and reected load torque during operation.
C. The foundation surface should be at.
D. Space is required around the generator for mounting switching
devices, making connections, and for servicing.
E. For dimensions needed for install for your specic generator, please
refer to it’s outline drawing. The hardware needed is dependent on
your distinct application.
F. The generator mounting bracket must rest evenly and rmly on the
foundation. Install shims if necessary to even out the foundation
under the mounting pads then bolt the generator rmly in place.
TRAILER MOUNTING
Optional
If you are using a tractor with more HP than required to run the
generator care should be taken to ensure that you do not overload the
generator causing overheating and equipment damage. Observe input
RPM specications.
The generator may be foundation mounted for use as standby power
source, or trailer mounted, and used as portable electrical power
sources for areas where commercial power is not readily available,
such as out buildings.
This generator includes a frequency meter to warn against high or
low frequency, three output power receptacles, an overload protection
circuit, and an electronic excitation circuit. To reduce maintenance
problems, the coupling between the generator input shaft and rotor
consists of precision helical gearing rather than a chain link drive. The
input shaft is a 1 3/8in. 6-spline.
IMPORTANT: THE MANUFACTURER STRONGLY RECOMMENDS
RUNNING THE GENERATOR UNDER LOAD AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH IN ORDER TO EVAPORATE ANY
ACCUMULATED MOISTURE CONDENSATION.
Mount the generator on a trailer if you plan to use it as a portable
power source. When selecting or building a trailer to mount the
generator, consider the following points:
A. The trailer construction must be strong enough to support the
generator.
B. The design of the trailer must enable the trailer to remain stable
during operation, and to resist tipping caused by generator starting
and reected load torque.
