GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuel Tank
This generator can be equipped with a 150 gallon (567
liters) fuel tank located beneath the trailer deck. The tank
is made of steel (baffled). The tank can be filled from an
external fill port located on the side of the trailer. The fill
port has a 2-inch (51 mm) fill neck with vented cap.
When refueling, it is recommended to use ASTM-D975/No.
2 diesel fuel. A drain port is provided on the end of the tank.
Fuel Priming Pump
The generator set is equipped with an electric (24 VDC)
fuel priming pump to assist in priming the system for
maintenance purposes. The priming pump, bypass valves,
and priming switch are located on the side of the diesel
engine in the engine compartment.
Fuel Water Separator
A 30-micron Racor 900 fuel water separator is part of the
fuel system assembly and is located on the side of the
engine in within the enclosure compartment.
The supply line between the engine fuel pump and tank
passes through an in-line fuel/water separator filter. The
filter element is rated to filter elements down to 10 microns.
Intake Ventilation Door
The intake air ventilation door is located on the roof of the
generator set enclosure near the control panel. The door is
hydraulically actuated. Upon startup of the diesel engine,
pressure fills the cylinder and opens the door. Intake air
passes through the opening, and across the engine’s
radiator to cool the engine.
During rainy conditions the roof ventilation door will close
when the front ventilation door is opened.
Interior Lighting
The interior lighting system is distributed throughout the
interior. There are three separate lighting fixtures. Two
lights are in the engine compartment, and one light is in
the generator compartment.The lighting system operates
from the 24 VDC battery system.
The light fixtures are sealed incandescent bulbs which are
activated by a 0-15 minute timer switch located on the side
control panel box. The DC lighting system can be used to
perform off-line maintenance or assist in setup prior to AC
power connection.
Trailer (Optional)
If equipped, the generator set can be mounted on a tandem
axle trailer. Standard trailer is available with 8-lug chrome
wheels and electric or hydraulic brakes. Options may
include electric jack stands, adjustable hitch, ground rod
