WET STACKING
The unit is powered by a diesel engine. Diesel engines are susceptible to wet stacking if lightly loaded. Wet stacking
occurs when an engine is run at less than 30% of its full load capacity, causing unburned fuel to accumulate in the
exhaust system. Wet stacking can be detected by continuous black exhaust when the unit is under a constant load.
It can also cause fouling of injectors and buildup on engine valves. Diesel engines operate properly when applied
loads are between 30% and 100% capacity. Appropriate generator sizing is determined by the anticipated load. If
the unit is in a wet stack condition, load the unit heavily for five hours or until the exhaust is clear.
RECEPTACLE PANEL
The receptacle panel is equipped with six recep-
tacles for running accessories or tools from the
generator. Power is supplied to the receptacles
any time the engine is running and the main circuit
breaker is switched to the “ON/I” position. The
standard receptacle panel is equipped with two of
each of the following receptacles:
1. 240V/30A Twist-lock
2. 120V/20A GFCI
3. 240V/50A Twist-lock
Should the main breaker trip, remove some of the
load to the receptacles before turning them back
on.
Each receptacle has an individual circuit breaker which is located behind the receptacle panel. The breakers are
labeled with the corresponding amperage for the receptacle they protect.
Note: To ensure proper grounding, anytime the generator is providing power to any equipment or load panels that
do not have a grounded plug, a ground wire MUST BE added between the equipment and the grounding stud on
the receptacle panel per any local, state or National Electric Code (NEC) and guidelines.
SHUTTING DOWN
When you have finished using the light tower proceed with shut down as follows:
1. Remove any loads from the receptacles.
2. Switch the individual circuit breakers for each light
to the “OFF/O” position.
3. Switch the main circuit breaker to the “OFF/O”
position.
4. Turn the Engine Start switch to the “OFF” position.
Note: For extended storage time, disconnect the battery. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for extended storage
requirements.
