Chapter 2: Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for the following models TR15REG-DB, TR20REG-DB / TR20REG-DB3 that should be followed completely during installation and maintenance of the generator and battery. I. Technical Features of the 15 and 20kW Single and Three-Phase, Dual-Fuel Generators 1. Generator set operation - Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or even death.
2. Fuel System - Fuel Vapors are highly explosive and can cause severe injury or death. Use extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment, gas hot water heaters and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel while the engine is running or hot, fuel spills may ignite on contact with hot parts and muffler. Do not operate under the influence of drugs and alcohol or smoke. when operating around sparks or open flames.
6. Gas vapors and fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Fuel leaks can cause an explosion. Use digital gas leak detector on all gas connections for no less than 1 minuet per connection. Leak detector not included with generator. Contact Service provider. 7. Engine noise. Hazardous noise can cause hearing loss. Generator sets not equipped with sound enclosures can produce noise levels greater than 105dB.
9. Moving parts. When the generator set is in operation, the cooling fan is rotating. Do not open the maintenance cover and make adjustment while generator is running. You must shut down the engine and turn electrical breaker to the off position before maintenance or operation. Before restarting, close all service panels. 10. CAUTION. FOR STANDBY ELECTRICAL OUTPUT, CONNECT GENERATOR TO SUITABLY RATED TRANSFER SWITCH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, PART I.
Operating System Functions and Definitions Power Switch: The power switch controls the entire generator set control system. If this switch is placed in the OFF (O push in down mode) position, the internal electrical control circuit of the unit will not have electrical power. When this switch is placed in the ON (I in the up mode) position, the control system can be manually or automatically started with ATS.
Engine Prestart & Preparation All necessary installation and annual maintenance must be conducted and performed by an authorized licensed TRANE® Standby specialist to prevent warranty violation. If end-user changes and maintains oil, air and coolant service, they must maintain log, receipts and take pictures of hour meter at the time of service for verification. Before starting engine for the first time, engine oil and radiator coolant must be added.
2. Cooling System Use only automotive grade antifreeze and distilled water in cooling system. Do not use water that contains salt or alkalis (Tap Water)! Using non-distilled water creates scale in the radiator, causing corrosion and premature wear. You must check and maintain all fuel, lubricant and coolant levels. Not doing so will accelerate and shorten the life of the standby system.
B. Natural Gas (NG) If the engine is set at the factory to run on natural gas, please check the fuel pressure and flow. The purchase of a pressure reducing valve might be required, and it is not included with this unit. After installation please contact a service provider if user wants to switch fuel types from Natural Gas (NG) to Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) or vice versa. Please contact the seller, installer or manufacturer at 844-367-5660. 4.
The battery represents a risk of high short circuit current. When working on the battery, always remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use tools that have insulated handles! Installing, Servicing or Exchanging the Battery should be performed or supervised by knowledgeable personnel. Battery connection or exchange requires precautions and protective gear. Always wear face and eye protection with electrical rubber gloves, boots and battery apron. Keep unauthorized personnel away from battery.
9. Fault indicator lamp When red lamp indicator is illuminated, operator must shut the generator down and follow trouble shooting guide and steps. If the generator still won’t start, press the emergency stop switch. Rotate clockwise to pop up position. After waiting for 30 seconds, try starting again. If generator still cannot be started, check the generator carefully for loose wires, battery terminals and voltage output, gas flow to the lines and generator.
Chapter 3: Long Term Care & Storage of Generator Long term storage and care 1. Remove battery positive lead first and then negative lead. Remove battery and store in dark dry place. It is recommended to recharge it slowly every three months. 2. Turn Gas line to generator in off position and disconnect. Plug gas line with rubber plug to prevent dirt from getting into gas line. 3. Remove all dirt from the generator if long time storage is needed. 4. Drain coolant from engine.
Chapter 4: Maintenance of Generator Regular maintenance is an important part of your investment and provides longevity of the complete generator system. Keep it in good working condition according to the specifications outlined and it will provide many years of dependable service. The following generator maintenance specifications are based on a good working environment. If working conditions are less than desirable (such as excessive dust, dirt and humidity, etc.
Maintenance of the Lubricating System 1. Engine oil Oil viscosity: Select the viscosity according to your ambient temperature. Oil quality level (according to standards set by the American Petroleum Institute): SE or higher-level oil. After 30 hours of running new engine, preform first oil change. Maintain and replace the amount of oil according to the requirements (4qrts), this will ensure long dependable engine life. Only use full synthetic motor oils, Mobil 1, 0W-40 is highly recommended or equivalent.
3. Replacement of used oil filter with new oil filter Replace old oil filter after the engine has cooled. The replacement cycle should be followed according to the maintenance cycle schedule. Steps for replacement: • Use oil filter wrench to remove old oil filter. Turn to the left to loosen. • Before installing new oil filter coat, gasket surface with a thin layer of oil before installation. • Twist new filter to the right to tighten into place with a firm hand.
Maintenance of the cooling system When the engine is operating, there must be enough antifreeze and distilled water in the radiator system to insure proper engine cooling. It is suggested to check it regularly before use, if there is not enough antifreeze or distilled water add as needed. Do not use mineral, hard water or poor quality antifreeze. We suggest Prestone, Shell, Texaco or similar brand. 1.
1. Routine Radiator Maintenance tips • Regularly check radiator hoses. Inspect clamps and make sure they are secure. • If hoses become deformed, develop bulges, hardening or cracking is visible, they need to be changed immediately! • Inspect and clean the cooling fins on the radiator regularly, use compressed air to blow out excess dust and dirt. Important! Blow compressed air from the inside out. Debris can build over time and affect the cooling system. 2.
