HPS6000HE/I INSTALLATION AND OPERATORS MANUAL BI-FUEL GENERATOR
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS PROPER USE AND INSTALLATION This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and battery. Read and understand all instructions in the manual before starting and operating the generator set. You must be sure your new engine generator set is: * Properly serviced before starting. * Operated in a well ventilated area. * Properly exhausted and gases safely dispersed. * Operated only for its designed purposes.
b. Keep fuel containers out of reach of children. c. Do not smoke or use open flame near the generator set or fuel tank. d. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know its proper use. Fire extinguishers rated ABC by NFPA are appropriate. e. Store fuel only in an approved container, and only in a well ventilated area. f. Follow local codes for closeness to combustible material. SAFETY INFORMATION This engine generator set has been designed and manufactured to allow safe, reliable performance.
TESTING POLICY UNIT CAPABILITIES Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded to its full capacity, and the voltage, current and frequency are carefully checked. GENERATOR CONNECTIONS Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests of typical units, and is subject to and limited by, the temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified by the manufacturer of the applicable engines.
rests with you when a generator set is sent F.O.B. shipping point. Only you can legally file a claim. load, such as an air compressor, it will require more starting current. If it is connected to a light load, or no load such as a power saw, it will require less starting current. The exact requirement will also vary with the brand or design of the motor. 2.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later (or equivalent). NG FUEL INSTALLATION The information in this instruction is offered to assist you in providing the proper Natural Gas (NG) fuel supply for your engine. This information is only provided to advise you of the engine’s requirements and the decisions you must make.
A positive fuel shut-off device must be installed in the fuel line close to the engine generator set. This manual shut-off valve is require by code even if the 12 volt fuel solenoid kit is installed. This optional 12 volt DC valve is available through your local Winco dealer and can be used to shut the fuel off during normal periods of operation without having to shut off the manual valve. FUEL PRESSURE Correct fuel pressure cannot be stressed enough.
CHANGING FUEL TYPES These engine generator sets are designed to run on two different fuels; gasoline, and natural gas. They may be easily changed from one fuel to another. FROM GASOLINE TO NG 1. With the engine running turn off the gasoline fuel valve. 2. Run the engine until it runs out of fuel. 3. Remove the plastic insert from the demand regulator. 4. Install a locally approved flexible fuel line. 5. Connect the NG vapor fuel line to the flexible fuel line.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY INITIAL START UP Lead acid batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas when charging. Keep sparks, flames, and burning cigarettes away from the battery. Ventilate the area when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space. Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid, which causes severe burns. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, flush well with water. For contact with eyes, get immediate medical attention.
4 Turn the off/on engine switch to the on position. ON ON position. 3. Move the choke lever to the “CLOSED” ON To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the “OPEN” position CHOKE LEVER CLOSED ON OPEN MIN. CLOSED MAX. ENGINE SWITCH 5. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly. 6. When the engine starts, open the choke gradually. 7. The engine should promptly come up to operating speed. MIN. 4.
2. Hot weather a. Use the proper oil for the temperature expected. b. Use only summer blended gasoline. Using gasoline left over from winter may cause the unit to vapor lock. ELECTRIC STARTING (NG only) When operating on NG, you will have to always use the electric start to get the unit running. Because of the engine vacuum need to activate the fuel system it is almost impossible to manual start the unit using NG. STOPPING AND STORAGE 1. Check oil level, refill as needed. 2. Turn on the NG fuel supply 3.
OPERATING SPEED The engine-generator must be run at the correct speed in order to produce the proper electrical voltage and frequency. CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE The output voltage should be checked to ensure the generator is working properly prior to connecting a load to the generator. Failure to do so could result in damage to equipment plugged into the unit and possible injury to the individual. All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied.
and generator ratings. The nameplate rating can be obtained through a single receptacle as long as the receptacle amperage rating is not exceeded. GROUNDING All units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4 or 1” copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the enginegenerator set. The pipe must penetrate moist earth. Connect an approved ground clamp to the pipe. Run a no. 10 Awg wire from clamp to the generator ground lug on the receptacle panel. Do not connect to a water pipe or to a ground used by a radio system.
ENGINE CARE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE REGULAR SERVICE PERIOD (3) Each Use Perform at every First or indicated month or Every 3 Every 6 Every Month Months Months Year or or or Refer to Page 20 Hrs 50 Hrs 100 Hrs 300 Hrs operating hour interval, whichever comes first. ITEM Engine oil NOTE: This engine requires 38 to 39 ounces of oil if it is completely drained. Use caution when refilling the engine as some residual oil may have remained in the engine.
a. Bearing - The bearing used in these generators is a heavy duty double sealed ball bearing. They require no maintenance or lubrication. b. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked or otherwise damaged, replace it. Using damaged or cracked receptacles can be both dangerous to the operator and destructive to the equipment. .
