DERATING FOR ALTITUDE
All units are subject to derating for altitude and temperature; this will reduce the available power for operating tools
and accessories connected to the receptacles. Typical reductions in performance are 2-4% for every 1000 ft (305
m) of elevation and 1% per 10ºF (5.6ºC) increase in ambient air temperature over 72ºF (22ºC).
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.
Wet stacking in the exhaust system is less likely to occur in iT4-certified engines because of regeneration of the
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). During the regeneration process, exhaust temperatures are increased to burn off
accumulated particulate, and in the process also removes any un-burned diesel fuel or engine oil in the exhaust
system. Wet stacking may still be present in the engine due to low cylinder temperatures.
Note: If the unit has a 15% or less load for 10 minutes, “Wet Stacking Alarm” will pop up. The unit will still run but
the controller will be inaccessible. The alarm needs to be acknowledged in order to allow the controller to be accessible
again by pressing the Alarm Mute button.
CONTROL PANEL RECEPTACLES
The generator is equipped with five receptacles. The
large receptacles are 240/120VAC twist-lock recep-
tacles rated at 50A each. The smaller duplex recep-
tacles are 120VAC rated at 20A each with ground fault
circuit interrupt (GFCI) protection. These receptacles
are not routed through the main circuit breaker. Each
receptacle has its own circuit breaker, located directly
above or next to the receptacle. Each breaker is sized
to the maximum rating of the corresponding recepta-
cle.
Power to the receptacles is
available any time the generator
is running, EVEN IF THE MAIN
CIRCUIT BREAKER IS IN THE
OFF (O) POSITION. MAKE
SURE THAT ANY EQUIPMENT
CONNECTED TO THE
RECEPTACLES IS TURNED
OFF BEFORE TURNING THE
BREAKERS ON. Make sure that
the voltage selector switch is in
the proper position and that the
output voltage is correct for the
equipment that is connected to
the receptacles. Improper voltage
may cause equipment damage or
malfunction.
