IMPORTANT
Protect all operating personnel. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the
Operating/Instruction Manual before installing, operating, or servicing the equipment.
Keep the manual available for future use by all operators.
WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 - DIESEL ENGINES. Diesel engine exhaust and
some of its constituents are known to cause cancer, birth defects and other illnesses.
1) General
Equipment that supplies electrical power can cause serious injury or death, damage to other equipment or
property. The operator must strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions. Safe
practices have been developed from past experience in the use of power source equipment. While
certain practices below apply only to electrically powered equipment, other practices apply to engine-
driven equipment, and some practices to both.
2) Shock Prevention
Bare conductors, terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically live equipment can fatally
shock a person. Have a certified electrician verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn
what terminals and parts are electrically HOT. Avoid hot spots on machine. Use proper safety clothing,
procedures and test equipment.
The electrical resistance of the body is decreased when wet, permitting dangerous currents to flow
through it. When inspecting or servicing the equipment, do not work in damp areas. Stand on a dry
rubber mat or dry wood, and use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided. Keep
clothing dry, and never work alone.
a) Output Cables and Terminals
Inspect cables frequently for damage to the insulation and the connectors. Replace or repair
cracked or worn cables immediately. Do not overload cables. Do not touch output terminal while
equipment is energized.

3) Service and Maintenance

This equipment must be maintained in good electrical condition to avoid hazards stemming from
disrepair. Report any equipment defect or safety hazard to the supervisor and discontinue use of the
equipment until its safety has been assured. Repairs should be made by qualified personnel only.
Before inspecting or servicing this equipment, take the following precautions:
a) Shut off all power at the battery disconnect before inspecting or servicing the equipment.
b) Lockout the equipment at the battery disconnect switch if it is out of service.
c) If troubleshooting must be done with the unit energized, have another person present who is
trained in turning off the equipment and providing or calling for first aid.
4) Fire and Explosion Prevention.

Fire and explosion are caused by electrical short circuits, combustible material near engine exhaust pipes,
misuse of batteries and fuel, or unsafe operating or fueling conditions.
a) Electrical Short Circuits and Overloads.
Overloaded or shorted equipment can become hot enough to cause fires by self-destruction or by
causing nearby combustibles to ignite.
b) Batteries.
Batteries may explode and/or give off flammable hydrogen gas. Acid and arcing from a ruptured
battery can cause fires and additional failures. When servicing, do not smoke, cause sparking, or
use open flame near the battery.
c) Engine Fuel.
Use only approved fuel container or fueling system. Fires and explosions can occur if the fuel
tank is not grounded prior to or during fuel transfer. Shut unit DOWN before opening fuel tank
cap. DO NOT completely fill tank, because heat from the equipment may cause fuel expansion
overflow. Remove all spilled fuel IMMEDIATELY, including any that penetrates the unit. After
clean-up, open equipment doors and blow fumes away with compressed air.
5) Toxic Fume Prevention.
Carbon monoxide - Engine exhaust fumes can kill and cause health problems. Pipe or vent the
exhaust fumes to a suitable exhaust duct or outdoors. Never locate engine exhausts near intake
ducts of air conditioners.
6) Bodily Injury Prevention.

Serious injury can result from contact with fans or hot spots inside some equipment. Shut DOWN
such equipment for inspection and routine maintenance. When equipment is in operation, use
extreme care in doing necessary troubleshooting and adjustment. Do not remove guards while
equipment is operating.

7) Medical and First Aid Treatment.

First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available for each shift for immediate
treatment of all injury victims. Electric shock victims should be checked by a physician and taken to a
hospital immediately if any abnormal signs are observed.
EMERGENCY
FIRST AID SEEK ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. Use First Aid techniques recommended by
American Red Cross until medical help arrives.
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, give oxygen, if available, and have victim lie down.
FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, turn off power. Remove victim; if not breathing, begin
artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If no detectable pulse, begin external
heart massage.
8) Equipment Precautionary Labels
Inspect all precautionary labels on the equipment monthly. Order and replace all labels that cannot
be easily read.

5) Special Features
The generator set has special features that are described more fully under the assemblies in which they
appear.
a) Protective Monitoring
The protective monitoring system receives signals from the fault sensing components in the
generator output circuit and functions to cause the load to be disconnected from the generator if an
abnormal condition of voltage, frequency, or load develops. The nature of that abnormal condition is
then presented on the graphical display.
b) Voltage Regulator
A microprocessor-type, adjustable voltage regulator provides automatic voltage regulation at the
aircraft. The regulated output is also adjustable for a variety of output cable sizes and lengths.
c) Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The engine is equipped with an electronic control module (ECM) that monitors, records, and controls
engine performance.
d) Battery System Disconnect Switch
The generator set is equipped with a battery disconnect switch outside the unit on the RIGHT side.
The disconnect switch should be placed in the OFF position for long periods of shutdown.
NOTE: DO NOT disconnect the batteries when the engine is running or within two (2) minutes
after the engine stops.

6) Canopy
A composite enclosure, identified as a canopy, provides protection for the engine, generator and
electrical controls. The canopy is also designed to reduce the operational noise level in the immediate
area of the machine. The canopy is equipped with a bolted latch on the back left corner, which will require
the use of a wrench to remove the canopy. Once the bolt is loosened the canopy can be slid to the rear
and removed by two people for easy access to all engine and generator components.
We recommend using Simple Green® Industrial Cleaner & Degreaser or an equivalent to clean the
canopy and cable trays.
7) Engine and Generator
The engine and generator comprise the principal components of the generator set. They are mounted on
a galvanized, welded steel frame chassis. The following figures show the locations of all major
components and sub-assemblies.
a) Diesel Engine
The diesel engine is a fuel injection, 4-cylinder, electronically controlled engine rated at 171
horsepower.
b) Engine Manufacturer’s Components
As received from the engine manufacturer, the engine includes some of the following components,
which are more fully described in the engine manufacturer’s manual.
1) Electrical System
The 24 VDC electrical generating and starting system includes an alternator and starter with
solenoid switch.
2) Lubricity Additive Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is a spin-on disposable type located on the inside of the canopy, near the engine’s
fuel pump. The fuel filter’s primary function, other than removing contaminants from fuel, is to
automatically add a lubricity additive to the fuel. Although, the engine manufacturer does not
recommend low lubricity fuels, this additive can extend the life of the fuel pump.
The use of low lubricity fuels can shorten life and/or damage the engine’s fuel pump.
CAUTION Only diesel fuel is recommended by the engine manufacturer. Refer to engine
manufacturer’s manual for approved fuels.
3) Oil Filter
The engine oil filter is a spin-on, full-flow type, located on the left side of the engine near the
front.
4) Pre-programmed Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The ECM is a pre-programmed engine control module, mounted directly to the engine block.

c) Factory Installed Components and Protective Systems

This generator set is assembled with the following components and protective systems:
1) Shutdown/Reset Systems
 Emergency Shutdown
The emergency shutdown switch is to provide instant manual shut off of the generator
set by disconnecting power to the ECM through the control box. It is located on the
FRONT RIGHT of the generator set next to the control box.
To operate the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
 Push button in until engine stops or until button travel stops
 Pull the button back out to reset
CAUTION
Do not use the “EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON” as a normal shutdown device.
Damage to the engine turbo charger may result without proper cooling time. Use the
Engine ON/OFF push-button for all normal engine shutdowns.
 Low Fuel Warning System

The low fuel warning system monitors the fuel level in the fuel tank. When the fuel tank
level reaches approximately 10%, a warning is generated signifying it is time to put fuel
in the tank. Once the engine is not running, a low fuel fault is generated and the engine is
not allowed to start.
2) Radiator and Charge-Air-Cooler (CAC)
The radiator and charge-air-cooler is a two-piece type designed for long periods of operation
without servicing.
3) Engine-Cooling Fan
The engine fan is designed to blow air outward through the radiator, rather than pulling air inward
like a conventional fan.
4) Master [Battery] Disconnect Switch
The master disconnect switch is designed to isolate the batteries from the entire electrical system
to eliminate the possibility of battery current draw by the engine ECM or any other components
during long periods of no operation. The switch can also be used to lock-out the starting circuit of
the equipment for maintenance safety purposes.
5) Air Cleaner
The diesel engine air cleaner is constructed so that air enters through its cylindrical body, and
then is filtered before being passed into the engine turbo-charger assembly. An air cleaner
service indicator device is mounted on the air cleaner assembly to monitor the airflow into the air
cleaner. As the air cleaner becomes filled with dust, dirt, and carbon, the intake system airflow
becomes increasingly restricted. This restriction causes a diaphragm inside the indicator to
move toward an electrical contact. When the maximum allowable restriction level is reached, the
circuit closes and the air cleaner indicator fault appears on the control panel fault display to warn
the operator that the air cleaner must be changed. The electrical indicator automatically resets
when the restriction level drops sufficiently. Note: This function should not be used as a
replacement indicator. Follow recommended replacement schedule as specified in this manual.

d) Warnings/Faults
The control system reacts appropriately to different detected issues. These types can be generalized
between warnings and faults. Warnings are given when the system is able to function but requires
servicing/user interaction. Faults are generated when the unit cannot or should not supply regulated
power to the aircraft.
All faults prevent the engine from starting. However, they react differently to an operating unit. Faults
can be categorized into three subcategories as defined by the fault number.
 Fault numbers less than 6000
o Minor faults: Will disconnect power to the aircraft but not affect engine and generator
functions.
 Fault numbers between 6000 and 8000
o Mid-level faults: Will disconnect power to the aircraft, turn off the generator and shut
down the engine after the required 30 second cool down.
 Fault numbers greater than 8000
o Major faults: Result in immediate shutdown of all system components including the
engine. Service is required on the unit before it is returned to operation.
Engine generated warnings and faults are also monitored and their respective Cummins fault
numbers are shown on the display.
e) Generator
The 400 Hz generator is a brushless, dual bearing, revolving field, three-phase, alternating current
type unit. The front end of the rotor shaft extends forward beyond the front bearing and is coupled to
the engine flywheel by a flexible coupling assembly. The rear end of the rotor shaft extends rearward
beyond the rear bearing and into the exciter stator housing. The exciter rotor is mounted on this shaft
extension with a key and is secured by a washer and 1/2-13 threaded cap screw.
The rectifier has six diodes mounted on the exciter rotor and converts exciter AC output to DC for
excitation of the generator revolving fields. The exciter outputs DC to the generator fields, and
consequently the generator output is controlled by the voltage regulator PC board (REG). A
centrifugal, radial-blade fan draws cooling air over all internal windings. Air enters at the exciter end
and is discharged at the drive end. The complete generator assembly is bolted to the engine’s
flywheel and housing.
8) Power Module Assembly
The Power Module Assembly is mounted on the ARU table located to the rear of the machine over the
generator. The panel assembly provides a means of connecting and disconnecting the generator output
to and from the aircraft.
a) Load Contactor (K1 and K2)
Each load contactor contains a magnetic operating coil and four sets of contacts. The three larger
contacts conduct three-phase AC generator output. A small contact set is connected to the Digital
Control PC Board (CTL) to activate the protective monitor circuit. Three-phase, 400-Hz generator
output power is distributed to the load contactor by 2/0 cables that pass through current transformers.
b) Current Transformers (CT1-CT3)
A set of current transformers are used to monitor and control the line-drop compensation, ammeter,
and overload circuit.
1) Line-Drop Compensation

The current transformers detect the magnitude and power factor of current flowing from
generator to load. They feed a signal to the voltage regulator that interprets the signal and alters
the exciter field current as required to maintain a constant predetermined voltage at the load.
These values are accessible on the color display.
2) Ammeter
The current transformers convert a current signal to a voltage signal, which is sent to the
interface board and read by the processor boards. This signal is digitized and sent to the display
board where user can read on the color display in phase to phase or phase to N format.
3) Overload
The digitized signal is also processed to determine if the generator output is within defined
specifications. If the current is within the following values, then output contactor(s) are opened at
the prescribed time.
 Continuous 100% rated load at PF 0.7 - 0.8

 Continuous 80% rated load at PF 0.8 - 1.0
 5 minutes 100% rated load at PF 0.8 - 1.0
 10 seconds 120% rated load at PF 0.7 - 0.8
 2 seconds 150% rated load at PF 0.7 - 0.8

9) Operator Controls
The control box is a protected enclosure on the right front panel of the GPU with a modern graphical display
and easy to understand controls. The display allows the user to easily have access to all critical operational
information as well as providing textual descriptions of all warnings and failures.

it again will begin the start-up sequence for the diesel engine. Pressing it again will shut down the
engine. If the engine is already running, it will begin the manufacturer required 5 minute cool down. If
the unit has a fault, this button will reset the fault.
NOTE! – The screens shown in this manual reflect the current software version at the time of
publication. The screens on your unit might differ slightly based on the software version
running on your unit. Any changes will be described in a Service Bulletin which should be
placed in the back of this manual.
Default Screen:
There are two default displays depending on whether the engine is running or not. When the unit
finishes its self-check after first being powered up, the display will show the number of hours the
engine has been operating. After a short delay, the engine hours are replaced with the current time.
This then becomes the default display when engine is off. (The engine operating hours are always
available on the “Engine” information screen.)
During the engine start process, the screen will be modified to show the current status until the
engine is running and the unit is ready to output power.
Note: If the engine is configured to go to idle until an output is activated, it will still say it is ready for
use. However, the engine will have to ramp up to 2000 RPM and the voltage stabilized before the
output contactor will close.
When output power is ready, the screen will appear as follows showing all available outputs:
Both default screens enable the user to quickly have access to other pertinent information by

10) Cold Weather Starting System (BH1)

The intake air heater, located on the intake manifold, is used for starting the engine at very cold
temperatures and reduces the white smoke associated with a cold start. The intake air heater (or grid
heater) is energized or de-energized from a power relay controlled by the ECM. The amount of time the
air intake heater stays on, in the preheat phase, is a function of the intake manifold temperature at start
up. (The pre-heat time increases with colder intake manifold temperatures). The maximum duration of
the pre-heat phase is around 30 seconds.
CAUTION
Never use an ether start system in conjunction with the air intake heater.

Operation Manual ITW GSE 4400 Tier 3
Section 2 Preparation for Use, Storage, or Shipping

1) Preparation for use after receipt of unit
a) Inspection/Check
Inspect unit thoroughly prior to operation.
1) Remove blocking, banding, ties, and other securing material.
2) If Tie Down Rings are present, make sure they are secured with both bolts. (Typically one bolt
is used to secure middle blocks to unit during shipping.)
3) Inspect exterior for shipping damage such as broken lights, damaged sheet metal, etc.
4) Slide the canopy open and inspect the interior for foreign material such as rags, tools,
shipping papers, etc.
5) Check fuel, coolant, oil hoses and connections for visible leaks. Visually inspect compartment
floor and ground surface under unit for signs of leakage. Correct any leaks by tightening hose
clamps, tube fitting, etc., as required.
6) Check tightness of generator set retaining components.
7) Check fuel level. (A manual quick reference fuel gauge is located at back of unit. This gauge
is accurate only when fuel level is above 50%.)
NOTE: For recommended fuel specifications, refer to Engine Manufacturers Operation and
Maintenance Manual provided with this manual.
8) Check engine coolant. Remove radiator cap (under hatch on top of operator section) to check
coolant level. Coolant level should be at bottom of filler neck.
CAUTION
Be sure cooling system antifreeze solution is adequate to protect below lowest
temperature expected.
NOTE: For antifreeze protection, use a solution of 50% permanent antifreeze (Ethylene
glycol) and 50% clean water.
Lubricating oil capacity (w/ filter) 2.9 gallons (11 liters)

Coolant capacity system 5 gallons (18.9 liters)
Figure 1-2-1: Engine Oil and Coolant Capacities

9) Check engine lubricating oil level. The oil gauge rod has “H” high-level and “L” low-level
marks to indicate operating lubrication oil supply. Oil level should be kept as near the high
mark as possible, without going over. See Figure 1-2-1 for capacity.
CAUTION
NEVER operate engine with oil level below “L” level or above “H” level mark.
NOTE: See Engine Manufacturer’s Operation Maintenance Manual for oil recommendations.
Oil Fill Cap
Dipstick
Figure 1-2-2: Oil Fill and Oil Level Check Locations
10) Check batteries located inside the right-side cable tray. Inspect batteries for proper
connection of terminals. Service or replace if necessary.

b) Installing Three-Phase AC Output Cables
Figure 1-2-3 Figure 1-2-4 Figure 1-2-5
The generator set may be shipped without aircraft cables. Output cables connect to the load
contactors, which are located at rear of unit. (See Figure 1-2-3)
The conductor size recommended for AC output cables is 2/0 AWG. Use No. 12 AWG for E and F
terminals. Lugs require a minimum 3/8-inch diameter hole to fit into the output contactor. (See
Figure 1-2-4) The E and F wires should be fitted with 16 gauge forks or into a double ferrule and
then inserted into the normally open auxiliary contact block attached to the side of the output
contactor. (See Figure 1-2-5)
AC output cables installation:
1) Remove canopy. (While not necessary, it greatly simplifies the process.)
2) Loosen screws on cable clamps.
3) Route cables through hole in cable tray, through cable clamps up to load side of load
contactor(s).
4) Connect phase cable terminal lugs to appropriate terminal studs on contactor(s): cable lug A
to terminal stud A, B to B, and C to C.
5) Connect cable’s neutral terminal lug securely to neutral (ground) stud on power module
assembly. (See Figure 1-2-4)
6) Connect E and F cables into the auxiliary contact block on side of output contactor.
7) Tighten clamp screws securely, but avoid damage to cable insulation.
8) Replace canopy.

c) Installing DC Output Cable (optional)

1) Remove canopy. (While not necessary, it greatly simplifies the process.)
2) For normal aircraft service, use cable assembly JB2840-30 (which meets Mil-C-7974D
Assembly Specification) with 30 feet of AWG 4/0 cables having a positive and negative
connection.
3) Cable extends through frame via supplied hole in cable tray. (See Figure 1-2-3)
4) Cables connect to output bus bar located on ARU assembly located left rear of unit. (See
Figure 1-2-6)
5) Replace canopy.
Figure 1-2-6
d) Tow Bar Interlock (optional)
1) The Tow Bar Interlock System prevents the towing of the GPU if the cable head(s) are not
stored and will prevent the GPU from delivering power to the Aircraft unless the Tow bar is in
the upright position.
2) Preparation for Storage
A generator set in storage or removed from operation, has special precautions that should be taken to
protect internal and external parts from rust, corrosion, and gumming in the engine fuel system.
a) General
Open battery disconnect switch and disconnect battery negative terminal at battery.
1) The unit should be prepared for storage as soon as possible after being removed from
service.
2) The unit should be stored in a building that is dry and can be heated during winter months.
3) Moisture-absorbing chemicals should be used where excessive dampness is a problem;

however, the unit must be completely packaged and sealed if moisture-absorbing chemicals
are to be effective.

b) Temporary Storage (30 days or less)

1) Lubricate unit completely in accordance with instructions in Chapter 2-2. This will include
changing engine oil, and all filter elements.
2) Start engine and operate a minimum of two minutes so all internal engine components are
coated with new oil. (Note: if unit is operated outside of diagnostic mode, it will run for 30
seconds in cool down mode after stop button is pressed.)
NOTE: Do not drain fuel system or crankcase after this run.
3) Cooling system antifreeze solution must be adequate to protect below lowest temperatures
expected during storage period. Be sure solution is thoroughly mixed.
4) Clean exterior of engine. Dry with clean rags and compressed air.
5) Seal all engine openings. Use water-proof, vapor-proof material strong enough to resist
puncture damage from air pressure changes.
c) Long-Term Storage (Over 30 Days)
To protect the generator and other electrical components, the complete unit should be packaged
using moisture proof packaging and sealing material. Place containers of moisture-absorbing
chemicals in unit before packaging.
From the Cummins 4BT shop manual: long term storage is up to 24 months. Change the oil and
fill with 30W Preservative oil. Then start the engine with clean diesel fuel (the units needs to be
filled with at least 10% or more of fuel in order to start) and then switch fuel lines to a can of
preservative oil (Cummins specifies Dauber Chemical NoxRust # 518). When the preservative oil
is running out the injector return tube turn off the motor and cap ends of fuel return and supply
tubes. Drain 30W preservative oil from crankcase. Add rust inhibitor to the coolant and make sure
that the radiator is full. Spray preservative oil into intake and exhaust ports on cylinder head and
under rocker housing covers. Cover all openings. Do not rotate crankshaft. Drain the fuel tank.
The unit can be stored for long periods without the above preparation if engine can be operated
once a week.
When operating once a week:
1) Make certain the cooling system is adequately protected.
WARNING ENSURE adequate ventilation before starting the engine.
2) Start engine and operate under full load (using a resistive load bank or aircraft) until coolant
temperature has reached a minimum 176ºF (80ºC).
3) While engine is running, ensure normal operating controls are in good working condition
before shutdown and storage. If weekly operation is not possible, contact nearest engine
manufacturer distributor for instructions.
3) Preparation for Shipment
a) Disconnect battery negative terminal before shipping.
b) During long shipments, vibration, jolting, etc may loosen the generator set retaining hardware.
When shipping unit, provide sufficient retaining materials to ensure generator set
CAUTION
cannot roll out or off the vehicle in which it is being transported.
NOTE: It is suggested strong banding is used to secure generator set.

Chapter 2 Service and Troubleshooting

Section 1 Maintenance Inspection/Check
1) General
To make certain the generator set is always ready for operation, it must be inspected and
maintained regularly and systematically so that defects may be discovered and corrected before
they result in serious damage to components, or failure of the equipment.
Warning
STOP operations at once if a serious or possibly dangerous fault is discovered
2) Maintenance Schedule
a) General
A periodic maintenance schedule should be established and maintained. A suggested schedule
is provided in Figure 2-1-1 on the following pages. It may be modified, as required to meet
varying operating and environmental conditions. It is suggested that generator set and vehicle
inspections
be coordinated as much as possible.
b) Maintenance Schedule Check Sheet
It is strongly recommended that the customer use a maintenance schedule check sheet such
as the one in the engine manufacture’s operation manual. The check sheet will provide a record
and serve as a guide for establishment of a schedule to meet the customer’s maintenance
requirements for his specific operation.
c) Time Intervals.
The schedule is based on both hours of operation and calendar intervals. These two intervals
are not necessarily the same. For example, in normal operation the oil change period, based
on hours of operation, will be reached long before the three months calendar period. The
calendar period is included to make certain services are performed regularly when the
equipment is stored, or being operated infrequently. Lubricating oil standing in engines that are
stored, or used very little, may tend to oxidize and may require changing although it is not dirty.
Perform all services on a whichever- comes-first basis.
d) Identification of Interval Periods.
Each interval period is identified by a letter A, B, C, etc. For example, services under B
schedule should be performed at the end of each 250 hours of operation, or every three
months, BR service is performed during the BREAK IN period (first 50-150 hours), G
service is Extended Life (10,000 + hours) and AR service is performed AS REQUIRED.

3) Inspection/Checks
a) General
1) See Chapter 2-2 for detailed maintenance procedures.
2) See Chapter 2-3 for adjustment and test procedures.
b) “AR” Checks and Operations (As Required)
1) Engine
a) Change Air Cleaner
i. Replace the air filter when the “Air Filter Clogged” warning is displayed. These filters
should not be washed because washing breaks down the material inside the filters.
ii. Check and tighten, as required, all coolant hose clamps, air intake hose clamps and
exhaust clamps. Check all coolant hoses, air intake hoses and exhaust pipes for leaks.
b) Electrical System (24 VDC) – Check Battery Terminals
i. Periodically, open the battery compartment panel in the right cable tray and visually
check the battery cable connectors and battery posts. If corrosion is observed,
disconnect the cables and clean battery posts and connectors with a wire brush or
special battery post-cleaning tool. Coat the posts and connectors with a light film of
petroleum lubricant before reconnecting the cables.
c) Electrical (400 Hz System) -- Check Output Voltage
i. Check the output voltage and be sure it is set for 115 VAC ± 1 V. Adjustment can be
made using the Setup menu. (See Chapter 1-3, paragraph 4.1.)
c) “BR” Checks and Operations (Break-In Period, Once After 50-150 hrs.)
The following procedures are precautionary measures taken on most new engines. If a problem
occurs with any of the following issues, be sure to recheck it after the next 50-150 hours.
1) Engine
a) Check for leaks and correct. This involves an overall inspection of the engine and may
require some maintenance if leaks are found. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s
operations manual for assistance.
b) Change all fuel filter elements. Metal shavings from the new fuel tank can clog the filter.
c) Change crankcase oil. New engines often release metal shavings more frequently.
Therefore, the crankcase oil must be changed as a precautionary measure.
d) Change oil filter element. The oil filter should be changed with the oil.
e) Check engine and generator mounts to ensure they are properly installed and they have not
worked loose. (Torque is set at 100 N-m, 73.7 ft-lb.).
f) Check coolant additive concentration. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s operations
manual for assistance.
g) Steam clean the engine to free it of oil and dirt to prevent uneven engine cooling “hot
spots”. The oil and dirt can also fall into the engine and fuel system when covers are
removed during repair work.
h) Inspect the water pump weep hole for indication of a steady leak. If a steady flow of coolant
or oil is observed, replace the water pump with a new or rebuilt unit. Refer to the engine
manufacturer’s operations manual for assistance.

d) “A” Checks and Operations (10 Hours or Daily).
1) Engine.
a) Check Crankcase Oil Level.
CAUTION
DO NOT overfill. DO NOT operate the engine with oil level below the lower bar or
above the upper bar on the dipstick.
i. Check oil level daily with oil gauge dipstick.

ii. Oil level should not be checked until 3 to 5 minutes after engine shutdown. Keep oil level
as near the upper bar as possible.
b) Drain Fuel Lubricity Filter/Pre-Filter Element
The life of the fuel pump and injectors can be extended if the operator drains about a cup
of fuel from the fuel pre-filter element to remove water and sediment before starting the
engine each day.
CAUTION
BE SURE to prime and bleed the fuel system after draining the filters, replacing filter
element, or if the fuel tank has run empty. Failure to do so can cause engine-starting
problems.
i. Provide a container for catching drained fuel.

ii. Open the drain valve on the fuel/water filter by turning it counterclockwise.)
iii. Drain the filter until clear fuel is visible.
iv. Tighten the drain valve.
v. Safely dispose of drained fuel.
vi. Purge air from fuel system if necessary.
c) Check Coolant Level
i. Check coolant level daily or at each fuel fill interval. Investigate for cause of any coolant
loss.
WARNING
Cooling system is pressurized. To avoid personal injury, DO NOT remove radiator
cap when engine is hot.
d) Check for Leaks and Correct

At each daily start-up, check for coolant, fuel, and oil leaks. Coolant leaks may be more
noticeable when components are cold. Observe pumps, hoses, fittings, gasket connections,
etc., for signs of leakage. Correct as required.

Water Drain
Figure 2-1-2 Fuel Lubricity Drain
e) Check Fault Code Meter.

At each daily start-up, observe the fault screen on the display of the control panel. If the
display shows “AIR FILTER CLOGGED”, change the air filter. See Chapter 2-4 for other
fault codes.
f) Check Exhaust System.
Visually inspect muffler and exhaust pipes for rust and signs of approaching failure.
Listen for any gasket or joint leaks.
WARNING
A leaking and defective exhaust system could be a fire hazard.
2) Electrical System (24 VDC)

a) Check All Lights.
Check all indicating lights to be sure they operate when they should. If any light fails to
operate, check the indicator and insure proper power is being given. If power is present and
the light does not activate, replace the light fixture.
b) Check Engine Battery Voltage.
Observe the engine voltmeter each time the engine is started to be sure the alternator is
functioning correctly and charging the batteries. If the batteries need to be replaced, be sure
the replacements meet the specifications for Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and Reserve
Capacity.
c) Check the operation of all the engine indicators.

3) Electrical (400 Hz System).

a) Check Output Cables and Connector.
Check the output cable and plug connection for damaged insulation and contacts each time
the connector is detached from the aircraft.
b) Monitoring sensors.
Verify that the voltage, amps and frequency readings are displaying correctly (use up and
down arrows) each time the unit is started.
e) “B” Check and Operations (250 Hours or 3 Months).
1) Engine.
a) Prevent Diesel Engines Wet Stacking.
All diesel engines operated for extended periods under light load may develop a condition
commonly referred to as wet-stacking. This condition results from the accumulation of
unburned fuel in the exhaust system. It is recognizable by fuel oil wetness around the
exhaust manifold, pipes, and muffler along with an excessive amount of soot.
Wet-stacking is common, and can be expected in diesel engines operated under light loads.
Light loads do not allow the engine to reach the most efficient operating temperature for
complete combustion of fuel and will also increase the fuel consumption rate. The unburned
fuel collects in the exhaust system to create the wet condition known as wet-stacking.
To alleviate wet-stacking in lightly loaded engines, it is recommended that the machine be
connected to a load bank after each 250 hours of use and operated under full rated load for
one hour. This will burn away and evaporate the accumulation of fuel and soot in the exhaust
system. This clean-out procedure should be considered as a regular maintenance operation
for machines operated under light loads.
b) Charge-Air-Cooler and Piping.
i. Inspect the charge-air-cooler for dirt and debris blocking the fins. Check for cracks,
holes, or other damage.
ii. Inspect the pipes and hoses for leaks, holes, cracks, or loose connections. Tighten
the hose clamps if necessary.
c) Check and record oil pressure.
After each oil change, check and record oil pressure at operating speed after oil has
warmed to approximately 140º F. Record oil pressure under identical conditions at each
oil change interval. A comparison of pressure at idle speed with previous readings will
give an indication of progressive wear of oil pump, bearings, shafts, etc. Investigate any
abnormal change in pressure readings.

d) Check Radiator Core and Hoses.

i. Inspect the radiator core for dirt and debris blocking the fins. Clean as necessary.
Check for cracks, holes, or other damage.
ii. Check Fuel Pump.
iii. Inspect the fuel injection pump mounting nuts for loose or damaged hardware. (2)
Electrical (24 VDC system).
NOTE: The battery furnished with this generator set is MAINTENANCE FREE. Check battery terminals and
clean if necessary.
a) Check the operation of the E-F bypass system.
f) “C” Checks and Operations (500 Hours or 6 Months)
1) Engine.
a) Check Engine and Generator Mounts
CAUTION
An unstable or loosely mounted engine can create hazardous environment and may
damage equipment.
i. Engine mount bolts must be torqued to 100 N-m (73.7 ft-lb.).

ii. Generator mount bolts must be torqued to 100 N-m (73.7 ft-lb.).
b) Change oil and oil filters.
c) Change all fuel filters.
d) Check Coolant Additive Concentration.
The cooling system protective liquid (nitrite-, amine- and phosphate free) provides
effective protection against corrosion, cavitation, and freezing. See engine
manufacturer’s operation manual for ordering and mixture details.
2) Electrical (24 VDC system).

a) Wiring.
i) Inspect all cables and leads for worn or damaged insulation.
b) Connections.
i) Inspect connectors for damaged or corroded condition.
a) Protective Monitoring Circuits.

or oil is observed, replace the water pump with a new or rebuilt unit. Refer to the engine
manufacturer’s operations manual for assistance.
f) Drain and Inspect Fuel Tank
Annually drain the fuel tank and inspect it for dirt, debris or Diesel fuel “algae”. Clean the
tank if necessary. (See Chapter 2-2, section 5.f)
h) “E” Checks and Operations (1500 Hours or 1.5 Years)

1) Engine.
a) Steam Clean Engine.
There are several reasons why the engine exterior should be kept clean. Dirt on the outside
will enter fuel and oil filter cases and rocker housings when covers are removed, unless dirt
is removed first. A clean engine will run cooler and develop fewer hot-spots. Steam
cleaning is one of the most satisfactory methods of cleaning and engine; however, there are
some CAUTIONS to be observed.
WARNING

Figure 2-2-1: Lubrication and Maintenance Chart
WARNING
STOP all operations at once if a serious or dangerous fault is discovered.

2) Lubrication
a) General
Proper lubrication is one of the most important steps in good maintenance procedure. Proper
lubrication means the use of correct lubricants and adherence to a proper time schedule.
Lubrication points, frequency of lubrication, recommended lubricants and filters are indicated in
Figures 2-2-1 and 2-2-2.
This section incorporates the engine maker’s, engine lubrication recommendations from their
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
b) Lubrication schedule
Time schedules indicated on the Maintenance Schedule, Figure 2-2-1, are approximate and
based on average operating conditions. It may be necessary to lubricate more frequently under
severe operating conditions such as: low engine temperatures, high oil temperatures, or
intermittent operation. However, time intervals should not exceed those indicated in the chart
without careful evaluation.
c) Oil specification
The engine lubricating oil that is recommended by the engine manufacturer is identified by an API
(American Petroleum Institute) classification designation. The manufacturer does not recommend
any specific brand of lubricating oil.
The use of quality lubricating oil, combined with appropriate lubricating oil drain and filter change
intervals, are important factors in extending engine life.
Use oil specification API CF-4, HT/HS Viscosity 3.7cP minimum.

Oil Type Oil recommended for the diesel engines in this application is API Class CCMC.
Refer to the manufacturer’s operation manual.

d) Changing engine oil

Change the oil once after the first 50 - 150 hours of use and then every 500 hours of engine
operation thereafter. The generator set is equipped with an hour meter to record actual engine
operating time.
The ideal time to change engine oil is soon after a power delivery run, when the engine is at
operating temperature. If lubricating oil is drained immediately after the unit has been run for
some time, most of the sediment will be in suspension and will drain readily.
Change the oil filter element each time the oil is changed.
CAUTION
 High ash oils may produce harmful deposits on valves that can cause valve
burning.
 Do not use solvents as flushing oils in running engines.
 Always use clean containers, funnels, etc.
Oil Fill
Dipstick
Figure 2-2-3: Oil Fill and Check Locations

Change oil as follows:

1) Provide an open container for catching the old oil below the oil drain plug. Container capacity
must be greater than 30 quarts (28.4 liters).
2) The oil drain tube can be found by the
muffler at the front of the unit.
3) Remove the drain cap (older models or
turn the valve handle.
4) While oil is draining, change the oil
filter element. See instructions below.
5) Provide a container for catching spilled
oil from the filter.
6) Remove the oil filter by turning it counter-clockwise
and inspecting it.
7) NOTE: The gasket can stick to the filter head. Make sure it is removed before installing a
new filter.
8) Fill the new filter with clean lubricating oil before installation.
9) Apply a light coating of lubricating oil to the gasket-sealing surface and install the filter. DO
NOT over tighten the filter.
10) Clean the drain cap and install when engine oil has completely drained or close the drain
valve.
11) Refill the engine with new, clean oil that meets engine manufacturer’s recommendations. Use
the oil fill tube by the filter or the oil fill opening at the top of the engine.
CAUTION
Remember to close the drain cap and install the new oil before starting the engine.
12) Start engine and check oil pressure at once. Allow engine to run for 5 minutes, check for
leaks then stop the engine.
13) After the engine has been stopped for about 5 minutes, recheck the oil level. Add oil, if
required, to bring the level up to the high bar on the oil dipstick.
CAUTION
If bearing metal particles are found on the element or in the shell, the source should
be determined before a failure.
WARNING
STOP operations at once, if a serious or possibly dangerous fault is discovered.

e) Engine Accessories Lubrication
1) Alternator
Most alternators contain sealed bearings and require no periodic lubrication, however,
check to make certain there are no lubrication points on your particular alternator.
2) Starter
Most starting motors are lubricated at assembly and should be re-lubricated only when
the starter is removed and disassembled, however, inspect the starter to make certain it
has no lubrication points.
3) Water Pump
The water pump is packed at assembly and requires no periodic lubrication. Replace
pump if signs of lubricant leakage are found.
4) Fan Pulley
The fan hub is also lubricated at assembly and requires no periodic lubrication. Replace
hub if lubricant is leaking.
f) Trailer Lubrication
1) Wheel bearings
Inspect each wheel bearing annually to ensure that there is sufficient grease in the
assembly.
2) Fifth Wheel Hub Bearings

5) Replace the end cover and rotate it to the locking position.
6) Push the yellow latch back in to lock the cover.
c) Disposal
Normal trash pick-up should be acceptable. NEVER burn the air filter for disposal.

4) Engine Fuel
a) How to select Fuel—Quality
The quality of fuel oil used in the diesel engine is a major factor in engine performance and life.
Fuel oil must be clean, completely distilled, stable and non-corrosive.
CAUTION
Due to the precise tolerances of diesel injection systems, it is extremely important that
the fuel be kept clean and free of dirt or water. Dirt or water in the system can cause
severe damage to both the injection pump and the injection nozzles.
CAUTION
The use of low lubricity fuels can shorten life and/or damage the engine’s fuel pump.
The engine manufacturer recommends only diesel fuel.
Use commercially available diesel fuel with less than 0.5% sulfur content. If the sulfur content is
higher than 0.5%, oil change intervals should be reduced (See engine manufacturer’s operation
manual).
In general, fuels meeting the properties of ASTM designation D 975 (grades 1-D and 2-D) have
provided satisfactory performance. For more information regarding the selection of fuel to use,
refer to publication “Engine Requirements—Lubricating Oil, Fuel, and Filters” available from
authorized engine maker’s service outlets.
b) Cold Weather Operation
In cold weather, diesel fuel will form wax crystals, which can restrict flow and clog filters. Fuel oil
suppliers approach this problem several ways. Some provide a specially refined product, while
others may use flow-improving additives or winter blends. Winter blended fuel will likely contain
kerosene or 1-D fuel, which provide good cloud point temperatures, but result in a lighter fuel with
a lower heat content. These fuels may be used, but they may result in reduced engine power
and/or increased fuel consumption.
In most cases, adequate resistance to cold can be obtained by adding an additive. For further
assistance contact the nearest engine manufacturer’s service representative.

5) Engine Fuel System

The fuel system consists of five primary components: fuel tank, lubricity filter, primary fuel filter, fuel lift
pump, and the fuel return line. The following are maintenance procedures for each of these items.
a) Fuel Tank
Be sure that no foreign objects are permitted in the fuel tank. The fuel tank must be removed and
flushed out if objects are found in the Fuel Water Separator or Lubricity Additive Filter.
b) Fuel Water Separator or Lubricity Additive Filter
A lubricity fuel filter, which is also a fuel/water separator, is mounted in the generator
compartment above the fuel tank outlet. The filter’s function is to add a lubricant to the fuel to
help prolong the engine seals and fuel pump life when fuels other than diesel are used (i.e., jet
fuel). The filter also removes foreign material and removes both free and emulsified water from
the fuel before it enters the fuel lift pump. Daily draining of the filter is required.
Replacement Filter Element:

 286897-031
Drain the water daily.
Change the filter after every

500 hours of operation.
Water Drain
Figure 2-2-5: Lubricity Filter
1) To drain the water:

a) Open drain valve.
b) Drain accumulated water and contaminants.
c) Close drain valve.
The lubricity filter must be changed every 500 hours of operation for the fuel filter to continue
adding the proper amounts of the lubricity additive into the fuel system.

2) To change the lubricity filter:
CAUTION
When installing new element, do not over tighten it; mechanical tools may distort or
crack filter head.
a) Place a pan underneath the fuel filter to catch spilled fuel.
b) Shut off fuel valve.
c) Drain off some fuel by opening the drain valve.
d) Undo fuel filter with commercial tool and spin off.
e) Clean any dirt from the filter carrier rim
f) Apply a light film of oil or diesel on the rubber seal on the new filter.
g) Fill new filter with diesel fuel.
h) Screw in the new fuel filter “snug”.
i) Check that the cartridge is seated correctly against the gasket and tighten with a final
half turn.
j) Make sure that all rags, or absorbent sheets, are clear of moving engine parts and
cannot be drawn in to the radiator fan.
k) Open fuel valve.
l) Start the engine and check for leaks. Correct as necessary with the engine off.
c) Primary Fuel Filter
A primary fuel filter is mounted above the engine starter in the engine compartment. The filter’s
function is to remove foreign material from the fuel before it enters the fuel lift pump.
Replacement fuel filter part number:

 286897-036
Change the fuel filter after every 500
hours of operation.
Figure 2-2-6: Primary Fuel Filter

1) To change the fuel filter:

a) Shut off fuel valve.
b) Place a pan underneath the fuel filter to catch spilled fuel.
c) Undo fuel filter with commercial tool and spin off.
d) Catch any fuel.
e) Clean any dirt from the filter carrier rim
f) Apply a light film of oil or diesel on the rubber seal on the new filter.
CAUTION
When installing new element, do not over tighten it; mechanical tools may distort or
crack filter head.
CAUTION
Make sure that all rags, or absorbent sheets, are clear of moving engine parts and
cannot be drawn in to the radiator fan.
g) Fill new filter with diesel fuel. Screw in the new fuel filter “snug”. Check that the
cartridge is seated correctly against the gasket and tighten with a final half turn.
h) Open fuel valve.
d) Fuel Pump
The fuel pump supplies high pressure to the fuel system so the diesel fuel can circulate freely.
This engine is equipped with a common rail fuel system that is under very high pressure. DO NOT
attempt to crack fuel lines.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to crack fuel lines. This engine is equipped with a common rail fuel
system that is under very high pressure. Failure to follow this guideline could result in
injury or death.
e) Fuel Return
The fuel return is a fuel line (tube) that takes unused fuel from the engine, and delivers it to the
fuel tank. No maintenance is required.
f) Fuel Level Indicators
There are two fuel level indicators in the unit; a mechanical dial indicator on the back of the unit
that is only accurate when the fuel tank is above 50% full and is for the use of the refueler, and an
electronic sensor in the fuel tank that is used to display the actual fuel level on the operator’s
screen.

g) Draining the Fuel Tank

1) The fuel tank should be drained and cleaned out annually, when the various fuel filters
start to become excessively fouled and before storing the unit for long periods of time.
2) Before draining the fuel tank, we recommend pumping at least 90% of the fuel out of the
tank (use the operator display to determine the amount of fuel remaining). The fuel tank
has two 1/8” NPT fittings with thread sealant on them that are accessible under the trailer,
once it is lifted up. (Use a 7/16” wrench or socket to remove the fitting.)
3) Once the tank is fully drained, verify that there is no debris in the bottom of the tank on
either side. If any dirt, material or build up exists inside the tank, flush with diesel fluid to
remove the foreign material.
4) Use the following procedure to re-install the fittings:
a) The proper method of assembling tapered threaded connectors is to assemble them
finger tight, then wrench tighten to the specified number of turns from finger tight. The
following assembly procedure is recommended to minimize the risk of leakage and/or
damage to components.
i. Inspect components to ensure that male and female port threads and sealing
surfaces are free of burrs, nicks and scratches, or any foreign material.
ii. Apply sealant/lubricant to male pipe threads if not pre-applied.
b) With any sealant, the first one to two threads should be left uncovered to avoid
system contamination. If PTFE tape is used it should be wrapped 1-1/2 to 2 turns in
clockwise direction when viewed from the pipe thread end. (Caution: More than two
turns of tape may cause distortion or cracking of the port.)
c) Screw the connector into the port to the finger tight position.
d) Wrench tighten the connector to 1.5 - 3 turns past finger tight. Never back off (loosen)
pipe threaded connectors to achieve alignment.
e) If leakage persists after following the above steps, check for damaged threads and
total number of threads engaged.
f) If threads on the fitting are badly nicked or galled, replace the fitting. If port threads
are damaged, re-tap, if possible, or replace the component. If the port is cracked,
replace the component.
g) Normally, the total number of tapered threads engaged should be between 3-1/2 and
6. Any number outside of this range may indicate either under or over tightening of
the joint or out of tolerance threads. If the joint is under tightened, tighten it further but
no more than one full turn. If it is over tightened, check both threads, and replace the
part which has out-of-tolerance threads.

6) Engine Cooling System

a) General
Cooling system service requires more than maintaining the proper coolant level in the radiator
and protecting the system against freezing. Water should be clean and free of any corrosive
chemicals such as chloride, sulfate, and acids. It should be kept slightly alkaline with a pH value
in the range of 8.0 to 9.5. Any water, which is suitable for drinking, can be used in the engine
when properly treated as described in engine maker’s operation manual. The engine maker’s
representative should be consulted regarding the selection of satisfactory brand, permanent-type
antifreeze for use in the cooling system.
b) Radiator Cap
1) General
A pressure relief valve is built into the radiator cap. It is designed to open at a pressure of
approximately 15 psi (103.4 Kpa).
WARNING
When removing cap from a very hot radiator, DO NOT turn cap past safety stop until
the pressure or steam has escaped.
2) Removal
To remove, turn the cap to the left (counterclockwise) to the safety stop. When all pressure is
released, press down on the cap and continue to turn until the cap is free to be removed.
CAUTION
Allow engine to cool before adding coolant.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to repair the valve in a radiator cap in case of failure. Replace with a
new cap.
3) Installation
When installing the cap, be sure it is turned clockwise as far as it will go so that the pressure
retaining valve will be functional.
c) Coolant
The preparation and maintenance of the coolant solution is important to engine life and is
completely covered in the engine manufacturer’s operation manual. For information regarding
coolant specifications, testing equipment, antifreeze, etc., refer to engine maker’s operation
manual that accompanies the equipment’s manual or consult the local engine maker’s
representative.

CAUTION
Never use soluble oil in the cooling system.
1) General.
A permanent type antifreeze is recommended for use in the cooling system.
CAUTION
1. DO NOT use methanol or alcohol as antifreeze.
2. DO NOT mix brands or type of antifreeze. A solution containing two or more types
of antifreeze is impossible to test accurately.
2) Selecting antifreeze.
a) Select a permanent type antifreeze known to be satisfactory for use with chromate
corrosion resistor.
b) When it is not known if the antifreeze is satisfactory for use with chromate resistor, check
with local engine manufacturer’s representative for a list of compatible antifreezes.
(3) Checking antifreeze solution.
Check the solution with a reliable tester when in doubt about antifreeze protection.
d) Draining the Cooling System
To completely empty the cooling system requires draining the radiator assembly. Follow these
steps to drain the cooling system:
1) Remove radiator cap.
2) Place a drain pan with at least a 40 quarts (28.4 liters) capacity under radiator to catch
coolant.
3) Remove the front grill to access the hose & valve. Place the drain hose into the drain pan.
4) Open the radiator drain valve.
5) Allow the system to drain completely.
NOTE: Be sure the drain valve doesn’t clog during draining.
6) When the system is completely drained, close the drain valve and coil the
hose back up.
7) Replace the front canopy cover.
e) Flushing the Cooling System
Flushing the cooling system should be a yearly maintenance procedure. By flushing the system,
clean water is forced through the engine block to remove expired coolant and other contaminants.

f) Cleaning the Radiator Core

Blow out accumulated dirt from the radiator core air passages, using water. Bent or clogged
radiator fins often cause engine overheating. When straightening bent fins, be careful not to
damage the tubes or to break the bond between fins and tubes.
NOTE: Direct the water in a reverse direction to normal air flow. Normal flow on this installation
is from the engine compartment out ward.
g) Filling the Cooling System
The preparation and monitoring of coolant in liquid-cooled engines is especially important
because corrosion, cavitation, and freezing can lead to engine damage. For coolant system
protection details see the engine manufacturer’s operations manual.
1) Install coolant
a) Remove radiator cap. Be sure the radiator drain valve is closed (Front panel must be
removed to access this location).
b) Pour coolant into radiator very slowly until it reaches the bottom of fill neck. Allow time for
trapped air to escape from the system then continue filling until the coolant level remains
at the bottom of the fill neck.
c) Start the engine and bring up to rated speed and allow the thermostat to open. Add
coolant as trapped air escapes from the system and the coolant level falls.
d) Continue to check coolant level until all trapped air escapes. Add coolant if needed to fill
to the bottom of fill neck. Install radiator cap.
2) Inspection/Check
a) Check system for evidence of leaks.
b) Inspect all hoses. Install new hoses as necessary. Tighten hose clamps as required.
c) Check the condition of fan and water pump belts. Replace belts if necessary.
NOTE: It is good practice to attach a card, indicating the cooling system contents and date
serviced, to the radiator filler neck.
h) Thermostat
The thermostat should be checked each fall, or as required. Refer to engine manufacturer’s
operations manual for recommended instructions.

7) Engine Drive Belt

a) General
The engine cooling fan, alternator, and water pumps are driven by one serpentine belt, which
must be replaced if worn or damaged.
b) Preparation for Belt Check and Adjustment
All driven assemblies must be securely mounted in operating position before checking belt
tension.
c) Checking Belt Tension
WARNING
DO NOT Check belt tension with engine running
Check belt tension every 1000 hours, or once year, whichever comes first. A belt that is too tight
is destructive to bearings of the driven part. A loose belt will slip and cause inefficient operation of
the part being driven as well as wear to the belt.
CAUTION
Inspect and replace the belt if it has unacceptable cracks, is frayed, or has pieces of
material missing.
Belt tension may be checked by manually depressing the belt with an index finger to determine
the amount of belt deflection obtained. When a force is applied at a point halfway between
pulleys on the longest span of a belt, there should be no more than 1/2 inch of deflection attained.
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s operation manual for checking belt tension and changing worn
belts.
8) Generator Maintenance
The 400 Hz generator requires no maintenance or service other than periodic cleaning. The unit
is brushless and has bearings that are permanently lubricated and sealed.
a) Cleaning
The generator may be cleaned by careful use of compressed air and/or a good, SAFE
commercial cleaner. Steam cleaning of the generator is not recommended because the use of
steam and harsh chemical compounds may result in damage to insulation and other generator
components.
WARNING
Never use solvents as this is a fire hazard
b) Adjustment
The generator itself requires no adjustment. Adjustment procedures for generator controls are
covered in Section 2-3.

9) Replacing the Control Board Battery

Before removing the Control Board and to avoid any static discharge to the Control Board during
the replacement of the battery, please take ESD (Electro Static Discharge) precautions.
* Important Note!
Before you remove the battery from the holder, make sure that the replacement battery is within reach, as

displayed. Red lamp on display should flash.
4) Reset Output 1 by pressing Output 1 button again. Display should resume normal operation
with no faults.
5) If Output 2 is not available, skip to g) below.

e) Output 2 Verification:
1) Make sure that the EF switch is in the ON position on the load bank and turn on Output 2.
Contactor must close and indicator on the display illuminate.
2) Verify 'ABC' phase rotation at the load bank.
3) Turn the EF switch OFF on the load bank and verify that contactor opens and fault is
displayed. Red lamp on display should flash.
4) Reset Output 2 by pressing Output 2 button again. Display should resume normal operation
with no faults.
f) Sensor Testing:
1) At rated speed, restrict the air cleaner intake to 5% of the normal inlet area. Blocked Filter
warning shall appear with amber light flashing on display. Remove Restriction. Fault will reset
automatically. (The left arrow will need to be pressed to remove it from the screen.)
2) Disconnect “Low Coolant” switch connector located on the top of the radiator and start your
stopwatch. Verify Low Coolant Warning (amber) occurs in less than 1 minute.
3) Reconnect the low coolant switch and put on top canopy. Clear Low coolant warning by
pressing the engine button.

g) Re-checking the entire unit after testing:
1) Start the engine. With the engine running at normal rated speed, check the entire unit for
vibration and for any parts that may have become loosened during the above checks.
Tighten any loose hardware as required.
2) Check engine oil pressure at rated speed (2000 RPM). The oil pressure gauge should
indicate at least 44.9 psi (3.1 bar) when engine is hot. Also at rated speed, check the engine
coolant temperature. The temperature gage should indicate in the range of 180°F to 190°F
(82ºC to 88ºC), depending upon operating conditions.
WARNING
If a metal sounding rod is used to detect bearing noises, exercise extreme care to
avoid injury from moving components.
3) Check 400 Hz generator bearings. Use a stethoscope or metal sounding rod to listen for
unusual noises. If using a metal rod, place on end on the generator housing and hold the
other end near the ear. Hold the rod with three fingers and use the index finger and thumb to
form a sounding chamber between the rod and the ear. Do NOT allow the rod to touch the
ear. Listen for grinding or pounding sounds, which would indicate a defective bearing. An
engine noise may be telegraphed to the generator and misinterpreted as a generator noise.
Contact the equipment manufacturer if in doubt of bearing serviceability.
3) Generator Set Adjustment
a) Generator Adjustment
The 400 Hz generator is a brushless type requiring no adjustments of any kind.
For the following adjustment, the generator set must be running at rated speed (2000 RPM),
under no-load conditions. Adjust the regulator as follows:
1) Output Voltage Adjustment
a) Adjust Voltage Control
The output voltage, at which the generator is regulated, is adjustable using the “Output
Voltage screen in the Setup Menu. (See Chapter 1-3, Paragraph 4.1)
Observe the output voltage using a true RMS multimeter. Set the output voltage at 115
VAC line-to-neutral (200 VAC line-to-line).
b) Adjust Line-Drop Compensation
Adjustment of line-drop compensation is made using the “Output 1 (or 2) Compensation”
screens in the Setup Menu. (See Chapter 1-3 Paragraph 4.2 & 4.3) To adjust the line-
drop compensation, proceed as follows:
i. Connect the generator set output cables to a load (typically a load bank). Load the
generator set with the largest available three-phase load of rated power factor not
exceeding the maximum rating of the generator set. (i.e. 72 kW for a 90 kVA at 0.8
pf generator)
ii. Measure the output voltage at the load end of the cables as you increase the load
from zero to the maximum full load rating of the unit. If the voltage at the end of the
cable rises or drops more than 1%, decrease or increase the line-drop
compensation until the regulation is flat (115 VAC line-to-neutral).

b) Basic Engine Adjustments
Adjustment procedures applicable to the diesel engine are included in the engine manufacturer’s
operation manual, which is referenced in Chapter 5. Refer to the engine operation manual for
detailed information on the following engine adjustments.
NOTE: A stroboscope is required for engine idle speed checks.
Engine idle speed (for non-EU engines) is programmed at the factory. If adjustment is required,
contact the local engine distributor. The recommended idle speed is 1000 RPM, +/- 25 RPM.
The speed limiting adjustment is also set and sealed at the Cummins factory. Speed should be
limited to approximately 2350 RPM. If adjustment is required, contact your local engine
distributor.
c) Engine Accessories Adjustment
Alternator and fan belt adjustment: Refer to Section 2-1 and engine manufacturer manual.
4) Generator and Exciter Test
The generator fields and exciter stator may be tested with a Kelvin bridge. This is a double-bridge
type instrument required for the very low resistances encountered in this test. It is understood that
zero (0) resistance indicates a SHORTCIRCUITED condition. An infinite resistance reading indicates
an OPEN CIRCUITED condition.
a) Disconnect generator stator leads at the back of the unit.
b) Disconnect the two black exciter field leads (Connector J6/P6) that is located under the back right
corner of the unit.
c) Check resistance and compare to values.
Test Connection Resistance (Ohms)
Generator Stator Phase A to N (G1)* 0.0026
Generator Stator Phase B to N (G1)* 0.0026
Generator Stator Phase C to N (G1)* 0.0026
Exciter Stator Field (L2) 29
A - B, B - C, C - A Exciter Armature (G2) 0.041
Generator Revolving Field (L1) 2.1
*NOTE: The two leads of a phase must be connected when the test is made. Take
readings when the unit is cold and in an ambient temperature of 70 ºF (21ºC.).

Figure 2-3-2: Generator Connections
5) Diode Test
Test values for diodes are not given here because they could be misleading. Test values may vary
even between diodes of the same part number, rating, and manufacturer. General instructions for
testing diodes are as follows:
a) Disconnect exciter windings from diode lead(s).
NOTE: Use a good quality ohmmeter or multimeter. Verify that the instrument is set on its lowest
scale. Make certain the battery is in good condition and for analog meters that the pointer is adjusted
to zero when the test leads are shorted together.
b) Hold one ohmmeter lead point on the threaded end of the diode. Hold the other lead point on the
wire terminal end. Observe and note the indicated resistance. Now reverse the lead connection
on the diode. Observe and note the ohmmeter indicated resistance. If an infinite or very high
resistance was indicated with the leads connected one way and a low, readable resistance was
indicated with the leads connected the opposite way, the diode may be considered good.
6) Testing the Active Rectifier Unit (ARU) (for units with the DC option)
The 28.5 VDC ARU is an optional add-on to the GPU. The following test procedures may be used for
testing the ARU following repair, or for just checking performance.
a) Preparation for Testing
1) Connect the ARU to a DC load bank.
2) Start the GPU per the operating procedures in Chapter 1, Section 3.

b) Operational Test Procedure
1) Power Delivery
a) Press “28 VDC” pushbutton to close the DC output contactor. The green “DC OUTPUT”
LED will glow indicating that DC power is being delivered to the load bank.
b) Using a calibrated multimeter, measure the DC voltage at the load bank with no load. The
voltage should be 28.5 VDC.
c) Place a 600 Amp load on the GPU. The measured DC voltage at the load bank should
still be 28.5 VDC. Observe the DC voltage and amps on the output screen of the display
for accuracy.
d) If the full load voltage reading is more than 0.5 VDC from the desired output voltage
(typically 28.5 VDC) then adjust the line drop compensation using the “28V
Compensation” screen in the Setup menu. (See Chapter 1-3 Paragraph 4.18)
2) Discontinue Power Delivery
Press “28 VDC” pushbutton to open the DC output contactor. The green LED will turn off,
indicating that DC power has been removed from the load bank.
3) Current Limiting / Soft Start Control
The Current Limit default value is set using the “28V Current Limit” screen in the Setup
Menu (See Chapter 1-3 Paragraph 4.19). To change the value for the current aircraft (and this
test), use the RIGHT and LEFT navigation buttons when the diesel is running, the 28VDC
ARU is NOT on and the “default” operator screen is displayed. The current limit settings are
from 200 amps to 1600 amps for the 400 Amp version of the unit and from 400 amps to 2400
amps for the 600 Amp version.
a) Start the diesel engine.
b) Once the engine has stabilized at its running speed, use the Right or Left navigation
buttons to set the current limit to 1400 amps.
c) Press the “28VDC” pushbutton to close the contactor to apply the load to the load bank.
d) Press the “Engine Test” switch on the load bank. Verify that the current never exceeds
1400 amps.
e) Press “28 VDC” pushbutton to open the DC output contactor. The green LED will turn off,
indicating that DC power has been removed from the load bank.

Section 4 Troubleshooting Procedures

1) General
The Troubleshooting Chart located in this section covers the common faults and malfunctions that can
be found during operation or maintenance of this equipment. The chart may not list all faults and
malfunctions that can occur. If a fault or malfunction is not listed in the chart, start looking for the
cause at the source of power in the affected circuit. Refer to the schematic and connection diagram in
Chapter 5. Test the circuit systematically until the source of the malfunction is isolated.
The Troubleshooting Chart is arranged by Error code, Error text, Description and then four columns of
possible corrective actions. Always try the 1st corrective action before proceeding to the next
corrective action.
WARNING
Exercise extreme care to avoid contact with high voltage leads and components.
HIGH VOLTAGE CAN KILL!
CAUTION
Maintenance personnel must be very careful when performing terminal-to-terminal
checks to be certain the proper terminals are being used, especially when using
jumper leads. Damage to electrical components may result from the application of
improper voltage and current.
2) Equipment for Troubleshooting

A good quality multimeter is the only instrument required for troubleshooting. At least two jumper
leads with alligator, or similar clips, will be required. The engine electrical system can be used as a
24 VDC power source.
3) Parts Replacement
To lessen down time and get a faulty machine back on line as quickly as possible, the black box
concept of parts replacement is reflected in the Troubleshooting Chart. For example, if a component
on a control box board is defective, the quickest way to remedy the situation is to replace the
complete board and send the old to stock.
4) Normal Operational Parameters

The system specifications, which are listed in Chapter 1-1, provide useful information when
troubleshooting abnormal operation. The Protective System Specifications and Normal Operating
Characteristics provide information about how the generator set should be operated.

5) Check Connections and Leads

ALWAYS check connections and leads to a component suspected of being faulty. Generally, it is
assumed that connections and wiring have been checked first and that power has not been lost as a
result of defective wiring or connections.
6) Engine Troubleshooting
Remember that the ability of the engine to start and run properly depends upon the following:
 An adequate supply of 24 VDC power reaching a good starter and control board
 An adequate supply of air, compressed to a sufficiently high pressure
 The injection of the correct amount of clean fuel at the proper time
7) GPU Control Monitoring

The GPU control system performs complete diagnostic testing and continuous monitoring of all critical
circuits and operating electrical values. If the control system senses a problem with one of the circuits
or if any of the electrical values exceeds its safe operating limit, the control system will shut the GPU
down, or may allow the GPU to continue operation depending on the severity of the condition.
a) Operating Modes
1) Self-Test Mode
When power is first applied to the control circuit, the GPU performs complete self-diagnostics
of the internal circuitry. If a fault is detected during the self-test, the Alert/Failure LED will be lit
and the first (if there are more than one) failure will be displayed on the LED display.
2) Engine Run Mode
When the ENGINE pushbutton is pressed, the blue power indicator LED and the Operating
Beacon will start flashing. The starter will engage when the engine is ready. After the engine
reaches its idle speed (1800 rpm) the GPU is ready to supply power to the aircraft. (Note that the
engine will make three 15 second attempts to start the engine. If the engine doesn’t successfully
start after the third attempt, the fault LED will be lit and an Engine Start Failure message will be
displayed.)
3) Engine Shutdown Mode
Pressing the ENGINE pushbutton starts the 5 minute delayed shutdown period. If any output
contactors are closed, they will open and the display will start counting down from 300 seconds.
The shutdown period is required to cool the engine’s turbocharger.
4) Automatic Engine Shutdown
Automatic Shutdown mode will turn off the engine after 10 minutes when all contactors are
open or if they are closed and the total generator current is less than 5 amps. (This timer is
internal and not visible.) After 10 minutes, it puts the engine in shutdown mode. (All
contactors are opened and the generator is no longer regulating voltage.) A visible 300
second timer is displayed and the engine will turn off when the timer expires. The Automatic
Engine Shutdown mode is changed in the Setup menu and the choices are enabled or
disabled.
5) Engine Stop Mode
After the 5 minute delayed shutdown period, the engine stops running.
6) System Off Mode
The power is removed from the GPU’s entire control system when the battery disconnect is
opened.

b) Faults
Faults result when any of the fault limits are exceeded, an internal problem, or under certain
conditions where an injury to personnel or damage to an aircraft or the GPU could occur. Faults
are also stored in the Black Box memory as event records. (See Chapter 1-3 Paragraph 4.0.3)
The fault limits and conditions are preset at the factory.
1) Warning
Warning faults have no effect on the operation of the GPU. An example is an intake air
restriction fault due to a dirty filter. Although the GPU continues to operate, the fault LED is lit
and the fault text appears on the display. Pressing the Engine pushbutton or shutting down
the GPU resets the fault.
2) Run Mode
Run mode faults remove power form the aircraft but do not change the operating speed of the
engine. An example is an over voltage fault. Although the contactors open and remove
power from the aircraft, the engine remains at rated speed, the fault LED is lit and the fault
text appears on the display. Pressing the Engine pushbutton or shutting down the GPU
resets the fault.
3) Stop Mode
Stop mode faults remove power form the aircraft and shut the engine down. An example is a
low oil pressure fault. The contactors open and remove power from the aircraft, the engine
shuts down, the Alert/Failure LED is lit and the fault text appears display. Pressing the
Engine pushbutton or shutting down the GPU resets the fault.
8) Cummins Engine Fault Codes & Trouble Shooting
The best source of information to aid in trouble shooting Cummins engine issues is at the
quickserve.cummins.com website. Go to this website and register up to five engine serial numbers for
free. (It is recommended that if you have more than one engine type/size, that you register one serial
number per type/size.) Once you are registered, this website gives you access to engine information,
troubleshooting assistance by fault code, parts information and service bulletin information for each
serial number/engine type that you have registered with the site.
9) Error Codes
If the displayed text does not provide sufficient information to solve the problem, the tables on the
next pages suggest corrective actions to be carried out for each error code.
Additional error information regarding the output voltage and overload, can be derived from the
error code according to the following directions:
Output Voltage: 30xx / 31xx / 35xx

Overload: 40xx / 41xx / 42xx / 43xx / 44xx / 45xx / 46xx / 47xx
Phase code:
xx01 = Phase A xx05 = Phase A & C
xx02 = Phase B xx06 = Phase B & C
xx03 = Phase A & B xx07 = Phase A, B & C
xx04 = Phase C
Examples: Error Code 3501 refers to “Output Voltage Too Low” at phase A.
Error Code 4407 refers to “Overload I > 300% - 1 sec.” at all 3 output phases.

optional equipment.

This page is intentionally left blank.

Appendix A Active Rectifier Unit (ARU)

All ITW GSE 4400 units can be equipped with a 28 VDC Active Rectifier Unit (ARU) output.
Both 400 Hz & 28 VDC outputs can be used simultaneously. The total continuous amount of power from
the unit is calculated as the sum of 400 Hz and 28 VDC output and cannot exceed the total 400 Hz power
rating of the unit.
A.1 General Description
A-1-1 Principle of 28 VDC ARU

The 28 VDC module is an Active Rectifier Unit which is supplied from the 400 Hz generator, where the 28
VDC output voltage is controlled regardless of the 400 Hz output voltage. The DC output current is
calculated very precisely on the basis of the 400 Hz parameters using the current transformer T20,
located on phase A at the power input.
Input Contactor (Q3):
The 400 Hz input power to the ARU is supplied and controlled via Q3. When this contactor is closed, 28.5
VDC power is supplied to the aircraft.
Power Supply (PS1):

The power to the ARU control board (A20) is isolated from the unit using a DC/DC power supply (PS1)
which is rated at 24 VDC / 1 A. This module receives its power from the PC1 interface board, terminal X42.

ARU Transformers (T20):

The ARU transformers steps down the 3 phased 400 Hz voltage (3 x 200 Vac) to an appropriate level for
obtaining 28 VDC at the output.
ARU Rectifier (PM20):
The output voltage is kept at 28 VDC by using thyristors, regardless of the input voltage level and the
load.
ARU Board (A20):
The ARU Board interfaces with the processor board and the rest of the 28 VDC unit.
 Supplied from PS1 (X2)
 Connection to ARU control input on A2 (X1)
 Control of thyristors.
 Measures the output voltage.
 Opens and closes the 400 Hz Input Contactor Q3
 Interface for heatsink thermostat (X5)
 Input for current transformer T20 (X6)
Resistor (R20):
The discharge resistor R20 is part of the output filter stage and discharges the capacitor C20, when the
unit is turned off.
Filter Capacitors (C20)
The output filter capacitors are also part of the output filter stage and secures that the AC ripple is kept to
a minimum, less than 2% at the output.
Fan (M20)
The fan M20 is part of the total forced cooling of the unit, the primary task for the fan is to cool down the
rectifier module.
A.2 Connection of Cables
Fig. A-2-1 Connection of Cables
Recommended output cable to the aircraft is 2 x 4/0 (95 mm²) for continuous loads up to 400 amps (as
shown above) and 4 x 4/0 (95 mm²) for higher continuous loads.

A.3 Safety Interlock

To ensure personnel health and safety, the converter is equipped with an interlock system. * The system
ensures that the output only stays engaged while the plug is inserted into the aircraft receptacle. (28 VDC
must be present at terminal strip TB3 lug 5.)
*This option requires a “split-C” connector, which is typically a special order from most aircraft cable
manufacturers.

A-3-1 Standard wiring diagram

For service, maintenance and test purposes, the interlock system can be by-passed via the display setup.
To ensure personnel health and safety, the converter automatically returns into normal mode once it
receives a 28 VDC voltage at terminal TB3-5. (e.g. when the plug is connected to an aircraft.)
Note! The interlock will not work correctly unless the negative busbar has a connection to the ground
block. (The ARU comes equipped with this connection already made, but it might have been removed to
meet other requirements.) If the interlock is not going to be used, a minimum of an 18AWG wire should be
connected from the + busbar to Terminal 3 lug 5 (wire 34).
A.4 Operator’s Instruction
 To adapt the 28 VDC output power to different types of aircraft, it is possible to set a maximum DC
current level in selectable steps of 50, 100, 200 and 300 A. The actual step size is selected in the
Setup Menu.
 NOTE! The unit remembers the last current limit value that was selected. Make sure this
value is not too high for the aircraft being powered.

Appendix D Initial Software Installation Procedure

RR
Introduction:
The ITW GSE 4400 GPU contains two circuit boards that may need to be programmed if they are
replaced. (The Control Board (P/N AP-579526) and the Display Board (P/N AP-579536).
This document instructs you how to perform this task. Make sure to program the boards with the correct
software number and revision. Install the Control Board software first, then the Display Board software.
First time programming of the Control Board (P/N AP-579526):

1) Make sure the Control Board is installed onto the Interface Board (P/N AP-279534), and the GPU
is powered.
2) Copy the correct Control Board software onto a USB stick. The file must be located in the root
folder of the USB stick, and the filename must be XXXXX.itw. Other files, e.g. the Display Board
software, may also be on the USB stick.
3) Inspect the blue LED next to the USB socket on the Control Board. The blue LED must be
flashing in a sequence of two rapid flashes, then a pause, then two rapid flashes, and so on.
4) Insert the USB stick into the USB socket on the Control Board. Check that the blue LED turns off.
Wait until the blue LED turns on (this may take some time).
5) When the blue LED turns constantly on, the software has been programmed into the Control
Board. Remove the USB stick from the Control Board.
If the blue LED is constantly on, the Control Board has already been programmed. Use the update
function on the Display Board to program the Control Board. (The Display Board must be programmed
first)
If the blue LED is flashing slowly in a sequence of one flash, a pause, one flash and so on, the
microcontroller on the Control Board has lost its internal programming, most likely due to a faulty or
missing battery. Contact ITW GSE technical support and request a replacement control board.
First time programming of the Display Board (P/N AP-579536):
1) Make sure that switch 1 on DIP-switch SW2 is in the ON position. This allows access to the
Display Board menu.
2) Copy the correct Display Board software onto a USB stick. The Display Board software consists
of two files: a XXXXX.itw file, and a file like AAxxxxxx.pbe, where xxxxxx is a number.
3) Do not change the filenames. The two files will only work together.
4) The files are located in the root folder of the USB stick. Other files, e.g. the Control Board
software, may also be on the USB stick.
5) Insert the USB stick into the USB socket on the Display Board.
6) Press and hold the center navigation key on the GPU to access the update function.
7) Press the center navigation key again to confirm the software update.
8) Wait for the software update to complete. Press the center navigation key when instructed to
reset the Display Board.
9) If the software update does not complete, start over from step 4.
Verify the software is installed correctly.
1) Hold the center navigation key to access the menu on the Display Board.
2) Access the Parameter Info, and navigate up/down to the Unit Information page.
3) Verify that the display reports the expected software number and revision for both Display Board
(Display FW) and Control Board (Control FW).

RRRPossible issues that may be encountered during this procedure:

 Error 201 ”CRITICAL”: Memory Error. Call Technician”.
This is caused by the Control Board being unable to read the GPU configuration from the EEprom
Board (P/N 579.533). The error should disappear after the configuration step. If the error persists
even after configuring the GPU (remember to save), the EEprom Board may be defective.
 Error 250 ”Update Failed”. This is caused by an issue that may happen during the Display Board
software update. Perform the software update again.
 The Setup Tool is unable to connect to the GPU. Using the Display Board menu, make sure the
GPU Ethernet settings are set correctly. The correct settings are:
o Ethernet mode: Manual

o IP Address: 192.168.1.100
o Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
o Gateway: No significance
o DNS 1: No significance
 The displays shows a ”COMMUNICATION ERROR” screen.

This is caused by a failure in CAN-bus communication between the Control Board and the Display
Board, usually because the Control Board is not programmed or has halted its execution. Check
for faulty/un-programmed Control Board (flashing blue LED), and replace or program if necessary.
Check that the cable from the Display Board to the Interface Board is fully seated at both ends,
and try restarting the GPU. If the issue persists, try replacing the Control Board even if the blue
LED is not flashing.
 The unit can’t detect the USB stick or read any files on it. Reformat the USB stick using the below
procedure and then copy the needed files back into the root folder.
1. Insert the USB stick into a computers USB port.
2. Open the File Explorer window and right click on the drive for the USB stick.
3. select, ‘Format…’.

4. Set File system to FAT32 and make sure that Quick Format is NOT clicked. Press start.
(The USB should function without issue after the format is complete. This may take several minutes to
complete on larger drives. )
5. Copy the files into the root drive and it is ready.
