DP7500/A GENERATOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATORS MANUAL WINCO INC. 225 S. CORDOVA AVE. LE CENTER, MN 56057 507-357-6821 SERVICE DEPT. 507-357-6831 www.wincogen.
TABLE OF CONTENTS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2 TESTING POLICY 2 SPECIFICATIONS 3 GENERATOR ENGINE SAFETY INFORMATION ANSI SAFETY DEFINITIONS This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator. Read and understand all instructions in the manual before starting and operating the generator. USING THIS MANUAL Congratulations on your choice of a WINCO generator.
SPECIFICATIONS CAUTION: CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. Model DP7500/A Starting Watts 7,500 Running Watts 6,720 Volts 120/240 Amps 56/28 1. ELECTRICAL SHOCK - GENERATOR The output voltage present in this equipment can cause fatal electric shock. This equipment must be operated by a responsible person.
PLEASE NOTE There are 3rd party companies making enclosures for generators that have been properly engineered. The use of these 3rd party enclosures is acceptable as long as they have been certified and meet current code. 5. CLEANLINESS Keep the generator and surrounding area clean. A. Remove all grease, ice, snow or materials that create slippery conditions around the unit. B. Remove any rags or other materials that could create a potential fire hazard. C.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE Running the generator set under these conditions may result in damage to the generator stator as well as the motor winding. NOTE: This engine generator must be on a level surface before you check or add oil to the system. The necessity of using the correct oil and keeping the crankcase full cannot be overemphasized. Engine failures resulting from inadequate or improper lubricant are considered abuse and not covered by the generator or engine manufacturer’s warranty.
LIFTING EYE INSTALLATION The use of fuel additives, such as Sta-Bil, or an equivalent will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits. If a unit has been out of operation for an extended period of time, it is best to drain old fuel from the engine and replace with fresh fuel before attempting to start. The lifting eye is shipped loose along with a bag of parts. Install the base of the lifting eye below the middle support. See diagram below.
STARTING HINTS 4. Operate the starter. Pull the starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly in the direction of the arrow as shown below. Return the starter grip gently. 1. COLD WEATHER A. Use the proper oil for the temperature expected. B. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade gasoline is blended to improve starting. Do not use summer grade gasoline. 2. HOT WEATHER Note: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT OVERLOAD Keep the generator load within in the generator and receptacle nameplate rating. Overloading may cause damage to the generator and/or the loads. slight decrease in speed, together with the voltage drop within the generator itself, results in a slightly lower voltage when the generator is loaded to its full capacity than when running no load. The slight variation in speed also affects the frequency of the output current.
1. These engine-generator sets are designed for portable heavy duty commercial use. Receptacles are provided on the control panel to permit 120 and 240 Volt portable appliances and tools to be plugged directly into them. A 4-wire receptacle (two hot, one ground, and one neutral) has been provided on the control panel for use in temporary power applications requiring 120/240 Volt power. Consult a licensed electrician for wiring the TemPower plug and connecting it as temporary service. 2.
The Oil Alert system will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. This type of damage is not covered under warranty. 5. Install the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely. 3. Place the O-Ring in the fuel valve and install the sediment cup. Tighten the sediment cup securely. 4. Move the fuel valve to the ON position, and check for leaks.
1. Keep the air inlet screen on both the engine and generator free of any dirt or debris to ensure proper cooling. At least yearly, remove the blower housing on the engine and clean the chaff and dirt out of the engine cooling fins and fly wheel. Clean more often if necessary. Failure to keep these areas clean may cause overheating and permanent damage to the unit. TROUBLESHOOTING 2. Periodically clean muffler area to remove all grass, dirt, and combustible debris to prevent a fire. 3.
