INDUSTRIAL PORTABLE INSTALLATION AND OPERATORS MANUAL WT3000H WC5000H WC6000H WC6000HE WINCO INC. 225 S. CORDOVA AVE. LECENTER, MN 56057 507-357-6821 SERVICE DEPT.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS COPY YOUR MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER HERE This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and battery. Read and understand all instructions in the manual before starting and operating the generator set. No other WINCO generator has the same serial number as yours. It is important that you record the number and other vital information here.
SAFETY INFORMATION 2. FIRE HAZARD Gasoline and other fuels present a hazard of possible explosion and/or fire. This engine generator set has been designed and manufactured to allow safe, reliable performance. Poor maintenance, improper or careless use can result in potentially deadly hazards; from electrical shock, exhaust gas asphyxiation, or fire. Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation or use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference.
e. Always avoid hot mufflers, exhaust manifolds, and engine parts. They can cause severe burns instantly. f. The use of the engine-generator set must comply with all national, state, and local codes. 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. TESTING POLICY DO NOT attempt to operate at 50 cycles.
The heavy surge of current required for starting motors is required for only an instant. The generator will not be damaged if it can bring the motor up to speed in a few seconds of time. If difficulty is experienced in starting motors, turn all other electrical loads off and if possible reduce the load on the electric motor. STARTING ELECTRIC MOTORS Electric motors require much more current (amps) to start them than to run them.
For your safety always connect the positive battery cable to the “bat+” terminal first. Then connect the negative battery cable to the “bat-” terminal. Make sure all connections are clean and tight. Reverse the sequence when disconnecting, disconnect the negative cable first. These engines produce enough direct current to keep a battery charged under normal operating conditions, but were not intended to be used as a battery charger. GASOLINE When using gasoline always use a good grade of unleaded fuel.
occur during operation, the float will ground out the magneto impulse, “killing” the engine. To get the engine started, you must add the required amount of oil to the engine crankcase. Use of the float system on applications that are subject to shock, bumping or severe angles of operation (in excess of 15 degrees) should be avoided. This is especially true if an unexpected shutdown would cause a safety hazard or serious inconvenience for the operator.
minimizes the drain on the battery and improves the possibility of starting under such adverse conditions. Always keep the battery charged, especially during cold weather operation. c. While the engine is warm, drain the oil and refill with fresh oil. d. Remove the spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (15 cc) of engine oil into the cylinder and crank slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug. e Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder head fins, blower housing, screen and muffler areas.
The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage and frequency. For normal usage, the speed setting should not be changed. If the generator is being run continuously on a very light load, it is often advisable to lower the operating speed slightly. Whenever making any speed adjustments check the unit with a voltmeter or tachometer and be sure the speed is correct. will automatically adjust itself to the load.
3-wire 240 volt receptacle. 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. To connect these units directly to an un-powered, isolated construction site TemPower panel, have your electrician connect to the control panel using a 120/240 volt, 4-wire twist-lock plug (L14-30P).
Reassemble cover and screw down tight. Replace the cartridge included with Dual Element Air Cleaner yearly or every 100 hours. Service more often if necessary. 5. Spark Plug: Clean and reset gap at .030” every 6 months or 100 hours of operation. Do not blast clean spark plug. Clean by scraping or wire brushing and washing with a commercial solvent. Poor spark will occur if terminal does not fit firmly on spark plug. If this happens reform the terminal to fit firmly on spark plug tip. 6.
