2 Description of the product
2.1 Intended Use and Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse
The machine is a mobile, skid-mounted mobile generator. The Eco Power Equipment CIPR unit consists of
a trailer or skid with a gaseous generator, a control panel, and a sheet metal enclosure. As the engine
runs, the generator converts mechanical energy into electric power. Receptacles are present to power
auxiliary loads. The operator uses the control panel to operate and monitor the machine, with the digital
display showing all operating characteristics.
This machine is intended for prime rated power requirements and has been designed to operate 24/7.
This machine is also intended for the purpose of supplying electrical power to connected loads. Refer to
the product specifications for the output voltage and frequency of this unit, and for the maximum
output power limit of the Generator.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described above. Using the
machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the machine or seriously injure the operator
or other persons in the area. Machine damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
Connecting a load that has voltage and frequency requirements that are incompatible with the machine
output
Overloading the machine with a device that draws excessive power during either continuous running or
start-up
Operating the machine in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, provincial and local codes and
regulations
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the machine and in the
Operator’s Manual
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest Canadian safety standards. It has
been engineered to eliminate hazards as far as practicable and to increase operator safety through
protective guards and labeling. However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have
been taken. They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:
8

Heat, noise, exhaust, and carbon monoxide from the engine
Multiple heat sources: Engine, alternator end, etc
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
Electric shock and arc flash
Gaseous Fuel and its fumes
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the safety information
presented in this manual before operating the machine
Gasoline, natural gas and LPG are combustible!
gases, and can be explosive if leaked and contained in a confined area. Keep cigarettes and all other
flame sources away from these areas.
If you can hear a fuel leak, shut off the fuel supply at the source immediately and fix the leak or have it
serviced. Check the entire fuel supply line from the cylinder/tank to the engine for leaks with a soapy
water bubble mixture anytime a cylinder/tank is changed or the fuel supply line is worked on. Fuel leaks
should also be checked as part of the regular engine maintenance.
Depending on your engine and fuel system configuration, your engine is designed to run on natural gas
and/or vapor LPG. The fuel requirements for each are discussed below. See the "SPECIFICATIONS"
section for the required fuel supply pressures for each fuel.
Natural Gas
Your engine is certified to run on "pipeline-quality natural gas". EPA defines pipeline-quality natural gas
as being supplied by a pipeline and being composed of at least 70% methane by volume or having a
heating value of 950-1100 BTUs per cubic foot. If your natural gas supply does not meet these
specifications, your engine is considered to be being operated as a non-certified engine. See "U.S. EPA
Legal Requirements" at the front of this manual.
LPG
In order to maintain emissions compliance and the engine warranty, use commercial-grade HD-5 or
better LPG, the unit is designed to run on vapor, do not connect liquid source.

2.5 Setup Process
The setup and deployment process involved for the CIPR generator involves locating the machine on a
level, suitable terrain, connecting earth ground and fuel source, and connecting electrical distribution.
Before using the unit, be sure to read and understand all of the instructions. This equipment was
designed for specific applications; DO NOT modify or use this equipment for any application other
than which it was designed for. Equipment operated improperly or by untrained personnel can be
dangerous.
Before starting visually inspect the unit for leaks or damage. A complete visual inspection of all
engine, generator, and power distribution connections
Quick Setup Guide:
1. Inspect the engine, intake, exhaust, cooling system, to verify that the engine is fully assembled
and not in the process of being serviced.
2. Ensure the engine is free to turn without obstruction.
3. Check that all safety guards are in their correct position and secure.
4. Check that the coolant level in the radiator overflow bottle is between "Add" and "Full".
5. Check that the oil level on the dipstick is between "Add" and "Full".
6. Check that the fuel supply is connected, shut-off valves are open, and there are no leaks.
7. If an LPG fuel system is being used, verify that there is fuel in the cylinder/tank.
8. If a natural gas fuel system is being used, verify that the correct fuel supply pressure is being
supplied to the engine.
9. Read and understand ALL safety sections at the beginning of this manual.
10. Ensure all maintenance procedures are up to date.
11. Ensure unit is set up on firm and level ground, with the area around the generator clean
12. Ground unit in accordance with local grounding requirements through ground lug connection on
the distribution panel, the unit ground is marked with the IEC 60417, No 5019 ground symbol
13. Warn personnel on site of pending startup
14. Connect the fuel source in accordance with local guidelines and safety requirements, note, we
recommend that the fuel pressure is checked during each initial startup and new site
commisioning, it is essential that primary, secondary or vaporizer regulators are tuned and set
for this equipment (7-11” WC inlet pressure, even under load)
15. Ensure main and secondary circuit breakers are in the OFF or Green position
16. Check engine oil and coolant levels, visually inspect the engine for leaks, inspect belts, electrical
connections and wiring out the generator enclosure
17. Inspect all electrical connections; repair or replace any that are cut, worn, or bare. This includes
inspecting cords external to the generator connected to the load-use safe electrical practices in
accordance with local guidelines and best practices
19

18. Ensure battery connections are secure
19. Check the engine fan belt tension and condition. (See engine manual for tension requirements)
20. Check the engine fan belt guard.
21. Check the engine exhaust system for loose or rusted components.
22. Turn ON the DeepSea control power switch
23. To initiate the cranking/run sequence press the manual button, then the green “Start” button
once the DSE module has loaded
24. Verify voltage and frequency are correct before turning on the main circuit breaker, this machine
is designed to operate at 120/240v Single Phase, 60 Hertz.
25. Turn on the secondary circuit breakers as required, note if you are not utilizing the secondary
distribution it is recommended to leave these breakers in the off position during normal
operation
WARNING:
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the generator is properly and safely positioned at the
location.
DANGER:
Entering the electrical compartment while equipment is in operation can result in death or serious injury.
