PAGE 8 — DA7000SSA3 GENERATOR• OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (02/13/19)
SAFETY INFORMATION
ENGINE SAFETY
DANGER

The engine fuel exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. This gas is colorless and odorless, and can
cause death if inhaled.

The engine of this equipment
requires an adequate free
flow of cooling air. NEVER
operate this equipment in
any enclosed or narrow area
where free flow of the air is
restricted. If the air flow is
restricted it will cause injury to people and property and
serious damage to the equipment or engine.
WARNING

DO NOT place hands or fingers inside engine
compartment when engine is running.

NEVER operate the engine with heat shields or
guards removed.

Keep fingers, hands hair and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury.

DO NOT operate generator with doors
open. Stop the engine before servicing.

DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the
engine is hot. High pressure boiling water
will gush out of the radiator and severely
scald any persons in the general area of
the generator.

DO NOT remove the coolant drain plug while the engine
is hot. Hot coolant will gush out of the coolant tank and
severely scald any persons in the general area of the
generator.

DO NOT remove the engine oil drain plug while the
engine is hot. Hot oil will gush out of the oil tank and
severely scald any persons in the general area of the
generator.

Operation of the generator may create sparks that
can start fires around dry vegetation, A spark arrestor
may be required. The operator should contact local fire
agencies for laws or regulations relating to fire prevention
requirements.
CAUTION
NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold,
muffler or cylinder. Allow these parts to cool
before servicing equipment.
NOTICE
NEVER
run engine without an air filter or with a dirty air
filter. Severe engine damage may occur. Service air filter
frequently to prevent engine malfunction.
NEVER tamper with the factory settings
of the engine or engine governor. Damage
to the engine or equipment can result
if operating in speed ranges above the
maximum allowable.

Wet stacking is a common problem with diesel engines
which are operated for extended periods with light or
no load applied. When a diesel engine operates without
sufficient load (less than 40% of the rated output), it will
not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow
unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system,
which can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and
exhaust system, including turbochargers, and reduce
the operating performance.
In order for a diesel engine to operate at peak efficiency,
it must be able to provide fuel and air in the proper ratio
and at a high enough engine temperature for the engine
to completely burn all of the fuel.
Wet stacking does not usually cause any permanent
damage and can be alleviated if additional load is
applied to relieve the condition. It can reduce the system
performance and increase maintenance. Applying an
increasing load over a period of time until the excess
fuel is burned off and the system capacity is reached
usually can repair the condition. This can take several
hours to burn off the accumulated unburned fuel.

State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources
Codes specify that in certain locations, spark arresters
must be used on internal combustion engines that use
hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed
to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified
and rated by the United States Forest Service for this
purpose. In order to comply with local laws regarding
spark arresters, consult the engine distributor or the
local Health and Safety Administrator.

DA7000SSA3 GENERATOR• OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (02/13/19) — PAGE 17
INSTALLATION
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Install the generator in an area that is free of debris,
bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the
generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide
or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so
that the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of
nearby homes.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and
grounding.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to
engine and alternator parts.
INDOOR INSTALLATION
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely
poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the
exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine
should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall.
Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can
cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine
to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.
MOUNTING
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation
(such as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to
isolate vibration of the generator when it is running. The
generator must be mounted at least 6 inches above the floor
or grade level as referenced in the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA 110, Chapter 7, section 7.4) handbook.
DO NOT remove the metal skids on the bottom of the
generator. They are to resist damage to the bottom of the
generator and to maintain alignment.
CAUTION
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the
generator inside tunnels and caves.The engine exhaust
contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be
routed to a ventilated area.
GENERATOR GROUNDING
If applicable, to guard against electrical shock and possible
damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good
EARTH ground, (Figure 3).
Article 250 (Grounding) of the NEC handbook provides
guidelines for proper grounding and specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the
generator to earth ground.
a. Copper
b. Aluminum
2. When grounding of the generator (Figure 3) is required,
connect one end the ground cable to the ground lug
on the generator. Connect the other end of the ground
cable to the ground rod (earth ground).
3. NEC Article 250 specifies that the earth ground rod
should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
NOTICE
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) and the National Electrical Code (NEC)
recommend that if the generator is providing electrical
power to a structure (home, office shop, trailer or
similar) it must be connected to a grounding electrode
system, such a driven ground rod (Figure 3).
NOTICE
ALWAYS check with State, Province, District and
Municipalities for electrical grounding requirements
before using generator.
NOTICE
Reference Conductor Grounding Table, Article 250
of the NEC handbook for proper conductor wire size.
Wire size is determined by the maximum amperage of
the generator.
NOTICE
When connecting the generator to any buildings
electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed
electrician.

Engine Protection System
Engine protection fail safe features are provided in the event
of low oil pressure, high coolant temperature and failure of
the battery to charge. If any of the above conditions occur
while operating the generator it will cause a complete unit
shut down.
Battery Charge Alarm
This unit is equipped with a protective shutdown device
that signals the emergency relay and automatically stops
the engine when loss of charge from the engine alternator
occurs. An indicator lamp will be displayed on the control
panel.
Water Temperature Alarm
This unit is equipped with a temperature switch that signals the
emergency relay and automatically stops the engine when the
temperature of the engine coolant becomes abnormally high.
The coolant temperature switch will not function properly if
the machine is operated with less than the proper amount
of coolant.
Oil Pressure Warning Alarm
This unit is equipped with an oil pressure switch that detects
low oil pressure. If the lubricating oil pressure of this unit
should become abnormally low, the oil pressure switch
signals the emergency relay to shutdown the engine. If
this condition should occur, please refer to the engine
troubleshooting table in this manual.
Idle Control Switch
The DA7000SSA3 generator is provided with an automatic
idle (engine) control capability for noise suppression and
fuel cost reduction. The automatic idle control feature
automatically engages under a no-load condition when the
switch is in the ON position.
With AC loads of more than 100W (such as lighting
equipment, motor-powered tools, submersible water
pumps, etc.), the engine runs at high speed.When a no load
condition is produced, the engine automatically slows down.
Turn the idle control switch to the “ON” (up) position when
AC loads drawing more than 150W are connected. Turn
the idle control switch to the “OFF” (down) position when
AC loads drawing less than 100W or when a magnetic
switch is used.
Excitation System
The DA7000SSA3 generators use a brushless exciter to
create rated output electricity. This system will use the
mechanical energy generated by the 3600 RPM engine
to spin the rotor (or armature) inside the generator (or
alternator end).
Excitation current is sourced from the battery to the
excitation winding in the stator. Current applied to this coil
creates a magnetic field. The rotating armature within the
stator is then induced with AC current.
Engine
The DA7000SSA3 generator is powered by a water-cooled,
4-cycle KUBOTA diesel engine. This engine is designed
to meet every performance requirement of the generator.
Reference Table 2, engine specifications.
In keeping with Multiquip's policy of constantly improving
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject
