Light, compact and clean power...
New Environmentally Clean Engine
Meets all EPA and CARB emissions standards. The
environmentally friendly engine is also equipped with
an oil cooler that insures proper engine lubrication
and cooling in installations with high ambient air and
cooling water temperatures.
Compact for Tight Installations
The new 3.8BCDT is powered by a one-cylinder
diesel engine and is designed for optimum perfor-
mance where space is limited. Its compact design
allows it to be installed in spaces most generators
can’t fit while providing enough power to run our
17,000 BTU Rotary Aire marine air conditioner.
Water Cooled AC Generator
The AC generator is enclosed in a water-cooled
stainless steel jacket. This allows the 3.8BCDT
greater sound deadening since larger openings in the
sound shield are no longer required for air-cooling.
The water-cooled jacket is oversized which
eliminates blockages and provides a maximum flow
of cooling water around the generator. The water
jacket also cools the air going through the rotor of the
generator, the engine combustion air and the
unit-mounted controls for the engine and generator.
User Friendly Remote Control Panel
The standard plug-in remote control panel is
designed to be user friendly and provides the
operator with all the necessary information and
controls to use the generator. The panel includes
one-touch start/stop controls, automatic shutoffs with
indicating lights for low oil pressure and high engine
temperature, a battery charge indicator light and an
AC load indicator.

Standard Features
Redesigned, Quieter Sound Enclosure
The sound guard is recently redesigned with an
added layer of insulation to further diminish sound.
The sound enclosure is constructed of fiberglass
lined with high-density acoustic insulation for opti-
mum sound reduction. A double mounting system,
engineered for maximum vibration isolation, is
incorporated in the sound enclosure.
