DCA-180SSK TOWING  
ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chain to bumper of towing  
vehicle.  
Towing Safety Precautions  
CAUTION:  
ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional,  
backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected and working  
properly.  
Check with your county or state safety  
towing regulations department before  
towing your generator.  
Remember the maximum speed unless otherwise posted for  
highway towing is 45 MPH. Recommended off-road towing  
is not to exceed 10 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.  
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting  
the generator on public roads, always make sure the trailer  
(Figure 1) that supports the generator and the towing vehicle  
are in good operating condition and both units are  
mechanically sound.  
Place chocked blocks underneath wheel to prevent rolling,  
while parked.  
Place support blocks underneath the trailer's bumper to  
prevent tipping, while parked.  
The following list of suggestions should be used when towing  
your generator:  
Use the trailer's hand winch to adjust the height of the trailer,  
then insert locking pin to lock wheel stand in place, while  
parked.  
Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle  
are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle  
weight rating" (GVWR).  
Avoid sudden stops and starts.This can cause skidding, or  
jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve  
gas milage.  
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear.NEVER  
tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains  
etc.  
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.  
Remove wheel stand when transporting.  
DO NOT transport generator with fuel in tank.  
Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and  
trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

DCA-180SSK TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES  
Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts  
Tires and wheels are a very important and critical  
components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the  
trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are  
properly matched.  
CAUTION:  
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a  
wheel. DO NOT install in inner tube to  
correct a leak through the rim. If the rim  
is cracked, the air pressure in the inner  
tube may cause pieces of the rim to  
explode (break off) with great force and  
cause serious eye or bodily injury.  
Suspension  
The leaf suspension springs and associated components  
(Figure 4) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles for  
signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and  
loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts  
(suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components  
as detailed in Table 3.  
Tire Wear/Inflation  
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.  
Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO NOT  
bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation  
pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life  
and tread wear.  
Table 2 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the  
causes and solutions of tire wear problems.  
CAUTION:  
NOTE  
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing  
or installing force fitted parts. Failure to comply  
may result in serious injury.

The DCA-180SSK generator is equipped with the state of  
the art "Open-Delta" excitation system. The open delta  
system consist of an electrically independent winding wound  
among stationary windings of the AC output section.  
Ignition Key Switch  
MPEC Module (on some models)  
There are four connections: A, B, C and D. During steady  
loads, the power to the AutomaticVoltage Regulator (AVR)  
is supplied from the parallel connections of A to B, A to D,  
and C to D.These three phases are rectified and are used as  
the current for the exciter section.  
Generator Control Panel  
The “Generator Control Panelis provided with the following:  
Output Voltage Adjustment Knob  
Frequency Meter (Hz)  
AC Ammeter (Amps)  
AC Voltmeter (Volts)  
Ammeter Change-Over Switch

During a heavy load, such as motor starting, the AVR  
switches the configuration of the Open-Delta to the series  
connection B to C.This has the effect of adding the voltages  
of each phase to provide better voltage response during heavy  
loads.  
Panel Light Switch  
Pilot Lamp  
The connections of the AVR to the AC output windings are  
for the sole purpose of sensing. No power is required from  
these windings.  
Output Terminal Panel  
The open-delta design provides virtually unlimited excitation  
current due to its independent power supply offering maximum  
motor starting capabilities. The excitation does not have a  
"fixed ceiling" and responds according the demands of the  
required load.

DCA-180SSK — GENERAL INFORMATION (OPTIONS)  
CAUTION :  
Engine  
The DCA-180SSK is powered by a 4 cycle, water cooled,  
turbocharged KOMATSU Model SA6D108E-2 diesel gasoline  
engine.This engine is designed to meet every performance  
requirement for the generator. Reference Table 7, page 25  
for engine specifications.  
ALWAYS unplug the jacket water heater  
before servicing.  
There is a bleed screw on the valve on the engine block.  
After service of either the heater or the cooling system, it is  
possible to create an air bubble in this area. The air bubble  
would prevent hot water created by the jacket water heater  
from circulating, if the air bubble were not allowed to escape.  
This bleed screw allows for the bleeding process to be  
accomplished.  
In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving  
its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to  
change without prior notice.  
The basic controls and indicators for the DCA-180SSK  
generator are addressed on the following pages.  
Mechanical Governor System  
The mechanical governor system control the RPM of the  
engine. When the engine demands increase or decrease,  
the mechanical governor system regulates the frequency  
variation to 1.0%. The electronic governor option  
increases frequency variation to 0.25%.  
Battery Charger (OPTIONAL)  
The battery charger will operate in a ‘BOOST’ mode until  
the battery’s current acceptance falls to 70% of the  
charger’s rating. The charger will then go into a ‘FLOAT’  
mode, where it discharges a lower voltage until an AC  
failure, or the battery is discharged.  
Electronic Governor System  
The electronic governor system is made up of two parts, an  
electronic controller that monitors frequency variation as the  
load increases and decreases and an electronic actuator  
that controls the engine throttle. The frequency is regulated  
at 0.25 to help protect sensitive equipment.  
FuelWater Separator  
The fuel water separator separates water mixed in the  
fuel. It has an indicator to let the operator know to drain  
the water. See maintenance section for instructions how  
to drain water from separator.  
JacketWater Heater (OPTIONAL)  
The jacket water heater is a 1500-watt heater designed to  
keep the coolant from freezing in the engine block. The  
heater is thermostatically controlled and once an acceptable  
engine temperature is achieved it will cycle on and off,  
operating only about 1/3 of the time. This becomes a very  
energy efficient option compared to a direct immersion block  
heater. It is designed to keep the engine between 100 and  
120 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not a throwaway heater. It  
is completely serviceable.  
In normal conditions, 20 to 15 minutes is all that is required  
to raise the engine temperature of a cold engine to 100  
degrees Fahrenheit.

DCA-180SSK — INSTALLATION  
CAUTION :  
Outdoor Installation  
Install the generator in a location where it will not be exposed  
to rain or sunshine. 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 the exhaust will not be  
discharged in the direction of nearby homes.  
An electric shock may happen when  
vibrators are used. Pay close attention  
to handling when operating vibrators and  
always use rubber boots and gloves to  
insulate the body from electrical shock.  
Generator Grounding  
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.  
To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to  
the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH  
ground.  
Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC)  
provides guide lines 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.  
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive  
materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to the  
engine parts and the alternator.  
NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following  
grounding requirements:  
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.  
1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the  
generator to earth ground.  
a. Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.  
b. Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.  
2. When grounding the generator (Figure 27) connect the  
ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on  
the generator and tighten the nut fully.Connect the other  
end of the ground cable to earth ground.  
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.  
3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground  
rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.  
NOTE  
When connecting the generator to  
any buildings electrical system  
ALWAYS consult with a licensed  
electrician.

DCA-180SSK — PRE-SETUP  
General Inspection Prior to Operation  
Circuit Breakers  
The DCA-180SSK generator has been thoroughly inspected  
and accepted prior to shipment from the factory. However,  
be sure to check for damaged parts or components, or loose  
nuts and bolts, which could have occurred in transit.  
To protect the generator from an overload, a 3-pole, 500 amp,  
main circuit breaker is provided to protect the UVW output  
terminals from overload. In addition two single-pole, 20 amp  
GFCI circuit breakers are provided to protect the GFCI  
receptacles from overload.Three 50 amp load circuit breakers  
have also been provided to protect the load side of the  
generator from overload. Make sure to switch ALL circuit  
breakers to the "OFF" position prior to starting the engine.  
Extension Cable  
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or  
loads at some distance from the generator, extension  
cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow  
for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage  
drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held  
to a minimum. Use the Cable Selection Guide (Table 10)  
as a guide for selecting proper cable size.  
NOTE  
ALWAYS consult with a licensed  
electrician for correct extension  
cord wire size.

DCA-180SSK — PRE-SETUP  
Fuel  
Lubrication Oil  
Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing  
fuel. Fill the fuel tank with clean and fresh diesel fuel. DO  
NOT fill the tank beyond capacity.  
Fill the engine crankcase with lubricating oil through the filler  
hole, but do not overfill. Make sure the generator is level.  
With the dipstick inserted all the way, but without being screw  
into the filler hole, verify that the oil level is maintained  
between the two notches (Figure 28) on the dipstick. See  
Table 11 for proper selection of engine oil.  
The fuel tank cap must be closed tightly after filling. Handle  
fuel in a safety container. If the container does not have a  
spout, use a funnel. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.  
CAUTION :  
Never fill the fuel tank while the engine is  
running or in the dark. Diesel fuel spillage  
on a hot engine can cause a fire or  
explosion. If diesel fuel spillage occurs,  
wipe up the spilled fuel completely to  
prevent fire hazards.  
Coolant  
Use only drinkable tap water. If hard water or water with  
many impurities is used, the inside of the engine and radiator  
may become coated with deposits and cooling efficiency  
will be reduced.  
Figure 28. Engine Oil Dipstick  
An anticorrosion additive added to the water will help prevent  
deposits and corrosion in the cooling system. See the engine  
manual for further details.  
When checking the engine oil, be sure to check if the oil is  
clean and viscous. If the oil is not clean, drain the oil by  
removing the oil drain plug, and refill with the specified amount  
of oil as outlined in the Komatsu Engine Owner's Manual.

Cleaning the Radiator  
CAUTION :  
The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become  
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the radiator  
fins with compressed air. Cleaning inside the machine is  
dangerous, so clean only with the engine turned off and the  
battery disconnected.  
When adding coolant or antifreeze to the  
radiator, do not remove the radiator cap  
until the unit has completely cooled.  
Air Cleaner  
Day-to-day addition of coolant is done from the reserve tank.  
When adding coolant to the radiator, DO NOT remove the  
radiator cap until the unit has completely cooled. See Table  
12 for engine, radiator, and reserve tank coolant capacities.  
Make sure the coolant level in the reserve tank is always  
between the "H" and the "L" markings.  
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. See  
maintenance section for instruction to cleaning/replacing air  
cleaner.  
Fan Belt Tension  
A slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or to  
insufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt for  
damage and wear. See maintenance section on replacing  
belts. To adjust tension:  
Table 12. Coolant Capacity  
1. Insert a bar between alternator and the cylinder block to  
fix alternator in position. When fixing the alternator in  
position, insert a wooden block between the bar and  
alternator to prevent damage to the alternator.  
2. Loosen bolts and nuts located on the alternator.  
3. Move alternator with the bar so the deflection of the belt  
is approx. 8mm.

Battery Cable Installation  
CAUTION  
:
ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 30) are properly  
connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The  
RED cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery,  
and the BLACK cable is connected to the negative terminal  
of the battery.  
Inadequate battery connections may cause  
poor starting of the generator, and create  
other malfunctions.  
Wiring  
Inspect the entire generator for bad or worn electrical wiring  
or connections. If any wiring or connections are exposed  
(insulation missing) replace wiring immediately.  
Piping and Hose Connection  
Inspect all piping, oil hose, and fuel hose connections for  
wear and tightness.Tighten all hose clamps and check hoses  
for leaks.  
If any hose (fuel or oil) lines are defective replace them  
immediately.  
Figure 30. Battery Connections  
Battery  
This unit is of negative ground DO NOT connect in reverse.  
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified  
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level is not  
properly maintained. Add only distilled water when  
replenishment is necessary.  
CAUTION  
:
If the battery cable is connected  
incorrectly, electrical damage to the  
generator will occur. Pay close attention  
to the polarity of the battery when  
connecting the battery.  
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of  
the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68°F). If the specific gravity  
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates the battery is  
discharged and needs to be recharged or replaced.  
Check to see whether the battery cables are loose. Poor  
contact may result in poor starting or malfunctions. Always  
keep the terminals firmly tightened. Coating the terminals  
with a thin film of grease will help inhibit corrosion.  
When connecting battery do the following:  
1. DO NOT connect the battery cables to the battery  
terminals when the Off/Manual/Auto switch is in either  
the manual or auto position (ON). ALWAYS make sure  
that the Off/Manual/Auto switch is in the OFF position  
when connecting the battery..  
2. Place a small amount of grease around both battery  
terminals. This will ensure a good connection and will  
help prevent corrosion around the battery terminals.

DCA-180SSK — LOAD APPLICATION  
Single Phase Load  
CAUTION:  
Motors and motor-driven equipment draw  
much greater current for starting than  
during operation.  
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator  
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage and  
frequency requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the  
generator for operating the equipment.  
An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry  
the required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn  
out the appliance or tool and overheat the cable.  
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the  
equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require 130—  
150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as  
the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor and  
starting system of the equipment.  
When connecting a resistance load such as an  
incandescent lamp or electric heater, a capacity of up  
to the generating set’s rated output (kW) can be used.  
NOTE  
If wattage is not given on the  
equipment's name plate, approximate  
wattage may be determined by  
multiplying nameplate voltage by the  
nameplate amperage.  
When connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a  
capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW)  
multiplied by 0.6 can be used.  
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE  
When connecting an electric drill or other power tools,  
pay close attention to the required starting current  
capacity.  
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 14  
below when connecting loads.  
When connecting ordinary power tools, a capacity of up to  
the generating set’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.8 can  
be used.

This generator is equipped with two 120VAC, 20 amp output  
receptacles located on the output terminal panel, page 35  
Figure 14.  
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via  
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal  
battery charger.  
Before Starting  
Engine  
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial  
power has been supplied to them (Figure 32). To apply  
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of  
adequate size will be required.  
1. Check the lubricating oil level prior to starting the engine.  
Make sure the generator is level. The oil level must be  
maintained between two notches on the dipstick.  
2. When there is not enough lubricating oil, fill the crankcase  
with high grade motor oil. Use a high quality detergent  
oil classified CC or higher (See Table 9 on page 39).  
When using the generator in hot climates there is no reason  
to apply power to jacket water heater. However, if the  
generator will be used in cold climates it is always a good  
idea to apply power to the jacket water heater at all times.To  
apply power to the jacket water heater simply apply power  
to the jacket water heater receptacle via commercial power  
using an power cord of adequate size.  
3. Check the coolant level in the radiator and subtank.  
Replenish with antifreeze as necessary.Always maintain  
the coolant level between the FULL and LOW markings  
on the coolant container. Be sure the radiator cap is  
fastened securely.  
If the generator will be used daily, the battery should normally  
not require charging. If the generator will be idle (not used)  
for long periods of time, apply power to the battery charger  
receptacle via commercial power using an power cord of  
adequate size.  
4. Check the fuel level on the fuel gauge. If fuel is low, fill  
the fuel tank with clean fresh diesel fuel. If fuel spillage  
occurs, completely wipe up the spilled fuel immediately.  
Before Starting  
When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer)  
switch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator's  
internal battery charger.This will ensure that the engine will  
not fail due to a dead battery.

DCA-180SSK — MAINTENANCE  
Fuel Addition  
General Inspection  
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season  
and locations). Always pour through the mesh filter.  
Removing Water from the Tank  
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate  
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally remove the drain  
cock and drain the contents. During cold weather, the greater  
the empty volume inside the tank, the easier it is for water to  
condense. This can be reduced by always keeping the tank  
as full as possible.  
Prior to each use, the generating set should be cleaned and  
inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or  
damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel  
or oil leaks.  
Air Cleaner  
Every 50 hours: If dust indicator is red, clean the air cleaner  
element.  
Outer Element:  
1. Loosen wing bolt, remove dust cup, then remove wing  
nut and take out element.  
Air Removal  
If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine,  
starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel, or  
after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system  
according to the following procedure.  
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the key switch to the  
“START” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed.  
This unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.  
Service Daily  
If engine is operating in very dusty and dry grass conditions,  
a clogged air cleaner will result in high fuel consumption,  
loss of power and excessive carbon buildup in the  
combustion chamber.  
2. Clean the inside of the body and cover using a damp  
cloth.  
3. Blow dry with compressed air (0.69Mpa {7kgf.cm2,  
99.4 PSI} maximum against the side of the element  
along the pleats. Then blow dry against outside along  
the pleats, then against inside again.  
4. Remove one seal each time the element is cleaned.  
5. Replace the outer element after cleaning it 6 times or  
after one year. Replace the outer element if indicator is  
red even after cleaning it.  
6. Check the inner cylinder element clamping nut for  
looseness, and retighten if necessary.  
7. If seal washer is damaged or the threads of wing nut are  
damaged, replace.  
8. Remove evacuator valve and clean it with compressed  
air. Reinstall.  
Inner element (if equipped)  
1. Remove the cover and outer element, then remove the  
inner element.  
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer  
Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove  
dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in diesel. Securely  
fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not leak. Check  
the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or once a month.  
Check Oil Level  
2. Cover the air connector opening (outer side) with clean  
cloth or cloth tape.  
3. Clean the inside of the body. Remove air connector  
opening protection.  
4. Install a new inner cylinder element to the cylinder and  
tighten the nut.  
5. Install element.  
Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the  
fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe damage  
to the engine. Make sure the generator is level.The oil level  
must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown  
in Figure 28, page 43.  
Flushing Out Radiator and Changing Coolant  
1. Stop the engine and allow to cool. Tighten valve of the  
corrosion resistor (if equipped).  
6. After replacing the element, press the button of the dust  
indicator to return the red piston to its original position.  
2. Turn water filer cap slowly and remove it.  
3. Prepare a container to catch the coolant, then open drain  
plug of the radiator or heat exchanger and drain plug of  
the engine, and drain the coolant.

filler, open drain plugs and start the engine, and run at  
low idling. Keep the engine running at low idling and  
flush the radiator for about 10 minutes.  
1. Make sure the oil is cool before changing.  
2. Set a container directly under the drain plug of the oil  
pan. Loosen the drain plug slowly.  
6. Adjust the flow of the water flowing in and draining out to  
ensure that the radiator is always full during the flushing  
operation, While flushing water through the system,  
watch carefully the water inlet hose does not come out  
of the radiator filler port.  
3. Check the drained oil for excessive metal particles or  
foreign material. Contact the distributor if there is metal  
particles or foreign material.  
4. Using a filter wrench, turn filter cartridge to the left to  
remove it. If the filter cartridge is filled with a large  
amount of oil, wait 10 minutes or so before removing.  
Make sure there is no old gasket stuck on the filter holder.  
7. After flushing, stop the engine, open drain plug and drain  
the water, then close drain plugs.  
8. After draining the water, flush the system with a flushing  
agent. See instructions on flushing agent label.  
5. Tighten drain plug. Clean the filter holder, fill the new  
filter cartridge with clean engine oil, coat the packing  
and thread of the new filter cartridge with engine oil,  
then install it to the filter holder. Tighten until the gasket  
surface contacts the seal surface of the filter holder,  
then tighten it a further 3/4 to 1 turn.  
9. After flushing, open drain plugs and drain out all the  
water, then close drain plugs and add tap water so the  
water level is near the mouth of the water filler.  
10. When the water level is near the mouth of the water  
filler, open drain plugs and start the engine, run at low  
idling and continue to flush the system until clean water  
comes out. Adjust the flow of the water flowing in and  
draining out to ensure the radiator is always full during  
the flushing operation.  
6. Add engine oil through oil filler until the oil level is between  
the H and L marks on the dipstick.  
7. Run the engine at idling for a short time, then stop the  
engine. Recheck the oil level and fill as necessary.  
Replacing fuel filter

the reserve tank, then fill with coolant/water mixture to  
between the full and low lines.  
4. When installing, tighten until the packing surface  
contacts the seal surface of the filter holder then tighten  
a further 2/3 of a turn. If the filter cartridge is tighten too  
much, the packing will be damaged and will cause fuel  
leakage. Fuel leakage will occur if the filter cartridge is  
not tightened enough. Always tighten to the correct  
angle.  
15. Stop the engine, wait for 3 minutes, add tap water until  
the water level reaches near the water filer port, then  
tighten the radiator cap.  
Check Electric Heater (If equipped)
