OPERATING SAFETY
Before using the generator be sure you 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!
Read the operating instructions and familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all instruments
and controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone familiar with the equipment
before being allowed to operate or set up the generator. The following points should be practiced at all times:
The area immediately surrounding the generator should be dry, clean, and free of debris.
NEVER start a unit in need of repair.
Make certain the generator is securely fastened to a good earthen ground before use.
NEVER operate unit on a combustible surface.
NEVER operate the generator if any of the following conditions exist during operation:
1.
Noticeable change in engine speed.
2.
Loss of electrical output.
3.
Equipment connected to the generator overheats.
4.
Sparking occurs.
5.
Engine misfires or there is excessive engine/generator vibration.
6.
Protective covers are loose or missing.
7.
If the ambient air temperature is above 120 F.
Make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and other types of lifting devices are attached securely
and have enough weight-bearing capacity to lift or hold the equipment safely. Always remain aware
of the position of other people around you when lifting the equipment.
ENGINE SAFETY
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and fueling! Failure to follow the
safety guidelines described below could result in severe injury or death. Read and follow all safety warnings
described in the engine operator's manual. A copy of this manual was supplied with unit when it was
shipped from the factory.
DO NOT run engine indoors or in an area with poor ventilation. Diesel engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly, odorless and colorless gas which, if inhaled, can cause nausea, fainting or death.
Only use this unit outside and away from windows, doors and ventillation equipment.
DO NOT fill fuel tank near an open flame, while smoking, or while engine is running. DO NOT fill tank
in an enclosed area with poor ventilation.
DO NOT operate with the fuel tank cap loose or missing.
DO NOT touch or lean against hot exhaust pipes or engine cylinders.
DO NOT clean air filter with gasoline or other types of low flash point solvents.
DO NOT remove engine coolant cap while engine is hot.
DO NOT operate the unit without a functional exhaust system. Prolonged exposure to sound levels
in excess of 85 DBA can cause permanent hearing loss. Wear hearing protection when working around
a running engine.
Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts on the generator and engine.
Keep area around exhaust pipes and air ducts free of debris to reduce the chance of an accidental fire.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can cause severe injury or death. Sulfuric acid can cause eye
damage, burn flesh or eat holes in clothing. Protective eye wear and clothing are necessary when
working on or around the battery. Always disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) battery cable from the
corresponding terminal before performing any service on the engine or other components..
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The unit is powered by a generator driven by a diesel engine. While the engine is running, potentially
lethal voltages are present at the 120V Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) outlets and the 240V twist
lock outlets located on the control panel, and at the connection lugs and cam lock receptacles. Failure to
follow the safety guidelines described below could result in severe injury or death.
Only a qualified and licensed electrician should make connections to the generator.
NEVER wash the unit with any high pressure hoses or power washers.
NEVER start the unit under load. The circuit breakers must be in the OFF position when starting the
unit in MANUAL mode. The circuit breakers can be in the ON position only when started in the AUTO
mode. A transfer switch must be used in the AUTO mode to deflect the load upon start up.
ALWAYS disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) battery cable from the corresponding terminal before
performing any service on the engine, generator or any other components. Remove the NEGATIVE
(-) battery cable from the corresponding terminal if the unit is to be stored or transported.
ALWAYS use extreme caution when servicing this unit in damp conditions. Do not service the unit if
your skin or clothing is wet. Do not allow water to collect around the base of the unit.
ALWAYS connect the unit to a good earthen ground before use. Follow any local, state or United
States National Electric Code (NEC) guidelines.
TOWING SAFETY
Towing a trailer requires care! Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened
to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident. Also, some states require that large trailers be
registered and licensed. Contact your local Department of Transportation office to check on license
requirements for your particular unit.
Check that the hitch and coupling on the towing vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
Check tires on trailer for tread wear, inflation, and condition.
Inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or damage. NEVER tow trailer using defective parts!
Make sure the trailer hitch and the coupling are compatible. Make sure the coupling is securely fastened
to the vehicle.
Connect safety chains in a crossing pattern under the tongue and attach the breakaway cable TO
THE REAR BUMPER OF THE TOWING VEHICLE. Do not attach the cable to the trailer hitch.
Make sure directional and brake lights on the trailer are connected and working properly.
Check that lug nuts holding wheels are tight and that none are missing.
Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 mph. Recommended off-road towing speed
is not to exceed 10 mph or less depending on terrain.
Before towing the trailer, check that the weight of the trailer is equal across all tires. On trailers with
adjustable height hitches, adjust the angle of the trailer tongue to keep the trailer as level as possible. On
units equipped with a tandem axle trailer, a large angle between the trailer and tow vehicle will cause more
weight to be carried by one axle, which could cause premature wear on the tires and axles and cause
potentially unsafe operating conditions.
The trailer is equipped with hydraulic surge brakes or electric surge brakes. Check the operation of the
brakes by braking the vehicle at a slow speed before entering traffic. Both the trailer and the vehicle should
brake smoothly. If the trailer seems to be pushing, check the level in the surge brake fluid reservoir.
When towing, maintain extra space between vehicles and avoid soft shoulders, curbs and sudden lane
changes. If you have not pulled a trailer before, practice turning, stopping, and backing up in an area away
from heavy traffic.
A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean
and apply fresh grease each time the trailer is towed.
REPORTING TRAILER SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Magnum Products LLC.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group
of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problem between you, your dealer, or Magnum Products LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:1-800-424-9153),

MAGNUM DIGITAL CONTROLLER (MDC)

The Magnum Digital Controller (MDC) is an enhanced digital generator controller used to start, stop and monitor the
operation of the generator and the engine. The controller constantly monitors vital generator and engine functions
for a number of pre-programmed alarm and fault conditions. When a fault condition occurs, the engine will shut down
automatically and the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window will display the fault that caused the shut down; to resume
operation the fault condition must be resolved. The controller has the ability to provide the display readout in English
and Spanish; other languages are available. A screen print out of the display screen is also available. This controller
also records a History of the units performance which may be viewed at any time and will not be removed or lost
when the controller is powered down.
The MDC panel consists of five sections, including: the CONTROL ON/OFF Toggle Switch and Fine Voltage
Adjustment Screw; the OPERATION keypad; the LCD window; the DIAGNOSTICS keypad; and the STATUS
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
DIGITAL CONTROLLER FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

1. The CONTROL ON/OFF Toggle Switch and Fine Voltage Adjustment Screw
CONTROL ON/OFF Toggle Switch: This toggle switch powers-up the control panel and the controller.
Fine Voltage Adjustment Screw: This screw may be adjusted to set the generator output voltage after the
voltage selector switch has been changed from one phase to another. This adjustment must be accomplished
within 45 seconds of start-up so that the unit does not experience a shut down alarm for SENSING.
2. The OPERATION Keypad

Supplying Load: Indicates a load is being applied to the generator.
GENERATOR MONITORING
Generator information is shown on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window in a toggling manner with the Engine
information after the first 60 seconds of operation, then every five seconds thereafter. The generator display screen
will show frequency, line to neutral voltage, line to line voltage and amperage.
Note: When loading the generator, it is important to observe the amperage to determine the load balance on each
line of the generator. Minor load unbalances, usually five percent or less, will not cause any particular problems.
Every effort should be made to distribute the load equally between all lines.
Hertz: Displays output frequency.

Generator Output Voltage: Line to Neutral display, single phase (1).
Generator Output Voltage: Line to Line display, 3 phase (3).
Amps: Displays the AC output amperage produced by the generator.
ENGINE MONITORING
Engine information is shown on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window in a toggling manner with the Generator
information after the first 60 seconds of operation and then every five seconds thereafter. The engine display screen
will show oil pressure, engine coolant temperature, fuel level and battery voltage.
19
Oil Press: Displays engine oil pressure. The display registers oil pressure between 0-100 psi. Normal
operating pressure is between 35-80 psi.
Eng Temp: Displays the temperature of the engines coolant. If the coolant temperature exceeds the
Maximum Water Temperature of 230 F the engine will automatically shut down. Zero 0 will be displayed
until a minimum temperature of 100 F is reached.
Fuel Level: Displays the level of fuel in the tank by percentage (50% = 1/2 tank, 75% = 3/4 tank, etc.). If the
fuel level drops below a programmed low fuel point usually at 15%, a low fuel warning and optional audio
alarm will be activated. If the fuel level drops below the programmed low fuel limit, usually at five percent,
the engine will automatically shut down.
Vbat: Displays the engine battery voltage. A normal reading is 13-14V on 12 volt systems and 24-26 on 24
volt systems (with the engine running).
Additional information may be viewed while the unit is in MANUAL or AUTO mode. By pressing the Page Select
button, the operator will select one of the following screens; Running screen, Password screen, or History screen.
In each of these page selections the operator may press the S or T buttons on the DIAGNOSTICS keypad to
display additional information as follows:
20
Running screen:The operator may press the S or T buttons on the DIAGNOSTICS keypad to
display the Alarm List screen, ECU Alarm List screen, Run Hours screen, ECU Values screen, Engine

Password screen: The operator may press the S or T buttons on the DIAGNOSTICS keypad to
move the cursor (>) up or down a list of text.
History screen:The operator may press the S or T buttons on the DIAGNOSTICS keypad to move
the cursor (>) up or down a list of recent alarm or shut down codes. Pressing the Enter button at a particular
selection will allow the operator to scroll to the right in the LCD window to view the generator operating
parameters at the time of the alarm or shut down. The history of alarms or codes is saved in the digital
controller. The most recent alarm or code is the first to be listed, with the time/date of the alarm or code at
the bottom of the screen. The controller stores up to 118 codes. When full, the controller will automatically
remove the oldest file. These codes will not be lost when the CONTROL ON/OFF toggle switch is powered
off.
FINE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

Upon start-up of the generator, the Running screen of the Magnum Digital
Controller (MDC) will display SENSING and will countdown from 45 seconds
to 0 Zero. This is a safety feature of the controller to protect the generator
from over or under voltage upon start-up.
SENSING is a 45 second time delay and count down process before the MDC
records the generator nominal output voltage. This nominal generator voltage
is then compared to the current set point voltage of the voltage selector switch.
If the nominal voltage recorded by the controller is greater than or lower than
the current set point voltage of the voltage selector switch setting by 10% or
more, the controller will shut the generator down automatically. The display will
read: Wrn VG1 or 2 or 3 Under/Over and/or Sd Vg1 or 2 or 3 Under/Over. This
means the controller warned (Wrn) or shut down (Sd) the unit due to an
output voltage irregularity.
VOLTAGE
ADJUSTMENT
RHEOSTAT
CONTROL
ON
CONTROL
OFF
The output voltage of the generator may be adjusted after the generator is running by using the fine voltage adjustment
screw. The adjusting screw is located directly below the CONTROL ON/OFF toggle switch on the control panel.
This screw turns a rheostat that will provide an increase (+) or a decrease (-) in the generator output voltage as
displayed on the Power Display Screen on the control panel. If the voltage is increased or decreased too fast or too
slow, the unit will automatically shut down. This adjustment needs to be made within the 45 second delay and
countdown to 0 Zero period.
To adjust the output voltage, check the output voltage on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window labeled Gen freq
& Hz. Look at the L1N voltage or the L12 voltage on the display. The generator nominal output voltage should be
within 10% of the voltage rating on the voltage selector switch.
To adjust the output voltage loosen the lock nut at the base of the screw and turn the screw in the desired direction
until the required voltage shown on the LCD window matches the stated voltage on the voltage selector switch.
For Example: With the voltage selector switch set to 208/120V 3 Phase position, the voltage displayed on the
Gen freq & Hz screen must be within 10% of the 208/120 position (188-228 V Line to Line / 108-132 V Line to Neutral).
Note: Each time the voltage selector switch is changed from one setting to another, an adjustment will need to be
made to the fine voltage using this adjustment screw.
21
PRE - START CHECK LIST

Before starting the generator, carefully read the pre-start check list. Make sure that all of the items are checked
before trying to start the generator. This check list applies to both manual and remote starting of the generator.
Read and understand ALL safety sections at the beginning of this manual.
Make sure the control ON/OFF toggle switch is in the OFF O position.
Make sure that the circuit breakers (main and convenience) are switched OFF O.
Check that the generator is properly grounded to a good earthen ground per any local and NEC
regulations.

Note: It may take a few seconds for the engine to run smoothly and reach its governed operating speed. The 45
second SENSING time delay will start to count down.
7. The LCD window will then toggle from the Running screen to the Generator Display Screen and then to the
Engine Display Screen.
8. If the engine does not start after the first cranking attempt, the engine will pause for 15 seconds to allow the
starter to cool. The LCD window will show PAUSE. The engine will make two more attempts to start for a total
of three crank cycles.
23
9. Should the engine not start and run within three starting cycles, the LCD window will show SD Start fail. The
starting sequence may be repeated after the starter has had a minimum of two minutes to cool. Press the FAULT
RESET button to clear the controller. To start the unit, press the green ENGINE START button.
Note: The engine controller may skip the preheat engine steps on some of the larger models.
10. Once the engine starts it will immediately begin speeding up to a constant 1800 rpm. The engine may hunt or
change speeds until operating speed is reached. After a few minutes of operation, the engine will be warmed
up and the LCD window will show engine and generator operating parameters. Temperature will be shown as
0 until the engine temperature is approximately 100 F.
11. Check the generator for excessive noise or vibration and any coolant, oil or fuel leaks before applying any loads.
12. Check that the AC output voltage is correct. The output voltage can be fine adjusted by using the fine voltage
adjustment screw (rheostat), as described on page 21.
13. Check that the frequency (Hz) is correct. With no loads connected to the generator, the frequency should read
approximately 60 Hz, depending on the type of engine governing used.
14. If all wiring connections have been made correctly, switch the main circuit breaker to the ON / I position and
then add any loads attached to the convenience outlets by switching the respective circuit breaker to the ON /
I position. You will notice a slight change in engine sound when a load is applied to the unit.
AUTO (REMOTE) STARTING OF THE GENERATOR

The AUTO button is used when the generator is started from a location other than the control panel and by using
a transfer switch. AUTO (remote start) is the normal setting when the generator is being used as a standby power
supply. Before putting the generator in the AUTO mode, review the Pre-Start Check List and Manual Starting of the
Generator sections beginning on page 22. Also follow all safety warnings and information on isolating the generator
with a transfer switch if the unit is to be used as a standby power supply (see page 38). Then continue with the steps
described below:
1. Perform a manual start of the generator at least once to verify that the engine is operating correctly.
2. If a check of the remote start circuit is desired, remove the wires from the remote start terminal block.
Press the AUTO button, the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window should highlight AUTO in the upper
left corner. Attach a jumper wire (minimum 16 gauge) across the two terminals on the remote start
terminal block. This applies a ground to the Magnum Digital Controller (MDC) to close the starting circuit
contacts. The engine should crank, start and run.
3. Remove the jumper wire from the remote start terminal block and the engine will stop. Reconnect any
necessary wires from the remote start switch (transfer switch) to the remote start terminal block.
4. Confirm unit is in AUTO mode. The LCD window should have AUT highlighted in the upper left corner.
5. Close the main circuit breaker (set to ON / I).
6. Secure the generator by closing and locking all access doors.
7. The generator is now ready for remote starting.
SHUTTING DOWN THE GENERATOR

Check with personnel using power supplied by the generator and let them know that the power is going to be turned
off. Make sure the power shut down will not create any hazards by accidentally turning off equipment that needs to
be kept on (pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).
1. Remove all loads from the generator by opening all circuit breakers (turn to OFF / O).
2. Let the engine run for approximately five minutes to allow it to cool down.
3. Push the red ENGINE STOP button. Pressing Engine Stop will result in the generator going into the
shut down cycle and starting a 15 second shut down timer called Stop Value. If the unit does not shut
down within 15 seconds a Stop Fail alarm will be displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) window.
4. Move the CONTROL ON/OFF toggle switch to the CONTROL OFF / O position.

ENGINE AND GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly
over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. NEVER perform even routine
service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut off. When servicing this equipment
always follow the instructions listed below.
Before servicing the machine, make sure the engine start switch is turned to the OFF O position.
The circuit breakers are open (OFF, O).
The emergency stop switch is activated (pushed in).
The negative (-) terminal on the battery is disconnected.
Attach a DO NOT START sign to the control panel. This will notify everyone that the unit is being serviced and will reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit.
If the unit is connected to a remote start or transfer switch, make sure the remote switch is also off and
tagged.
Never wash the unit with a high pressure hose or with any kind of power washer.
Never wash the engine block or fuel tank with a power washer or steam cleaner. Water may enter the
cabinet and collect in the generator windings or other electrical parts causing damage.
If the unit is stored outside, check for water inside the cabinet and generator before each use. If wet, dry
the unit thoroughly before starting.
DAILY WALK AROUND INSPECTION

Look for conditions that could hinder performance or safety, such as (but not limited to) oil/coolant/fuel leakage,
blocked vents, loose/missing hardware and electrical connections.
Visually inspect the fan belt for cracks, fraying, stretching and that the belt is properly seated in pulley grooves.
Replace the belt according to the manufacturers recommendations.
Note: At the 500 hour/12 month service interval, it is recommended that the belt be removed and checked for wear.
While the belt is removed, inspect pulleys and bearings. Rotate and feel for hard turning or unusual sounds. If pulleys
or bearings need replacement contact John Deere.
CAUTION
Failure to perform a daily inspection may result in serious damage to the prime mover.
BELT TENSION
John Deere engines use two types of belt tensioners: manual and automatic. Adjust the belt using the manual
tensioner according to the manufacturers specifications. The automatic tensioner cannot be adjusted or repaired
and is designed to maintain proper tension over the belts life. Units with the automatic belt tensioner must be inspected
according to the manufacturers specifications.
39
ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS

Note: During the first 20 hours of operation, avoid long periods of no load or sustained maximum load operation. If
the generator is to run for longer than five minutes without a load, shut the generator down.
The engine is supplied with engine break-in oil from the factory. Extra care during the first 100 hours of engine
operation will result in better performance and longer engine life. DO NOT exceed 100 hours of operation with the
break-in oil. Operate the engine at heavy loads (60-90% of maximum) as much as possible. If the engine has spent
significant time at idle, constant speeds and/or light load or if makeup oil is required, a longer break in period may
be needed. Consult the engine OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for a full description of necessary
procedures on the addition of break-in oil and extension of the break-in period. Use the schedule table on the following
page as a guide for regular maintenance intervals.
DAILY MAINTENANCE CHECKS

Check the engine oil level daily before starting engine. DO NOT start the generator if the oil level is below the ADD
mark on the dipstick. The normal operating level for the engine oil is anywhere in the crosshatch pattern between
the FULL and ADD markings. Add oil to the engine only if the level is below the ADD mark on the bottom of the
crosshatch pattern. DO NOT OVERFILL the crankcase. Consult the engine OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL for the proper grade of oil, including special operating conditions such as a change in season or climate.
Check the coolant level daily. The coolant is checked by visually inspecting the level in the coolant overflow jug,
located near the radiator. The normal operating level is anywhere between the FULL and ADD markings on the
overflow jug, with the optimum level noted as NORMAL RANGE. Coolant may be added directly to the overflow
jug WHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPED AND COMPLETELY COOL. Consult the engine OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL for coolant recommendations and proper mixture.
Check the condition of the air filter by viewing the level of vacuum draw on the filter minder gauge. Replace the air
filter when the yellow center bar reaches the red section on the gauge (20 in. H20).

or replaced, tighten the lugs in the order shown to the following specifications:
A. Start all lug nuts by hand.
B. First pass tighten to 20-25 Ft-Lbs (27-33 Nm).
C. Second pass tighten to 50-60 Ft-Lbs (67-81 Nm).
D. Third pass tighten to 90-120 Ft-Lbs (122-162 Nm).
After the first road use, re-torque the lug nuts in sequence.
6. Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 m.p.h. Recommended off-road towing speed is not to
exceed 10 m.p.h. or less depending on terrain.
TRAILER WHEEL BEARINGS

Some trailers are equipped with a grease zerk fitting to allow lubrication of the wheel bearings without the need to
disassemble the axle hub. To lubricate the axle bearings, remove the small rubber plug on the grease cap, attach a
standard grease gun fitting to the grease zerk fitting and pump grease into the fitting until new grease is visible around
the nozzle of the grease gun. Use only a high quality grease made specifically for lubrication of wheel bearings. Wipe
41
any excess grease from the hub with a clean cloth and replace the rubber plug when finished. The minimum
recommended lubrication is every 12 months or 12,000 miles; more frequent lubrication may be required under
extremely dusty or damp operating conditions.
AUXILIARY FUEL TANK OPTION

The auxiliary fuel tank option is desgined so the unit can run from an external
fuel tank. The unit is still programed to shut down when the internal tanks fuel
level drops below five percent. In order for the unit to run off of an auxiliary tank,
the fuel level in the internal tank must remain over five percent. To operate the
unit using an auxiliary fuel tank, use the following procedure:
1. Shut down the unit and check that the level of fuel in the tank is above five
percent.
2. Attach the auxiliary fuel tank's fuel lines to the AUXILIARY FUEL INLET
and AUXILIARY FUEL OUTLET fittings on the unit.
3. Open the AUXILIARY FUEL INLET and AUXILIARY FUEL OUTLET
valves located inside of the right front door.
FUEL TRANSFER PUMP OPTION

The fuel transfer pump option allows the fuel tank to be refilled from an external bulk fuel source. When the fuel
transfer switch is on, anytime the fuel level drops below 15% the fuel transfer pump will begin pumping fuel from an
external bulk fuel source into the fuel tank on the unit. The fuel transfer pump will shut off when the fuel level of the
internal tank reaches 90%. The pump will also be monitored to ensure a certain percentage increase in fuel level
over a given period of time to prevent the pump from running dry. To operate the fuel transfer system, use the following
procedure:
1. Shut down the unit. Note: if the external bulk fuel supply is already connected, the
unit does not have to be shut down to turn the fuel transfer pump option on or off.
2. Attach the external bulk fuel supply to FUEL TRANSFER INLET fitting on the unit.
3. Turn on the Fuel Transfer Switch.
