Control Panel The generator's control box is provided with the following components: One Duplex GFCI 120 VAC Receptacle, 15 Amps One 120/250 VAC receptacle, 30 Amps Main Circuit Breaker 240 V @30 Amps GFCI Circuit Breaker 120 V @15 Amps Pre-Heat Lamp Indicator Ignition Switch Engine The KD1800/KD6 is powered by vertical, water-cooled, 4cycle diesel engine. This engine is designed to meet every performance requirement for the generator.
Remember the following when using the generator: DO NOT obstruct the generator's intake and outlet passages. ALWAYS provide sufficient air circulation around the generator to remove engine heat and to provide ample generator cooling. HOT AIR from the radiator must not enter into the generator. Use extreme caution when handling capacitors. A potential shock condition exist even when the engine has been shut-off. See maintenance section of this manual for the proper handling of capacitors. For operation at high altitudes, ratings must be derated 2% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Frame temperatures above 60 C (104 F) are too high, indicating a temperature rise in the copper windings of 105C (122 F) or more. After running the generator for 30 minutes at full load check the temperature rise. If the temperature is excessive, examine the generator for the following: A. Obstructed air-flow B. Hot air feeding into the inlet of the generator. C. By-passed air (air not pulled through generator)

KD1800/KD6 INSTALLATION
Outdoor Installation Install the generator in a location where it will not be exposed to rain or sunshine. Make sure that the welder/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, not only to the engine parts, but also to the 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. Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas. Remember that exhaust fumes from any gasoline engine are very poisonous if discharged in a closed room, but harmless if allowed to mix with the outside air. If the generator is installed indoors, you must make provisions for venting the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.
CAUTION :
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements.

The KD1800/KD6 utilizes a generator that 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. Generator 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. If a building is not accessible, then the use of a ground rod is sufficient. NOTE Check local city codes for proper grounding requirements.
NEC articles 250-91a and 250-95 sets the following grounding requirements: 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. The ground terminal on the generator should always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The ground ring on the generator (Figure 3) should be able to accommodate #8 size copper or aluminum wire. 3. Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug on the generator. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable building ground or ground rod. 4. NEC article 250-83c 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.

To protect the generator from an overload, a 2-pole, 30 amp, main circuit breaker is provided. In addition a single pole, 15 amp breaker is provided for the G.F.C.I. receptacle. Make sure to switch both 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 chart (Table 3 ) as a guide for selecting proper cable size.

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 into its holder. Verify that the oil level is maintained between the two notches (Figure 4) on the dipstick. See Table 4 for proper selection of engine oil.
Fill the fuel tank with No. 2 diesel fuel. DO NOT fill the tank beyond capacity. Use a strainer when pouring the fuel into the tank. This will prevent dirt and debris from entering the fuel system. Pay attention to the fuel tank capacity when replenishing fuel. Refer to the fuel tank capacity listed on page 13, Engine Specification Table 2. 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.
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 gasoline completely to prevent fire hazards.
Coolant Check coolant level as described in the maintenance section of this manual.
Figure 4. Engine Oil Dipstick
Use distilled water mixed with coolant. 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.
