General Information

Unit and Serial Number LocationsSee Figure 2-4 to locate the unit ID tag (A) and vehicleidentification number (VIN) tag (B). Important informationsuch as the unit model number, serial number, VIN, andtire loading information are listed on these tags. Recordthe information from these tags in the event the tags arelost or damaged. This information may be needed whenordering parts or requesting assistance.

Figure 2-4. Unit and Serial Number Locations

Altitude and Temperature LimitationsAll units are subject to derating for altitude andtemperature. Derating reduces the available power foroperating tools and accessories connected to the outlets.For the MDG75, the engine can provide full prime powerup to an altitude of 13,100 ft (3,993 m). For the MDG100,the engine can provide full prime power up to an altitudeof 8,400 ft (2,560 m). The maximum air temperature atwhich the unit can provide full prime power is defined inTable 2-2. If the unit is operated beyond this limit at fullpower, the coolant temperature will exceed the maximumallowable limit of 235 °F (113 °C) and cause the engine toshut down.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)NOTE: Unit does not ship from factory with DEF in tank.

DEF Specification

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a high purity liquid that isinjected into the exhaust system of SCR engines.Maintaining the purity of DEF is important to avoidingmalfunctions in the SCR system. Engines requiring DEFshall use a quality product that meets the requirementsfor Aqueous Urea Solution 32 (AUS 32) according to ISO22241-1. The use of John Deere DEF is recommended.

If John Deere DEF is not available, use DEF certified bythe American Petroleum Institute (API) Diesel ExhaustFluid Certification Program, or by the AdBlue™ DieselExhaust Fluid Certification program. Look for the APIcertification symbol or the AdBlue name on the container.

NOTE: Do not create DEF by mixing agricultural gradeurea with water. Do not use additives, as this candamage the after treatment system.

DEF Warning

DEF can be corrosive to material such as steel, iron,zinc, nickel, copper, aluminum, and magnesium. Therecommended material for transport and storage of DEFis made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or stainlesssteel. These are not all-inclusive lists. For additionalinformation, see ISO 22241 or contact a DEF supplier.

General Information

DEF Storage Guidelines

NOTE: Reference the Materials Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) for additional information.

DEF freezes at temperatures below 12°F (-11°C). Do notuse additives to reduce the freezing temperature.Additives currently available are more corrosive thanDEF, and will cause component and system degradationand negatively impact reliability. For more information,see the operator manual, or contact a DEF supplier.

DEF quality degrades rapidly at temperatures above 140°F (60°C). To maintain emissions compliance, theurea concentration must remain between 31.8–33.2%.

Ideal conditions for storage of DEF are:

• Store at temperatures between 23–86°F (-5–30°C)

• Store in sealed dedicated containers to avoidcontamination and evaporation

Under these conditions, DEF is expected to remainusable for a minimum of 18 months. Storing DEF athigher temperatures can reduce its useful life byapproximately six months for every 9°F (5°C) above 86°F (30°C). Long-term storage in the DEF tank (over 12months) is not recommended. If long-term storage isnecessary, test DEF prior to operating engine. SeeTesting DEF.

DEF Tank Refilling

IMPORTANT NOTE: If DEF is filled into engine fueltank or other fluid compartment, do not operateengine until system is properly purged of DEF.Contact your John Deere dealer immediately todetermine how to clean and purge the system.

NOTE: Use only distilled water to rinse components thatare used to deliver DEF. Tap water can contaminate DEF.If distilled water is not available, rinse with clean tapwater, then thoroughly rinse with ample amounts of DEF.

Reasonable care should be taken when refilling the DEFtank. Verify the DEF tank cap area is free of debris beforeremoving the cap. Wipe clean with a lint free cloth toremove debris from tank cap. Seal DEF containersbetween use to prevent contamination and evaporation.Avoid splashing DEF, and do not allow DEF to come intocontact with skin, eyes, or mouth.

DEF can be corrosive to materials such as steel, iron,zinc, nickel, copper, aluminum, and magnesium. Usesuitable containers to transport and store DEF.Containers made of polyethylene, polypropylene, orstainless steel are recommended.

NOTE: Keep anything used to store or dispense DEFclean of dirt and dust. Wash and rinse containers orfunnels thoroughly with distilled water to removecontaminants.

If an unapproved fluid, such as diesel fluid or coolant isadded to the DEF tank, contact your John Deeredealer immediately to determine how to clean andpurge the system.

If water has been added to the DEF tank, a tank cleaningis necessary. After refilling the tank, check the DEFconcentration. See Testing DEF. The operator mustmaintain appropriate DEF levels at all times. Check theDEF level daily and refill the tank as needed. The fillingport is identified by a blue colored cap embossed with theDEF symbol.

WARNINGRisk of poisoning. Do not ingest diesel exhaust fluid.Seek medical attention immediately if consumed.Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

(000334)

WARNINGPersonal injury. Do not inhale diesel exhaust fluid fumes. If breathing becomes difficult, move to an areawith fresh air and seek medical attention immediately.Failure to do so could result in serious injury.(000335a)

WARNINGPersonal injury. Avoid contact with eyes. Flush eyesthoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious injury. (000336)

WARNINGPersonal injury. Avoid prolonged contact with skin.Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Removecontaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Seek medical attention if skin becomes irritated. Failure to do so could result in personal injury. (000338a)

CAUTION

General Information

PowerZone® ControllerThe PowerZone controller is an auto start controller thatmonitors the unit and indicates operational status andfault conditions. The controller can be programmed toautomatically start or stop based on time schedule, faultcondition, or load demand.

The controller constantly monitors vital generator andengine functions for a number of preprogrammed alarmand fault conditions. When a fault condition occurs, the

engine can shut down automatically and the displayscreen will show the fault that caused the shut down. Thefault condition must be resolved to resume unit operation.

This controller records a history of unit performance,which may be viewed at any time and will not be lostwhen the controller is powered down.

NOTE: See Controller Features and Functions fordescriptions of the callouts below.

This screen also displaysthe generator winding configuration set by the voltageselector switch in the lower right corner.

Figure 2-12. Generator Screen

NOTE: When loading the generator, it is important toobserve the amperage to determine the load balance oneach line of the generator. Minor load imbalances,usually 10% or less, will not cause problems. Every effortshould be made to distribute the load equally between alllines.

• Freq: Displays the output frequency in Hertz (Hz).Normal operating frequency is 60 Hz.

• Volts: Displays the nominal voltage in volts (V).

• Amps: Displays the AC output amperageproduced by the generator in amps (A).

Additional information can be found on the electric powertable at the bottom-left side of the screen. This providesan overview of all three lines and average voltage andamperage readouts.

Voltage Adjust Screen

The unit automatically fine tunes voltage upon start-upafter the output voltage is selected and the unit is started.See Voltage Selector Switch. The voltage can bemanually fine tuned as needed. See Fine VoltageAdjustment.

The voltage adjust screen displays the line-to-neutral andline-to-line voltage averages. The operator canelectronically adjust the voltage within limits to preventunder-voltage or over-voltage conditions using the on-screen instructions. This feature replaces a traditionalpotentiometer.

Wet StackingThe unit is powered by a diesel engine. Diesel enginesare susceptible to wet stacking if lightly loaded. Wetstacking occurs when an engine is run at less than 30%of its full load capacity, causing unburned fuel toaccumulate in the exhaust system. Wet stacking can bedetected by continuous black exhaust when the unit isunder a constant load. It can also cause fouling ofinjectors and buildup on engine valves. Diesel enginesoperate properly when applied loads are between 30%and 100% capacity. Appropriate generator sizing isdetermined by the anticipated load. If the unit is in a wetstack condition, load the unit heavily for five hours or untilthe exhaust is clear.

Operation

Cold Weather OperationThe engine may be equipped with a coolant heater, oilpan heater, crankcase ventilation heater, battery heateror fuel heater as cold weather starting aids.

See Figure 3-6. Starting aids are required below 32°F (0°C). They will enhance starting performancebelow these temperatures and may be needed to startapplications that have high parasitic loads duringcranking and start acceleration to idle. Other coldweather starting aids are required at temperatures below-13°F (-25°C) or at altitudes above 5,000 ft (1,500 m).

The use of correct grade oil (see Recommended OilTypes) is critical to achieving adequate cold weathercranking speed. Synthetic oils have improved flow at lowtemperatures.

The oil pan heater, battery heater and fuel filter heater (ifequipped) are activated with a thermostat and will turn onand off as needed. The coolant heater is powered by ashore power 120V electrical connection. The crankcaseventilation heater is powered by the generator and willstay on when the engine is operating in cold weatherconditions.

Figure 3-6. Cold Weather Starting Guidelines

Use cold weather starting aids as needed according toFigure 3-6. Follow supplier instructions for starting aidsprovided on engine. A booster battery can be connectedif needed (see Using a Booster Battery or Charger (IfEquipped)).

NOTE: Additional information on cold weather operationis available from your local GMP ASD.

Maintenance

Engine Break-In RequirementsNOTE: During the first 20 hours of operation, avoid longperiods of no load or sustained maximum load operation.If the generator is to run for longer than five minuteswithout a load, shut down the generator.

John Deere engines are supplied with engine break-in oilfrom the factory. Extra care during the first 100-500 hoursof engine operation will result in better performance andlonger engine life. Do not exceed 500 hours of operationwith the break-in oil. Operate the engine at heavy loads(60–90% of maximum) as much as possible. If the enginehas spent significant time at idle, constant speed(s), orlight load, or if makeup oil is required, a longer break inperiod may be needed. Refer to the engine operator’smanual for a full description of necessary procedures onthe addition of break-in oil and extension of the break-inperiod. For more information on regular maintenanceintervals, refer to Basic Maintenance Schedule.

Resetting the Maintenance AlarmsThe PowerZone controller will display a warningmessage when the unit is due for maintenance orservice. The maintenance or service interval is set at250, 500 and 3,000 hours of engine running time. Oncethe unit has been serviced, the appropriate maintenancealarm reminder must be reset.

10. Press and hold for five seconds to savechanges. Press and hold O for five seconds todiscard changes made.

Testing DEFNOTE: Using DEF with the correct concentration iscritical to engine and after-treatment systemperformance. Extended storage and other conditions canadversely alter the DEF concentration.

If DEF quality is questionable, draw a sample out of theDEF tank or storage tank into a clear container. DEFmust be crystal clear. If DEF appears cloudy or has acolored tint, it is likely not within specification. DEF in thiscondition should not be used. Drain the tank, flush withdistilled water, and fill with new DEF. After filling the tank,check DEF concentration.

If the DEF passes the visual and smell tests, check theDEF concentration with a handheld refractometercalibrated to measure DEF.

DEF concentration should be checked when the enginehas been stored for extended periods, or if there issuspicion the engine or packaged DEF has beencontaminated with water.

Two approved tools are available through your JohnDeere dealer:

• JDG11594 Digital DEF Refractometer—A digitaltool providing an easy to read concentrationmeasurement.

• JDG11684 DEF Refractometer—A low-costalternative tool providing an analog reading.

Follow the instructions included with either tool to obtainthe measurement.

The correct DEF concentration is 31.8–33.2% urea. If theDEF concentration is not within specification, drain theDEF tank, flush with distilled water, and fill with new orgood DEF. If packaged DEF is not within specification,dispose of DEF packages and replace with new or goodDEF.

NOTE: Do not create DEF by mixing agricultural gradeurea with water. Agricultural grade urea does not meetthe necessary specifications and can damage the aftertreatment system.

DEF Tank CleaningProceed as follows to clean the DEF tank:

1. Drain DEF tank into a suitable container. SeeDisposal of DEF.

2. Flush DEF tank with distilled water, and fill withnew or good DEF.

Maintenance

Disposal of DEFLarge amounts of DEF should be contained. If large spillsoccur, contact local environmental authorities forassistance with clean up.

If a substantial quantity of DEF is not within specification,contact the DEF supplier for assistance with disposal. Donot dump large quantities of DEF onto the ground orsend DEF to wastewater treatment facilities.

Check Generator Drive Plate Torque1. Disconnect battery.

2. Remove generator fan guard.

3. Tighten each of the drive plate bolts to 40 ft-lbs (54 Nm).

4. Install generator fan guard.

5. Connect battery.

Jack MaintenanceThe following procedures should be performed annually.

Side-Wind Models

• The internal gearing and bushings of the jack mustbe kept lubricated. Apply a small amount ofautomotive grease to the internal gearing byremoving the jack cover, or if equipped, use aneedle nose applicator or standard grease gun onthe lubrication point on the side of the jack near thecrank. Rotate the jack handle to distribute thegrease evenly.

• A lightweight oil must be applied to the handle unitat both sides of the tube.

• If equipped, the axle bolt and nut assembly of thecaster wheel must also be lubricated with the samelightweight oil.

Top-Wind Models

• Apply a lightweight oil to the screw stem.

Figure 4-1. Lubrication Points

Trailer Wheel BearingsThe trailer axles are equipped with a grease fitting toallow lubrication of the wheel bearings without needing todisassemble the axle hub. To lubricate the axle bearings,remove the small rubber plug on the grease cap, attach astandard grease gun fitting to the grease fitting, andpump grease into the fitting until new grease is visiblearound the nozzle of the grease gun. Use only a highquality grease made specifically for lubrication of wheelbearings. Wipe any excess grease from the hub with aclean cloth and replace the rubber plug when finished.The minimum recommended lubrication is every 12months or 12,000 miles (19,312 km). More frequentlubrication may be required under extremely dusty ordamp operating conditions.
