equipment in a confined area or enclosed structure that
does not provide ample free flow air.
WARNING - EXPLOSIVE FUEL
SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
Diesel fuel is extremely flammable, and
its vapors can cause an explosion if
ignited. DO NOT start the engine near
spilled fuel or combustible fluids.
DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine
is running or hot.
The three (3) Safety Messages shown below will inform you
about potential hazards that could injure you or others. The
Safety Messages specifically address the level of exposure
to the operator, and are preceded by one of three words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
DO NOT overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or sparks from
the ignition system. Store fuel in approved containers, in
well-ventilated areas and away from sparks and flames.
NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
DANGER
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY injured if you
do not follow directions.
WARNING
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS
Engine components can generate extreme
heat.To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these
areas while the engine is running or
immediately after operations. NEVER
operate the engine with heat shields or heat
guards removed.
You COULD be KILLED or SERIOUSLY injured if
you do not follow directions.

DCA-15SPX4 — SAFETY MESSAGE ALERT SYMBOLS
WARNING - ROTATING PARTS
CAUTION - RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
NEVER operate equipment with covers,
or guards removed. Keep fingers, hands,
hair and clothing away from all moving
parts to prevent injury.
ALWAYS wear approved respiratory
protection.
CAUTION - ACCIDENTAL STARTING
CAUTION - SIGHT AND HEARING HAZARDS
ALWAYS place the engine ON/OFF
switch (MPEC) in the OFF/RESET
position when the generator is not in use.
ALWAYS wear approved eye and
hearing protection.
CAUTION - OVER-SPEED CONDITIONS
CAUTION - EQUIPMENT DAMAGE MESSAGES
NEVER tamper with the factory settings
of the engine governor or settings.
Personal injury and damage to the engine
or equipment can result if operating in
speed ranges above maximum allowable.
Other important messages are provided throughout this
manual to help prevent damage to your generator, other
property, or the surrounding environment.
CAUTION - ENGINE LOAD (WET-STACKING)
Wet-Stacking is a common problem with diesel engines
which are operated for extended periods with light or no
load applied. When a diesel engine operates without
sufficient load (less than 40% of the rated output) it will
not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow
unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system, which
can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and exhaust
system, including turbocharges, and reduce the operating
performance.
This generator, other property, or
the surrounding environment
could be damaged if you do not
follow instructions.
In order for a diesel engine to operate at peak efficiency it
must be able to provide fuel and air in the proper ratio and
at a high enough engine temperature for the engine to
completely burn all of the fuel.
Wet stacking does usually cause any permanent damage
and can be alleviated if additional load is applied to relieve
the condition. It can reduce the system performance and
increase maintenance. Applying an increasing load over a
period of time until the excess fuel is burned off and the
system capacity is reached usually can repair the condition.
This can take several hours to burn off the accumulated
unburned fuel.

rod should be buried aminimum of 8 ft. into the 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.
When connecting the generator
to any buildings electrical
system ALWAYS consult with
a licensed electrician.
NOTE
Mounting
The generator must be mounted on a solid foundation (such
as concrete) and set firmly on the foundation to isolate
vibration of the generator when it is running. The generator
must set at least 6 inches above the floor or grade level (in
accordance to NFPA 110, Chapter 5-4.1). DO NOT remove
the metal skids on the bottom of the generator. They are to
resist damage to the bottom of the generator and to maintain

Generator
The generator is equipped with the state of the art "Open-
Delta" excitation system. The open delta system consist of
The MQ Power Model DCA-15SPX4 is a 15 kW generator
(Figure 3) that is designed as a high quality portable (requires
a trailer for transport) power source for telecom sites, lighting
facilities, power tools, submersible pumps and other industrial
and construction machinery.
an electrically independent winding wound among stationary
windings of the AC output section.
There are four connections of the open delta A, B, C and D.
During steady state loads, the power from the voltage regulator
is supplied from the parallel connections of A to B, A to D,
and C to D. These three phases of the voltage input to the
voltage regulator are then rectified and are the excitation
current for the exciter section.
Generator Control Panel
The “Engine Operating Panel” is provided with the following:
■
Warning Lamp Unit
When a heavy load, such as a motor starting or a short
circuit occurs, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
switches the configuration of the open delta to the series
connection of B to C.This has the effect of adding the voltages
of each phase to provide higher excitation to the exciter
section and thus better voltage response during the
application of heavy loads.

DCA-15SPX4 — LOAD APPLICATION/MAXIMUM AMPERAGE
Single Phase Load
Motors and motor-driven
equipment draw much greater
current for starting than during
operation.
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator
NOTE
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage, frequency
,
and voltage requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the
generator for operating the equipment.
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.
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. See Table 6.
■
■
■
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.
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.
When connecting an electric drill or other power tools,
pay close attention to the required starting current
capacity.
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE
The power factor of this generator is 0.8. See Table 5 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.

Service Daily
General Inspection
If the engine is operating in very dusty or dry grass
conditions, a clogged air cleaner will result.This can lead to
a loss of power, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion
chamber and high fuel consumption. Change air cleaner
more frequently if these conditions exists.
Prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and
inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or
damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel,
oil, and coolant leaks. Use Table 11 as a general engine
maintenance guideline (Refer to the Engine Instruction
Manual).
Fuel Addition
Air Cleaner
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season
and locations).
Every 250 hours: Remove air cleaner element and clean the
heavy duty paper element with light spray of compressed
air. Replace the air cleaner as needed.
Removing Water from the FuelTank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate
in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally inspect the fuel
tank for water contamination and drain the contents if
required.
Air Cleaner with Dust Indicator (If Equipped)
This indicator is attached to the air cleaner. When the air
cleaner element is clogged, air intake restriction becomes
greater and the dust indicator signal shows RED meaning
the element needs changing or service. After changing the
air element, press the dust indicator button to reset the
indicator.
During cold weather, the more empty volume inside the
tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.

Air Removal
Flushing Out Radiator and Replacing Coolant
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. See the KUBOTA
Engine Manual for details.
Open both cocks located at the crankcase side and at
the lower part of the radiator and drain coolant.Open the
radiator cap while draining. Remove the overflow tank
and drain.
Check hoses for softening and kinks. Check clamps for
signs of leakage.
To restart after running out of fuel, turn the switch to the
“ON” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This
unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.
Flush the radiator by running clean tap water through
radiator until signs of rust and dirt are removed.DO NOT
clean radiator core with any objects, such as a
screwdriver.
Check Oil Level
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 17.
Tighten both cocks and replace the overflow tank.
Replace with coolant as recommended by the engine
manufaturer.
Close radiator cap tightly.
Replacing Oil Filter
WARNING - BURN HAZARDS
Remove the old oil filter.
Apply a film of oil to the gasket on the new oil filter.
Install the new oil filter.
Allow engine to cool when flushing out
radiator. Flushing the radiator while hot
could cause serious burns from water or
steam.
After the oil cartridge has been replaced, the engine oil
will drop slightly. Run the engine for a while and check
for leaks before adding more oil if needed. Clean
excessive oil from engine.
Generator Storage
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer
For longe term storage of the generator the following is
recommended:
Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove
dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline.
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.
Fill the fuel tank completely. Treat with a fuel stabilizer
if necessary.
Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill if
necessary with fresh oil.
Replacing Fuel Filter
Clean the entire generator, internal and external.
Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.
Disconnect the battery.
Replace the fuel filter cartridge with new one every 500
hours or so.
Loosen the drain plug at the lower top of the fuel filter.
Drain the fuel in the fuel body together with the mixed
water. DO NOT spill the fuel during disassembly.
Make sure engine coolant is at proper level.
If generator is mounted on a trailer, jack trailer up and
place on blocks so tires do not touch the ground or block
and completely remove the tires.
Vent any air.

Jacket Water Heater and Internal Battery Charger
120VAC Input Receptacles (OPTIONAL)
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.
This generator can be optionally equipped with two 120VAC,
20 amp input receptacles located on the output terminal
panel.
The purpose of these receptacles is to provide power via
commercial power to the jacket water heater and internal
battery charger.
To ensure adequate starting
capability, always have power
applied to the generator's
internal battery charger.
NOTE
These receptacles will ONLY function when commercial
power has been supplied to them (Figure 36). To apply
commercial power to these receptacles, a power cord of
adequate size will be required (See Table 6).
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.

Brakes
Hydraulic Surge Brakes
Trailer brakes should be inspected the first 200 miles of Hydraulic surge brakes (Figure 37) should not require any
operation. This will allow the brake shoes and drums to seat special attention with the exception of routine maintenance
properly. After the first 200 mile interval, inspect the brakes such as shoe and lining replacement. Brake lines should be
every 3,000 miles. If driving over rough terrain, inspect the periodically checked for cracks, kinks, or blockage.
brakes more frequently.
Figure 37 displays the major hydraulic surge brake
components that will require inspection and maintenance.
Please inspect these components as required using steps 1
through 8 and Table 12 as listed below:
Brake Adjustment
1. Place the trailer on jack stands. Make sure the jack
stands are placed on secure level ground.
2. Check the wheel and drum for free rotation.
3. Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot
at the bottom brake backing plate.
4. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the
Figure 37. Hydraulic Brake Components
star wheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake
shoes.
Actuator
5. Adjust the brake shoes outward until the pressure of the
lining against the wheel drum makes the wheel difficult
to turn.
Hydraulic surge braking requires the installation of an actuator
at the tongue of the trailer. Remember the surge or push of
the trailer toward the tow vehicle automatically synchronizes
the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes. As the trailer
pushes against the tow vehicle the actuator telescopes
together and applies force to the master cylinder, supplying
hydraulic pressure to the trailer brakes.
6. Adjust, rotate the star wheel in the opposite direction
until the wheel rotates freely with slight lining drag.
7. Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the trailer to
the ground.
Periodically check and test the surge “actuator” to make
sure that it is functioning correctly. Never use an undersize
actuator.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 on the remaining brakes.
