Looks like it.

Hmm, good question. Will check it next time I pull the tarp. Does that one have known issues? -- Carl

No, I'm limited to public domain info. So when a new guy shows up in the shop and he needs to get up to speed on one of these pieces of equipment, where do you have him start? I like having all the reference material available, just trying to figure out how to prioritize. -- Carl

Thanks, good suggestions. I'm working towards giving it a few hour continuous run. -- Carl

Yep, starts right back up. It gets a low oil pressure light but I think that's because the engine is being dragged down to a stop. I've checked the oil pressure with an analog guage and it's fine. Reading the technical manual, it looks like when you get overload or over voltage lights that the...

Ah, I see. That's the power of ignorance: not having any idea how hard it is to do what you're asking for! :) The reason I mentioned it is that I ran across the quad fuse modification recently, which my unit doesn't have, and that got me wondering what other documentation there was that I...

I did a little more testing, it was a volt or two high at the lugs. Voltage on both lugs is stable under load. Tried to repeat the overload test result but getting different behavior now. The unit hangs in there with the load for a while, then begins to lose rpms and shuts down. I could have...

I'm looking at a Kill A Watt plugged into the convenience outlet, and the control panel voltmeter agrees, but I didn't check the lugs with a multimeter, will add that to the "next time" list. -- Carl

Got a coil top stove and have been using it to load my system. First time it has had anything other than convenience outlet exercise. It was originally dropping out around 32A@240V. The AC interrupter light would go out and the engine would be back to running at no-load speed. After cleaning...

How about adding TB 11-6115-741-24 to the list? Or did I overlook it? -- Carl

Thank you for this post. My 803 was dropping out around 32A@240V during load testing with an oven. After cleaning and exercising S8 it sustained 48A@240V, everything the oven could give it, for half an hour until I ran out of daylight. Woohoo! :) Now I need more load to see where it cries...

Yes, please post! -- Carl

Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried going the manufacturer route on Friday. Thanks to Guyfang's tutorial on how to decipher the parts manual I was able to look the parts up on Donaldson's site. Clicking on their "where to buy" link pointed me to a local Freightliner shop. Those guys where...

If anyone's got a unit they're parting out I need an air filter assembly. Let me know, thanks! -- Carl

>I need to check it with my Kill A Watt, can anyone tell me where I put it? Just for future reference, the answer was "ask your teenager". The voltage and frequency look pretty stable on the Kill A Watt meter, but the frequency meter on the panel jumps around. Working on a way to do some...

I do now, thanks for the head's up. Pictures of mine below. -- Carl

Woohoo, it lives! :) You guys put me exactly on the right path with looking at S1. I measured an open circuit between pin 2 and the other common pins, worked the switch back and forth a while and got continuity. Sure helps to have feedback from the multimeter to know when you're "done"...

Rain has shut me down for today, will try this tomorrow and let you know what I find. Update: ignoring the lack of press to test lighting, the engine does start and run for as long as I hold it in start, then shuts down when I release back to prime & run. Not sure what that means, just passing...

I appreciate the suggestions. I exercised it all, no change though. Trying to make sense of the schematic now. I'm getting power past the E-stop switch because I can see the panel lights come on when the switch is out. Back to the schematic... -- Carl
