Manual for Genset with Light tower

[CaptB]

I have obtained four model TP-5A4-DC genset w/light towers for our emergency management agency. They have Onan 6.0 diesel generators and as best as I could tell, the light towers and portable trailer setup was produced by Over-Lowe. They supply 120/240 for the tower lights(4) and electrical outlets.

Been looking for a technical manual on their maintenance and operation. Could anyone point me in the right direction to find that? The ones listed on this site don't seem to over what I have. Can supply picture if needed.

Thanks much

I don't have the manual, but would be interested in a pic. I might have a similar unit.

Dataplates Info

Any dataplates on the trailer? Usually the military sets will have several dataplates, one that tells you what manual supports the set as well as a nomenclature (like M125 or whatever) and description. With this info, you can maybe find it on the Army ETM site: https://www.logsa.army.mil/etms/find_etm.cfm
If it has an "A" in the DIS column, you can download it without a clearance.

Not much information on any of the plates on the trailer, just the manufacturer:Over-Lowe 29020; Contract # F41608-81-D-0018 and the NSN: 6230-01-096-3508.

Do a search on here and google for TP-5A4-DC. I haven't found any manuals yet. Wayne

Look for a manual for the civilian version

If he hasn't found the info in 4 years he probably gave up.

I bought 2 of those about a year ago...I couldn't find a manual for mine either. The gensets were 12 volt civvy versions anyway...very similar to the MEP-002a.

I've had mine for more than 4 years and I haven't gave up yet. I've been searching for another very hard to find manual for longer and just found it this month so it does work. Wayne

 

[M1075]

I haven't had any luck finding a manual either. I would be grateful if anyone has any leads. The mfg is Over-Lowe, the contract is F 41608-81-D-0018, the model is TP-5A4-DC and the NSN is 6230-01-096-3508.

As far as I can find out, that unit was originally spec'd and deliver to the Air Force.

You are looking to a Technical Order number 35F5-5-16-1

If I come accross it I will send it to you.

Hey guys,

Are you all looking for info on the engine or the light tower or the whole unit?

Did anyone ever find a manual for one of these? May be buying one for a portable ham radio tower.
Thanks

Anyone ever find the manual for this? Also, anyone with one know what size the tank is?
