SAFETY ALERTS AND PRECAUTIONS
A generator set can be potentially dangerous if not properly
maintained and operated. The Best safeguard against a
dangerous situation is education, good judgment and common
sense. For safe trouble free operation of your generator set
some general precautions are listed below. Be sure to read,
understand and follow these precautions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) HOT PIPING - An engine and exhaust system may get extremely hot while
running. Do not work on a generator set until it has sufficiently cooled.
2) DANGEROUS FUELS - Use extreme caution when handling, storing and using fuels. All fuels
are highly explosive in a vaporous state. Store fuel in a well ventilated area away from spark
producing equipment. Keep fuels and all chemicals out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to
the tank while the engine is running. Spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot parts or from
ignition spark. Always keep fuel lines and connections tight and in good condition. Don’t replace
flexible lines with rigid lines. If you notice any fuel leakage, fuel accumulation or electrical sparks,
DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR SET.
3) EXPLOSIVE BATTERY GASES - The gases generated by a battery being charged are highly
explosive. Do not smoke or permit any flames or sparks to occur near a battery at any time,
especially when it is being charged. Avoid contact between terminals with tools to prevent sparks
and possible burns. Always remove wristwatch, rings, or other jewelry before handling a battery.
Any compartment containing batteries should be well ventilated to prevent the accumulation of
explosive gases. To avoid sparks never disturb the battery charging connections while the battery
is being charged. Always turn off the battery charger before disconnecting the terminal clips.
4) ELECTROCUTION
- Failure to install a generator set with an electrical system consistent
with governing regulations and standards is UNLAWFUL and may cause ELECTROCUTION.
Your generator set must not be used to “Back Feed” by connecting it to a building or outdoor
electrical circuit. Back feeding can cause serious injury or death to utility personnel working to
repair a power outage and may also seriously injure persons in your vehicle.
Unauthorized connections are unlawful in some states and/or localities. A transfer switch must be
installed to prevent interconnection of the generator set power and outside power.
5) MOVING PARTS
- Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from belts, fan and related pulleys
when unit is running. Replace guards, covers and screens before operating the generator set.
Serious personal injury may occur from contact with moving parts.
4
6) HIGH VOLTAGE - Remember the function of a generator set is to produce
electricity. Wherever electricity is present there is a potential danger of electrocution.
Apply the same precautions to the vehicles electrical appliances as you would for any
home appliance. Keep away from electrical circuits and wiring while the generator set is
running. Have electrical service performed only by qualified electricians. Be sure any
unauthorized person; especially children are denied access to the generator set. Keep the
compartment door closed or secured at all times. Be sure the generator set is properly
grounded to chassis. Never touch generator electrical leads or appliances with wet hands,
or when standing on wet ground.
7) EXPLOSION - Never connect the negative (-) battery cable to the positive (+)
connection terminal of the starter solenoid, or test the battery by shorting the terminals
together. This could ignite fuel vapors or cause the battery to explode. To disconnect the
battery remove the negative battery cable first and reconnect it last. Do not modify the
propulsion engine fuel system. Your vehicle must be equipped with a fuel pick-up
arrangement as described in the Fuel System section of this manual. Fuel tank and
installation must conform to applicable regulations.
8) HOT COOLANT - Allow engine to cool and release pressure from the cooling
system before opening the radiator pressure cap. To release the pressure, cover the
radiator cap with a thick cloth then turn it slowly counterclockwise to the first stop. After
the pressure is released and the engine has cooled, remove the cap.
9) LETHAL EXHAUST GAS - When installing an exhaust system position the tailpipe
end so that the discharged gases may not be drawn into the vehicle interior through
windows, doors, air conditioners, etc. The engine powering your generator set discharges
deadly carbon monoxide as part of the exhaust gas when running. It is essential that the
exhaust system should be leak proof and routinely inspected.
10) EXCESSIVE NOISE - Never operate the generator set without an adequate muffler
or with a faulty exhaust system. Exposure to excessive noise can lead to hearing
impairment.
11) ELECTRICAL SHOCK
- A battery can cause electrical burns and shocks. Use
reasonable care when working near the battery to avoid electrical connections by
contacting the battery terminals with tools. Remove wristwatch, rings, and all jewelry
when working on the generator set.
12) FLASH FIRE - A sudden flash fire can cause serious burns. To avoid the possibility
of a flash fire do not smoke or permit a flame or spark to occur near the fuel lines, fuel
filter, fuel pump or other potential source of spilled fuel or vapors.
13) FIRE HAZARD
- Be careful when parking your vehicle to prevent grass fires from
being started by hot exhaust gases or exhaust system. Keep away from hot engine and
generator parts to avoid burning yourself. Keep the generator set and compartment clean
and free of debris, especially combustible materials. Never store fuel, oil or rags in the
generator compartment.
5
14) UNIT STARTS WIITHOUT NOTICE - To prevent accidental starting of the unit
with remote start/stop switch, always turn the ON/OFF switch located on the set mounted
Control Panel to the OFF position, then disconnect the battery by removing the negative (-)
terminal first and then the positive (+). Always disconnect the unit in this manner before
working on the generator or any equipment connected to it.
15) LOOSE COMPONENTS - Periodically check for and tighten any fasteners that
may have become loose from vibration or road shock. Serious damage may possibly
occur if components become dislodged or misaligned.
16) DIESEL ENGINE DAMAGE - To prevent engine damage from occurring, do not
operate the unit before completing the installation which includes, checking engine oil
level, connecting fuel lines, checking coolant level, and making sure all electrical
connections are made.

Warning
Diesel Engine Exhaust and some
of its constituents are known by the
State of California to cause
Cancer, Birth Defects and Other
Reproductive harm.
INSTALLING THE PT-3000
PREPERATION OF PT-3000
Select the location for the PT-3000. Determine if you will need spacers to clear
any bolts or anything that may interfere with installing the unit to the frame rail. If
spacers are required, longer mounting bolts may be required for the install.
LOCATE THE PT-3000 ON THE FRAME RAIL
When choosing a location for the PT-3000, several things need to be considered.
Vehicles with a longer wheel base should have the PT-3000 mounted to avoid
obstructions in the road such as railroad tracks, speed bumps, curbs, etc. Each truck is
different and may require a different installation process. Before beginning the
installation, lay out the placement of all the components that will be installed.
The PT-3000 is designed to be mounted on the existing frame rails of the truck.
Mounting the unit on the frame rail with supplied frame angle brackets and hardware is
the only acceptable installation. Fabrication of another mounting rail may be unsafe with
the given weight and balance of the unit.
Standard PT-3000 Location: Vehicle passenger side.
This is the standard installation choice. Replaces steps into vehicle cab or further
back by the cat walk. Some trucks have steps to the catwalk on the drivers’ side frame
rail, however the passenger side will usually have fewer obstructions.
Alternate PT-3000 Location: Vehicle Driver Side.
This is a secondary installation location. It may be necessary to remove existing
steps to the catwalk.
Radiator must have free air flow with no obstructions
Radiator must be protected from grease sling
Cooling air for the PT-3000 engine and generator is drawn into the enclosure
through an air duct and discharges through the rear panel. These areas must remain free
of any obstructions that would restrict normal air flow.
ASSEMBLE THE MOUNTING BRACKETS
The PT-3000 comes with all the hardware required for the complete installation of
the unit. The loose parts contain all the necessary bolts, nuts and washers for assembling
the frame rail mounting angle brackets.
7
MOUNTING THE PT-3000 TO THE FRAME
Be sure to use a forklift, transmission jack, overhead lift or other device to lift the
PT-3000. Make sure the unit is stable before trying to place it on the frame rail. Determine
the height the unit needs to be installed and secure the mounting brackets to the enclosure.
Place the unit in the desired location and mark the mounting holes on the frame side rail.
Drill the frame rail to accept the 5/8” bolts and securely fasten.
EXHAUST PIPE
Maintain a minimum 3” clearance between any exhaust components and any
surrounding combustible materials. If the minimum clearance cannot be met an insulating
shield designed for exhaust components must be used. Extend the exhaust outlet a
minimum of 1” past the perimeter of the vehicle. The exhaust system CANNOT be
terminated under the vehicle chassis. Exhaust outlet must be in a position, which prevents
exhaust gases from entering the living quarters. The exhaust system should be routed in a
manner, which eliminates the possibility of re-circulation into the PT-3000 enclosure.
A skid plate may be installed to protect the PT-3000 and exhaust system from road hazards.
Joining the PT-3000 exhaust together with the trucks main exhaust may cause irreparable
harm pleases consult with Power Tech prior to making any such connections.
EXHAUST GASES AND FIRE PREVENTION
Engine exhaust fumes can be very harmful if allowed to
accumulate. Be sure to run the engine in a well-ventilated area
where there are no people or livestock near by.
The exhaust gas from the muffler is very hot. To prevent a fire,
to not expose dry grass, oil or any other combustible materials
to exhaust gas. Keep the engine and mufflers clean all the time.
To avoid a fire, be alert for leaks of flammables from hoses and
lines. Be sure to check for leaks from hoses and pipes, such as
fuel and hydraulic by following the maintenance check list.
To avoid a fire, do not short across power cables and wires.
check to see that all power cables and wires are in good
condition. Keep all power connections clean. Bare wire or
Frayed insulation can cause a dangerous electrical shock and Personal injury.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Diesel fuel vapors can be very explosive. Use caution when
working in or around the area of the fuel tank.
Before drilling into a fuel tank it is recommended to drain all fuel
from the tank.
Be very careful when drilling into a fuel tank. Sparks can be
caused by an electric drill or a drill bit that may cause an explosion. (SUGGESTION)
Apply heavy grease around the holes when drilling and tapping into fuel tank to keep
metal shavings from falling into fuel tank.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE WORKING NEAR FUEL TANK.
VERY IMPORTANT!! Check fuel tank for baffles and gauge arms before drilling into
fuel tank. A fuel pick-up could interfere with the floats and render your fuel gauge
inoperable.

Tools Required for Fuel Pick-Up Installation
Tape Measure Tubing Cutter
Drill Heavy Grease
¼” Drill Bit Thread sealant
Step Reamer Bit or ¾” Drill Bit
INSTALLING THE FUEL TUBES AND LINES
The diesel fuel system for the PT-3000 must be designed to operate independently
from the vehicles main engine. In most installations both engines operate
from a common fuel tank with separate pick-up tubes for each engine, not a Tee fitting
arrangement. This prevents either or both engines from being starved for fuel. The APU’s
fuel pick-up tube should be shorter than the vehicles; therefore fuel may not be available
to the APU when fuel supply is low. This will prevent the APU from depleting the fuel
supply needed by the main drive engine.
NOTE: Using a simple Tee fitting to supply both engines from a common fuel line is not
recommended. This practice may possibly cause a fuel starvation situation to either or
both engines. Also, if excessive pressure were to build up in the main supply line it could
possibly cause a failure of the APU’s fuel lines or connectors and a hazardous fuel leak
may occur.
Care must be taken when routing the fuel lines from the main tank to the APU. Keep
the fuel line as short as possible while maintaining adequate clearance from the exhaust
system and moving components. Fuel lines must be run along the frame side rails or
under carriage. Never run fuel lines inside the cab. Securely fasten the fuel lines with the
hardware that is recommended for the type of fuel line that is used. Allow a minimum of
8 inches of flexible fuel line to make the connection.
Fuel Pick-up Tube Assembly
Fuel Pick-up should be at least 3” shorter
than the depth of the fuel tank. Measure
the fuel tank and cut pick-up tubes to
desired length. Carefully bend the 3/16”
return tube 3” to 4” away from the supply
tube. Pull both tubes together and insert
into tank. Return tube will spring back to
the bent position. Tighten fitting and attach
fuel hoses.
10
INSTALL TANK PICK-UP
After checking for baffles and fuel gauge linkage, pick a spot on fuel tank for the fuel
pick-up tubes (usually top center of tank on end closest to the APU). Apply heavy grease
to spot where hole is to be drilled. The grease will help keep metal shavings out of fuel
tank. Drill a ¼” pilot hole. You may want to use several different drill bit sizes to get up
to the ¾” bit required for the fuel pick-up tube. Once you have a ¾” hole, clean all metal
shavings from the hole. Reapply heavy grease and using the ½” NPT tap the threads for
the fuel pick-up tube. Clean area very thoroughly.
Determine the length needed for the pick-up tube. The recommended length for the
pick-up tube is 3” shorter than the depth of the fuel tank. Cut pick-up tube to length
needed. Apply thread sealant to the threads of the pick-up tube and screw into fuel tank.
Be sure that pick-up tube connections are suitably positioned to allow connecting the fuel
hoses and clamps.
ROUTING AND CONNECTING THE FUEL LINES
Care must be taken when routing the fuel lines. You must route lines so they can
be strapped securely and in a way that they will not come into contact with anything hot,
or any moving components. Suggested routing of fuel lines is as follows: Lines coming
out of the APU, run up into the inside of frame rails. Strap lines either to the backside of
the unit, or at first bend in the frame rail. Run along the inside of the frame rail until you
reach the fuel tank and the fuel pick-up tubes. Be sure that you have no kinks in the line
and that the line is run away from anything abrasive. Strap fuel lines securely with tie
straps or clamps.
Once fuel line is secure, cut the fuel lines to desired length with a hose cutter or
utility knife. Trim the hose loom back approximately 1 ½”. There are 2 different size
hoses. The 5/16 hose is for fuel supply and the 3/16 hose is for fuel return. Place 2 - #4
hose clamps (provided) on the end of the 5/16-fuel line and slip onto the larger of the two
tubes on the fuel pick-up tube. Tighten both clamps on the 5/16-fuel line. Once the
supply line is secure, do the same with the 3/16 return line. Make sure all 4 clamps are
secure.
11
INSTALLING THE BATTERY CABLES
IMPORTANT! DO NOT CONNECT BATTERY POSITIVE CABLE UNTIL
THE PT-3000 UNIT IS READY TO BE TEST RUN.
Turn the main power switch on the PT-3000 to the OFF position to ensure the
unit will not start prematurely.
Route the positive and negative battery cables from the PT-3000 to the batteries.
Cut battery cables to desired length. Strip the insulation on both cables back about ½”.
Slide heat shrink over the end of the cables. Place copper connector
onto the end of the positive cable and crimp with a crimping tool. Slide heat shrink
up over the crimped spot on the connector and apply heat to heat shrink. Use the same
procedure on the negative battery cable.
Be sure the areas where the battery cables are to be connected are clean and free
of debris that may cause a bad connection. DO NOT connect the positive battery cable
until the installation is complete.
ROUTING AC POWER WIRES AND REMOTE CONTROL WIRES
The remote start wires should be routed with the AC output wires. Make sure the
remote wires are secured inside the frame rail. Run the remote start wires through the
same grommet used for the AC power cable. Secure harness using wire ties. Route the
harness to the location where the control panel will be mounted.
INSTALLING THE AC POWER OUTPUT WIRES
The AC power output wires (SO cord / cable) should be routed in a way that they
will not come into contact with anything abrasive. Suggested routing of the power cable
is, run the loose end of the cable up to the frame rail. Clamp or tie the cable. Run the
cable inside the frame rail making sure they are secured. Once under the cab, route cable
to the underside of the bunk area.
Inside the sleeper, lift bunk, determine where the heating and air conditioner unit
will be installed (see section on installing heating and air conditioner) locate an area to
mount the terminal block. The terminal block will be the central power connection from
the PT-3000. Once desired location is determined, use a 1 ¼” hole saw to make a hole for
the AC output leads to come into the sleeper area. After hole is drilled, place 1 ¼”
grommet in the hole to assure that chaffing doesn’t occur. Run AC output leads through
this grommet. Secure the terminal block to the floor using the screws provided.
NOTE:
To prevent cracking the terminal block, mount to a hard flat surface.

control box to the desired location with the screws provided.
INSTALLING THE POWER OUTLET BOX
SELECT LOCATION
Determine the location for the AC power outlet box. It should be mounted where the
driver has easy access to the outlets. Consideration should be taken as to the devices the
driver will need AC power for such as, Television, microwave, refrigerator etc.
Suggestion, mount the outlet box where most of the appliances a driver may use will be
within reach of the outlets without the use of extension chords.
MOUNTING THE POWER OUTLET BOX
Secure the power outlet box to desired location with the screws provided.
ROUTING WIRES
Once location has been chosen for the power outlet box, route the wires back to the
terminal block making sure the wires are secured with wire ties or clamps. These wires
should be ran in a way that they will not interfere with anything under the bunk and clear
of anything abrasive.
CONNECTIONS
Once wires are secured connections for the AC power can be made. Cut the outlet box
cord to the desired length. Carefully remove approximately 2” to 2 ½” of the outer jacket
from the cord. Separate the 3 wires and crimp the appropriate terminal connector to each
wire. Connect the black positive (+) wire to the black wire on the terminal block. Connect
the white wire to the white wire on the terminal block and the green wire to the ground
(green) wire on the terminal block.
15
INSTALLING THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING SYSTEM
(Optional)
The PT-3000 system uses a heating and air conditioning unit manufactured by the
Dometic Corporation. A complete installation manual is with the heating and air
conditioning system. Use this manual to successfully install the heating and air
conditioner unit.
When making electrical connections for the heating and air conditioning system,
be sure to use the RED wire on the terminal block to power the system. The white and
green wires will be connected to the terminals along with the power outlet box white and
green wires. It is VERY IMPORTANT these connections be made this way to prevent
overload to a single circuit. Make certain all connections are tight and secure.
Once all connections are made, install the terminal block cover using the screws
provided.
BATTERY CHARGER INSTALLATION
The PT-3000 system includes a separate battery charger which will be installed in the cab
of the vehicle. Choose a convenient location with adequate spacing (3” min.) and
ventilation for the fan. Follow the manufacturers’ installation manual included with the
battery charger
. Two leads (Red & Black) are supplied with the loose parts and will be
used to connect the battery charger to the vehicle batteries. Carefully route all wiring and

FIRST TIME START UP
Before starting the PT-3000:
Check oil level in the Engine
Check coolant level
Make sure all electrical connections are complete
Make sure fuel lines are connected and contain no kinks
Make sure driver control panel Start/Stop switch is in OFF position
Make sure the main power switch in the control panel on the APU is in OFF position
Connect the positive battery cable from the APU to the truck battery
Purge all air from fuel system (See Below)
Check that Air Conditioner / Heater and all AC loads are Turned OFF.
IMPORTANT: Purging Air from Fuel System
Before starting the PT-3000 for the first time it is important to purge the fuel
system of all air trapped in the fuel lines. To do this disconnect the Positive + terminal of
the electric fuel pump from the wiring harness and jumper it to a +12V DC source
(Positive + Battery post on starter). The pump will begin pumping fuel and force any
trapped air out through the return line. Continue pumping fuel through the system for 1
minute. Disconnect the jumper wire and reconnect the Positive + terminal of the fuel
pump to the wiring harness. The PT-3000 is now ready to start.
Turn the main power switch located on the control panel inside the APU to the
ON position. Inside the truck, turn the driver’s control switch to the ON position. The
APU will begin the pre-heat and engine cranking cycle.
WARNING: Be careful of moving parts!!!
17
Once the engine has started, check the APU for coolant, fuel, oil and exhaust
leaks. Place the APU cover on the unit.
With a multi-meter, check the voltage at the AC power outlet box in the sleeper of
the truck. Voltage should read between 120 to 125 volts AC.
Allow APU to run for approximately 10 minutes and check again for coolant, oil,
fuel and exhaust leaks. After checking the APU over thoroughly, test the heating and air
conditioning unit for proper operation. Allow the APU to run for 30 minutes with the
heating and air conditioning unit in operation. This will put a load on the APU and allow
the unit to build up more heat. At the end of the 30-minute time period, turn the heating
and air conditioning unit off and push the driver control panel switch to the OFF Position.
Remove the front cover and check for coolant leaks. If no leaks are visible, replace front
cover.
Congratulations, The installation is complete.

Engine starting controls
1) PT-3000 Main switch (located on the internal control panel on the APU) must
Be in ON position.
NOTE: This switch should be in the ON position except when performing
maintenance or to prevent starting for any reason.
2) Toggle the driver control panel switch to the ON position.
3) Glow plugs will preheat for 8 seconds. LED light flashes slowly.
4) Preheating will cease during engine cranking cycle. LED light continues flashing.
5) Engine begins an 8 second crank cycle, After 4 seconds of cranking the PT ECU-
64 will check for an AC signal from the generator. If an AC signal is verified the
engine will start and the LED will remain ON during the normal run operation. If
the AC signal is not verified the PT ECU-64 will terminate the cranking cycle and
LED light will flash a fault code.
6) Starter disengages immediately after engine run is verified.
7) PT ECU-64 deactivates the low Oil Pressure and high Water Temperature
switches for 6 seconds; this will assure oil pressure build up time. If oil pressure
does not build up the engine will immediately shut down and go into a fault mode.
Likewise for a high temperature situation.
8) If engine will not start on the first attempt the PT ECU-64 will initiate the start
cycle 2 more times before going into fault mode. Glow plugs will preheat for 8
seconds per attempt. Engine will crank for 8 seconds per attempt.
9) To shut down the engine under normal operations, push the driver control box
switch to the STOP position.
10) If a fault occurs during the normal operation of the PT-3000 the LED on the
driver control box will repeat a flashing code. This code will help troubleshoot the
problem. Count the flashes to determine the problem and refer to the service
manual for corrective procedures. The fault codes are as follows
LED Flashes 1 Time: Failure to Start
LED Flashes 2 Times: High Water Temperature
LED Flashes 3 Times: Low oil Pressure
LED Flashes 4 Times: No AC signal
20
3) If a fault occurs during the operation of the PT-3000, correct the problem and then
reset the PT ECU-64. To do this the main power switch for the APU (located on
the internal control panel on the APU) must be turned OFF then back ON. This
will clear the fault code.
IMPORTANT: Make sure driver control panel switch is in the OFF position before
attempting to clear fault codes. If driver control panel switch is in ON position when
resetting the ECU, the unit will start and possibly cause injury.
Stopping the Engine
It is recommended to disconnect or reduce the power load by turning off
appliances before shutting down the engine. Push the drivers control switch to the STOP
position, the engine will stop.
Powering Appliances and Auxiliary Systems
Once the PT-3000 is running, you will have AC power through the power outlet
box. Plug devices such as television, DVD player, cell phone charger etc. directly into
outlet.
For heating and air conditioning system please refer to the user’s guide supplied
with the heating and air conditioning system.
IMPORTANT: Damage to starter motor, starter solenoid, run solenoid or any generator
component due to excessive or prolonged starting attempts, or attributed to an external
low battery control monitoring or auto start system not approved by Power Technology
SE Inc. will not be covered by the Power Technology SE inc. limited warranty.

APPLIANCE LOADS
PT-3000 maybe used to supply AC voltage for appliances. With the exception of
a resistance-type load such as a heating element, requirements for appliances are usually
low. However, such loads must not be overlooked when calculating the total wattage
requirements. To avoid an overload situation, reserve capacity should also be calculated
for unanticipated appliance loads. The average power requirements for some common

CHECKING RESERVOIR TANK
COOLANT LEVEL
(At a Minimum of 25 Hours of Operation)
Ensure that the coolant level of the radiator
reservoir tank is between the upper limit (FULL)
and the lower limit (LOW).
CLEANING RADIATOR CORE
Visually inspect the core for any obstructions such
as dirt or debris. Use running water to clean
particles from between fins.
IMPORTANT: Never use hard objects to clean
radiator core, damage to core could result.
COOLANT RECOMMENDATIONS
For optimum performance, Power Technology
recommends a 1:1 mixture of water / glycol.
NOTE: Use a mixture that will provide
protection against the lowest ambient
temperature.
NOTE: 100 percent pure glycol will freeze at a
temperature of –23°C (-9°F).
Most conventional heavy-duty coolant /
antifreezes use Ethylene Glycol. Propylene
Glycol may also be used in a 1:1 mixture with
water. Ethylene and Propylene Glycol provide
similar protection against freezing and boiling.
See the tables below.
ETHYLENE GLYCOL
Freeze Boil
Concentration Protection Protection
50 Percent -36°C (-33°F) 106°C (223°F)

PROPYLENE GLYCOL
Freeze Boil
Concentration Protection Protection
50 Percent -29°C (-20°F) 106°C (223°F)
NOTE: Do not use Propylene Glycol in
concentrations that exceed 50 percent glycol
because of Propylene Glycol’s reduced heat
transfer capability. Use Ethylene Glycol in
conditions that require additional protection
against boiling or freezing.
