I seem to recall reading something like this, I can't imagine it being too difficult. Just make sure the filter is fine enough and has enough flow

I put my 004 on a slab and built a metal shed around it. To vent the radiator heat I just cut a hole in the wall and ducted the radiator outside

Look at your dc circuit breaker. One terminal should have 2 wires the other should have 1. The single is the load. The other 2 one is battery the other is alternator make sure they are all connected. (Ive come across a few disconnected for some dumb reason). First time i dropped 100$ on an...
Dont trust the charging ammeter. My 004 gives inconsistent readings but it charges. Use a digital volt meter, check the battery voltage then check it while running. Battery should be approx 24 vdc. Running will end up somewhere around 25 to 28 vdc.

Do not connect copper to aluminum they will cause galvanic action and the aluminum will degrade. Electrically the ground stud and L0 are the same.

Stick with the 4 wire. In a 3 wire setup the ground and neutral are shared. Its better to keep the ground as only a ground.

The way he is describing his setup, the proper place to bond is at the generator and not the panel. Make sure the bonding screw in the panel is not installed and the grounds and neutrals are separated

Ok. Since theres no utilities here this is an instance where you need to bond the generator. The ground rods get attached to the generator frame, the L0 terminal should be attached to the frame of the generator as well. If both are true your ground wire can be attached to the frame or L0 as they...
Hard to tell online. Alot of people make very bad mistakes with grounding and bonding (master electrician turned engineer here). You will need a 1 to 1 transformer to filter. Its size is determined by the output current. To prove the concept you can use a smaller transformer to test (in a pinch...
It depends if there is a switching action on your neutral if you're switching the hots only then do not bond the generator if you are switching the neutral as well then you need to bond the generator.
If you are running with a bond in the system can be at your panel if you're not switching the...
