amperage is available from the generator set. Some
circuit breakers may still have to be turned off to
prevent an overload on the generator during the initial
start up. See the nameplate on your generator for the
amperage capabilities of your unit.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load applied to
the generator will cause the generator to produce low
voltage and may damage the engine generator set. It
may also cause severe damage to the loads connected
to the generator at that time. Improper loading of the
generator set constitutes abuse and will not be covered
by warranty.
ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required contact an
authorized engine service center. The manufacturer of
these engines has established an excellent worldwide
engine service organization. A listing of service centers is
included with the engine operators literature package.
Engine service is very likely available from a nearby
authorized dealer or distributor. Check the yellow pages of
your local telephone directory under “Engines-Diesel” for
the closest engine repair center or ask the dealer from
whom you purchased the power plant.
1. Change the oil as recommended in the engine
operators manual. It is usually required to change oil after
the first 50 hours of operation and every 100 hours
thereafter under normal operating conditions. If the engine
is not used frequently, change the oil every 12 months,
regardless of the actual number of hours of operation.
a. Remove oil drain plug at base of the engine and
drain the oil with the engine warm.
b. Replace oil drain plug.
c. Remove oil filler plug and refill with new oil. Refer to
the table in the engine manual for the proper grade of
oil based on your operating temperature.
d. Replace filler plug.
2. Checking the Oil Level: The oil level must always be
checked before the engine is started. Take care to remove
any dirt or debris from around the oil fill plug before
removing. Be sure the oil level is maintained. See Page 3
for instructions on check oil level.
3. Servicing Air Cleaners: Consult engine operators
manual for recommendations, procedures and intervals.
Service more often if necessary if very dirty. Replace the
cartridge using only original equipment parts available at
any engine service center.
LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
This low oil warning system will automatically stop the
engine before the oil pressure reaches an operational
danger point. This feature is designed to prevent costly
repairs and downtime.
Use of the oil safety shutdown system on applications that
are subject to shock, bumping or severe angles of
operation (in excess of 15 degrees) should be avoided.
This is especially true if an unexpected shutdown would
cause a safety hazard or serious inconvenience for the
operator.
GENERATOR CARE
Proper care and maintenance of the generator is
necessary to insure a long trouble free life.
1. Exercising The Generator - The generator should be
operated every three to four weeks. It should be operated
for a period of time sufficient to warm the unit up and to dry
out any moisture that has accumulated in the windings. If
left this moisture can cause corrosion in the winding.
Frequent operation of the engine generator set will also
insure that the set is operating properly should it be
needed in an emergency.
2. Generator Maintenance - Any major generator service
including the installation or replacement of parts should
be performed only by a qualified electrical service man.
USE ONLY FACTORY APPROVED REPAIR PARTS.
a. Bearing - The bearing used in these generators is
a heavy duty double sealed ball bearing. They require
no maintenance or lubrication.
b. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been
utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked or
otherwise damaged, replace it. Using damaged or
cracked receptacles can be dangerous both to the
operator and to the equipment.
CLEANING
Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. DO NOT use
high pressure spray to clean either the engine or the
generator. This high pressure spray could contaminate
the fuel system and the generator components.
