The back of you new key switch should have three connection
points, battery positive, ignition (or ACC) and start. Wire are run
from the terminal block to the new ignition switch. This switch
may be located any where on the truck that is convenient to the
operator. All these wires are control leads so 16 AWG. copper
wire should be sufficient for most applications.
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.
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.
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 PRESSURE 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 technician. 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 mainte-
nance 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.
1. Keep the air inlet screen on both the engine and generator free
of any dirt or debris to insure proper cooling. At least yearly
remove the blower housing on the engine and clean the chaff and
dirt out of the engine cooling fins and flywheel. Clean more often
if necessary. Failure to keep these areas clean may cause
overheating and permanent damage to the unit.
2. Periodically clean muffler area to remove all grass, dirt and
combustible debris to prevent a fire.
3. On engine mufflers equipped with spark arresters, the spark
arrester must be removed every 50 hours for cleaning and
inspection. Replace if damaged.
