lubrication schedule
note:
This maintenance schedule is
intended solely as a general guide.
If performance decreases or if equip-
ment operates unusually, check sys-
tems immediately. The maintenance
needs of each piece of equipment will
differ depending on factors such as
duty cycle, temperature, air quality,
fuel quality, and other factors.
note:
These procedures are in addition to
the regular checks and maintenance
explained as part of the regular op-
eration of the engine and equipment.

Diesel Fuel and Microbes
Microbes can grow in Diesel fuel and
1.
can, over time, interfere with the Gen-
erator’s performance. When perfor-
mance begins to suffer and the en-
gine begins to produce black smoke,
a high-quality biocide must be added
to the fuel to kill the microbes. If left
untreated the microbes will eventually
clog the fuel lines and ruin the equip-
ment. The biocide must continue
to be added to the fuel until the mi-
crobes are completely destroyed and
the fuel runs pure again.
