4.3. Running In
z
It is recommended that new or overhauled engines should not be operated at a load higher than about
75 % maximum load during the first few hours of operation. Initial run-in should be at varying speeds.
After this initial run-in, the engine should be brought up to fuel output gradually.
4.4. During Operation
Do not overload the engine. Do not exceed the maximum permissible engine tilt. If faults occur, find their
cause immediately and have them eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage!
During operation the oil pressure in the engine lubrication system must be monitored. If the monitoring
devices register a drop in the lube oil pressure, switch off the engine immediately.
The coolant temperature should be approx. 80 to 95
°
C.
The charge warning light of the alternator should go out when the engine is running.
1) Alternator
In order to avoid damage to the alternator, observe the following instructions ;
While the engine is running
z
Do not de-energize the main battery switch!
z
Do not disconnect the battery or pole terminals or the cables!
z
If during operation, the battery charge lamp suddenly lights up, stop the engine immediately and
remedy the fault in the electrical system!
z
Do not short-circuit the connections of the alternator with those of the regulator or said connection
with ground, not even by briefly bringing the connections into contact!
z
Do not operate the alternator without battery connection! of the alternator with those of the
regulator or said connections with ground, not even by briefly bringing the connections into
contact!
z
Do not operate the alternator without battery connection!
4.5. Shutting Down
z
Cut off the main circuit breaker of the generator control panel to “stop” After the engine has been
running at a high load level, do not shut it down immediately but allow it to idle about 5 minutes so that
temperatures may equalize.
Remove key from starting lock
CAUTION :
Ensure that the engine can not be started by unauthorized persons.
