11.5 Starting preparation / Checks (daily)
11.5.1 Marine version
1. Oil level control (ideal level: 2/3 MAX).
The level should be about 2/3 of the maximum level of a
cold engine.
Further, if installed, the oil level of the oil-cooled bearing
must be controlled before each start - see sediment bowl
at generator front cover!.
2. State of cooling water.
The external expansion tank should be filled up to 1/3 of
the maximum in a cold state. It is very important that a
large expansion area remains above the cooling water
level.
3. Check if sea cock for cooling water intake is open.
For safety reasons, the sea cock must be closed after the
generator has been switched off. It should be re-opened
before starting the generator.
4. Check raw water filter.
The raw water filter must be regularly checked and clea-
ned. The impeller fatigue increases, if residual affects the
raw water intake.
5. Visual inspection.
Control fixing bolts, check hose connectors for leakages,
control electrical connections.
6. Switch off the load.
The generator should only be started without load.
7. Open fuel valve, if installed.
8. Close battery main switch (switch on).
