HRD Diesel Generator 

498-1052

Operation

Replace the engine oil after the 

fi

 rst 50 hours, then 

every 200. When changing the oil or topping-up, use 
oil of a grade suitable for the prevailing ambient tem-
peratures (see table in engine handbook).

Coolant Level Check

   

WARNING

Explosive release of 

fl

 uids from pressurised cooling 

systems can cause serious burns. Only remove 

fi

 ller cap when engine is cold or when cool enough 

to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to 

fi

 rst 

stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.

Ensure that there is suf

fi

 cient coolant in the radiator. 

To check the coolant level:

1.  Remove the Radiator Access panel at the front of 

the roof panel by turing the panel anticlockwise 
releasing the panel lugs. 

   

   

2.  Remove the radiator cap (a) after the engine has 

completely cooled and check to see that coolant 
reaches the bottom of the neck (b). 

              

(a)

(b)

  

3.  If coolant level is low top up. Refer to Engine 

Manufacturer’s Operation and Maintenance 
Manual for details of Coolant Mix.

4.  Replace the radiator cap. 
5.  Replace the Coolant Access Cover by locating 

the Panel Lugs into the lug recesses on the roof, 
press down slightly and turn clockwise to secure. 

Coolant Capacity 7.6 litres

 

  

NOTICE

DO NOT

 use the expansion bottle as indicator of 

coolant level. 

 

  

NOTICE COOLANTS

Organic Acid technology  (OAT),  Hybrid organic 
acid technology (HOAT) and G5 antifreeze coolants 
offer exceptionally long service life compared to 
glycol antifreeze. It is recommend that OAT, HOAT 
and G5 coolants are not mixed with each other or 
any other type of coolant. Where possible always 
use the same type as that supplied with your new 
generator. 

G05 is a low-silicate HOAT derivative, phosphate 
free formula that includes the benzoate inhibitor. 

WARRANTY CLAIMS

 will be rejected where it 

is found that coolant types have been mixed and 
contributes to generator failure. 

Fuel

   

WARNING

Diesel is highly 

fl

 ammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured when 
handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and 

fl

 ame 

away.
Handle fuel in well ventilated areas.
Wipe up spills immediately.

Fuel Source

The generator uses Commercial diesel with up to 10% 
bio-diesel .i.e. B10 blend.

The fuel is stored in an on-board bunded fuel tank 
within the base of the generator. The tank has a ca-
pacity of 150 Litres.

Some generators have an option to have fuel sourced 
either by using the on-board fuel tank or by using an 
external fuel tank connected using the snap connec-
tors on the front left side of the generator base. 

On these the respective fuel source must be selected 
prior to use. 

To select the fuel source: 

1.  Open the Left Hand Service Access Door.
