General checks
Before Starting the Engine
After correct installation of the unit and the wiring,
the generating set must be fully checked over
before first starting can be attempted. Points to
check include:
> Make sure that the battery isolator is at ‘off’
position before carrying out any checks.
> Check all belts, guards and panel covers are
firmly secured.
>
Check the installed wiring to ensure all
connections are firmly installed in the correct
position, and that wires are in good
condition.
> Make sure that the battery connections are
secure and polarity of connections are
correct.
> Ensure that there is fuel in the fuel tank.
Check the DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). The
system will only check DEF level at key on.
> If the machine has not been run previously, if
it has run out of fuel or if the fuel supply has
been reconnected then the fuel system must
be primed prior to starting. Check for fuel
leaks during this process.
> Check level of coolant in machine radiator,
and top-up if low.
>
Check hoses for damage or loose clamps.
>
Check level of engine oil using dipstick.
>
Check fuel filter/water separator for presence
of water or contaminants.
> Check the position of the 3-way valve to
correct fuel source. Do not run the generator
with the 3-way valve set to the ‘off’ position.
> Visually inspect the engine and alternator for
any signs of damage, water, oil or fuel leaks.
