TERMS OF DIESEL POWER PLANT USE
5
Before starting the pre-operation test, make sure that the power plant is on a flat, horizontal surface and
the circuit breaker is in the “OFF” position.
PRE-LAUNCH CHECKS (FOR ALL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS)
PRE-LAUNCH CHECKS (FOR ALL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS)
To ensure maximum service life of the power plant, always inspect it before starting up.
To do this, you need to check:
• Fasteners and belts. Repair or replace worn belts, loose fasteners and connections.
• Protective covers of the fan and exhaust system must be securely fastened.
• Keep the engine and all components of the station clean.
• If you notice a leak of coolant, grease, or fuel, find the source and fix the problem. Do not use the gener
-
ator until the problem is resolved.
• Accumulation of grease and/or oil on the engine is a fire hazard. Delete them. Do not allow contact with
electronic/electrical components; if possible, provide for their protection.
• Make sure that the engine cooling system pipes are securely and properly installed. Check if there are any
cracks or liquid leaks on them.
• Check the engine oil level and coolant level - top up if necessary.
• Make sure that the liquids specified in this manual are used.
WARNING:
WARNING:
1.To avoid injury or burns, do not remove the radiator cap or any other cooling system component when
the station is hot or running.
2.Add coolant to the radiator slowly so that the air has time to escape, to avoid the formation of airlock in
the engine. Always top up the liquid when the engine is cold.
3. Check the condition and tension of the engine cooling fan belts - tighten them if necessary. Before
tightening the fan belts, disconnect the negative wire (-) from the battery to avoid accidental engine start.
4. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary.
5. Check the control panel and power plant for dust and dirt - clean if necessary.
7.Clear the space around the power plant of any dangerous objects that may interfere with the operator or
may cause injury. Make sure that the cooling air intakes are clean.
8. Periodically drain condensate from the sump tanks of the exhaust system, if they are installed.
9. If the liquid collection tray is provided for by the support frame structure, it must be inspected, and the
accumulation of liquid (fuel, oil, coolant, rainwater or condensate) must be drained and disposed of in
accordance with local norms and regulations.
10. Make sure that the main power switch of the alternator is in the “OFF” position.).
Before starting the device, keep in mind that the total
power of connected consumers does not exceed the rated
power of the power plant.
IMPORTANT!
TYPES OF CONSUMERS AND INRUSH CURRENT
TYPES OF CONSUMERS AND INRUSH CURRENT
Consumers (electrical devices connected to the generator) are divided into active and reactive ones. Active
ones are those, which energy is converted into heat (heating devices).
Reactive are all consumers with electric motor. When you run the engine, starting currents occur briefly,
the size of which depends on engine design and purpose. Please consider those starting currents when
choosing a generator.
The value of the resulting inrush currents should be taken into account when choosing a generator station.
Most electric tools have an inrush current ratio of 2-3. This means that when such tools are turned on,
generator equipment is required, the power of which is 2-3 times greater than the power of the connected
load. But there are some consumers of electricity in which the inrush current coefficient is 5-7 times greater
than the rated power, carefully read the instructions for your devices and follow the recommendations for
connection.
