5.14 Troubleshooting
The starter motor works but the engine does not start.
- Check that there is fuel in the tank (Fill up tank)
- Check that the stop solenoid is in the attraction position.
- Bleed air from the supply circuit. (See paragraph 3.2)
The engine overload protection module does not
start when the START button is pressed
- Check that the overload cut-out switch [fig. 2, ref. 8] has
not been tripped. (To reset, press the red button) [fig. 2,
ref. 8])
- Check the battery cables and terminals and the wiring.
(Reconnect).
- Check the battery. (Recharge or replace )
The generator switches off during operations.
- Check whether a shut down has been triggered and a
warning light has come on (Eliminate the cause and try
to start up again).
- Check for fuel in the tank (Top up).
The engine is producing a lot of exhaust fumes
- Check that the level of oil in the sump is not above the
MAX. mark (Top up the level).
Check the level of the electrolyte at least one a month
and, if necessary, top off with distilled water.
If the generator in not going to be used for a prolonged
period, it should be disconnected and stored in a dry
place at a temperature above 50 °F and should be
completely recharged once a month.
If the battery is left completely
unused for long periods it could be permanently
damaged.
The battery’s positive clamp should be covered with
petroleum jelly to protect it from corrosion and oxidation.
For topping off with sulphuric
acid, ready-made solutions must be used.
When topping up the batteries
with water or acid wear protective gloves and
goggles to prevent the acid from accidentally coming
into contact with the skin.
If the battery liquid accidentally comes into contact
with the skin wash the affected part thoroughly with
soap and water and consult a physician.
Before recharging the battery
check the level of electrolyte and top it off if neces-
sary with distilled water. This must also be done
after recharging has taken place.
5.12 Periods of inactivity
Start up the generator at least once a month.
If the generator is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, proceed as follows:
- Replace the engine oil.
- Replace the oil filter cartridge (see paragraph 5.2).
- Replace the fuel filter cartridge(see paragraph 5.4).
- Remove the injectors, insert 2 cc of engine oil and run
the engine for a few revolutions by manually operating the
pulley of the engine shaft.
Refit the injectors.
- Replace the zinc anodes (see paragraph 5.9)
- Draw up the anti-freeze liquid through the raw water inlet.
The anti-freeze protects the exchangers from low
temperatures and lubricates the sea water pump impeller
and the metal parts inside the cooling system.
- Disconnect the starter battery and store in a dry place
(see paragraph 5.11)
- Disconnect the exhaust system from the engine manifold.
- Clean the raw water filter
- Close the sea cock
- Drain the raw water from the exhaust.
- Clean and lubricate the siphon break, if one has been
fitted.
