Internal cleaning of the electric boards
and control panel
•
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from
inside the electric board.
Visually check the condition of the equipment
and devices
•
Verify the good condition of the equipment and
devices inside the board, on the control panel and
on the generator.
Check the condition and/or replace the
electric wires
•
Check the state of the electric wires and replace
them if their ideal flexibility and insulation conditions
are altered.
•
Pay particular attention when checking electric
wires in adverse environments (e.g. in high or cold
temperatures, humidity).
•
When necessary, replace the electric wires while
referring to the wiring diagrams.
•
Check the condition of the power cables and
connectors. Make sure there is no contact with
electric parts.
6.3.2
Checking the battery
It is recommended to check the battery poles (
2
and
3
) and the electrolyte level every 15 days.
If the poles (
2
and
3
) show signs of corrosion,
remove it using ammonium diluted with water and a
hard brush.
Once the corrosion has been removed and the
terminals reconnected, lubricate the poles with
suitable grease.
If the generator remains idle for a long time (more
than 30 days), disconnect the poles of the battery to
keep it from discharging. Always disconnect the
negative pole (
2
) first and then the positive pole (
3
).
6.4
Checking the alternator
Checking the connections:
Make sure that the electric connection cables are
firmly fixed to the connection terminals; tighten the
screws if necessary.
Checking the windings:
The condition of the windings can be determined by
measuring the earth insulation resistance.
NOTE
It is mandatory to refer to the
documentation of the manufacturer
of the alternator to implement the
necessary connections to carry out
the above-mentioned measurement
and to know the resistance values
that are to be checked. Should the
resistance value of the windings be
incorrect, have it repaired as
required by the manufacturer of the
device.
Checking the bearings and alternator
maintenance:
Refer to the supplied alternator manual before
performing any operation on the alternator.
