5.3. Preparing for operation of the generating set
-
Become familiar with the controls useful to operate the generating set.
-
Read and understand the "user" menus of the control unit.
-
Become familiar with the maintenance plans for the generating set
.
-
Become familiar with the operation of the generating set at no load or under load
.
-
Become familiar with the fluid specifications (fuel, lubricant and coolant).
5.4. Checking the generating set before startup
-
Check that the plugs, blanking covers and protective adhesive strips have been removed.
-
Ensure that the anti-humidity bags have been removed from the electrical sections (cabinet or control console, alternator, etc.).

- Check the mechanical parameters:
engine parameters (oil pressure, coolant temperature);
absence of abnormal vibrations;
absence of abnormal noises;
absence of leaks.
- Check the electrical parameters:
voltage, frequency, current;
rotating field.
On-load tests
