Systems and Scheduled Maintenance
5.1.
Operating Description
Information of special tools required and basic safety precautions.
Disassembly:
✓
Use the correct tools and instruments. Serious injury or damage to the genset can result from
using the wrong tools and instruments.
✓
Use an overhaul stand or work bench if necessary. Also, use assembly bins to keep the genset
parts in order of removal.
✓
Lay down disassembled or cleaned parts in the order in which they were removed. This will
save you time at reassembly.
✓
Pay attention to the marks on assemblies, components and parts for positions or directions.
Put on your own marks, if necessary, to aid reassembly.
✓
Carefully check each part for faults during removal or cleaning. Signs of abnormal wear will
tell if parts or assemblies are functioning improperly.
✓
When lifting or carrying heavy parts, get someone to help you if the part is too awkward for
one person to handle. Use jacks and chain blocks when necessary.
Reassembly:
✓
Wash all genset parts, except oil seals, O-rings, rubber seals, etc. in cleaning solvent and dry
them.
✓
Use only the correct tools and instruments.
✓
Use only good quality lubricating oils and greases. Be sure to apply a coat of oil, grease, or
sealant to parts as specified.
✓
Use a torque wrench to tighten parts when specified tightening torques is required.
✓
Replace all gaskets and packing. Apply appropriate amount of adhesive or liquid gasket when
required.
✓
Increase the frequency of maintenance in harsh duty conditions (frequent stops and starts,
dusty surrounding, prolonged winter season, no-load running).

Risk of burns during maintenance operations carried out when the genset is hot. Wear
suitable safety clothing.

Periodic Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance and fault diagnostic procedures involve risks that may cause severe injury or
even death. These procedures should therefore be carried out solely by qualified electrical and
mechanical specialists. Before any maintenance and cleaning work, make sure that there are no
moving parts, that the generator housing has cooled to ambient temperature, that the electricity
generating set cannot be accidentally started up and that all procedures are strictly observed.
