4. PREPARATION FOR STARTING
4.1 Selection and handling of fuel
•
Selection of fuel : OnIy use the Iight diesel, which is
most suitable for the engine.
•
Keep dust and water out of the fuel : When filling the
fuel tank from drums, make sure that no dust or water
is mixed in the fuel. Otherwise the serious fuel
injection pump and nozzle problems will result.
•
Do not overfiII : Overfilling is very dangerous. Note the
fuel level indicator as image.
WARNING
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine completely stopped and cooled.
•
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is refueled or where the fuel oil stored.
•

Always check the engine oil level with the generating set on a level surface before starting and refill if
necessary.
•
The engine may be damaged if operated with insufficient engine oil, it is also dangerous to refill too much
engine oil as sudden increase in engine speed may be caused by its combustion.
•
Choose the proper engine oil per the ambient temperature.
•
Select the most applicable engine oil. Do apply SAE10W-30, SAE15W-40 grade oil which is suitable for
common condition.
•
lt is very important to select the applicable engine oil for keep up the performance and life of the generating set.
lf inferior engine oil is used, or if your engine oil is not replaced periodically, the risk of piston seizure, piston ring
sticking and accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, bearing and other moving components increases
significantly. So the generating set life will be shortened.
•
Manufacturer recommends CC/CD oil classified by APl. Choose the applicable viscosity oil according to the
local ambient temperature.
NOTICE
