• Running on light load should be avoided or reduced to a minimum period. If weekly exercising on no load is
carried out, the running period should be kept down to maximum 15 minutes or until the battery charge rate
returns to normal.
• Every year the e
ngine / generating set should be run on full load for four (4) hours, to burn off accumulations
of carbon in the engine and exhaust system. This may require a “dummy” load. The load should be built
-up
gradually from zero over the four hour run.
Operating this generator at light loads for long periods can result in carbon build up in the engine, which could
cause overheating, poor efficiency and excessive smoking. High levels of carbon in the exhaust outlet and
reduced diameter of tail pipe will be an indicator of this, please call Perkins for further information.

Brushless alternators employed on Stephill Generators are maintenance free. Service must be carried out by
