11. Switch the generator set circuit breaker to OFF position.
12. Switch all the fuses inside the control panel to OFF position.
13. Make the battery pole connections.
14. Switch all the fuses inside the control panel back to ON position.
15. Check all the emergency stop buttons and be sure that they are all at ON position.
16. Bleed the air out from fuel system and filters by using priming pump. Look at the Diesel
Engine Maintenance Book for the details.
17. Run the generator set manually from the control unit.
18. Check if there is any abnormal noise or vibrations on the generator set.
19. Check if there is any leakage of liquids like water, oil, fuel, etc…
20. Observe the temperature and pressure values from the controller screen or the gauges. Be sure that they are in
allowed limits.
21. Observe the voltage, current or frequency values from the controller screen. Be sure that they are in allowed
limits.
22. Check the phase sequence of the generator set. If they are not same with the mains sequence, then change cable
connections.
23. If all the results of all these checks are normal, you can finally run your generator set on load. Also be sure that
you are not exceeding the capacity of your generator set in terms of loading capacity.
• Safety precautions explained in the Operation and Maintenance Manual must be taken into account before
running the generator set after all the necessary installation is done completely and properly.
• Always ensure that both mobile and stationary generator earthings are correctly done to avoid the possibility of
death or injury.
• When removing the battery disconnect the negative (-) lead first and when putting a battery onto service on a
generating set, connect the negative lead last due to fact that battery system is earthed from the negative (-).
• The generator set will not start if any emergency stop button is pushed, switch all ON by pulling clockwise.
• The fuel, lubrication oil and the coolant quality level has to be comply with the standards prescribed by the
manufacturer.
• Ensure a proper grounding for the generator set. It may be important in terms of any possible electrical
problems.
• Do NOT start or stop the generator set when it is still under load (when the load breaker is at ON position).
• The daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or running-hour-related maintenance periods of the generator set must be
followed and obeyed carefully in order for the efficiency and safety of operation.
4.5. Battery Charger
Battery charging devices are used for keeping the batteries charged at all times, even when the generator set has
not been running for a long time. A charger is a standard equipment in control panels and supplied by a mains
connection.
The speed of charge depends on the capacity of the batteries (Ampere x Hours) and the remaining charge in batteries.
Initial charge current will be high but it will decrease with time during the charge process.
Protect the battery charger device against any heavy weather conditions like rain or snow. Be sure that the electrical
wiring and connections and the grounding of the equipment are done properly.
