3.21 Running the Generator
See Graphic: wc_gr002611
Leave the Engine Start Switch
(f)
in the “START/RUN” position while
the generator is operating. If the generator was started using a remote
switch, leave Engine Start Switch in the “REMOTE START” position.
Let the generator run for a few minutes to warm engine before closing
main circuit breaker.
Before closing breakers, make sure that any electrical devices
attached downstream from the generator will not start up
unexpectedly.
While the generator is running, check for excessive vibration, oil leaks,
or coolant leaks.
Before placing the Engine Start Switch (f) in the “REMOTE
START” position,
verify that the contacts on any remote switch linked
to the generator set are OPEN. This will prevent the generator from
immediately starting when the Engine Start Switch is moved to the
“REMOTE START” position.
3.22 Engine Power Correction Factors
Performance data on John Deere engines are measured at the
following standard conditions:
•
29.31 inches of mercury dry air pressure
•
600 feet altitude
•
0 % relative humidity
•
77°F air intake temperature
•
104°F fuel inlet temperature
Refer to the table to estimate the engine power decrease in percent,
as environmental factors vary from the standard conditions.
