3.23 Shutting Down Generator
Check with other personnel on the jobsite and let them know that
power is being turned off. Make sure that the power shutdown will not
create any hazards by turning off devices such as pumps, heaters, or
lights that may need to be kept on.
3.23.1 Remove all loads from generator.
3.23.2 Open (turn to off “O”) main line circuit breaker.
3.23.3 Let engine run for approximately 5 minutes to allow it to cool down.
3.23.4 Move Engine Start Switch to the off “O” position.
3.24 Cold Weather Start-up
Good cold-weather starting requires that the battery be at peak power,
the correct weight motor oil is used, and the starter motor is in good
condition. The ECM will automatically activate the cold starting aid
when the temperature is low enough and will display “AIR INTAKE
HEATER” during the time the cold starting aid is activated.
3.25 Lifting
A central lifting eye is located at the top of the generator and is
attached to a lifting frame inside the housing.
Refer to the Technical Data for the proper operating weight of the
generator. Make sure the lifting devices have sufficient capacity to lift
the unit safely.
When lifting the generator, attach a hook or sling securely to the lifting
eye.
3.26 Overnight Storage
When storing unit overnight, make sure all access doors are closed
and padlocked.
DO NOT store generator overnight in a low lying area that might fill with
water during a heavy storm.
3.27 Long-term Storage
If the generator is being stored for several months, follow the engine
manufacturer’s recommendations for long-term storage. These
procedures are designed to help minimize engine corrosion.
