6

 

If the genverter is installed with a WP-PMG, check if an AC 
breaker  is  installed  before  or  after  the  power  source 
selector.  When  there  is  only  a  circuit  breaker,  use  it  to 
disconnect the generating set from the grid.

circuit breaker is closed. 

8

 

Open the fuel valve. Check if there are no air leaks in the 
fuel supply line, and check if the lift of the fuel is less than 
1 m. Check if there is no air in the water fuel separator. 

9

 

Check the oil level. 

10

 

To  bleed  the  fuel  system,  push  the  “Start”  button  on  the 
local  control  (not  on  the  remote  panel)  and  hold  at  least 
5 s and as long as necessary to bleed the system.

12

 

If  the  genverter  is  installed  with  a  WP-PMG,  check  the 
delay  of  5  to  10  seconds  in  the  power  source  selector 
transfer.  

13

 

Check voltage under ‘no load’ conditions. 

14

 

Check if the genverter can bring the full load. 

15

 

Check  if  the  battery  charger  of  the  genverter  is  working 
(max. 14.5 V). 

16

 

Close the sound shield and check the noise level. 

17

 

Stop the genverter and check the engine again for leakages 
of oil or fuel and check the oil level again.
