3.2 OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
3.2.1
Summarised operating instructions (daily
use)
Routine "pre-start" checks:
1
Check oil level (refer to fig. 19).
2
Check cooling system (coolant level).
3 Power source selector switch (off/external
power/generator power). Switch to power source
switch "OFF", or switch off all consumers in the usual
way. If a Mass Systemswitch is installed, this operates
automatically.
4
Switch on battery switch (when installed).
5
Fuel valve: open.
Starting:
Push the start button to initiate the full automatic
starting procedure. You can monitor the procedure on
the display.
In operation checks:
1
Check for abnormal noise or vibration
2
Check the voltage
3 Power source selector switch (off/external
power/generator power). Switch to power source
generator. If a Mass System switch is installed, this
operates automatically.
4 Before loading the generating set up to maximum,
have it run warm. Continuous load should be
restricted to 70 % of maximum load.
Stopping generator:
1 Switch off all electrical devices (consumers). If the
generating set has been running under full load for a
longer period, do not shut it down abruptly. Reduce
the electrical load to about 30% of the rated load and
let it run for approx. 5 minutes.
2
Press the STOP button.
3 Switch to an other AC power source, if available. If a
Mass Systemswitch is installed, this is done
automatically.
3.2.2
Extended operating instructions
Check when starting the first time or after a longer period
of rest:
1 If there is any damage caused by transport or
installation.
2 Check if the installation conforms to the installation
instructions.
3 Ensure the generating set is free to turn without
obstruction.
4
Check all hoses and hose connections for leaks.
5
Check all cables and cable end terminal connections.
6
Check the engine and generator mounting bolts.
Routine "pre-start" checks:
1
Check engine oil level.
The generator switches off in the event of insufficient
oil-pressure. Even when the oil level is too low the oil
pressure can be high enough. Do not run the
generator with the oil below the lowest mark in the,
because a smaller volume of oil will become
contaminated considerably quicker than a larger
volume. Therefore we recommend daily oil-checks.
Check oil level prior to starting the engine or at least 5
minutes after the engine has stopped.
