: Inadvertent or remote operation
of the engine during maintenance and repair
work may cause personal injuries or death.
Therefore, disconnect battery negative (-)
cable to prevent inadvertent operation during
repair and maintenance work on the
generator set.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Always check usage and operation conditions of
the generator set every eight hours before
starting your generator set for the first time and
during its operation.
Oil Level
Always check engine oil level every eight hours
before starting your generator set and during its
operation (Page 5-3).
Exhaust System
Check for leakages and looseness on all exhaust
system drain hose and retaining clamp areas.
Replace the damaged parts of the exhaust hose.
Tighten loosened clamps on the connection
points.
Always check all carbon monoxide (CO)
detectors. Make sure that the detectors are
operating properly.
: EXHAUST GAS IS LETHAL! Do
not operate the generator until the exhaust
leakages are repaired.
Fuel System
Check for leakages and looseness on all fuel
pipes, fuel filters, and fuel return system pipes
and retaining clamp areas. Ensure that the pipes
in the fuel system do not rub against the other
moving parts in the engine.
Cracks and damages on the fuel pipes may
cause fuel leakages. These fuel pipes shall be
replaced immediately.
Do not operate your generator before completing
repair of the areas with fuel leakages.
Temporarily repair the fuel hoses as per USCG
TYPE A1 or ISO7840-A1 standards.
: Fuel leakages may cause fires.
Repair the leakages immediately. Do not
operate the generator if this causes fuel
leaks.
: Do not smoke in inadequately
ventilated areas where fuel vapors may have
and do not turn the electrical switches in these
areas on/off. Take any equipment that generate
flames, sparks and arcs and all other flammable
sources away from these areas.
Engine Coolant Level
Check the coolant level inside the Engine Coolant
Expansion tank and re-fill the expansion tank with
appropriate coolant up to the “FULL” level when the
engine is cold. Engine Coolant Expansion tank is
designed to keep coolant level inside the engine
fixed during operation. Lack of coolant inside the
engine cannot be resolved by filling this tank. If the
Engine Coolant Expansion tank is empty, check if
there is any leakage in the engine or the
connection points. To fill the shortage of coolant
inside the cooling system, add coolant of the
proper mixture up to the thermostat cover level on
the Engine coolant heat exchanger.(Page 5-10).
Use water-antifreeze mixture with the specified
specifications and ratio (50% Antifreeze 50%
Water) when removing the lack of coolant inside
the cooling system (Page 4-1).
Sea Water System
Clean the sea water filter if required. Be sure that
sea water inlet valve is open before starting the
generator set. Check and replace the leaking or
damaged hoses.
General mechanical system check
Observe if there is any mechanical damage in the
generator set by general inspections.
Check whether there are abnormal noises while the
generator set is operated.
Check whether the bolts of the generator set are
not loose.
Check whether the inlet and outlet connection
points of the generator set is not blocked.
Always keep the generator set area clean.
Monitor operating condition of the generator set
using the digital display of the electronic remote
control panel that is used in applicable models after
starting the generator set.
