B.2.2 Starting - Preliminary remarks
Damage to Starter Motor
The starter is fitted with a free rotating spring cog, which prevents the starter being driven exter-
nally by means of the motor. The free wheel will be damaged, if the starter still operated while the
engine is running and in some circumstances it could lead to complete destruction of the starter.
It is important that every person who operates the generator is aware of this situation.
This is the only operating error that can lead to generator failure and possibly operator
injury.
Pre-heating the diesel motor
The motor must be pre-heated, if the diesel motor is designed as a "pre-combustion chamber
motor" for indirect fuel injection. A quick glow fitting is used for all Kubota-diesel motors. This glow
fitting may only be used for a maximum of 20 seconds without a pause. A pre-glow period of 5 - 6
seconds suffices for ambient temperatures above 20°C (plus). For lower temperatures the
preglow period should be increased.
The motor can be started for temperatures up to minus 20°C, as long as running conditions are
suitable. The fuel must be suitable for such conditions, as conventional diesel fuel can produce a
paraffin coating at temperatures lower than minus 8°C. so blocking all filters and pipes. It is nor-
mal in Europe to use an additive, obtainable from gas stations to ensure use at temperatures as
low as minus 15°C. If a generator is to be used for temperatures below minus 8°C, then it must be
ensured the fuel is suitable for winter. By use of extra additive, the fuel can also be used at lower
temperatures. The appropriate regulations can be obtained from the fuel suppliers. The mineral
oil trade have stocks of fuel, which are suitable for use for temperatures below minus 20°C.
Starter Battery
Adequate batteries are installed for extreme winter conditions. Unless the generator is being run
frequently for extended (over 1 hour) periods, it is recommended that the starter battery is regu-
larly charged by a suitable external battery-charging device, at least every 2 months. A correctly
charged battery is essential for low temperature starts.
Motor Oil Quality during extreme Winter Conditions
Motor oil of the correct grade for the temperatures anticipated should be used. There is advice
elsewhere in this handbook on the grades which are suitable for various environmental conditi-
ons.
