EVERY 300 HOURS:
•
Replace the impeller of the raw water pump.
•
Retighten the cylinder head bolts and adjust the
valve clearance. (Refer to § 5.4.2).
•
Replace the oil filter.
•
Replace the fuel filter
Replacement depends or the condition of the
fuel. We recommend replacement every 300
hours. Isolate the fuel supply and change the
element.
EVERY 1000 HOURS:
•
Replace the V-belt.
•
Retighten cylinder head bolts/ valve
clearance.
EVERY 2000 HOURS:
•
Check lubricating oil pressure
•
Clean and check or replace fuel injector nozzles
and check injection pressure.
•
Check the air filter element:
The air is taken in via the cover on the alternator.
Below this cover is a spongy material which filters
the air and holds some electrical components
which are cooled by the inlet air. This filter does
not require regular maintenance. Only in very
dusty circumstances this filter should be cleaned.
The spongy material can be washed in solvent or
replaced.
•
Check the cooling system:
The engine cooling liquid is indirectly cooled by
raw water via a heat exchanger. The alternator is
cooled by seawater which is pumped by the PTO
driven impeller pump through the cooler elements
in the generator housing. All parts of the cooling
system are of corrosion free and seawater
resistant materials such as brass and gunmetal.
In case of gathering of dirt in the system it could
be cleaned by compressed air. When overhauling
the engine one could clean the parts thoroughly
or replace.
When the generator set runs less than 100
hours a year the oil should be changed yearly
