BREAK-IN PERIOD

1. The 

fi rst 100 hours on a new or reconditioned 

 

engine are critical to its life and performance.

2.  Constantly check the engine temperature and oil 

pressure gauges (sets with Series 3 or 4 panels). 

3.  Oil consumption is greater during break-in as 
 

piston rings take time to seat.

4.  Break-In Oil Changes:  Change engine oil and 
 

fi lter at 50 hours. Change oil and fi lter again at 

 

100 hours (consult Lubricants section for oil recom-
mendation).

Operating Instructions:

 

Maintain at least a 75% load on your generator 

 

set for the fi rst 100 hours.  Vary the load will help 

 

seat the rings.

BEFORE STARTING

1.  Check the water level by removing the pressure
 

cap from the expansion tank or radiator. In order to 
give the cooling water an opportunity to expand, the 
level should be about 1 in. (2.5 cm) below the fi ller 
cap sealing surface when the engine is cold.

CAUTION:  Use protective clothing and open the 
fi ller cap carefully when the engine is warm to 
prevent burns.

2.  Check the oil level in the crankcase with the dip-

stick. The oil level must be in the waffl ed area on the 
stick. Never allow the level to go below this area. 
Always add the same viscosity of oil as is already in 
the crankcase. 

3.  Check the fuel tank level and open any fuel valves.
4.  Marine Sets: close the sea-cock, check and clean the 

sea strainer and reopen the sea-cock.

5.  Marine Sets: place the battery switch in the ON posi-

tion.

 

NOTE:  The battery switch must always be kept

 

ON while the engine is running. If the switch is 
turned OFF while the engine is running, the bat-
tery charging regulator could be ruined.

STARTING FOR S-1, S-1B, S-3, AND S-4, SEE 

PAGE 6 FOR S-7

1.  Hold the Shutdown Bypass-Preheat switch in the ON 

position for 10 to 20 seconds before starting a cold 
engine. Holding the switch too long can burn out the 
glow plugs.

2.  While holding the Shutdown Bypass-Preheat switch 

in the ON position, push the Engine Control switch 
to the START position.

3.  As soon as the engine starts, release both switches. 

Do not crank the starter for more than 20 seconds 
consecutively. If the engine fails to start with the 
fi rst attempt, be sure that it has stopped completely 
before re-engaging.

 

NOTE:  Excessive cranking of the starter on Marine 
sets equipped with a water lift muffl er can cause 
engine damage. If the engine does not start after 
three 20-second cranks, remove the impeller from the 
raw water pump. This will prevent the muffl er from 
fi lling with water and backfi lling the exhaust line and 
engine. Once the engine starts, shut it off immedi-
ately and re-install the impeller. Re-start the engine 
and check the exhaust overboard outlet for gushes of 
water.

OPERATING

1.  Units with Series 3, Series 4, and Series 7 Control 

Panels: check gauges often. Oil pressure must be above 
15 PSI. The D.C. voltmeter should read between 11 
and 15 volts at 80°F (25°C) ambient temperature. 
The water temperature gauge on Marine sets must be 
below 200°F (94°C); on Industrial units, the water 
temperature gauge must be below 225°F (107°C). 
Check the A.C. voltage and frequency meters (Series 4  
and 6 panels). If the gauges deviate from normal levels, 
shut down the generator set and investigate.

2.  Let the unit run unloaded for a 3 - 5 minute warm-up 

period.

3.  Add electrical load.

STOPPING

1.  Remove electrical load from the generator set.
2.  Run the engine for a 3 to 5 minute cool down period.
2.  Move the Engine Control switch to the STOP posi-

tion momentarily.

3.  Marine Sets: shut off the seacock, fuel valve, and 

battery switch.
