BATTERY CARE
SP-19. CHECK ELECTROLYTE LEVELS
1. Check the electrolyte level every 50 hours, or once
a month. Add distilled water to the manufacturer’s
recommended level.
SP-20. CHECK CABLES AND TERMINALS
2. Batteries, cables, and cable terminals should be
checked and cleaned every 100 hours. Clean
corrosion with a water and baking soda solution.
Flush with clean water. Tighten terminals and grease
them to inhibit future corrosion.
3. Check the battery condition with a hydrometer every
500 hours.
SP-21. WINTERIZING / OUT-OF-SERVICE
If the generator set will not be used for more than 3
months the following preparations should be taken for
long term storage.
• Change engine oil and filter.
• Start engine and operate it with no load for 1 to 2
minutes or enough time to circulate clean oil through
the engine.
• Completely drain, flush, and fill the cooling system
with pre-mixed, 50/50, conventional ethylene-glycol
heavy-duty diesel engine coolant (with SCAs).
• Loosen alternator drive belt.
• Completely seal off intake and exhaust openings
with heavy plastic bags and duct tape.
To Remove Generator Set from Long-Term Storage:
1. Take off all protective coverings and unseal all the
openings that were covered up.
2. Install batteries that are fully charged and connect
the terminals.
3. Install the fan and alternator belts if they had been
removed.
4. Fill the fuel tank.
5. Perform all pre-start checks.
6. Crank the engine for 10 seconds with the starter,
without letting the engine start. Wait 2 minutes and
crank the engine an additional 10 seconds to make
sure all bearing surfaces are well coated.
7. Start the engine and run at no load for several
minutes. Make sure the engine is warmed up and
check gauges before going under load.
8. Check all gauges and check for leaks.
