MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
28 4012/16 Gas, February 1998
Towards the rear of this section there is a
check
list sheet for continuous duty
generator sets which is to be used as a
guide
for operators and maintenance
personnel.
The following schedule details some of the
maintenance to be carried out as in the
maintenance check lists, however not all are
detailed. In these cases please
refer to the
Workshop Manual .
The schedule within this section will be
perfectly suitable for an engine working
under average conditions. If your engine is
working under particularly dirty or dusty
conditions, more frequent servicing will be
necessary particularly in respect of the
lubricating oil and air cleaners. Correct and
regular
maintenance will help prolong
engine life.
DAILY INSPECTION
LUBRICATING OIL LEVEL
With the engine stopped for at least 5 min-
utes:-
i)
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe clean.
ii) Re-insert the dipstick fully into the
sump.
iii) Wait for at least 5 seconds, withdraw
and check the oil level in relation to the
two marks on the dipstick.
iv) Repeat operation (i) (ii) (iii) at least
twice, until identical readings are
observed.
If the oil level is below the top mark add
sufficient of the same grade as that already
in the engine to bring the oil level up to the
top mark.
Always replace the filler plug immediately
replenishment is completed.
COOLANT LEVEL
With the engine stopped remove the
radiator cap; the coolant should be 25 mm
(1") below the top of the filler neck. If the
level is low top up with a solution of water
and inhibitor or water and anti-freeze similar
to that already in the engine.
Refer to
Engine Data section pages 7 to 10 .
LEAKS
Visually check the engine for gas, oil,
coolant and exhaust leaks, repairing where
necessary.
WEEKLY
Deal with items under DAILY INSPECTION.
AIR CLEANER RESTRICTION INDICATOR
The middle section of the restriction indicator
'A' will remain clear while the air cleaner is in
a serviceable condition. When the filter
reaches its contamination limit the restriction
indicator will sense the change in manifold
pressure and middle section 'A' will change
to red. At this point the air filter must be
changed
(see Operators Handbook page
37 ) . When the air filters have been changed
reset the indicator by pressing button 'B'.
(See
Fig. 15 ).
MAKE QUITE
CERTAIN THE
ENGINE CANNOT BE STARTED
BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY
MAINTENANCE, PARTICULARLY IN THE
CASE OF AUTOMATICALLY STARTING
GENERATING SETS OR REMOTE
STARTING ENGINES.
