STARTING ROUTINE AND CHECKS
Figure 8: WP-PMG local panel
Start the WP_GV4 Scalino:
1 Push the START button on the WP-PMG local panel
(Figure 8) and hold for two seconds to initiate the full
automatic starting procedure. As a result, the electric
system is activated.
You can monitor the procedure on the remote control
display.
The first time starting up or after running out of fuel it
could be necessary to prime the fuel system. Refer to
bleeding fuel system instructions in the maintenance
chapter 5.2.2.
2 In case of a ‘cold start’ (starting problems may occur
in open air and/or, under winter conditions) the small
orange oil screw plug on the cylinder head cover has
to be removed. Add 2ml of engine lubrication oil and
screw the plug back in before starting. Push down the
decompression lever. It will return automatically
when cranking.
Never use ether or gasoline for cold start as it could
damage the engine.
Warm up the engine without load for 3 minutes.
3 A restart protection prevents starting the engine
when it is already running, which may cause damage.
CHECKS WHILE IN OPERATION
When in operation: perform the following operational checks
on a regular basis:
1
Check for abnormal noise or vibration
2
Check the output parameters on the remote control
display.
3
Observe the exhaust at the normal full load.
The exhaust must be free from soot. Do not allow the
engine to run with a dirty exhaust without
investigating the cause as this may result in an
expensive breakdown. When ramping up rpm, the
engine will probably produce some smoke. After
stabilizing on the right rpm for the load the exhaust
should be free from soot.
STOPPING ROUTINE
How to stop then W-GV4 Scalino Genverter:
1
Switch off all electrical devices (consumers).
If the GV4 Scalino has been running under full load for
a longer period, do not shut it down abruptly. Reduce
the electrical load to about 30% of the rated load and
let it run for approx. 5 minutes.
2
Press the PMG STOP button (Figure 8) and hold for 2
seconds.
3
Switch to another AC power source, if available.
4.3.2
Extended operating instructions
FIRST TIME CHECKS
Check when starting the first time or after a longer period of
rest:
1
Check for any damages caused by transport or
installation.
2
Check if the installation conforms to the installation
instructions.
3
Ensure the engine is free to turn without obstruction.
4
Check all hoses and hose connections for leaks.
5
Check all cables and terminal connections.
CHECKS DURING LONGER OPERATION
Check engine load during longer operation. The first 50 hours of
running the load should be restricted to 70 % of maximum load.
Running for long periods at no load or light load in the first 50
hours can cause cylinder glazing and high oil consumption.
1
Ensure that the WP-GV4 Scalino is not overloaded.
Overloading occurs when the electrical load (demand)
is so high that the alternator cannot be turned around
properly by the diesel engine. Overloading causes the
engine to run rough, while using oil and excessive fuel
and producing soot by the exhaust. The engine can
even stop.
The Genverter should therefore only be loaded at the
maximum rated power for short periods (2-3 hours)
only!
The high peak current is meant for the ability to start
electrical devices that need a high current for starting
especially electric motors and compressors (from
standstill).
In order to prolong the Genverter life expectancy, the
nominal electrical demand on the system should be
about 70% or the rated Genverter’s maximum load.
Please note this when switching on your electrical
devices!
Nevertheless, the W-GV4 Scalino is designed so as not
to overheat, even under extreme conditions.
2 Do not run the Genverter for very long periods at no
load or at very low load. When this is necessary, do
load the Genverter at least one hour in 10 hours for
