EVERY 300 HOURS:
•
Check and if necessary replace the impeller of
the water pump.
•
Check valve clearance.
•
Replace the fuel filter
Replacement depends on the condition of the
fuel. We recommend replacement every 300
hours. Isolate the fuel supply and change the
element.
EVERY 500 HOURS:
•
Replace the impeller of the water pump.
EVERY 1000 HOURS:
•
Clean the oil strainer.
•
Check and clean radiator with compressed air.
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 and clean radiator with compressed air.
When the generator set runs less than 100
hours a year the oil should be changed yearly

Putting out of service
When not using the generating set for a longer period it is
recommended to execute an engine preservation
procedure.
1
Clean the engine.
2 Loosen the fuel suction pipe and fuel return and put
them in a can with preservation diesel fuel. Start the
engine and run the engine warm.
3
Drain the hot engine oil and refill with preservation oil.
4
The coolant can stay in the alternator and radiator.
5 Disconnect the battery and store it in a place free of
frost and dry and charge it regularly.
6
Close inlet- and outlet openings with tape.
7 Protect the generating set against the influences of
bad weather conditions.
This method of preservation will be sufficient for 6 months.
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4, every 6 months. Change oil
before using the engine again.
