THE
DAILY
ROUTINE
CHECK
LIST
Each day before starting your generator, take a few moments
to run this check list:
o Record the hourmeter reading
in
your log (engine hours
relate to the maintenance schedule.)
o Visually inspect the generator for fuel, oil,
or
water leaks.
o Check the oil level (dipstick).
o Check the coolant level
in
the coolant recovery tank.
o Check your diesel fuel supply.
o Look for clean fuel in the fuel/separator transparent bowl.
o Check for loose wires at the alternator.
o Check the starting batteries (weekly).
o Check drive belts for wear and proper tension (weekly).
START
THE
GENERATOR
(See
STARTING
PROCEDURES on previous pages).
Allow the engine to
wam1
up for 5 to 10 minutes to reach
operating temperatures of
140°
to 150°F (60°-66°C) before
applying AC loads, apply loads systematically allowing the
generator to adjust to each load before applying the next.
Check the gauges for proper oil pressure, operating tempera-
ture, and DC voltage.
NOTE:
Some
unstable running may occur
in
a cold
engine.
This
condition
should
abate
as
normal operating temperature
is
reached
and loads
are
applied.
A
CAUTION:
Do
not
operate
the
generator
for
long
periods
of
time
without
a
load
being
placed
on
the
generator.
STOPPING
THE
GENERATOR
Remove the major
AC
loads from the generator one at a
time. Allow the generator to run for a few minutes to stabi-
lize the operating temperature and depress the stop switch.
(See
STOPPING
PROCEDURES
on
previous pages.)
