MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Introduction
This section contains a scheduled preventive maintenance program and several adjustment procedures the
owner/operator can perform without the benefit of sophisticated and expensive tools and instruments.
Preventive
Maintenance
(Engine)
Perform the preventive maintenance in accordance with the schedules listed in the following paragraphs.
Adherence
to
these schedules will make sure the equipment is maintained
in
the best possible condition and
that it will perform
to
expectations. Those items marked
by
an asterisk (") are recommended
to
be per-
formed
by
an authorized dealer
or
distributor.
Daily
(before
each
use)
1.
Check the oil sump level. Maintain the oil level at or near the upper level mark on dipstick.
2.
Check the coolant level in the plastic recovery tank. Maintain the coolant level halfway between the
MAX
and ADD marks.
3.
Visually inspect the unit; check for loose belts, chafed
or
broken wires, loose brackets and fittings,
damaged hoses, loose clamps, and other equipment not properly secured.
4.
Check the fuel supply. Fill the tank(s) with a good grade
of
unleaded
or
leaded gasoline that has an
octane rating
of
89
or
higher.
5.
Check the primary filter/water separator. Drain and service this filter as required. (A primary filter/water
separator
is
optional, but strongly recommended. See page 39.)
6.
If an optional instrument panel
is
installed, check the engine's gauges for proper oil pressure, operat-
ing temperature, and starting battery charging voltage once the engine is operating.
7.
If AC gauges are installed, check the generator's output meters
for
proper AC voltage and output fre-
quency.
Monthly
Check the condition
of
the zinc anode in the heat exchanger's sea water circuit. Clean
or
replace the anode,
as required. Keep the area inside the heat exchanger clean
of
zinc anode debris.
