Generator Set
Exterior
NOTE
The generator set can be operated
continuously at any load from no load up
to and including rated load, However. at
light loads (less than 25% of set rating)
an oily residue (unbumed fuel oil) may
occasionally be noticed In the exhaust
system outlet and around connection
joints In the exhaust system This
residue is caused by the Inability of the
fuel Injection system to consistently
meter the small amount of fuel required
to operate at these low load levels and
is not a defect In the fuel system The
oily residue could affect engine
performance and create a cosmetic
problem on and around the generator
set. Operation at rated load will bum off
this oily residue The length of time
required at rated load depends on the
amount of residue The muffler may
also need to be removed and cleaned if
excessive build up occurs This oily
residue can be prevented by increasing
the electrical load on the set
