Table 2-3. Operator Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services
NOTE
If the equipment must be kept in continuous operation, check and service only those items that can be checked and
serviced without disturbing operation. Make the complete checks and services when the equipment can be shut down
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 (unburned 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.
