INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS.
The diesel engine must be broken-in, avoiding heavy loads (no greater than 75%), for a period of at least
twenty (20) hours to ensure proper operation of the generator set. After the initial break-in period, intake and
exhaust valve clearances must be checked and adjusted, the head nuts torque must be checked, and engine
lubricating oil changed. Contact unit maintenance.
OPERATING PROCEDURES.
WARNING
High voltage is produced when this generator set is in operation. Use
care when working around an open control panel with the generator
set operating. Improper operation and/or failure to follow this warning
could result in personal injury or death by electrocution.
WARNING
Exhaust discharge contains deadly gases. Do not operate generator
set in enclosed area unless exhaust discharge is properly vented
outside. Position as far away from personnel, shelters, and occupied
vehicles as possible. Failure to observe this warning could result in
severe personal injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
The noise level of this generator set when operating could cause
hearing damage. Hearing protective devices must be worn when
operating or working within 13 feet of the generator set when it is
running. Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury.
WARNING
Hot fueling of generator sets while they are operating presents a safety
hazard and should not be attempted. Hot engine surfaces and sparks
produced from the engine and generator circuitry are possible sources
of ignition. Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
personal injury or death.
WARNING
High fuel pressure is generated as a result of operation of the
generator set. High-pressure leaks could cause severe personal
injury or death.
CAUTION
If the diesel engine starts racing (overspeeding) at startup or during
operation, there is a governor control malfunction. Depress the engine
STOP lever immediately to avoid possible damage to the diesel engine
caused by excessive overspeeding.
