TP-6881 7/1516 Section 2 Scheduled Maintenance
The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use
extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a
well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment
and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank
while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit
flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel
vapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use
flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by
vibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence of
fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systems
before resuming generator set operation.
Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check
the LPG vapor or natural gas fuel system for leakage by using
a soap and water solution with the fuel system test pressurized
to 6--8 ounces per square inch (10--14 inches water column).
Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia or
chlorine because both prevent bubble formation. A successful
test depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.
LPG liquid withdrawal fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors
can cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause
an explosion. Check the LPG liquid withdrawal fuel system for
leakage by using a soap and water solution with the fuel
system test pressurized to at least 90 psi (621 kPa). Do not
use a soap solution containing either ammonia or chlorine
because both prevent bubble formation. A successful test
depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.
See the Safety Precautions and Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before attempting to service,
repair, or operate the generator set. Have an authorized
distributor/dealer perform generator set service.
Alternator Service. Under normal operating
conditions the generator set alternator does not require
scheduled service. Refer to the service schedule for
items that require maintenance.
Engine Service. Perform generator set engine service
at the intervals specified by the engine service literature.
Contact an authorized Kohlerr service distributor/
dealer to obtain engine service literature.
All generator sets have emission-certified engines. The
carburetors on emission-certified engines are not
adjustable.
Routine Maintenance. Refer to the following
generator set service schedule, the engine service
schedule, and the runtime hours displayed on the
generator set controller to determine when to schedule
routine maintenance. Service the generator set more
frequently if it is subject to extreme weather, long
operating hours, or dusty or dirty conditions.
Maintenance Reminders. The RDC2 and DC2
controllers display a reminder message every 100
hours of engine run time. Change the oil and perform
other maintenance tasks listed on the service schedule.
Then reset the reminder. See Section 2.2.5 for
instructions to reset the maintenance reminder.
Service Schedule. Perform maintenance o n each item
in the s ervice schedule at the designated interval for the
life of the generator set.
Tools. Tools and instruments used to perform some
maintenance items are not generally available to the
generator set owner. Therefore, have service
performed by an authorized distributor/dealer.
2.1 Service Schedule
Refer to the following service schedules and the runtime
hours displayed on the controller display to schedule
routine maintenance. Intervals are shown in hours of
operation and/or time intervals (i.e. weekly, monthly,
quarterly, etc.) Have an authorized distributor/dealer
service the generator set at the designated intervals in
the service schedule for the life of the generator set.
Service units subject to extreme weather, long
operating hours, or dusty or dirty conditions more
frequently.
Contact an authorized distributor/dealer for parts.
