Starting
First Service Inspection
General
Before starting a new or reconditioned genset for the
first time, give it an initial inspection. This to guarantee
your own safety as well as the maximum service life
of the genset.
External inspection
1 Check the control system for loose terminals.
2 Check defects of engine parts.
3 Check the following components for loose bolts
or nuts:
•
Plugs and covers of fuel, lubrication and
cooling system
•
Coupling of fuel injection pump and shaft
•
Mounting brackets
•
Fuel control link
•
Turbocharger
•
Timing gear case
•
Exhaust manifolds
•
Cylinder heads
•
Air-duct connection-hose clamp
•
Flexible coupling from engine to generator
4 Check for fuel, oil, coolant and air leaks and
repair if needed.
5 Make commissioning report for new or
overhauled engine.
IMPORTANT!
All covers on engine and generator must be mounted
before attempting to start your genset.
Valves and plugs
Make sure the following valves and plugs are open or
closed properly:
Fuel supply valve Open
Coolant drain cocks Closed
IMPORTANT!
If the coolant drain cocks are not closed the coolant
will drain from the engine and this may cause severe
damage to the engine.
Electrical wiring
Check for loose or damaged electrical wiring on the
engine and on the generator. If necessary firmly
reconnect to terminals or cable-joint portions.
Damaged cables must be replaced.
If your engine is reconditioned, make sure the wiring
is according to the drawings.
