ITEM SERVICE
WITH ENGINE RUNNING SATISFACTORY UNSATISFACTORY
The following operational checks are intended to check the generator operation
and the engine starting, lubricating, and fuel systems as well as overall operation.
Start the Engine The checks should take no longer than five (5) minutes to complete. Longer
periods of operation are not required. A more beneficial test will be performed
with the engine operating under load.
Check for proper operating oil pressure. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance
Oil Pressure Guide for the correct pressure reading.
Check for proper operating fuel pressure. Refer to the Operation and
Fuel Pressure
Maintenance Guide for the correct pressure reading.
Check the oil level. Maintain the oil level between the add and full marks on the
Engine Crankcase
engine running side of the dipstick.
Check and record readings. NOTE: The operating voltage of a cold (just started)
generator will be slightly higher than the operating voltage of a generator that has
Frequency (rpm) and been under load and warm. The full load voltage of a generator will decrease a
Generated Voltage maximum of 1% when the generator stabilizes at 100°C (212°F). Most of the
voltage decrease occurs in about 30 minutes. Generally, temperatures of
generators stabilize within two hours.
Radiator Louvers Check for proper operation (able to open and close freely).
Check for leaks and unusual noises. NOTE: Engine must be stopped before making
