NOTICE |
---|
For any type of leak (coolant, lube, or fuel) clean up the fluid. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak. If leaking is suspected, check the fluid levels more often than recommended until the leak is found or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be unwarranted. |
- Check the engine oil level when the engine is operating at low idle rpm. Observe the oil level on the "LOW IDLE" side of the oil level gauge (dipstick).
- Inspect the lubrication system for leaks at the following locations: front crankshaft seal, rear crankshaft seal, oil pan, oil filters, valve cover, turbocharger, external oil lines and connections.
- Inspect the cooling system for leaks at the hose connections.
- Inspect the piping for the air inlet system and the elbows for cracks and for loose clamps.
- Inspect the exhaust system for leaks.
- If the enclosure has louvers, inspect the louvers for proper operation.
- Observe the gauges. Ensure the correct readings for the engine rpm. Record the data for the gauges.
- Record the data for the performance of the generator. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the generator and the control panel.
