Monitor fluid levels, oil pressure, and coolant temperature frequently. During
operation, be alert for mechanical problems that could create unsafe or hazardous
conditions. The following sections cover several areas that should be frequently
inspected for continued safe operation.
NOTICE
Components that have guards against inadvertent touching must be visually
inspected only. Do not remove the guards to do the inspection.
General Information
Preventive maintenance begins with day-to-day awareness of the condition of
the generator set. Before starting the generator set, check and look for:
• Oil and coolant levels
• Leaks
• Loose or damaged parts
• Worn or damaged belts
• Any change in engine noise or performance
• Generator set appearance
Engine Operation Report
The engine must be maintained in good mechanical condition if the operator is
to obtain optimum satisfaction from its use. Running reports are necessary to
enable programmed or emergency servicing to be carried out.
Comparison and intelligent interpretation of the running report, together with a
practical follow-up action will eliminate most failures and emergency repairs.
Most engine problems give an early warning. Look and listen for changes in
engine performance, sound, or appearance that can indicate service or repair
is needed. Some engine changes to look for and report on are:
• Low lubricating oil pressure
• Low power
• Abnormal water or oil temperature
