1.8 Prestart Installation Check
Review the entire installation section. Inspect all wiring
and connections to verify that the generator set is r eady
for operation. Check all items in the following Prestart
Checklist.
Prestart Checklist
Air Cleaner. Check that a clean air cleaner element is
installed to prevent unfiltered air from entering the
engine. See the generator set operation manual for
instructions.
Air Inlets. Check for clean and unobstructed air inlets.
Battery. Check for tight battery connections. Consult
the battery manufacturer’s instructions regarding
battery care and maintenance.
Coolant Level. Check the coolant level as described in
Section 1.7.
Note: Block Heater Damage. The block heater will fail
if the energized heater element is not immersed
in coolant. Fill the cooling system before turning
on the block heater. Run the engine until it is
warm, and refill the radiator to purge the air from
the system before energizing the block heater.
Enclosure. Check that all enclosure panels and internal
baffling are in place.
Oil Level. Maintain the oil level at or near, not over, the
full mark on the dipstick.
Operating Area. Check for obstructions that could
block the flow of cooling air. Keep the air intake area
clean. Do not leave rags, tools, or debris on or near the
generator set.
