3.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.2.1 Summarised operating instructions (daily

use)

Routine "pre-start" checks:

1 Check oil level (refer to figure 9).

2 Engine cooling system (all valves open).

3 Power source selector switch (off/shore

power/generator power). Switch power source switch

to "OFF", or switch off all consumers in the usual way.

If a Mass SystemSwitch is installed, this operates

automatically.

Starting:

To initiate the full automatic starting procedure, push

the Start / Stop button on the Local control panel or

give a start command by means of the MasterView

3 Check sea water flow at exhaust outlet;

4 Power source selector switch (off/shore

power/generator power). Switch to power source

Generator. If a Mass SystemSwitch is installed, this

operates automatically;

5 Before loading the generating set up to maximum,

have it run warm. Continuous load should be

restricted to 70 % of maximum load.

Stopping generator:

1 Switch off all electrical devices (consumers). If the

generating set has been running under full load for a

longer period, do not shut it down abruptly. Reduce

the electrical load to about 30% of the rated load (i.e.

30% of 3 kW is approx. 1000W) and let it run for

approx. 5 minutes.

2 Push the Start / Stop button on the Local control panel

or give a stop command by means of the MasterView
