Preparing For Operation Of The Generating Set; Checking The Generating Set Before Startup; Checking The Generating Set After Startup - SDMO R33C3 User And Maintenance Manual

5.3. Preparing for operation of the generating set

Become familiar with the controls useful to operate the generating set.
-
Read and understand the "user" menus of the control unit.
-
Become familiar with the maintenance plans for the generating set .
-
Become familiar with the operation of the generating set at no load or under load.
-
- Become familiar with the fluid specifications (fuel, lubricant and coolant).

5.4. Checking the generating set before startup

Check that the plugs, blanking covers and protective adhesive strips have been removed.
-
Ensure that the anti-humidity bags have been removed from the electrical sections (cabinet or control console, alternator, etc.).
-
Check the insulation of the alternator see the alternator's maintenance manual.
-
Check the levels see the engine's maintenance manual:
-
coolant;
oil;
fuel.
Open the oil filler tap (if fitted to the generating set).
-
Check the starter battery or batteries (connecting and charge) see the paragraph entitled "Starter batteries".
-
- Check the starter battery charging system (if fitted to the generating set).

5.5. Checking the generating set after startup

Off-load tests
- Carry out the safety checks (emergency shutdown, oil pressure, coolant temperature, etc.).
- Check the mechanical parameters:
engine parameters (oil pressure, coolant temperature);
absence of abnormal vibrations;
absence of abnormal noises;
absence of leaks.
- Check the electrical parameters:
voltage, frequency, current;
rotating field.
On-load tests
- Check the mechanical parameters:
