TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Engine
The W-TG 3000 generating set is based on 178 FA 1 cylinder 4 stroke diesel engine. The engine is directly injected. The
engine is air cooled.
Alarms and shut down
In the event of malfunctioning this will be indicated by the failure light, details will be shown on the display and the engine will
be shut down. There is one function guarded: low oil level.
All alarm switches are closed when no malfunction occur. A contact is cut in the event of an alarm. This means that the
generating set will not work when the alarm switches are broken or there is a loose wire. The system therefore is intrinsically
safe. The panel will display details about the alarm.
Control
The generating set can be operated by a key on the panel of the generator. To start the generator you have to follow the next
procedure.
Open the fuel cock.
Turn the starting key clockwise to the "START" position.
Remove your hand from the key as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine doesn't start after 10 seconds, wait a while ( for about 15 seconds)
Before attempting to start again.
Fuel specification
The engine must only be used with diesel fuel oil which conforms to the standards for use in modern diesel engines. Keeping
the fuel free from water and contaminants is of the utmost importance.
Oil information
1
Specification:
The oil must be suitable for oil changes as specified in the maintenance chapter. The engine must be run on heavy duty
lubricating oil meeting the requirements of API class CC or CD.
It is very important to use the correct oil specification. Very often local oil suppliers recommend a higher class, because they
assume that a higher class is allowed. This is not the case. One should not follow these recommendations.
Using the wrong specification will cause high oil consumption.
2
Oil viscosity:
We recommend a multigrade oil 10W40.
3
Oil capacity:
The content of oil including the oil filter is 1.1 l.
Do not overfill with lubricating oil as this may have a detrimental effect on engine performance.
