Before Operation - Kipor KD388 Operation Manual

Please check the fan, and check the driving-purpose V belt of the charging
generator to see whether it is loosen or destroyed, check the battery liquid level and
the electricity leakage etc.
If the light is off when turning on the starting switch, please check the electric joint
connection and to see whether it is loosen or fall off. Also please check the
concerned bulb, sensor and battery.
2.7.5.2 Heat alarm lamp
Start the engine and the heat alarm light will be on for about 15seconds, it will be
off after finishing warm up.
2.7.5.3 Lube oil low pressure alarm
Turn on the starting switch to start the engine, the low-pressure alarm lamp will
be on, and the light will be off when there is normal oil pressure in the oil lines.
The light will be on if the oil pressure lower to 49Kpa(0.5kgf/cm ) during the
normal running of the engine, and as soon as the oil pressure reaches 49Kpa the
engine will stop running.
The oil pressure must be above 0.5Mpa, and if the oil pressure is between
2
0.25Mpa 2.5kgf/cm and 0.5Mpa, a risk running of the engine would be occur,
and the engine cannot run until the pressure is above 49Kpa even at an idle
running.
The low oil pressure will result destroy of the cylinder, and it is much easier for
the exhaust gas turbocharger to be burnt out.
2.7.5.4 Water temperature alarm system.
The light is off when the engine is working normally, ,the temperature of coolant
should be between 80 and 95 .
The light will be on and the engine will stop working to protect itself once the
coolant temperature is above 95 and reach 110 .
After the engine stopped working, please check the coolant capacity, fan, cooling
water pump and driving-purpose V-belt to see if they are loose or broken. Besides,
please check the pollution of radiator and fan.
High altitude, high temperature and overload are much easier to result coolant
temperature rising, lamp lighting and engine stopping to protect engine itself.
2.7.5.5 Alarm lamp of low intake pressure.
The light will be off when the engine is working normally, and if the air cleaner
element is clogged by dirt, the intake resistance will increase, resulting the intake
air pressure decrease, while the decrease of the intake pressure comes to an limit
the light will be on to alarm.
Stop the engine if the light is on, and clean the air cleaner and its element
component, replace its dirty air cleaner element.
2.8 Storage of operation manual
Keep the operation manual well for future use.
Read the manual carefully for right operation, maintenance and maintain in order
to avoid personnel damage and malfunction to serve you better.
