During Operation; Shutting Down; Charging Alternator - KIRLOSKAR DV Series O & M Manual

Note:
Oil pressure will rise as RPM increases, and fall as RPM decreases. In addition, cold oil will generally
show higher oil pressure for any specific RPM than hot oil. Both of these conditions reflect normal engine
operation.
• Check the coolant level on indicator located on balance water tank. If level is low then top up to the
"High" level mark.
If engine trips due to High water temp (this will be indicated by a lamp on engine control panel),
check the water level, check the high water temp switch & wiring.
• Check battery charging
• Check leakages if any and rectify
• Maintain log book.

During Operation

Do not overload the engine. Do not exceed the maximum permissible engine tilt. If faults occur, find their
cause immediately and have them eliminated in order to prevent more serious damage!
During operation the oil pressure in the engine lubrication system must be monitored. If the monitoring
devices register a drop in the lube oil pressure, switch off the engine immediately. The coolant temperature
should be approx. between 80 to 95 °C. The battery charge indication on safety unit should go off when the
engine is running.

Charging Alternator

In order to avoid damage to the alternator, observe the following instructions while the engine is running
• Do not disconnect the battery or pole terminals or the cables
• If during operation, the battery charge lamp suddenly lights up, stop the engine immediately and
rectify the fault in the electrical system
• Do not short-circuit the connections of the alternator with those of the regulator or with ground, not
even briefly bringing the connections into contact
5.2.4

Shutting Down

Cut off the main circuit breaker of the generator control panel to "stop" After the engine has been running
at a high load level, do not shut it down immediately but allow it to idle about 5 minutes jso that temperatures
are normalized and turbocharger cools down. Switch off the key to stop the engine. Check if there is any
abnormal noise from turbocharger during shutting down.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the engine is not started by any unauthorized person.
