INTRODUCTION Introduction Presentation Dear Customer, First, we would like to thank you for choosing a Solé Diesel product. We recommend that you read this manual carefully before carrying out any of the operations and keep it close at hand, near the genset, as it can be of great use in the future. Our goal as a manufacturing company is that you enjoy our product, regardless of the use you make of it.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS Safety Precautions and Instructions Solé Diesel is concerned for your safety and your machine’s condition. Safety Precautions and Instructions are one of the primary ways to call your attention to the potential hazards associated with our engine operation. Follow the precautions listed throughout the manual before and during operation and maintenance procedures for your safety, the safety of others and the performance of your engine.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS Combustible materials. A fire can cause severe injury or death. Genset fuels, fuel vapours and combustible materials are flammable and explosive. Handle these materials carefully to minimize the risk of fire or explosion. Equip the compartment or nearby area with a fully charged fire extinguisher. In case of fire do not open sound, shield compartment and follow these instructions: Shut down genset(s).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS Never remove the cooler cap if the genset is hot. Steam and hot genset coolant will spurt out and seriously burn you. Allow the genset to cool down before you attempt to remove the cooler cap. Read the genset operator's manual and understand it before operation and maintenance of the genset, to ensure that it continues operating practices and maintenance procedures.

Make sure the genset is installed on a level surface. Otherwise, the following angular operation maximum is permitted: Model Continuously 85 GT/GTC - 100 GTA/GTAC - 115 GT/GTC - 10º 120 GTA/GTAC If the genset operates in these conditions, check Section 5.4. Lubrication System.
OPERATION Section 4 - Operation 4.1. Prestart Checklist Follow these checks and inspections to ensure the correct genset operation. In addition, some checks require verification after unit starts. AIR CLEANER: Check for a clean and installed air cleaner element to prevent unfiltered air from entering the genset.
OPERATION the genset and replace the seawater filter cover. Before starting the genset again, open the seawater cock. Repeat this operation whenever the genset is used at temperatures below 0ºC. Use oil with suitable quality and viscosity. SAE 15W40 is recommended. Under extreme conditions contact with technical support.
OPERATION 4.4. Maintenance during the storage During the long genset storage, it has to be stored inside a ventilated area and free of humidity. When the genset stay stopped for 3 months or more, inside parts can be oxidize and lost the oil film.

SYSTEMS AND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE TASK. COOLANT CHECK Allow the genset to cool. Release pressure from the cooling system before removing the pressure cap. To release pressure, cover the pressure cap with a thick cloth and then slowly turn the cap counterclockwise. Remove the cap after pressure has been completely released and the genset has cooled.
SCO 10 PANEL Install the impeller. During installation push and rotate the impeller in the same direction as the genset rotation until it is thoroughly seated in the impeller housing. Inspect the cover plate and gasket for corrosion and/or damage. Replace components as necessary.
SCO 10 PANEL Type 1 installation. When between water injection point of wet exhaust and waterline is minimum 150 mm. L = MAX. 3000 mm W.L. Type 2 installation. When between water injection point of wet exhaust and waterline there is less than 150 mm or the point of injection is below waterline. W.L.
The minimum recommended capacity is from 100Ah. However, this value serves as a general reference since it relates to the maximum intensity it can offer for starting the generator set. Genset model Battery capacity (Ah) 85 GT/GTC - 100 GTA/GTAC - 115 GT/GTC - 120 GTA/GTAC CIRCUIT PROTECTION AC Breaker interrupts the genset output in the event of an overload or short circuit.
SCO 10 PANEL MAINTENANCE TASK. ALTERNATOR BELT TENSION INSPECTION Push the belt inward with thumb pressure exerted midway between the pulleys, as shown, to check the belt tension (deflection). If the tension is incorrect, loosen the adjusting bracket bolt and mounting bolt, and move the alternator in or out.
SCO 10 PANEL If undue vibrations or noises appear after long-term usage, these could be due to a worn bearing that, if damaged, has to be replaced. No maintenance is required for the total operating time: Operating time 20.000 horas A bearing lifespan is closely linked to the working conditions and environment.
