4.3
Alternator
Inside and outside of the alternator shall be cleaned
periodically. And the frequency of cleaning depends
on the generator set's ambient environment. When
the
cleaning
becomes
procedures can be followed: cut off all of the powers,
wipe off the dirt, contaminant, oil stain, water or any
other liquid from the surface. The ventilation mesh
also needs to be cleaned. The adhesiveness of these
materials to the coils will cause the coils overheat or
damage the insulation.
The dirt and contaminant need to be absorbed by
dust collector. Please don't use air blow or high
pressure water spray to clean the alternator.
The humidity of alternator will decrease insulation
resistance. The alternator shall be dried. Please refer
to Alternator's Operation and Maintenance Manual
for the method of drying and detailed maintenance.
4.4
Control panel
Daily maintenance for the control panel shall ensure
the cleanness of its surface, make the indicator more
clear and easy for reading, and the operation button
flexible and reliable.
During the generator set's running period, vibration
will cause the shift of "0" position in the instrument
of control panel and loose of tightened parts, and
therefore periodically check the instrument of the
control panel and parts and cable's connections are
very important.
Repair for the control panel can only be done after
thorough learning of the principle of this control
panel (please refer to Control Panel Operation
Manual for details)
4.5
Start battery
Batteries which have been stored in a long time shall
be properly charged before being used, so that to
ensure normal capacitance of the battery.
(Densimeter can be used to check the actual
capacitance of the battery)
Normal operation and battery charging will cause
some water inside of the battery being vaporized.
And therefore constant fluid infusion is needed.
Before fluid infusion, first the contaminant around
the adding hole shall be cleaned so that to avoid
them falling into the battery. Then open the adding
hole, add proper amount of distilled water or purified
water. Do not add too much (shall be according to
the indicating line in the battery polar plate),
Otherwise the inside electrolyte will overflow from
the adding hole when the battery is under discharge
or charging, which will cause contamination to the
ambient material and environment.
necessary,
following
Please do not use the battery to start the generator
set under low temperature because the battery
capacitance can not output normally under low
temperature, and long time discharge may cause
battery malfunction(crake or explode).
Warning:
! The battery of the backup generator set shall be
periodically maintained and charged. It is suggested
that users can buy floating charger for the battery.
4.6
Maintenance record
Each time after maintenance, users shall make
detailed record for the maintenance job.
Warning:
! Complete maintenance record provides evidence for
users to maintain the generator set, and at the same
time is a precondition for lawful after sales service
(warranty).
For example: Maintenance record
