Checks before start-up
1 - Check that the battery disconnect switch is turned ON.
2 - Check the oil, fuel and coolant levels.
3 - Check that the engine compartment, radiator and battery access doors are locked.
4 - Check that there are no oil, fuel and coolant leaks.
5 - Check that there is no flammable or dirty material around the exhaust pipe.
6 - Check that there are no unauthorized persons in the area adjacent to the generating set.
7 - Check that the main machine switch is in the OFF position (insertion lever downwards). For the details,
see "4.2.1 Main machine switch".
8 - Before each work session, if the distribution system adopted requires it, check the effectiveness of the
earth connection of the generating set (e.g., TT and TN systems).
9 - Check that the electrical characteristics of the devices to be supplied, voltage, power, frequency, are
compatible with those of the generating set.
Too high or too low values of voltage and frequency can irreparably damage the electrical equipment.
In some cases, when powering three-phase loads, it is necessary to ensure that the cyclical direction of
the phases corresponds to the needs of the system.
10 - Connect the utilities to be powered using suitable cables and plugs, in excellent condition.
6.3
Starting the generating set
WARNING
•
Do not alter the primary adjustment conditions and do not tamper with sealed parts.
The engine is started and stopped by acting directly on the IL-4 AMF 9 control unit.
Consult the control unit manual for complete knowledge of its characteristics and performance.
1 - Check that the main machine switch (1) is set to OFF
(insertion lever downwards), in order to ensure that the
engine starts without loads engaged.
2 - Connect the cables or the mobile plug of the load to the
generating set.
