Figure 31 Hand Prime Pump with Valve Positions for Fuel Priming, Typical Loosen the bleed screw at the engine. Refer to the engine operation manual for location of the bleed screw(s). The bleed screw allows air to be expelled from the fuel system when the hand prime pump is operated.
3.6.1 Gaseous Fuel System Concept (Single Fuel) The gaseous fuel system uses a fuel solenoid valve to control the fuel flow to the electronic-controlled pressure regulator (EPR) or direct acting electronic pressure regulator (DEPR). The generator set-mounted EPR or DEPR reduces the fuel pressure as fuel passes to the fuel mixer.
3.6.4 Fuel System Changeover Kits (Dual Fuel) A changeover fuel system kit provides automatic changeover from natural gas to LPG vapor. The primary and backup fuels each have a fuel solenoid valve. The primary fuel is natural gas; the backup fuel is LPG vapor. Before starting, both fuel solenoid valves are closed.
3.6.5 Fuel Conversion Connections To change the fuel type, change the wiring harness connections. The engine ECM has fuel tables and spark advance curves programmed for both natural gas and LPG. Use the following fuel connection tables and wiring diagrams to determine the applicable connections for your generator set model.

3.7 Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) Heater Kit GM78171-KP1 Applies to 125/150 kW, 8.1 L GM-powered and 8.8 L PSI-powered generator set models. Consult your local generator set distributor/dealer for additional information. The crankcase ventilation (CCV) heater kit provides a controlled heating source to the crankcase ventilation system preventing freezing water buildup during cold weather.
3.9 Cooling System The cooling system maintenance information applies to radiator-cooled models which have a radiator with a pressure cap and coolant recovery tank. WARNING Hot coolant and steam. Can cause severe injury or death. Before removing the pressure cap, stop the generator set and allow it to cool. Then loosen the pressure cap to relieve pressure.
3.9.3 Procedure to Drain Cooling System For optimum protection, drain, flush, and refill the cooling system at the intervals listed in the service schedule. Note: Dispose of all waste materials (oil, fuel, coolant, filters, and gaskets) in an environmentally safe manner. Before removing the pressure cap, stop the generator set and allow it to cool.
11. Add coolant to bring the coolant level to just below the overflow tube opening of the filler neck. 12. Replace the pressure cap. 13.

3.10.1 Clean Battery Clean the battery and cables and tighten the battery terminals according to the service schedule recommendations. Clean the battery by wiping it with a damp cloth. Keep the electrical connections dry and tight. If corrosion exists, disconnect the cables from the battery and remove the corrosion with a wire brush. Clean the battery and cables with a solution of baking soda and water.
3.10.3 Specific Gravity Check Note: Rehlko recommends the use of SLA batteries that are maintenance free. Use a battery hydrometer to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each battery cell of batteries with filler caps. Holding the hydrometer vertically, read the number on the glass bulb at the top of the electrolyte level or the number adjacent to the pointer.
3.10.4 Charge Battery Use a battery charger to maintain a fully charged battery when the generator set is used in a standby application. The engine battery-charging alternator charges the battery while the generator set is running. Refer to the battery charger operation manual for installation, operation, and service procedures.
3.11.1 Lubrication System Prepare the engine lubricating system for storage as follows: Run the generator set for a minimum of 30 minutes to bring it to normal operating temperature. Stop the generator set. With the engine still warm, drain the oil from the crankcase. Remove and replace the oil filter.
Ignition System Damage. Refer to the engine operation manual for ignition system precautions before cranking the engine while the spark plug wires are disconnected. Toggle the generator set master switch to crank the engine two or three revolutions to lubricate the cylinders. Reinstall the spark plugs and torque them to specifications.
3.11.7 Battery WARNING Explosion. Can cause severe injury or death. Relays in the battery charger cause arcs or sparks. Locate the battery in a well‐ventilated area. Isolate the battery charger from explosive fumes. Perform battery storage after all other storage procedures. Confirm that the generator set is stopped.

Appendix C. Voltage Regulator Definitions and Adjustments The following definitions and adjustment/setting specifications are intended for users planning to adjust the voltage regulator beyond the default settings in order to customize the alternator for a specific application. This information is not intended to be a comprehensive explanation of all the terms mentioned. There are numerous documents available that define these terms more completely than described herein.
Page 168
response should determine the unloading point. The unloading setpoint is the frequency below which the excitation control will reduce the voltage so that the engine may begin to recover. The cut-in point, or frequency setpoint, should be set 0.5- 3.0 Hz lower than the normal steady-state band of operation. If the engine normally operates within a very narrow range of speeds close to the nominal, a setpoint of 0.5 to 1.0 Hz below nominal should be suitable.
Page 169
The underfrequency unload enable menu is used to turn the underfrequency unload on or off. A YES entry will turn the feature on and the display will show ENABLED YES. A NO entry will turn the feature off and the display will show ENABLED NO. The underfrequency unload defaults to an enabled (ON) condition.
Appendix D. Alternator Protection The controller has built-in thermal protection for the alternator. This feature functions similarly to a thermal circuit breaker. When the output current exceeds the nominal rating for a short period of time the condition causes the fault shutdown. The amount of time at which current is over the rating is inversely related to the amount of current above the nominal rating.
Appendix E. Controller Displays from the Engine ECM The controller display showing engine information is dependent upon the engine manufacturer and the corresponding Engine Control Module (ECM). The following list indicates which engine displays are available by the engine manufacturer. This information is subject to change by the engine manufacturer.
