Servicing After
Every
1000 Hours of Operation
Remove, clean, and pressure test the primary heat exchanger. (A local automotive radiator shop should
be able to clean and test the heat exchanger.)
NOTE:
Operating in silty and/or tropical waters may require that a heat exchanger cleaning
be performed more often than every 1000 hours.
Generator Frequency Adjustment
Frequency is a direct result of engine/generator speed, as indicated by the following:
When the generator is run at 1800
rpm,
the AC voltage output frequency is 60 hertz. When the generator is
run at 1500 rpm, the AC voltage output frequency is 50 hertz.
Therefore, to change the generators frequency, the generator's speed must. be changed. To accomplish
the frequency change, connect the AC output leads to the AC terminal block in accordance with the "AC
Voltage Connections" diagram specified for your generator set, which appears in the "BC GENERATORu
section of this manual.
