Equipment Operation
OPERATION
Perform the following inspections and checks before each
startup, as designated, and at regular intervals as noted in
the service schedule.
1. Air Inlets- Check for clean and unclogged air inlets.
2. Air Shrouding- Ensure the sound shield is securely
fastened and postioned correctly.
3. Backfire Flame Arrestor- Check for a clean flame
arrestor to prevent unfiltered air from entering generator.
4. Battery- Check for proper electrolyte level. Make sure
all battery connections are secure.
5. Coolant Level- Check the reservior for proper levels.
6. Exhaust System- Check for exhaust leaks and block-
ages. Check the silencer and piping condition and check
for tight exhaust component connections.
Inspect the exhaust parts (exhaust manifold, catalyst, ex-
haust hose, hose clamps, silencer and outlet flapper) for
cracks, leaks and corrosion.
♦ Check hoses for cracks, softness, dents, or leaks. Re-
place as necessary..
♦ Check for corroded or broken metal parts. Replace as
necessary.
♦ Check for loose, missing or corroded hose clamps. Re-
place or tighten the hose clamps and hangers as needed.
♦ Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.
♦ Visually inspect for exhaust leaks (blowby). Check for
carbon or soot residue on exhaust parts which indicate an
exhaust leak. Seal leaks as needed.
♦ Ensure the CO detector on the vessel is functional
and energized when the generator is running.
