OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 7. Mains Inlet for Battery Charging (10A male 3 flat pin, single phase) The generator is equipped with one 240V single phase 3 flat pin inlet, (14) rated at 10A. It connects to the battery charger through an RCD/MCB combo breaker, which is located in the control box.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4. Installation A diesel generator is a high-speed piece of rotating equipment. To ensure reliability and safety the installation must be given thorough attention. Before installing the unit, we must consider all environmental factors. Generator installation must comply with local building codes, fire regulations and environmental requirements.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.4 Mounting Arrangement The base is used to support the unit and its accessories, its carrying capacity should be 2 to 5 times the total mass of the generator, but also able to absorb the unbalanced force generated by the machine.
Page 40
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL When designing the base, we need to pay specific attention to the following: The generator base must be isolated from the building foundation. Depth and width to meet the basic requirements. Foundation must be strong enough to take the impact and running force of the machine.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.5 Outdoor Installation Install the generator in an area that is free of debris, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that the exhaust gases will not be discharged in the direction of nearby buildings.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.6 Indoor Installation Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoor, the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed at least 1000mm from any outside wall. Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL Room Location A separate building located on the site away from the main building is the most desirable. Maintain the building at a satisfactory temperature Ensure the generator is installed in a way that it will not compromise reliability from any emergency loads.
Page 45
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL Fuel from the tank flows in the fuel lines and is injected from the nozzle via the fuel injection pump. Overflow fuel returns to the tank. The system includes filters to protect it from entrance of air, water and dust. While the engine is running, fuel is fed into the pump by the fuel feed pump after passing through the fuel filter where any foreign matter is removed.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL and the fuel tank generates a differential pressure, the differential pressure will affect the work of the engine. When the fuel tank is above the pump, correct fuel return may become an issue, and the tubing will have to be able to withstand a positive pressure. If the differential pressure is too large, fuel leaks may become a concern.
Page 47
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL Warning Poor quality oil will shorten engine life. Use only the specified lubricating oils. Important points regarding lubricating oil are described below. CLASSIFICATION OF ENGINE OIL SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Standards are generally used to classify engine oil viscosities.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.7.3 Exhaust system Exhaust system components installed on any genset must be approved and correctly installed to meet the codes and regulations required by local government. A muffler and spark arrester have been installed in your genset. If a generator is used in a forest, on brush or grass covered unimproved land it must be equipped with a Spark Arrestor.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.8 Load Connections 4.8.1 Sizing Load Cables Selecting the load cables, number of cores and diameter, based on its allowable amperage and the distance between the generator and the load is critical. Correct selection should be carefully calculated. It is recommended that there is a maximum 5% marginal drop only for the rated voltage between the load and generator via the cables.
OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 4.9 Earth Connections The generator and electrical components have their respective earth wires which are all connected to the main earth bar in the control cabinet. Multiple Earthed Neutral (MEN) is installed on this generator. WARNING: If the terminal is not connected, it may result in injury or death.

OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL 5.2 Checking Engine Oil, Fuel and Coolant Level Before Starting 5.2.1 Engine oil Ensure that the generator is on level ground before checking engine oil level. Install the oil dipstick all the way in. The appropriate level should be between the lower limit and upper limit on the dipstick.
