Maintenance Procedures - SDMO SH 6000-2 UK Generating Set User And Maintenance Manual

6. Maintenance schedule
6.1. Reminder of use
The maintenance interval frequency and the operations to be carried out are outlined in the maintenance programme.
However, it should be added that it is the environment in which the generating set is operating which determines this programme. Accordingly, if the
set is used in extreme conditions, shorter intervals between maintenance procedures should be adopted.
These maintenance schedules apply only to generating sets running on fuel and oil, that conform to the specifications given in this booklet.

7. Maintenance procedures

7.1. Cleaning the air filter (diagram J)
Never use petrol or solvents with a low flash point for cleaning the air filter element as this could result in a fire or explosion.
Danger
Remove the wing nut and the air filter cover (1). Remove the elements and separate them. Carefully check that both elements are not ripped and
have no holes, replace them if they are damaged.
Clean the foam element (2) with household detergent diluted in warm water then rinse it through or wash it in non-flammable solvent or solvent
with a high flashpoint. Leave to dry fully.
Soak the element in clean motor oil and wring it out to remove excess oil. The motor will smoke when it is started for the first time if too much oil
remains in the foam.
Gently tap paper element (3) several times on a hard surface to remove the excess dirt, or blow low-pressure compressed air across the filter.
Never try to remove dirt using a brush. This will just push the dirt into the fibres. Replace the paper element if it is too dirty.
Reinsert the air filter elements and refit the cover in the opposite order to removal.
7.2. Cleaning the sediment bowl (diagrams A and I)
Move the noise reducing deflector (No 23, fig A) forwards.
Close the bowl fuel tap (No. 4, fig. A).
Remove sediment bowl (1) and O-ring (2) and clean them with non-flammable solvent or solvent with a high flashpoint. Leave to dry fully.
Refit the bowl and the O-ring.
Open the sediment bowl fuel tap and check that there are no leaks .
Move the noise reducing deflector (No 23, fig A) back to its initial position.
7.3. Renewing the motor oil (diagram H)
Change the oil when the motor is still hot, to ensure that drainage is rapid and complete.
Remove oil filler cap (1) and drain plug (2), and drain the oil into a suitable can.
When this is done, screw the drain plug back in tightly and then fill with recommended oil to upper marker (3) on the dipstick.
Screw the oil filler cap back on fully.
