Running-in phase
Approximately the first 200 operating hours of the genset are the running-in phase. During
this time you should ensure that the genset is operated as carefully as possible, combined
with shorter inspection and maintenance intervals:
Avoid operation under full load.
¨
¨
Pause operation after approximately 4 hours in order to check the oil level, see
"5.1.2 Checking the oil level and topping up the engine oil" on
Change the engine oil for the first time after 20 hours of operation but no later than after
¨
one month.
The genset should be inspected for the first time after about 100 hours of operation so
¨
that any traces of wear can be identified and remedied at an early stage.
Regular maintenance
Under conditions of normal use, regular maintenance of the genset should be performed
approximately every six months or after no more than 250 hours of operation.
Depending on the frequency of use, ambient conditions and the importance of readiness
for operation however, selecting shorter maintenance intervals can be recommended. In all
cases it is important to clean the genset regularly and to keep an eye on its overall technical
state.
Immediately remedy any faults found.
¨
¨
The generator itself is of a maintenance-free design. However, pay attention to any
change in running noises and ensure that the fan is working properly.
¨
Perform at least the following maintenance work at regular intervals:
– Replace the engine oil (e.g. after approx. 100 hours of operation in each case)
– Cleaning or replacement of parts such as the air filter, spark plug etc.
– Checking and adjustment of important settings
– Proper inspection
Inspection
An inspection must be carried out once annually when it is used normally:
¨
Take or send the genset to an authorised specialist workshop where the inspection can
be performed properly.
At least the following tests and, if necessary, any appropriate repair work are conducted as
part of the proper inspection.
Checking for and remedying traces of wear on components relevant to safety and
function such as equipment lines, cables, electrical connections and attachments.
Checking the cleanliness and function of all components relevant to cooling, if necessary
removing obstacles in the flow, bearing damage etc.
Checking the generator and the engine for abnormal running noises or vibrations.
Measuring all operating data and matching with the manufacturer's inspection
specifications, if necessary readjustment of parameters that deviate.
