4.3 REGULAR MAINTENANCE

CHECK DAILY:

• Oil level (see fig. 22)

Take care the oil level is never

below the mark. Do not add oil

when the level is still above

the mark

1 Minimum oil level

2 Maximum oil level

Fig. 22:

CHECK DAILY:

• Level cooling liquid

• Hoses for loose connections or deterioration.

AFTER FIRST 50 HOURS:

• Change oil and replace the oil filter.

Have the engine run until it is on temperature and

stop it. Replace the oil filter. Drain oil by the sump

pump into a suitable retainer and fill up with fresh

oil. Start the engine again and have it run for 5

minutes. Stop the engine again and pause for a

few minutes to let the oil gather in the crankcase.

Check the level again and add oil when

necessary.

• Check and tighten nuts, bolts, and unions, paying

particular attention to the fuel system.

• Observe the exhaust at the normal full load. The

exhaust must be free from soot. Do not allow the

engine to run with a dirty exhaust without

investigating the cause as this may result in an

expensive breakdown.

• Check and readjust V-belt.

• Check the electrical connections.

EVERY 150 HOURS:

• Change oil.

• Check the battery acid level (not applicable when

Whisper Power batteries are used).

• Check battery terminals for corrosion

• Check and readjust V-belt

EVERY 300 HOURS:

• Check the impeller of the alternator coolant

pump.

• Replace the oil filter.

• Replace the fuel filter

Replacement depends or the condition of the

fuel. We recommend replacement every 300

hours. Isolate the fuel supply and change the

element.

EVERY 500 HOURS:

• Check the air strainer element and the air filter

element.

• Replace the impeller of the alternator coolant

pump.

When replacing the impeller the gasket between the pump

case and the cover should be replaced as well. So when

ordering a spare impeller order a gasket as well. Remove

the cover to get access to the impeller. Remove the old

impeller with the help of two screwdrivers. Install the new

impeller and add some grease. Turn the blades in the

direction of rotation of the pump i.e. anti clockwise looking

at the impeller.

EVERY 1000 HOURS:

• Replace the V-belt.

• Retighten the cylinder head bolts and adjust the

valve clearance. (Refer to § 5.4.2).

• Check and clean the radiators

EVERY 2000 HOURS:

• Replace or clean the air strainer element and the

air filter element.

• Check lubricating oil pressure

• Clean and check or replace fuel injector nozzles

and check injection pressure.

• Check the air filter element:

The air is taken in via the cover on the alternator.

Below this cover is a spongy material which filters

the air and holds some electrical components

which are cooled by the inlet air. This filter does

not require regular maintenance. Only in very

dusty circumstances this filter should be cleaned.

The spongy material can be washed in solvent or

replaced.

When the generator set runs less than 100

hours a year the oil should be changed yearly
