3.3 Starting and Stopping Instructions
3.3.1
Pre-Start Inspection
1. Check engine lubrication and fuel filters, oil lines, and connections for leaks. If required, tighten connections
and / or replace gaskets.
2. Check engine lubricating oil level (see
).
3. Check the poly V-belt for fraying or cracks and proper tension (see
).
4. Check the radiator hoses for leaks and check radiator coolant level (see
).
5. Check the radiator coil and generator air intake screen for cleanliness. If required, clean using compressed
air, reversing the normal air flow.
6. Check the air cleaner for cleanliness and clean if necessary (see
).
7. Check the in-line fuel strainer and clean if necessary (see
).
8. Drain water from the fuel tank sump and filter bowl.
9. Fill the fuel tank with diesel fuel (see
).
10. Check the air intake heater amperage (see
).
11. Check battery terminals for cleanliness and secureness. If required, clean, then coat with a battery terminal
sealant.
12. Check, and if required, tighten all electrical connections.
13. Check, and if required, tighten all hardware (brackets, etc.).
14. Ensure the main generator set Circuit Breaker (CB1) is in the OFF position. Connect power cable to
refrigeration unit and proceed to Starting Instructions (see
).
3.3.2
Starting Instructions
Before start up, both the Genset Circuit Breaker (CB1) and the refrigerated unit should be OFF. After start up, the
Genset unit should be run for at least two minutes to allow the power source to stabilize before supplying power to
the refrigerated unit. This will eliminate the potential of any cold start transient spikes from reaching the refrigerated
unit. Cold start transient spikes can potentially cause nuisance over voltage alarms on refrigerated units that are
sensitive to electrical spikes or transients.
WARNING
!
Beware of moving poly V-belt, belt driven components and hot exhaust components.
WARNING
!
Under no circumstances should ether or any other unauthorized starting aids be used in
conjunction with the air intake heater.
NOTICE
Piston rings in engines that have operated less than 100 hours may not be fully seated. This may
lead to the possibility of oil seepage from the exhaust pipe. To properly seat the rings, operate the
engine under full load for a period of 24 hours. If the condition persists, check valve clearance
when the engine is cold. (Refer to engine workshop manual listed in
).
1. Make sure that Circuit Breaker CB-1 is in the OFF position.
2. Hook up the 460 volt cable from the refrigerated unit to the Genset receptacle.
3. Hold the Intake Heater Switch (HS) in the PREHEAT position (see
). Suggested hold times for a
cold engine are as follows:
