given below in
PRIOR TO STARTING
.
Ensure that the operator reads and
understands
the
decals and consults the manuals before maintenance or
operation.
Ensure that the position of the
emergency stop
device is
known and recognised by its markings. Ensure that it is
functioning correctly and that the method of operation is
known.
Attach the battery cables to the battery(s) ensuring that
they are tightened securely. Attach the negative cable
before attaching the positive cable.
The operating controls and instruments are arranged on
the control panel as shown. A description of each panel
device is as follows:
Ensure that all transport and packing materials are
discarded.
Ensure that the correct fork lift truck slots or marked lifting
/ tie down points are used whenever the machine is lifted
or transported.
When operating the machine ensure that there is
sufficient clearance for ventilation and exhaust
requirements, observing any specified minimum
dimensions (to walls, floors etc.).
Adequate clearance needs to be allowed around and
above the machine to permit safe access for specified
maintenance tasks.
Ensure that the machine is positioned securely and on a
stable foundation. Any risk of movement should be
removed by suitable means, especially to avoid strain on
any rigid discharge piping.
CONNECTING THE LOAD
Make sure the wires are not cracked or damaged in any
way.
Connect the proper phase wire to its corresponding bar
L1–L2–L3. Mixing phases connections can result in
equipment damage, accidents causing injuries or even
death.
Make sure your installation is in compliance with local
regulations.
PRIOR TO STARTING
Before starting the engine, carry out the following checks:
1. Engine oil level: Add as required.
CAUTION
DO NOT fill above the top mark on the dipstick. Oil
levels anywhere within crosshatch (D) are
considered in the acceptable operating range.
2. Engine coolant level: Add as required.
3. Fuel filter: Drain any accumulation of water. Clean or
replace element as required.
4. Air cleaner service indicator (if equipped): Service
immediately if showing "red" when the engine is
running.
5. Fuel level in tank: Fill, using CLEAN DIESEL fuel, at
the end of the day to minimise condensation.
6. Battery: Keep terminals clean and lightly greased.
7. Engine belts and hoses: Check for proper fit and / or
damage. Service as required.
8. Air Vents / Grilles: Both engine radiator and generator
cooling air. Check for obstructions (leaves, paper,
etc.).
9. Visual inspection: Check for excessive fluid leaks,
evidence of arcing around control panel, loose
wire-routing clamps, etc.
CAUTION
Call a qualified person to make electrical repairs.
WARNING
Do not remove the cap from a HOT engine radiator.
The sudden release of pressure from a heated
cooling system can cause severe injury or death.
