:
Cleaning the Radiator
The engine may overheat if the radiator fins become
overloaded with dust or debris. Periodically clean the radiator
fins with compressed air. Cleaning inside the machine is
dangerous, so clean only with the engine turned off and the
battery disconnected.
Air Cleaner
Periodic cleaning/replacement is necessary. Inspect it in
accordance with the
John Deere Engine Owner's Manual.
Fan Belt Tension
A slack fan belt may contribute to overheating, or to
insufficient charging of the battery. Inspect the fan belt for
damage and wear and adjust it in accordance with the
John
Deere Engine Owner's Manual.
The fan belt tension is proper if the fan belt bends 7 to 10
mm (Figure 40) when depressed with the thumb as shown
below.
Never place hands near the belts or fan while
the generator set is running.
Battery
This unit is of negative ground
DO NOT
connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level is not
properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary.
Check to see whether the battery cables are loose. Poor
contact may result in poor starting or malfunctions. Always
keep the terminals firmly tightened. Coating the terminals
with a thin film of grease will help inhibit corrosion.
