DCA-70SSJU SERIES — MAINTENANCE
Service Daily
If the engine is operating in very
dusty
or
dry grass
conditions, a
clogged air cleaner will result. This can lead to a loss of power,
excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber and high
fuel consumption. Change air cleaner more
frequently
if these
conditions exists.
Fuel Addition
Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season and
locations). Always pour through the mesh filter.
Removing Water from the Fuel Tank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate in
the bottom of the tank. Occasionally remove the drain cock and
drain the contents. During cold weather, the more empty volume
inside the tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be
reduced by keeping the tank full with diesel fuel.
General Inspection
Prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and inspected
for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or damaged nuts, bolts
or other fasteners. Also check for fuel, oil, and coolant leaks.
Engine Side
(Refer to the Engine Instruction Manual)
Air Cleaner
Every 50 hours: Remove air cleaner element and clean the heavy
duty paper element with kerosene, or foam element with liquid
detergent and hot water. Wrap foam element in a cloth and
squeeze dry. For heavy duty paper element, wipe excess
kerosene with towel.
Air Cleaner with Dust Indicator
This indicator is attached to the air cleaner. When the air cleaner
element is clogged, air intake restriction becomes greater and
the dust indicator signal shows “
RED
” meaning the element
needs changing. After changing the air element, press the dust
indicator button to reset the indicator.
