| Component | Maintenance | Notes and precautions |
| Lubrication system | Oil specifications Oil check Oil change Oil filter change |
Use specified oils according to Manufacturer’s indication. Check the oil level in the stand daily or before each start-up to ensure that the level is in the safe range. For the oil change remove the draining hose from its holder. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter clockwise by means of a suitable wrench. Apply a thin layer of oil to the rubber seal of the new filter. Replace the oil filter according at time intervals recommended by the Manufacturer. |
| Fuel system | Cleaning and replacement of fuel pre-filter Cleaning and replacement of fuel filter |
Replace fuel pre-filter at time intervals recommended by the Manufacturer. Close the fuel supply valve. Loosen the fuel filter by turning it counter clockwise. Remove the filter and clean the contact surface. Tighten the filter on the adapter until the seal comes in contact. Replace fuel filter within the intervals indicated by the Manufacturer. |
| Cooling system | Cleaning / replacement of the air cleaner Cooling liquid top up
Sea water strainer |
Release the two spring clamps and remove the cover of the air intake. Clean the cover and the base with a clean cloth so as to remove the dirt. Refit the filter and the cover at the base of the filter air intake. Replace the filter at time intervals recommended by the Manufacturer. Before filling the cooling system stop the generator and let it cool down. Close the draining taps. In order to discharge the pressure turn slowly the plug clockwise up to the first stop. At least once a week check for the correct water flow through the filters. |
Recover all waste materials (engine oil, fuel, filter, etc..) according to the rules in force concerning the special waste disposal.
Hot coolant and steams may cause heavy injuries or death.
Failure to observe the oil specifications may cause inadequate lubrication/oil pressure and cold-starting difficulties.
If the oil level is not positioned between the two reference notches do not activate any device.
Pay special attention to the coolant level. After the coolant drains, completely refill the engine coolant tank. Check the coolant level as prescribed in the Pre-start Checklist.
Sea water damage. Sea water quickly deteriorates metals.
Wipe up sea water on and around the generator set and remove salt deposits from metal surfaces.
Do not add coolant if the engine is still hot. Adding coolant to an hot engine can cause the cylinder block or cylinder head to crack. Wait until the engine has cooled down.
