Run the Generator Set
The final check is to observe the drive belt when the engine
is running.
1. Open the generator main line AC circuit breaker. -
When starting the engine for the first time after
completing the generator set site installation, confirm
that the drive belt is properly fitting in all grooves in the
pulleys. This only requires visual inspection.
2. If the belt wanders, walks, or jumps between pulleys,
either the fan drive needs to be realigned, or the belt
was improperly installed.
6. Recheck coolant levels after engine cools. Add
coolant if required.
7. Check oil level. Add oil if required.
8. Visually check the unit for fuel, water, or coolant leaks.
9. Double check for loose fittings and/or connectors.
10. Re-connect the battery cables and tighten securely.
11. Program and/or adjust the configuration of the
generator controls to the appropriate, required position.
If the unit is to remain in-service, place the control in
the "AUTO" position.
12. Close the generator main line AC circuit breaker.
13. The unit is now ready to automatically start and provide
emergency standby power.
PRE-START PREPARATION
3. If the belt or drive needs to be corrected, stop the engine
and disconnect the negative lead (-) of the starting
battery. Then disassemble the fan drive guard, realign
the fan drive pulley, and check for alignment again.
4. After the belt is properly installed, start the genset and
check for belt walk again.
5. Stop the genset and disconnect the battery negative.
Attach the remaining side guard bracket to the pedestal
and side fan drive guard to the bracket.
PRE-START PREPARATION
Wear safety glasses and stand far from the running fan
drive without guards installed. A misaligned fan drive or
improperly installed drive belt can cause the belt to break.
A properly aligned and installed belt can grab loose
clothing or body parts, causing severe injury.
Contact with hot coolant can result in serious burns. Allow
the engine to cool before loosening the radiator cap or
coolant drain.
