Warning

This symbol draws attention to the potential risk to the health and life of people. Not following this instruction may seriously affect the health of people or prove fatal.

Important

This symbol indicates a dangerous situation if the warning is not heeded. Not following this instruction could result in non-serious injury or damage.

In order to obtain optimum efficiency and the longest possible life for the electrical generating sets, maintenance operations must be carried out according to the periods indicated in the attached preventative maintenance tables. If the electrical generating set is used under dusty or unfavourable conditions, some of these periods will be shorter. Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are carried out by personnel who have received the appropriate training. The dealers are suitably qualified and can answer all of your questions. They can also supply you with spare parts and other services. The left and right sides can be seen from the back of the electrical generating set (the radiator is at the front). Our electrical generating sets have been designed so that damaged or worn parts can be replaced by new or reconditioned parts thereby reducing the out of action period to a minimum. For all parts replacement, contact your nearest dealer representing our company who will have the necessary equipment and properly trained and informed staff to carry out maintenance, parts replacement and even total reconditioning of generating sets. Contact your local dealer for the available repair manuals and to make the necessary arrangements for training personnel in implementation and maintenance.

1.3. Instructions and safety regulations

THESE SAFETY GUIDELINES ARE IMPORTANT If you do not understand or have any questions about any point in this manual, contact your dealer who will explain it to you or give you a demonstration. A list of risks and precautionary measures to take follows. You should also refer to any local and national regulations that apply in accordance with your own jurisdiction.

KEEP THIS MANUAL This manual contains important instructions which must be followed when installing or carrying out maintenance on a generating set or batteries. 1.3.1 General advice Use

The operating and safety instructions must be made known to operating personnel. They will be regularly updated. Read and understand the manuals provided with the generating set, pump unit or lighting column properly. The manufacturer's

instructions must remain at the disposal of technicians, if possible in situ. The installation must be operated under the direct or indirect monitoring of a person appointed by the operator, who is familiar with

the operation of the installation, and the dangers and drawbacks of the products used or stored in the installation. Do not wear loose clothing, or approach machines in operation. Note that the fans are not clearly visible when the engine is

running. Warn personnel present to keep their distance during operation. Do not run the generating set, pump unit or lighting column without refitting the protective covers and closing all the access doors. Never let a child touch the generating set, pump unit or lighting column, even when shut down. Avoid running the generating set, pump unit or lighting column in the presence of animals (disturbance, scares, etc.). Apply the parking brake when the generating set or lighting column on its trailer is installed on the operating site. When chocking

the trailer on a slope, ensure that there is nobody behind it. Never start the engine without an air filter or exhaust. Engine with turbocharger: never start the engine without fitting the air filter. The compressor wheel rotating inside the turbocharger

may cause serious bodily injury. Foreign objects in the inlet pipe may cause mechanical damage. Engine with air preheating (starting components): never use a starting spray or any other similar starter assistance product. Upon

contact with the starting component, an explosion may occur in the inlet tube, causing injury. Do not touch the lighting column lights when they are switched on.

Maintenance

Follow the maintenance table and its prescriptions. Always use tools in good condition and suited to the work to be done. Ensure you have understood the instructions before

beginning any operation. Goggles should be worn when carrying out maintenance operations and watches, bracelets etc. should be removed. Fit only original parts. To prevent the motor from starting accidentally, disconnect the battery and pneumatic starter (if fitted) before beginning any

repairs. Fit a panel over the controls to prevent any attempt to start. Use only the correct crankshaft turning techniques, to turn the crankshaft manually. Do not try to turn the crankshaft by pulling it or

levering the fan. This method may cause serious bodily or material damage, or damage the fan vane(s), leading to premature fan failure.

Clean off any trace of oil or coolant using a clean cloth. Never use petrol or other inflammable substances to clean the parts. Use only approved cleaning solvents. Do not use a high pressure cleaner for cleaning the engine and equipment. The radiator, hoses, electrical components, etc. may

be damaged. Avoid accidental contact with parts at high temperatures (exhaust manifold, exhaust). Before any maintenance operation on a lighting column light, cut the electrical power supply and wait for the bulbs to cool down.

Consumables

Observe regulations in force concerning use of the fuel before using your generating set, pump unit or lighting column. Under no circumstances use seawater or any other corrosive or electrolytic product in the cooling circuit.

Environment

The operator must take the necessary measures to comply with the aesthetics of the site of use. The whole site must be maintained in a good state of cleanliness.

The premises must be kept clean, and be regularly cleaned so as to avoid accumulation of dangerous materials or pollutants and dust, which could ignite or cause an explosion. The cleaning equipment must be suited to the risks posed by the products and dust.

The presence of dangerous or combustible materials inside premises housing combustion devices shall be limited to operating requirements.

The facilities must be operated under the constant monitoring of a qualified person, who must regularly check that the safety devices are operating correctly and ensure that the combustion devices have the correct fuel supply.

7/136

Page 12: TP6685

Apart from the combustion devices, it is prohibited to use fire in any form. This ban must be displayed in clear terms. Spreading of waste water, sludge and waste is prohibited. The fuels to be used must correspond to those featured in the declaration file and the specifications recommended by the

combustion device manufacturer. The fuel is considered to be in the physical state it is in upon introduction into the combustion chamber. Burning of waste in the open air is prohibited. Always protect your hands when checking for leaks. Pressurised liquids may penetrate body tissue and cause serious damage.

Risk of blood contamination. Drain and dispose of engine oil in a specially provided container (fuel distributors can collect your used oil). Except by special agreement, once closed, the gas supply main unit must only be re-opened by the gas distributor. However, the

user may have access to it under certain conditions. Check these for each site. 1.3.2 Risks related to exhaust gases and fuels

Danger

Generating sets, pump units and lighting columns must not run in an unventilated place

Observe the local regulations in force for generating sets, pump units or lighting columns, as well as local regulations for the use of

fuel (petrol, diesel and gas), before using your generating set, pump unit or lighting column The fuel must be topped up with the engine shut down (except for generating sets with an automatic filling system). Engine exhaust gases are toxic: do not run the generating set, pump unit or lighting column in unventilated premises. If installed in

a ventilated room, additional requirements for fire and explosion protection must be observed. A leaking burnt gas exhaust may increase the sound level of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column. To check its

efficiency, regularly examine the burnt gas exhaust. The pipes must be replaced as soon as their condition demands it.

1.3.3 Risks related to toxic products

Warning

The corrosion inhibitor contains alkali. Do not swallow it. This substance should not come into contact with the eyes. In the event of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. In the event of contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with water and soap. CONSULT A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. KEEP THE PRODUCT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. The anti-rust product is toxic and dangerous if absorbed. Avoid all contact with the skin and eyes. Read the instructions on the packaging.

Glycol is a toxic product and dangerous if absorbed. Avoid all contact with the skin and eyes. Read the instructions on the packaging.

Never expose the equipment to liquid splashes or rainfall, and do not place it on wet ground. Always use the recommended fuels. Using low quality fuels risks damaging the engine and altering performance. The battery electrolyte is harmful to skin and especially eyes. If splashes get into eyes, rinse immediately with running water and/or

a 10% diluted boric acid solution. Wear protective eyewear and strong base resistant gloves for handling the electrolyte

8/136

Page 13: TP6685

1.3.4 Risk of fire, burns and explosion

Danger

The engine should not be operated in areas containing explosive products. As not all of the electrical and mechanical components are shielded, there is a risk of sparks forming.

Make sure not to create sparks or flames, and not to smoke near the batteries, as the electrolyte gases are highly flammable

(especially if the battery is charging). Their acid also poses a risk to the skin, and in particular to the eyes. Never cover the generating set, pump unit or lighting column with any material during operation or just after shutdown (wait for the

engine to cool). Do not touch hot parts such as the exhaust pipe or put combustible materials on it. Keep all flammable or explosive materials (e.g. petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) out of the way when the set is running. Proper ventilation is required for your generating set, pump unit or lighting column to work properly. Without this ventilation, the

engine would very quickly rise to too high a temperature, causing accidents or damage to the equipment and to surrounding property.

Do not remove the radiator cap if the engine is hot and the coolant is pressurised, due to risks of burns. Depressurise the air, oil and cooling circuits before removing or disconnecting all the fittings, pipes or connected components.

Watch out for the possible presence of pressure when disconnecting a device from a pressurised system. Do not try to find pressure leaks by hand. Oil at high pressure can cause bodily damage.

Some preservative oils are flammable. Also, some are dangerous to inhale. Ensure proper ventilation. Use a protective mask. Hot oil causes burns. Avoid contact with hot oil. Check that the system is no longer pressurised before carrying out any

procedures. Never start or run the engine with the oil filler cap off (oil may splash out). Never coat the generating set, pump unit or lighting column with a thin layer of oil to protect it from rust. Never top up the oil or coolant if the generating set, pump unit or lighting column is running, or if the engine is hot.

1.3.5 Risks related to electrical networks

The electrical equipment supplied with the generator set complies with standard NF C15.100 or the standards of the relevant countries.

The earth connection must be made in accordance with the standards in force in each country concerned and at the neutral speed sold.

Read the manufacturer's identification plate carefully. The values for voltage, power, current and frequency are shown. Check that these values match the supply use.

Never accidentally touch naked wires or disconnected connections. Never handle a generating set with wet hands or feet. Maintain electrical wires and connections in good condition. Using equipment in poor condition can lead to electrocution and

damage to equipment.

Always disconnect the equipment or installation (generator voltage, battery voltage and network voltage) before any operations. Electrical connections must be made in accordance with the standards and regulations in force in the country of use. Do not use faulty, poorly insulated or provisionally connected wires. Never invert the positive and negative battery terminals when connecting them. This could cause severe damage to the electrical

equipment. Follow the wiring diagram supplied by the manufacturer. The generator set should not be connected to any other power sources, such as the public distribution network. In specific cases

where there is provision for a reserve connection to existing electrical networks, this must only be carried out by a qualified electrician, who should take the operating differences of the equipment into account, according to whether the public distribution network or generating set is being used.

Protection against electric shocks is ensured by an assembly of specific equipment. If this needs to be replaced, it should be by components with identical nominal values and specifications

If the protective plates (blanking covers) need to be removed to pass cables, the protection (blanking cover) must be replaced when the operations are finished.

Due to strict mechanical specifications you should only use flexible resistant rubber sleeved wires, in compliance with CEI 245-4 or equivalent wires.

9/136

Page 14: TP6685

1.3.6 Dangers presented by electric currents (first aid) First aid

In the event of an electric shock, shut off the power immediately and activate the emergency stop on the generating set or lighting column. If the voltage has not yet been cut off, move the victim out of contact with the live conductor as quickly as possible. Avoid direct contact both with the live conductor and the victim's body. Use a dry plank of wood, dry clothes or other non-conductive materials to move the victim away. The live wire may be cut with an axe. Take extreme care to avoid the electric arc that will be generated by this.

Begin emergency procedures Resuscitation If breathing has stopped, begin artificial respiration at once in the same place the accident took place unless the victim or operator's life could be endangered by this. In the event of cardiac arrest, carry out cardiac massage. 1.3.7 Risks related to moving the set To unload the generating sets, pump units or lighting columns from their transport support brackets under optimum safety and efficiency conditions, you must ensure that the following points are observed:

Lifting machinery or equipment suited to the work required, in good condition and with sufficient lifting capacity. Slings positioned in the rings provided for this operation, or forklift arms resting fully underneath all of the base frame cross-beams,

or lifting bars inserted in the apertures provided for this purpose in the base to lift the entire generating set (according to models). For completely safe working conditions and to prevent damage to the components fitted on the upper edge of the set, pump unit or

lighting column, the generating set, pump unit or lighting column must be lifted up with an adjustable boom. All the chains and cables must be parallel with each other, and as perpendicular as possible with the upper edge of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column.

If other equipment fitted on the generating set, pump unit or lighting column alters its centre of gravity, special lifting devices may be necessary to maintain correct balance and completely safe working conditions.

Ground that can withstand the load of the generating set, pump unit or lighting column and its lifting machinery without stress (otherwise, put down beams of sufficient strength in a stable configuration).

Position the generating set, pump unit or lighting column as close as possible to its place of use or transport, in a clear space with free access.

Never perform work on a generating set, pump unit or lighting column just hanging from a lifting device.

3. Installation 3.1. Unloading 3.1.1 Safety during unloading - To unload electrical generating sets from their transport supports under optimum safety and efficiency conditions, you need to ensure

that the following points are observed: - Lifting machinery or equipment appropriate to the work required. - Slings positioned in the eyes provided for this operation or lifting arms resting fully underneath the chassis cross members. - Ground able to take the load of the set and the lifting machinery without stress (otherwise lay down beams of sufficient strength and

stability). - Set put down as close as possible to its point of use or transportation, in a clear area with free access. Example of equipment to be used:

Crane, slings, cross bar, safety catch, shackles. Fork lift truck.

3.1.2 Instructions for unloading 3.1.2.1. Slings

Attach the lifting vehicle slings to the rings on the generating set designed for this procedure. Hang the slings carefully. Check that the slings are correctly attached and the equipment is solid. Lift the generating set carefully. Direct and stabilise the set towards the chosen position. Carefully set down the equipment while continuing to position it. Release the slings, then detach and remove the lifting rings.

3.1.2.2. Fork lift truck

Position the arms of the fork lift under the frame, making sure that only the cross beams are resting on the arms. Lift and handle the equipment carefully. Set down the generating set in its unloading position.

Page 28: TP6685

3.2. Fluid retention Any outflow of the fluids contained in the generating sets (fuel, oil and coolant, or rainwater or condensation) will be collected in a retention container if the generating set is fitted with this option. The containers have a capacity which allows 110% of the fluids contained in the generating set fitted with this option to be collected. Three different fittings are available.

Diagram 3.2: Fluid retention container integrated into the tank chassis.

Diagram 3.3: Offset fluid retention container underneath the generating set chassis.

24/136

Page 29: TP6685

Diagram 3.4: Offset fluid retention container integrated into the chassis and tank.

Generating sets fitted with the offset tank option (DW) above also have a high level indicator in the retention container. In all cases, the retention containers must be regularly checked to ensure they contain no fluid (fuel, oil and coolant, or rainwater or condensation). If necessary, drain the containers either via the drain port or by using the drain pump (for containers fitted with this pump).

Note: Never allow these fluids to drain onto the ground; ensure they are collected in a designated container. 3.3. Choice of location It should be determined on the basis of use. There are no specific rules governing the choice of location, other than proximity to the electric distribution panel and disturbances caused by the noise. However, fuel supply, burnt gas evacuation, and the direction of these gases and the noises emitted should be taken into account. The choice of its position will be based on carefully considered compromise! Examples of problems that may be encountered:

Incorrect exhaust and ventilation Ground too uneven or soft. Set incorrectly positioned Reduced access

Fuel filling impossible Opening cover doors impossible

3.4. Electricity a) Connections - general information As with low voltage electrical installations, use and maintenance is governed by standard NFC 15.100 (France) or by the standards in the relevant country, based on international standard IEC 60364-6-61. They must also adhere to the regulations in the NFC 15.401 application guide (France) or to the regulations and standards in the relevant country. b) Power cables These can be unipolar or multipolar according to the power of the generating set. Power cables should preferably be installed in ducts or on a cable tray for this purpose. The cable cross-section and number of cables should be determined according to the cable type and the current standards to be observed in the country of installation. The choice of conductors must comply with international standard IEC 30364-5-52.

c) Battery cables Install the battery or batteries in close proximity to the electric starter motor. The cables will be connected directly from the battery terminals to the starter motor terminals. The first instruction to follow is to check that the polarities of the battery and starter motor correspond. Never swap the positive and negative battery terminals when connecting them. This could cause severe damage to the electrical equipment. The minimum cross-section of the cables is 70 mm2. It varies according to the power of the starter motor but also the distance between the batteries and the set (voltage drops on the line). d) Safety guidelines References: NFC 15-100:2002 (France) - IEC: 60364-5-54 The generating set must be earthed. To do this, use a copper wire, with a minimum cross-section of 25 mm2 for a stripped cable and 16 mm2 for an insulated cable, connected to the generating set earth socket and a galvanised steel earthing rod embedded vertically into the ground. For a default voltage of 25 V and a default current of 30 mA, this rod must be of a minimum length of: see table below

Nature of ground Length of

rod in metres

Thick arable land, moist compact ballast 1

Lean arable land, gravel, coarse ballast 1

Bare stony soils, dry sand, impermeable rock 3.6

To obtain an equivalent length, you can use several earthing rods connected in parallel and set apart by at least their length. Example: 4 interconnected 1 metre rods separated by 1 metre.

Note: For the United States (National Electrical Code reference NFPA-70). The generating set must be earthed. To do this, use a copper wire with a minimum cross-section of 13.3 mm² (or AWG 6, at most) connected to the generating set earth socket and a galvanised steel earthing rod embedded vertically and fully into the ground. This earthing rod embedded fully in the ground must have a minimum length of 2.5m. 3.5. Special arrangements Generating sets are not fitted with protection against power surges caused by drops in atmospheric pressure or manoeuvring. The company does not accept any responsibility regarding damage caused by these occurrences. However, lightning conductors can be installed, on the understanding that this does not give total protection.

4. Trailer 4.1. Trailer linkage Before attaching the trailer, check the trailer hook on the tow vehicle; it should fit the trailer ring perfectly.

Danger

Trying to tow a trailer with a non-matching device (bar, wires, cords, etc.) could lead to serious accidents. Also check:

- no incipient fractures or excessive wear on the hitching system. - locking system is operating properly.

To hitch the trailer, proceed as follows:

Lock the wheels to stop the trailer from moving. Lift up the rear trailer supports and lock them. Release the parking brake. Release the locking levers for the draw bar arms and adjust the ring to the same height as the vehicle hook. Hitch the trailer, remove the locks on each side of the wheels then lift up the front wheel fully using its handle. Connect the electrical circuit of the trailer to that of the tow vehicle. Hook the handbrake safety wire onto the hook on the tow vehicle.

Diagram 4.1 : Coupling a trailer 4.2. Check before towing Before towing, check the following:

tightness of the generating set enclosure bolts torquing of the wheels locking of the trailer hook pressure of the tyres operation of the light signals enclosure doors closed parking brake released front wheels and rear supports lifted. tightening and fixing of the draw bar arms locking levers brake test for "road" type trailers brake safety cable fitted.

4.3. Operation "On-site" type trailer These trailers are not fitted with a main brake and so cannot brake when operating; the tyres are designed for a speed of 17 mph (27 Km/h). Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to exceed this speed "Road" type trailer The driving speed should be adapted to road conditions and the trailer handling. Driving at sustained speed causes tyres to heat up; therefore it is important to stop from time to time to check them. Excessive heating can lead to a blow out and hence a serious accident. When reversing, do not forget to lock the overrun brake.

Warning

Particular attention must be paid to wheel torquing on new vehicles. Indeed, during the first few miles, heat build-ups on the wheel hubs and brake drums lead to reduced wheel torquing. It is therefore essential to check the torquing every 6 miles (10 kilometres) until no further loosening is noted. The torque test should nevertheless be carried out before towing.

4.4. Unhitching the trailer This operation should be carried out on horizontal, flat, stable ground.

Lock the wheels. Lower the front wheel. Disconnect the road signals wire. Refit the hitch using the wheel to release the hook ring from the tow vehicle. Engage the handbrake. Release the tow vehicle.

4.5. Implementation for installation Operations to be carried out:

Ensure that the ground is strong enough for the assembly not to sink into it. Release the handbrake. Using the front wheel, position the generating set as horizontally as possible. Apply the handbrake. Lower the rear trailer supports and lock them.

29/136

Page 34: TP6685

5. Preparation before operating the set

Danger

The inspections referred to in this section enable the electrical generator set to operate. Specific skills are required to carry out these operations. They must only be entrusted to personnel with the necessary skills. Failure to follow these instructions in any way could result in malfunction or very serious accidents.

5.1. Installation checks

• Check that the general recommendations given in the installation section (ventilation, exhaust, fluids, etc.) are observed. • Carry out the level checks (oil, water, diesel fuel, battery). • Check the generating set earth connection is earthed. • Check that the electrical connections are in order.

5.2. Checks after starting the generating set

• Carry out the mechanical checks (oil pressure, water temperature, absence of noise etc.). • Carry out the electrical checks (voltage and frequency). • Carry out the safety checks (emergency stop, oil pressure, water temperature etc.).

6. Using the generating set 6.1. Pre-Start Inspection Inspection round Check that the following are not present:

deposits of debris, oil, fuel or refrigerant leaks, damage to or wearing of the component parts.

Checking the engine oil level

Important

The engine must be in the horizontal position for the oil level check. Pull out the dipstick, clean it, put it back in the tube for 2 seconds and pull it out again to read the oil level.

The engine oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the dipstick. Top up the oil if necessary.

Checking the fuel level

Fuel level information, expressed as a percentage of the fuel tank filling level is displayed on the control unit screens. If necessary, top up the level before using the generating set.

30/136

Page 35: TP6685

Checking the fuel pre-filter

Danger

The fuel is highly flammable and its vapours are combustible. The fuel pre-filter must only be bled when the engine is stopped and cold.

Check that there is no water or sediment at the bottom of the pre-filter. If necessary, drain the pre-filter using the following procedure:

Undo the drain plug (A) at the bottom of the pre-filter by two or three turns. Collect the water and/or sediment in a suitable container. When fuel starts to flow out, tighten the drain plug. Check that there are no leaks. If necessary, reprime the fuel circuit.

Checking the refrigerant level

Important

If topping up, be sure to maintain the Long Lasting Refrigerant concentration level. Do not use water as it will dilute the Long Lasting Refrigerant and compromise the anti-freeze protection. The refrigerant level should be checked when the engine is cold.

The refrigerant level should be below the filling port. Top up, if necessary, with recommended refrigerant (see “fuels and consumables”).

6.3.4.4. Engine fault codes display Certain alarms and engine faults generate specific fault codes. These codes are standardised according to the J1939 and/or J1587 standards, except for MTU engines that have a specific transmission protocol (see appendix, if applicable). Terminology used by the SAE CAN J1939 standard

SPN: Suspect Parameter Number

This represents the system or component at fault, for example: SPN 100, indicates an oil pressure problem or a problem with the oil pressure sensor.

FMI: Failure Mode identifier This represents the type of fault that has occurred. This may be an electrical, mechanical or equipment fault.

Terminology used by VOLVO

SID: System Identifier This term, used in the J1587 standard, has an equivalent in the J1939 standard (SPN). However, this term corresponds, more particularly, to an assembly of components, for example, the injection system.

PID: Parameter Identifier This term, used in the J1587 standard, has an equivalent in the J1939 standard (SPN). However, this term corresponds, more particularly, to a specific component, for example, a sensor.

PPID: Parameter Identifier This term, used in the J1587 standard, has an equivalent in the J1939 standard (SPN). PPID corresponds to PID, but is only used by VOLVO.

FMI: Failure Mode identifier This represents the type of fault that has occurred. This may be an electrical, mechanical or equipment fault. VOLVO uses a SID-FMI or PID-FMI or PPID-FMI combination.

Terminology used by PERKINS

CID: Component parameter This term used by PERKINS has an equivalent in the J1939 standard (SPN).

FMI: Failure Mode identifier This represents the type of fault that has occurred. This may be an electrical, mechanical or equipment fault.

Terminology used by JOHN DEERE

SPN: Suspect Parameter Number

This represents the system or component at fault, for example: SPN 100, indicates an oil pressure problem or a problem with the oil pressure sensor.

7. Maintenance schedule 7.1. Reminder of use The maintenance interval frequency and the operations to be carried out are outlined in the maintenance schedule, given as a guideline. N.B. the environment in which the generating set is operating determines this schedule. If the generating set is used in extreme conditions, shorter intervals between maintenance procedures should be observed These maintenance intervals only apply to generating sets running on fuel, oil and coolant which conform to the specifications given in this manual.

7.2. Engine Position 10 hrs /

55/136

Page 60: TP6685

8. Battery

Danger

Fit the battery so that it is properly ventilated. Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. If replacing the batteries, use the same type of batteries. Do not throw the old battery in the fire. Only use insulated tools (the operator should not be wearing a watch, bracelet or any metal object) Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level. Use an approved battery fluid. Batteries release oxygen and hydrogen gas, which are flammable. Never bring flames or sparks near the battery (risk of explosion). Discharge any static electricity before handling the batteries by first touching an earthed metal surface. Do not use the battery when the fluid level is below the minimum required levelUsing a battery with a low electrolyte level could result in an explosion. Do not short the battery terminals with a tool or other metal object. When disconnecting battery cables, remove the cable from the negative (-) terminal first. When reconnecting the battery, connect the positive lead (+) first. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area, with all filler caps removed. Ensure that the battery terminals are correctly tightened. A loose cable clamp can cause sparks that could result in an explosion. Before servicing electrical components or performing electric welding, set the battery switch to the [OFF] position or disconnect the battery negative cable (-) to cut off the electrical current. Electrolyte contains dilute sulphuric acid. Careless handling of the battery causing contact with sulphuric acid could damage your eyesight or cause burns. Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when working with the battery (topping-up fluid, charging, etc.) If electrolyte comes into contact with your skin or clothes, wash it off immediately with plenty of water, then carefully wash the area with soap. If electrolyte comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor as soon as possible. If electrolyte is accidentally swallowed, gargle with plenty of water and drink large quantities of water. Consult a doctor immediately. Large quantities of electrolyte should be rinsed off using a neutralising agent. A common method is to use a solution of 500g of bicarbonate of soda diluted in 4 litres of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution should be added until the reaction has finished (lather). The remaining liquid should be rinsed off with water and left to dry.

8.1. Storage and transport

Dry batteries do not need any maintenance. Batteries ready to use must be stored in a cool dry place (frost free) protected from the sun (self-discharge). Batteries ready for use must be recharged at the latest when the acid density drops below 1.20g/ml. Batteries must be transported and stored in the vertical position (risk of acid escaping). Leave the terminal cover on the positive terminal.

56/136

Page 61: TP6685

8.2. Battery setting into service Batteries filled with acid have a density of 1.28 g/ml and are charged. In the case of dry batteries, fill each battery cell with acid up to the maximum level mark or to 15 mm above the plates. Let the

battery rest for 20 minutes. Before fitting the battery, stop the engine and any power consumer, clean the terminals and give them a light coating of grease.

When connecting, connect the positive terminal (+) first, and then the negative terminal (-).

8.3. Check

Acid density Charge status Voltage when idle 1.27 100% Above 12.60 V 1.25 80% 12.54 V 1.20 60% 12.36 V From 50 % recharge 1.19 40% 12.18 V Risk of sulphation 1.13 20% Under 11.88 V Unusable

57/136

Page 62: TP6685

8.4. Load preconization Very discharged or sulphated batteries can no longer regenerate or charge in a generating set.

Note: Sulphation is the formation of whitish lead sulphate deposit on the plates which becomes hard and insoluble in acid. This deposit reduces the active surface of the plates and increases their internal resistance.

Important

A discharged battery may become irreparably damaged. Recharge it immediately

Battery charge

When several batteries are connected together, the following points should be checked:

Are the batteries connected in series? Is the voltage chosen exact? 1 x 12 V battery, 3 x 36V batteries Adjust the charge current to the lowest battery. The power difference between the batteries must be as low as possible.

Example of charge:

12V 60 Ah battery = charging current 6 A Charge status: 50% (acid density 1.21/voltage when idle 12.30V) The battery should be recharged to 30Ah Charge factor: 1.2 Ah x 1.2 = 36 Ah to be charged Charging current: 6A approximately 6 hours charging required.

Recharging is complete when the battery voltage and the acid density stop increasing. → The charging current must always be 1/10th of the nominal capacity of the battery. The power of the charger must be suitable for the battery to be charged and the charging time available. You need to use an automatic charger able to provide a sufficient voltage and charging current, as well as a compensation voltage to handle spontaneous battery discharge.

58/136

SAFETY

1 SAFETY

1.1 Preventing fire and explosionsFire hazards!

Do not smoke while refueling, or when handling fuel containers. Do not use gasoline or diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Good quality commercial, non-flammable, and non-toxic solvents are recommended. Do not spill any fuel on hot surfaces. Clean up any spillage immediately.

Do not fill fuel tank while the engine is running!

Shut off the engine when fueling and use extra caution if the engine is hot.

Do not bring close to flammable materials!

Do not put flammable materials on hot parts of the exhaust pipe. Keep them away from the pipe. In addition, do not operate the engine in areas where flammable materials are present.

Connect the battery earth cable carefully!

Finally, connect the earth cable (negative terminal) to the engine block, when starting the engine using another battery. If it is accidentally connected to the negative terminal of the mounted battery, a spark may occur, igniting the explosive gas produced by the battery. After starting the engine, first disconnect the earth cable.

AIways be alert to any fuel or oil leaks!

If you discover any leaks, take counter-measures immediately. If there are fuel or oil spills on the hot engine, fire may occur, resulting in personal injury or damage to the equipment.

SAFETY

Keep the engine and its compartment clean!

Remove all flammable materials such as fuel, oil, and other debris, before they accumulate on the engine.

1.2 Prevent burnsRemove the radiator filler cap carefully!

Under operating temperatures, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The steam can cause personal injury. Check the coolant level only after the engine has been turned off and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hands. If necessary grip the cap with a cloth and remove it slowly in order to gradually relieve the pressure.

Do not touch any hot components!

At operating temperature, the engine components become very hot. Avoid any contact during operation. Service the engine only after it has been stopped and the components are cool enough to touch with your bare hands.

Avoid burns!

SAFETY

1.7 Operating precautionBe sure to break in the engine!

During the first 50 hours of operation, break in the engine by using lighter loads and lower speeds than normal. A proper break in contributes to the maximum service life of the engine.

Warm up the engine before operation!

After starting the engine, leave it idling for 5 to 10 minutes before operating under full load, for maximum engine life.

NOTE: Long periods of warming up the engine are not recommended. They can deposit carbon in cylinders and cause incomplete fuel combustion.

Stop the engine only after it has cooled down!

Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under a load, can result in overheating and accelerated wear of the engine components. Before stopping the engine, leave it idling for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the hot areas in the engine to cool down gradually, which extends engine life. While the engine is running, make a walk-around inspection to make sure everything is functioning properly.

Use the starting motor correctly!

When starting the engine, do not crank it for more than 10 seconds at a time. After every 10 seconds of engine cranking, allow 30 seconds for the starting motor to cool before cranking it again.

Page 77: TP6685

SAFETY

Do not break any seals for settings!

Never attempt to break the seals of the fuel injection pump (governor) controlling injection quantity and minimum and maximum speed settings. Breaking these seals and varying settings could result in:

• Accelerated wear of the engine components• Seizure of or damage to the engine

components• Increase in fuel and oil consumption• Maladjusted injection quantity and poor

engine performance• Violation to emission regulations

Do not turn OFF the battery switch during operation!

To avoid damage to the alternator diodes and the transistors, do not turn OFF the battery switch when the engine is running. This could also result in a failure of instruments to work properly.

AIways keep the engine compartment well ventilated!

Unless the engine compartment is properly ventilated, the air supply will be inadequate, resulting in a shortage of air for fuel combustion and the loss of power.

Avoid overloading!

Overloading can cause incomplete combustion, often indicated by black smoke, high fuel consumption, and carbon deposits in the combustion chambers, adversely affecting the engine lifespan.

SAFETY

1.8 Maintenance precautionsUse the recommended fuel, oil, and coolant!

Use of any other fuel, oil, or coolant can cause engine damage and reduce the engine service life.

Perform all recommended inspections!

Perform pre-start inspection and periodic inspection on items listed in this manual. Failure to follow this recommendation can cause engine damage, injury, or death.

Keep water out of the engine!

When washing the engine, cover the air inlet and exhaust opening with tape to prevent water or cleaning agent from getting inside the engine. Do not wash the engine while it is running. If water or cleaning agents get inside the combustion chambers, the hammering action of water can damage the engine.

Keep grit-laden air out of the engine!

Dust and dirt entering the engine will cause early wear of the moving parts. This could result in a loss of power, high oil consumption, starting problems, or other failures. Service the air filter as instructed.

1. Do not service the air filter while the engine is running.

2. When removing the air filter element for service, prevent any dust from entering the air intake to the cylinders.

SAFETY

3. Service the air filter equipped with a dust indicator when red is shown. Under-frequent service can cause damage.

1.9 If any trouble should occurIf the engine suddenly stops:

Do not restart the engine immediately after it has suddenly stopped. Check for the cause and make the necessary repairs before restarting the engine. A failure to follow this precaution can cause serious engine problems.

If the engine oil pressure is low:

Stop the engine immediately and check the lubrication system. Operating the engine with low oil pressure can cause bearings and other parts to seize.

lf the engine overheats:

If the engine overheats, do not turn it off immediately. Suddenly stopping an overheated engine can result in a steep rise in the coolant temperatures and the seizure of running parts. First leave the engine idling to allow the hot areas in the engine to cool down, then gradually add the coolant. Remember, adding coolant to an overheated engine can cause damage to the cylinder head.

If the fan belt is broken:

Stop the engine immediately. Operating the engine with a broken fan belt can cause engine overheating, which, in its turn, can cause the coolant to burst out of the reservoir tank and the radiator cap.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.1 Operating the engine properly1. Never attempt to break the seals of the

injection pump governor for maximum speed and maximum injection quantity settings. Breaking these seals and varying the settings could result in:• Accelerated wear of engine components• Increase in fuel and oil consumption• Maladjusted injection quantity and poor

engine performance• A violation to emission regulations

2. Always keep the engine room well ventilated. If it is not properly ventilated, the air supply will be inadequate, resulting in lack of air for fuel combustion and loss of power.

3. Start the engine properly. After every 10 seconds of engine cranking, allow 30 seconds for the starting motor to cool before cranking it again.

4. After starting the engine, leave it idling for 5 to 10 minutes before operating it at full load, for maximum engine life.

5. To avoid damage to the alternator, do not turn OFF the battery switch when the engine is running.

6. Avoid overloading. Overloading can cause incomplete combustion, often indicated by black exhaust, high fuel consumption, and carbon deposits in the combustion chambers, affecting engine lifespan.

7. It is advised to break in the engine within the first 50 hours of operation. The way to do this is by operating the engine under a lighter load and lower speeds than normal. When an engine is properly broken in, it contributes to the maximum service life of the engine.

8. Stopping the engine immediately after it has been working under load can result in accelerated wear of engine components. Before stopping, leave the engine idling for about 5 minutes. This allows hot areas of the engine to cool down gradually, extending the engine life. Whilst the engine is running, make a walk-around inspection and check for oil, fuel, or coolant leaks.

2.2 Service the engine properly1. Use the recommended fuel, oil, and coolant

listed in this manual. The use of any other fuel, oil, or coolant can result in higher maintenance costs and can reduce the engine service life.

2. Be sure to perform pre-start inspection and periodic service on items specified in this manual. Improper inspection or service is dangerous and could result in damage to the engine, injury, or death.

3. At the end of each day of operation, check the engine for broken, defective, or missing parts. If you discover any items that need attention, repair, replacement, or adjustment after your daily check, report it as soon as possible. Keep in mind that even minor defects could result in very serious trouble.

4. When washing the engine, cover the air inlet and the exhaust openings with tape to prevent water or cleaning agent from getting inside the engine. Do not attempt to wash the engine when it is running. If water or cleaning agent gets inside the combustion chambers, the hammering action of water could cause damage to the engine.

5. Clean air is essential to a satisfactory engine operation and to a long engine life. This is also the reason why it is very important to service the air cleaner properly. The air cleaner prevents dust and grit-laden air from getting into the engine. Dust and dirt entering the engine will cause rapid wear of piston rings, cylinders, and pistons, resulting in loss of power and high oil consumption. Also, if dust and dirt are allowed to build up in the air cleaner passages, then this will eventually restrict the air supply to the engine and result in heavy carbon deposits on the pistons and valves due to an incomplete combustion. Therefore:• Do not service the air cleaner when the

engine is running.• When removing the air cleaner from the

engine for servicing, prevent dust from entering the air passage to the cylinders.

• Service the air cleaner element at reasonable intervals, or whenever the signal of the indicator is visible. That is, if your engine is equipped with an indicator signal.

• Do not use the element if any tears, rips, or damage are evident.

NOTELong periods of warming up the engine are not recommended. They can result in carbon deposits in the combustion chambers and incomplete fuel combustion.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.3 If any trouble should occur1. If the engine stops abruptly, try to find the

problem and its source and make the necessary repairs before starting the engine again.

2. If the engine overheats, a warning light will come on and, at the same time, the engine will stop. When this happens, do not ever add coolant to the overheated engine. First allow the engine to cool down, then add the coolant gradually.

3. If the engine oil pressure becomes low, stop the engine and check for the cause. Operating the engine while the oil pressure is low can cause seizure of the bearings and other parts.

FUEL SPECIFICATIONS

ENGLISH

7 FUEL SPECIFICATIONS

7.1 Recommended types of fuelsThe quality of fuel is a very important factor in obtaining satisfactory engine performance, long engine life, and acceptable exhaust emission levels.

This engine is designed to burn fuels marketed to meet ASTM Designation D 975 (grade No. 2-D).

7.2 Caring for the diesel fuel tankFill the diesel fuel tank at the end of the day, because the incoming fuel will drive out the moisture-laden air and prevent condensation. Before starting the engine after 50 service hours, remove the drain plug and drain off any sediment or water which may have accumulated.

7.3 Caring for the fuel supplyIt is important to buy clean fuel and keep it clean. Natural settling is an effective method of cleaning fuel. Allow the fuel to stand for at least 10 days in the fuel storage tank after the tank has been filled and before the fuel is transferred to the diesel fuel tank. Be sure to drain all the water and sediment that has settled in the bottom of the tank before the tank is refilled. Occasionally, drain all of the fuel and clean the tank thoroughly.

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS

8 LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS

8.1 Recommended types of engine oils

Use oils that meet the API engine oil classification CF or CF-4 class. Proper oil selection assures cranking ability by maintaining an oil film on the cylinder walls and bearing surfaces in conditions which provide low friction and therefore less cranking effort to achieve cranking speeds necessary for reliable starting. Improper oil selection may result in congealed oil film on the cylinder walls and the bearing surfaces. This can result in high friction loads and more cranking effort, thus standing in the way of achieving sufficient cranking speeds for reliable starting and affecting engine life.

8.2 Recommended oil viscositiesThere are two important considerations related to satisfactory engine operation under ambient temperature conditions — (1) the ability to crank the engine fast enough to assure starting, and (2) adequate lubrication of internal wearing surfaces during starting and warm-up. These considerations can be adequately met through proper grade selection. Recommended oil viscosities are shown in the chart below:

Mitsubishi recommends the all-season type engine oil of SAE 10W-30.

8.3 Limiting requirements for engine oils

If a used oil analysis program is conducted in order to determine the condition of the oil, consult the chart below. Change the oil if any of these requirements are not met.

CAUTIONAvoid mixing oils with different brands. In most cases, oils with different brands are not compatible and, when mixed, they can seize parts such as piston rings, cylinders, etc. and cause wear to moving parts. It is best to stick with the same brand and one type of oil at successive service intervals.

)

9.3 How to use non-amine type LLC

1. The engine coolant with any of the recommended additives should be changed every 2 years.

2. The proper concentration of LLC is from 30% to 60% all year round. Aim at a temperature level which is 5°C (9°F) lower than the expected lowest temperature. LLC of less than 30% concentration does not provide sufficient corrosion protection. Concentrations over 60% adversely affect freeze protection and heat transfer rates. When adding coolant, use LLC of the same concentration.

9.4 Why LLC?Today's full-blown trend is toward smaller and more lightweight engines, higher output, lower fuel consumption, and lower exhaust emission levels. Engine application has also expanded. In most applications, the engine coolant is compelled to withstand severe conditions such as continuous high-power operation with a higher coolant temperature and a higher speed of coolant recirculation in the cooling circuit. Many materials involved in the circuit (such as steel, aluminum, copper, solder, and rubber) are also subject to severe servicing. These materials differ in ionizing tendency and this difference promotes cavitation and deterioration through the medium of engine coolant. The ideal of breaking the link between cause and effect to preserve the circuit can be realized by using LLC.

9.5 How LLC worksLLC contains several chemicals in such proportions as to produce a chemical reaction that suppresses corrosion of the engine parts in contact with coolant. "Corrosion" is the result of a phenomenon called "ionization."

The power of LLC to defeat the ionic reaction is generally subject to wear and the engine coolant becomes increasingly weak at that time.

Moreover, if its chemicals are not properly proportioned to match the circuit metals which

WARNINGLLC is toxic and can cause personal injury if it comes into contact with the skin or the eyes. If LLC gets in your eyes, wash them with water immediately and see a doctor at once.

NOTEWhen using any other LLC, refer to the coolant mixture chart shown on the container.

WARNINGConsult your Mitsubishi dealer for disposal of a used coolant containing LLC.

COOLANT AND ANTIFREEZE SPECIFICATIONS

they are meant to protect, they are used up due to aging and this allows some metals to precipitate into the coolant or to form new compounds which can result in rusty surface deposits. Some chemicals, calculated to inhibit this ionic reaction, might accelerate the reaction of those metals that have already begun to react.

The worse case scenario is that the process of the ionic reaction or corrosion will go on faster than when the coolant is straight water without additives, if there is not a good match between the chemical proportions and the circuit metals.

9.6 Practical reported cases of circuit trouble for which additive is blamed

Case 1:

Amines are generally effective in suppressing the rusting of ferrous metals but are said to be problematic for copper and cupric metals because of copper involvement in pittings reported on Fe metals. The mechanism of Fe-surface pitting may be explained as that of galvanic or local-cell action. Suppose a cluster of copper molecules precipitates and deposits itself on a surface of Fe, a base metal relative to copper. The copper deposit introduces a localized galvanic cell which, by its ionic action, rapidly eats into the Fe surface to result in a pit.

Case 2:

A silicate (there are several types of silicate) is highly effective in protecting aluminium against rusting. This compound of silicon is unstable in a solution whose pH is 9 or less: it is prone to turn to gel and settle down in the solution. For this reason, the pH is usually specified to be 10 or so. This means that the silicate has to be used in a high-alkalinity coolant. When the silicate is used up, the high alkalinity starts chemically attacking the aluminium.

Example

The mechanical seal of the water pump may rapidly wear down as the secondary effect of silicate gel in the above context.

Case 3:

As the additive as a whole deteriorates or when its concentration in the coolant is too low, its anti-corrosion performance falls and consequently the circuit metals begin to corrode. Of those metals

badly affected in such a condition, brass and solder — the materials used in the cores of the radiator — become particularly victimized. The cause of coolant leakage from and clogging of the coolant circuit in the radiator is usually traceable to such a malcondition of the coolant.

TROUBLESHOOTING

11 TROUBLESHOOTING

11.1 General11.1.1 Think before you act

Upon noting a defective indication, recall what you did the last time when you came across the same indication. If what you did was correct and successful, do the same again. If the symptom noted is new to you, think of a possible cause in accordance with the troubleshooting procedure which follows.

11.1.2 Dust and dirt are often the main causes

“Wear” is usually the result of abrasive particles. When disconnecting or disassembling a part or component, be sure to keep out dust and dirt.

11.1.3 Use original parts

Use only original parts to replace those that have failed or reached their service limits. When

ordering, specify the needed replacement parts by referring to the Parts Catalogue.

11.1.4 Perform servicing work safely

Use the right kind of hand tools to carry out each working step in repair work. Avoid injury to yourself and damage to the parts by using proper tools. When lifting or carrying a part that is too heavy for one person to handle, get another person’s help and, if necessary, use a jack or a hoisting device.

CAUTION• Never attempt to break the seals of the

governor for maximum speed setting or maximum injection quantity setting.

1.1 - Standards and safety measures Our alternators comply with most international standards and are compatible with :- the recommendations of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 34-1, (EN 60034).- the recommendations of the International Standards Organisation ISO 8528.- the European Community directive 89/336/EEC on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).- the European Community directives 73/23/EEC and93/68/EEC (Low Voltage Directive).They are CE marked with regard to the LVD (Low Voltage Directive) in their role as a machine component. A declaration of incorporation can be supplied on request.Before using your generator for the first time, read carefully the contents of this installation and maintenance manual, supplied with the machine. All operations performed on the generator should be undertaken by qualified personnel with specialist training in the commissioning, servicing and maintenance of electrical and mechanical machinery. This maintenance manual should be retained for the whole of the machine’s life and be handed over with the contractual file.The various operations described in this manual are accompanied by recommendations or symbols to alert the user to potential risks of accidents. It is vital that you understand and take notice of the different warning symbols.

1.2 - InspectionOn receipt of your alternator, check that it has not sufferedany damage in transit. If there are obvious signs of knocks,contact the transporter (you may able to claim on theirinsurance) and after a visual check, turn the machine by handto detect any malfunction.

1.3 - IdentificationThe alternator is identified by means of a nameplate fixed on the frame.Make sure that the nameplate on the machine conforms to your order.The machine name is defined according to various criteria (see below).Example of description for : LSA 42.2 S4 J6/4 -• LSA : name used in the PARTNER range M : Marine / C : Cogeneration / T : Telecommunications.• 42.2 : machine type• S4 : model• J : field excitation system (C:AREP / J:SHUNT / E:COMPOUND)• 6/4 : winding number / number of poles.

1.3.1 - NameplateSo that you can identify your machine quickly and accurately,we suggest you fill in its specifications on the nameplatebelow.

1.4 - StoragePrior to commissioning, machines should be stored : - Away from humidity : in conditions of relative humidity of more than 90%, the machine insulation can drop very rapidly, to just above zero at around 100%; monitor the state of the anti-rust protection on unpainted parts.For storage over an extended period, the machine can be placed in a sealed enclosure (heatshrunk plastic for example) with dehydrating sachets inside, away from significant and frequent variations in temperature to avoid the risk of condensation during storage.- If the area is affected by vibration, try to reduce the effect ofthese vibrations by placing the generator on a dampersupport (rubber disc or similar) and turn the rotor a fraction ofa turn once a fortnight to avoid marking the bearing rings.
