Maintenance and service parts
| Engine oil | Specification: Check the engine oil level during engine shutdown periods at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Table. The dipstick is stamped with FULL and ADD to indicate the level of oil in the crankcase. For accurate readings, shut off the engine and wait approximately 10 minutes before checking the engine oil level. |
|---|---|
| Oil filter | Interval: 200 hr; Specification: Spin off oil filter and discard it. Thoroughly clean filter mounting surface. Apply a thin film of oil to filter gasket and install new element. Spin element on by hand until gasket just touches mounting pad and then turn an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Do not over-tighten (Figure 5-2). With oil in crankcase, start engine and check for leaks around filter element. Retighten only as much as necessary to eliminate leaks but do not overtighten. |
| Fuel filter | Specification: Check for dirty fuel filter and replace if necessary (see Maintenance section). |
| Air filter | Interval: 90 hr; Specification: The engine air intake components should be checked at the interval indicated in Table 5-1. The frequency of cleaning or replacing air cleaner filter elements is primarily determined by the conditions in which the genset operates. The standard air cleaner contains a paper cartridge filter element which can be cleaned and reused if not damaged, or discarded and replaced. |
| Belt | Specification: An improperly adjusted fan belt can cause engine overheating and insufficient battery charging. Push on the fan belt in the middle and check that it deflects no more than 0.5 in. (13 mm) under a load of 15 lbs. (67 N). If belt is loose, loosen the two bolts on the battery charging alternator and adjust until proper tension is obtained. Retighten alternator bolts after adjustment. |
