First Level Maintenance Inspection of Standby Generator


Diesel generator sets can be divided into two types according to the use situation: one is based on mains power, generator set standby power supply equipment and the other is generator-based power supply equipment. To ensure that the genset is in good condition and prolong the service life of the machine, the technical maintenance system of the diesel engine must be implemented. The technical maintenance categories are divided into:

First level maintenance inspection (daily or weekly)

Secondary maintenance inspection (every 250 hours or one month)

Level 3 maintenance inspection (every 1500 hours or half a year)

The standby generator should run regularly for about 10 minutes, so as to evaporate the water in the diesel engine body and achieve moisture and corrosion protection.

First level maintenance inspection

1. Check oil level.

Use a diesel oil dipstick to check the oil level. In order to obtain accurate readings, the oil level should be checked when the oil flow back to the oil pan after 15 minutes of shutdown. The oil level should be matched with the original oil pan, and the oil level should be kept as close as possible to the high "H" mark.

Warning: Never operate a diesel engine when the oil mark is lower than the low mark “L” or higher than the high mark “H” (if necessary, add the same quality and grade of engine oil).

2. Check cooling system

Keep the coolant filled to the working level, check the coolant level every day or every time before turning on, analyze the cause of the coolant consumption, and check the coolant level, only after the cooling system is cooled.

3. Check the connections of the intake pipe

Check the joints of the air intake pipe, whether the clamp is loose, whether the hose is cracked, perforated or worn, whether the hose is broken or other damage, tighten the clamp or replace parts as needed to ensure that the air intake system is well sealed and all air passes through the air filter.

4. Appearance inspection

Check for leaks of external air, coolant or oil. Tighten screw connections, joints, etc. or replace gaskets as needed. Check the oil pipe cover of the oil dipstick to see if it is tight.

5. Check for damage

Check the fuel system, including the incorrect adjustment or injury of the fuel pump, and check for leaks or damage at all connections.

6. Check drive belt

inspect whether the fan, water pump, and charger belt is damaged or slack, and replace the damaged buckle with a new one. And adjust the tightness, if necessary, ask a professional technician to adjust.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list.
