– With the generator standing level, check the engine oil level and top
up if necessary. The oil level must be near to, but not exceed the
high mark on the engine oil level dipstick.
– Check the coolant level in the expansion tank of the engine cooling
system. The water level must be near to the FULL mark. Add cool-
ant if necessary.
– Drain any water and sediment from the fuel pre-filter. Check the
fuel level and top up if necessary. It is recommended to fill the tank
after the day’s operation to prevent waterdamp in a nearly empty
tank from condensing.
– Check the vacuum indicator of the air filter. If the red part shows
completely, replace the filter element.
– Press the vacuator valve of the air filter to remove dust.
– Check the generator for leakage, tightness of wire terminals, etc.
Correct if necessary.
– Check that fuse F4 is not activated and that the emergency stop is in
the “OUT” position.
– Check that the load is switched off.
QAS28 Yd(S)
– Check that circuit breaker Q1 is switched off.
QAS28 YdS IT

– Put the starter switch in position I. The instrument panel lights light
up, the fuel solenoid is energized and the preheating of the engine
starts. After approximately 10 seconds, the preheat lamp on the en-
gine control module goes out.
– Push down the starter switch into position and release it as soon
as the engine fires. The switch automatically returns to position I.
– Check that the warning lamps on the control and indicator panel are
out.
– Run the engine for approximately 5 minutes to warm up. Check the
engine oil pressure (P9) and the cooling water temperature (P8).
– Check the voltmeter P4 (with voltmeter selector switch S4 in
different positions) and the frequency meter (P5).
QAS28 Yd(S)
– Switch circuit breaker Q1 to off and then to on.
– Switch on the load and check the ammeter P1, P2 and P3, voltmeter
P4 (with voltmeter selector switch S4 in different positions) and fre-
quency meter P5.
QAS28 YdS IT
– Switch on circuit breaker Q1, together with trip coil. If power sup-
ply is done by means of X2, X3 or X4, repectively switch on Q2, Q3
or Q4 as well.
– Switch on the load and check the ammeter P1, P2 and P3, voltmeter
P4 (with voltmeter selector switch S4 in different positions) and fre-
quency meter P5.
Do not keep the switch in its utmost position for
more than 10 seconds (maximum 20 seconds in
extremely cold conditions). Wait two minutes
between each starting attempt.
When the ambient temperature is below 0 °C, start
the engine as follows: put the starter switch in posi-
tion I until the preheat lamp goes out. Put the switch
back into position O and then immediately put it
into position . Release the switch as soon as the
engine fires.
If the engine fails to start and for starting in
extremely cold conditions, consult your local Atlas
Copco dealer.
