Generator Failure
16.1.15 Kapitel/Chapter 8: Generator Failure - Seite/Page 155
MOTOR STOPS BY ITSELF
Cause Solution
Lack of fuel. Check fuel supply system.
Excess heat in cooling system (thermo switch tripped)-
lack of cooling water. Is indicated on the remote control
panel.
Check cooling water system flow: water pump, inlet
water filter, extra heat exchanger coolant flow.
Lack of oil (oil pressure sensor tripped). Check oil-level and if necessary top up.
Check motor's oil-pressure and have repaired by
Kubota-Service if necessary.
SOOTY, BLACK EXHAUST
Cause Solution
Generator is overloaded. Check electrical load and switch off unnecessary load.
Insufficient intake air. Check intake air filter; clean if necessary.
Fuel injector nozzles faulty. Replace injector nozzles.
Valve clearance incorrect. Readjust valve clearance to correct value (refer to
Kubota-manual).
Poor fuel quality. Use better quality diesel (recommended: 2-D Diesel).
Poor combustion. Incorrect AFR (air/fuel ratio) due to motor timing adjust-
ment. Have motor serviced by Kubota.
Low compression pressure. See Kubota motor manual.
GENERATOR MUST BE SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY IF:
Cause Solution
- motor rpm suddenly rises or drops
- unusual noise comes from genset
- exhaust colour suddenly becomes dark
- motor overheats
- oil pressure drops, oil light suddenly flashes
Refer to respective section of manual and if necessary,
have repaired by Kubota-Service, or Panda represen-
tative.
