ATTENTION! Before working on the System read the section , “Safety Precautions,” on
Page 15.
E.1 General maintenance instructions
E.1.1 Checks before starting
• Oil level
• Cooling system leaks
• Visual check for any changes, leaks oil drain system, v-belt, cable connections, hose clips, air
filter, fuel lines
Once a month
• Grease/oil the servo motor - Trapezoid thread-Spindle
Maintenance invervals see „Genrael informations for PMS-Generators“.
E.1.2 Check of hoses and rubber parts in the sound insulated capsule
Check all hoses and hose connections for good condition. The rubber hoses are very sensitive to
environmental influences. They wear quickly in an environment of dry air, oil and fuel vapours,
and high temperatures. The hoses must be checked regularly for elasticity. There are operating
situations, when hoses must be renewed once a year.
Additionally to usual tasks of maintenance (oil level check, oil filter control etc.) further mainte-
nance activities are to be accomplished for marine generators, such as control of the sacrificial
anode (cooling water connection block) and the front seal cover at the generator.
E.2 Oil change intervals
The first oil change is to be accomplished after a period of operation from 35 to 50 hours. After-
wards the oil is to be changed after 150 hours. For this the oil SAE30 for temperatures over 20°C
and SAE20 for temperatures between 5°C and 20°C is to be used. At temperatures under 5°C oil
of the viscosity SAE10W or 10W-30 is prescribed.
