Start-up of a power generator
The start-up method described above may vary, depending on the
solutions used to create the electric panels and the system control
and running boards; so you should always comply with the
indications provided by the Fitter of the power generating plants or
the Manufacturer of the machine, even if the panels and control
stations have been created using the same components used for
IVECO MOTORS panels.
In any case, after start-up the engine will automatically revert to the
selected running speed.
It is suggested that the engine be warmed up with a reduced load
before applying the full load (*).
(*) With the exception of the emergency power generators, for
which the operating limits indicated in the commercial
documentation apply and for which the use of a pre-heating
device is required (see following pages).
Stopping the engine from the IVECO MOTORS
control panel
Before stopping the engine it is recommended you run it for a few
minutes at minimum speed with no load; this will allow the
temperature to drop evenly and will avoid harmful thermal shocks.
The shutdown method will depend on the type of equipment
installed.
With “unexcited” stop circuit
- Turn the key switch to position 1A - REST.
With “excited” stop circuit
- Turn the key switch to the STOP position.
In the absence of IVECO MOTORS control panels, always follow
the instructions provided by the Manufacturer of the machine.
Should you intend to re-start the engine:
1. Return the key switch to the rest position 1A, thus resetting all
the on-board panel functions (Required for electronically
controlled engines).
2. Turn the key to position 1C “Start” and release it once the
engine has started, without accelerating.
3.Proceed as described previously.
CAUTION!
The emergency power generator may start up at any time.
During maintenance operations it is therefore essential
that all the safety precautions set down by the
Manufacturer of the generator or the Preparer of the
system in which it is fitted be closely followed.
