3. MAINTENANCE CHECKS
3.1 Service List
Periodic check and service are very important for keeping the engine in good
condition. The chart below indicates what checks to make and when to make
them.
3.2 Checks
3.2.1Check fuel oil
Select proper fuel oil. Only use the light diesel, which is most suitable for the
engine. Keep dust and water out of the fuel. When filling the fuel tank from drums,
make sure that no dust or water is mixed in the fuel. Otherwise the serious fuel
injection pump and nozzle problems will result. Do not overfill. Overfilling is very
dangerous.. Do not fill the tank beyond the top of the red plug inside the fuel tank.

3.2.2 Check engine oil
Always check the engine oil level with the generating set on a level surface
before starting and refill if necessary.
The engine may be damaged if operated with insufficient engine oil, it is also
dangerous to refill too much engine oil as sudden increase in engine speed may be
caused by its combustion.
WARNING
! CAUTION:
The generating set is equipped with low oil protection system. This system will
stops the engine automatically when the oil level falls below the lower level. This
prevents accidents such as bearing seizures, etc.
Select the most applicable engine oil
It is very important to select the applicable engine oil for keep up the performance
and life of the generating set. If inferior engine oil is used, or if your engine oil is
not replaced periodically, the risk of piston seizure, piston ring sticking and
accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, bearing and other moving components
increases significantly. So the generating set life will be shortened.
KIPOR recommends CC/CD oil classified by API. Choose the applicable viscosity
oil according to the local ambient temperature.
3.2.3 Check air cleaner
(1)Screw off the wing nut, remove the air
cleaner cover and take out the element.
! CAUTION
Do not wash the element with detergent.
Replace the element when its output
decrease or a bad exhaust color is noticed.
Never run the generating set without the
element, otherwise the rapid engine wear
will result.
(2)Reattach the air cleaner cover and
screw on the wing nut.
