3.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.2.1 Summarised operating instructions (daily
use)
Routine "pre-start" checks:
1 Check oil level (refer to figure 9).
2 Engine cooling system (all valves open).
3 Power source selector switch (off/shore
power/generator power). Switch power source switch
to "OFF", or switch off all consumers in the usual way.
If a Mass SystemSwitch is installed, this operates

Stopping generator:
1 Switch off all electrical devices (consumers). If the
generating set has been running under full load for a
longer period, do not shut it down abruptly. Reduce
the electrical load to about 30% of the rated load (i.e.
30% of 3 kW is approx. 1000W) and let it run for
approx. 5 minutes.
