4.22 Before Starting
Before putting the generator into service, review each item on the
following checklist. Because generators are often run for long periods
of time unattended, it is important to make sure that the unit is set up
properly to reduce possible problems.
Failure to follow the procedures listed may cause injury to personnel or
damage to the generator. Be certain that all persons setting up the
generator are certified or fully trained on the installation of the
generator.
• Check for any damage that might have been caused while towing to
the job site.
• Check to make sure no debris has lodged in vents, near radiator, or
around fan. Check to make sure that the exhaust compartment is
clean and nothing is touching the muffler or exhaust pipes.
• Check that generator is level.
• Chock trailer wheels.
• Check that generator is grounded to a good earthen ground per local
regulations and NEC standards.
• Check engine oil, coolant and fuel levels, and fill as required.
• Determine voltage needs. Set voltage selector switch and make
correct terminal connections.
• Check that all electrical connections were made in compliance with
local regulations and NEC standards.
• Check fan belt and hoses on engine for loose connections or fraying.
Tighten or replace as required.
