Walk-Around Inspection
Inspect Engine for Leaks and Loose Connections
Inspect Engine Before Starting
A walk-around inspection is recommended to ensure the installation is clean and leaks are kept to a minimum. This should only take a few minutes and by taking the time to make these checks, costly repairs and accidents can be avoided and the equipment will be ready to run should the need arise. For maximum service life of your engine(s), make a thorough inspection before starting the generator set engine. Look for such items as oil or coolant leaks, loose bolts, worn belts, loose connections and trash build-up. Remove trash build-up and have repairs made as needed.
Accumulated grease and oil on an engine or deck is a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water, Every 2000 Hour interval or each time any significant quantity of fluid is spilled on an engine or deck (platform).
Check the fluid levels more frequently than the recommended maintenance intervals and continue to monitor fluid levels until any leak is found and fixed. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak. If leaking is suspected, check the fluid levels more frequently than the recommended intervals.* Wipe all fittings, caps and plugs before performing maintenance to reduce the chance of system contamination. Inspect:* Cooling system and radiator lines and hoses for cracks and loose clamps.* Water pump for coolant leaks. The water pump seal is lubricated by coolant in the cooling system. It is normal for a small amount of leakage to occur as the engine cools down and parts contract. If leaks are found, check the coolant level frequently and continue to monitor the level until the water pump is repaired. Excessive coolant leakage may indicate the need to replace the water pump seal. For removal and installation of the water pump and/or seals, see the Service Manual for this engine or consult your Caterpillar dealer.* Air intake system hoses, piping and elbows for cracks and loose clamps. Check the condition of all connections and fittings. Inspect:* Lube system for oil leaks, such as front and rear crankshaft seals, oil pan, oil filters and valve covers.* Fuel system for leaks, loose or worn hoses, and loose fuel line clamps and fittings that are properly clamped and tight. Inspect:* Generator/control panel wiring and engine wiring harnesses for loose connections, broken and worn or frayed wires.Check the condition of all readings on the Control Panel. Visually inspect the generator and control panel. Check for loose, broken, or damaged wiring or components. The inspection only takes a few minutes and could avert a potential problem that could cause your generator set to fail.Check for leaks and noises with the generator set running. Check for signs of leaks and any unusual noises. Find the cause of any problem and make necessary repairs.Continue maintenance by reporting/recording any malfunction and make necessary repairs. Make sure the engine is shut down before making any necessary repairs. * ECM to cylinder head ground strap
