SCOPE OF WORK
START-UP SERVICE
The service to be performed during a START-UP is as follows.
PRE-START GENERAL INSPECTION
01. Inspect for any freight damage (components straight, straight, ect.)
02. Verify manuals present
03. Check that generator is secured to pad and hold down bolts are tightened
04. Inspect all belts for ensure proper alignments and tensions
05. Check governor rod movement and clearance.
06. Verify fluid levels (oil, coolant, battery, governor, ect )
07. Visually inspect the vibration damper
08. Check that Rain Cap is in place and functional
09. Verify correct AC and DC wire sizes and connections
10. Verify proper sized battery (ies) in place Connect battery cales
11. Check fuel and exhaust plumbing
12. Verify adequate air flow and ventilation
13. Check block heater, battery charger, etc... Properly matches with utility voltage
14. Verify electrical connections made at battery charger, block heater, etc...
15. Verify remote start wires are pulled and connected to generator and transfer switch
16. Verify communications wires are pulled and properly terminated correctly inside control panel, remote enunciator, and transfer switch
17. Remove fuse from Generator Control Panel, connect starter battery, and re-insert fuse
18. Verify grounding rod installed
19. Close AC circuit breaker to block heater and battery charger
20. Verify block heater is operational - Feel heater hose for heat and listen for activity
21. Verify battery charger is operations and record DC voltage and DC amperage
22. Verify all AC electrical connections are tight at circuit breaker and transfer switch
23. Inspect louvers and mechanical linkages. Ensure properly wired to engine run replay to ensure power is applied when unit starts
24. Check all hoses, clamps, and fittings for leaks or damages
25. Check all electrical connections on the generator, wiring, wire, ties, clamps, and terminal ends
26. Check all electrical plugs ensuring each plug is seated correctly
27. Verify the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is in "OFF" position
PREPARATION FOR GENERATOR START
01. Disable transfer switch to prohibit transfer.
02. Bleed fuel system of air (diesel)
03. Open generator main line circuit breaker
RUNNING CHECKS
01. If gas unit: unplug B+ at the gas solenoid valve. Momentarily apply battery voltage to the solenoid and record the inlet stayic gas pressure at the secondary regulator with manometer. Reconnect wire at gas solenoioid valve.
02. Test over crank circuit. Cause unit to complete full crank/rest cycle and latch out on an “OVER-CRANK" condition. Record number of crank cycles completed
03. While manually holding governor linkage, start engine, bring up to speed slowly and record:
1 Fuel pressure (inches W.C. /PSI) WITHOUT load pressure
2 DC alternator output volts and amps
3 AC output frequency ( HZ ) to correct no-load setting
4 AC output voltages
5 Test ALL automatic shutdowns - low oil pressure, low coolant level, high coolant temperature, and over speed
6 Overspeed set-point
7 Engine coolant temperature (hot running)
8 Engine oil pressure (hot running)
9 Check for coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust leaks and open louvers
Transfer customer load to generator
1. Record full load voltages
2. Record full load amperage
3. Record full frequency
4. If gaseous unit: Record fuel pressure (Inches W.C/PSI)
Brief and train customer on safe operation of generator and factory recommended maintenance procedures
