G. UNIT STORAGE
Certain precautions must be taken if a Mobile Diesel
Generator set is to be stored for a long period of time.
The unit must be stored in a dry location to prevent the
generator winding from drawing moisture. The unit should
also be thoroughly cleaned prior to storage.
For engine storage procedures consult your local Iveco
engine dealer. They have certain procedures that must be
followed in order to prevent engine damage, i.e. cylinder
rust and injector deterioration.
50 CYCLE (HZ) OPERATION
With a couple of minor changes these Mobile Diesel
Generators are capable of producing 50 Hz power. Two
changes must be made:
A. The engine must be reduced to 1500 RPM governed
speed. Consult your local Iveco Service Center for the
proper procedure for reducing the engine speed and
setting up the governor to operate at 1500 RPM.
B. The automatic volt/hertz regulator must also be reset to
operate at 50 HZ instead of the standard 60 HZ. Refer to
the generator manual for proper procedures.
MAINTENANCE
The ultimate aim of a preventive maintenance program is
to maintain the equipment in optimum condition, either in
service or ready for service, for the maximum amount of
time during the useful life of the equipment. The detection
of faults before they develop into major sources of
difficulty will decrease the incidence of repair. To this end,
a regular schedule of cleaning and inspection will go far
toward assuring trouble-free operation. Personnel respon-
sible for maintenance should set up a schedule for
inspection, and cleaning at intervals calculated to keep
the equipment in good condition. In making up a sched-
ule, keep the following in mind:
A. New equipment must be carefully monitored until
extended operation has demonstrated that it is performing
satisfactorily.
B. Old equipment requires more frequent inspection
(and possibly servicing) than similar equipment that has
seen less service.
C. Time spent in cleaning, inspecting and correcting
minor defects before they become major troubles means
time saved in overhaul and repair.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
