9039 Mercruiser WASHER, PUMP LEVER

To Disable the Generator From Starting
To prevent injury, BEFORE performing any maintenance, disable the generator set from starting and/or connecting to the load:
Set the control panel to the STOP.
Turn off power to the battery charger (remove battery charger 30A inline fuse).
Disconnect the positive battery cable.Note: The battery charger must be turned off "BEFORE" disconnecting the battery cable to prevent an over- current condition from burning out sensitive control panel components and circuits.Note: Following any maintenance, reverse these steps to insure the unit is returned to standby setup for normal operation.Shutdown and Restart an Operating Generator
If the unit is operating and required checks must be performed:
Ensure that power to the load can be interrupted (warn any equipment users that there will be a temporary power disruption). There may be other procedures that must be done before shutting down a unit, depending on application.
Open the generator Main Line Circuit Breaker (MLCB).
Allow the unit to cool down (running at no-load) for approximately 5 minutes to prevent damage to critical engine components.
Set the control panel to the STOP. There may be safety tag-outs or lockouts required at this point, depending on application.
Perform the necessary maintenance checks or tasks (based on the hourly requirements).
When all checks have been completed and any discrepancies corrected, set the control panel to the STOP.
When the generator is running, and all engine/generator parameters (voltage, frequency, coolant temp, oil pres- sure, etc.) have been verified as correct, close the generator Main Line Circuit Breaker (MLCB). The unit will accept and carry the load.
Make a last visual inspection of the generator set to make sure it is operating properly.Maintenance Tasks
Visually Inspect Unit
Perform a visual inspection of the unit periodically. If problems are found contact your local authorized service dealer. Look for the following:
Any debris, trash, grass or weed growth, which would obstruct the flow of cooling air into and out of the unit ventilation louvers.
Visually inspect hoses and hose connections for signs of leakage. This includes all coolant hoses, fuel hoses, exhaust system connections, intake system connections, etc. Also look at the engine block for signs of fluid leakage.
Visually inspect the engine accessory drive belts for evidence of obvious wear, fraying or deterioration, and obvious looseness. A "squealing" sound heard during starting and running could indicate a loose belt.Check Engine Fluids
The following checks can be performed by a trained authorized operator. Observe all safety precautions outlined in the "Safety" section.Check Engine Oil Level
An authorized operator should check the levels of engine oil and engine coolant monthly (or every 24 hours of operation). The oil level should be maintained between the "FULL" and "ADD" marks on the engine dipstick.To check the engine oil:
Locate the engine oil dipstick.
The most accurate oil level readings are measured when the engine is cold. If the engine was running, wait at least 10 minutes before proceeding.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean, lint free cloth.
Slowly insert the clean dipstick into the tube. Visually confirm that the dipstick is fully seated in the dipstick tube. A visual inspection is required because some dipsticks will require more effort than others to fully seat.
After 10 seconds remove the dipstick.
Look at the oil level on both sides of the dipstick. The lower of the two readings will be the correct oil level measurement.
Add oil (if necessary) to adjust the level. After adding or changing the oil, the engine should run for one minute before checking the oil level. Remember to wait 10 minutes to allow the engine to cool and oil to fully drain into the oil pan.Typical causes of inaccurate oil level readings:
Reading the high level of the dipstick.
Reading the dipstick before the oil fully drains into the oil pan.
Inserting and removing the dipstick too quickly.
The dipstick is not fully seated in the dipstick tube.Check Coolant Level
Note: DO NOT remove the radiator pressure cap while the engine is hot. Serious burns from boiling liquid or steam could result.Note: Add coolant only to the expansion tank when the engine is cool (not at operating temperature).Note: Ethylene glycol base antifreeze is poisonous. Do not use mouth-to-siphon coolant from the radiator, recovery bottle, or any container. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Never store used antifreeze in an open container because animals are attracted to the smell and the taste of antifreeze even though it is poisonous.Note: Do not use any chromate base rust inhibitor with propylene glycol base antifreeze. Using any high silicate antifreeze boosters or additives also will cause overheating. The manufacturer also recommends that any soluble oil inhibitor is NOT USED for this equipment.Visually check the coolant expansion tank and make sure that the coolant level is between the "Cold" and "Hot" level markings. To add coolant to the system add it to the expansion tank when the engine is cool (not at operating temperature, not running). Add only a 50/50 mixture of the correct antifreeze and distilled or deionized water to the coolant system.Battery Inspection
Note: Stationary emergency generators installed with automatic transfer switches will crank and start automatically when NORMAL (UTILITY) source voltage is removed or is below an acceptable preset level. To prevent automatic startup and possible injury to personnel, do not connect battery cables until NORMAL source voltage at the transfer switch is correct and the system is ready to be placed into operation.Note: Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture around the battery for several hours after charging. The slightest spark can ignite the gas and cause an explosion. An explosion can shatter the battery and cause blindness or other injury. Any area that houses a storage battery must be properly ventilated. Do not allow smoking, open flame, sparks, or any spark producing tools or equipment near the battery.Note: Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe burns. Do not permit fluid to contact eyes, skin, clothing, painted surfaces, etc. Wear protective goggles, protective clothing, and gloves when handling a battery. If fluid is spilled, flush the affected area immediately
