Before starting the diesel generator, a series of measures must be taken to determine the actual technical status of the device. In the work list, the following tasks must be completed:
- Check whether the charging condition and wiring of the battery are correct, and consider the polarity at the same time.
- Open the feeler gauge on the crankcase of the internal combustion engine, check the existing oil level, and fill up to the required amount if necessary.
- After filling oil, the system pressure must be increased by pressing in a resolver that reduces the pressure in the combustion chamber and simplifies the rotation of the crankshaft, and then starts the starter several times until the low oil level signal indicator light goes out.
- If there is a liquid cooling system, check the level of antifreeze or water.
- Before starting the diesel power station, check whether there is fuel in the fuel tank. At this time, pay attention to the salt used, and use winter or Arctic fuel at low ambient temperatures.
- After the fuel cock is opened, air is removed from the system. To this end, loosen the fuel pump nut 1-2 turns, and when opening the resolver, roll the starter until a stable fuel flow without air bubbles appears. Only after these operations are completed can the equipment be considered ready and allow the diesel power station to start.
