Guardian Technologies 04164-3 Manual De Usuario

  

35

The remote panels mount a rocker type start/stop 
switch, a “Generator Run” advisory lamp and an 
hourmeter. The hourmeter should be used in con-
junction with the maintenance operations found in 
Part I of this manual.

Model 004057 includes the remote panel and a 10 

foot long, 4 wire harness.

Model 004184 includes the remote panel and a 30 

foot long, 4 wire harness.

The air-cooled generator set was factory tested and 
adjusted. It should not be required to adjust the unit 
any further except under special circumstances.

Before starting, complete the following:

1.  Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if nec-

essary, fill to the dipstick “FULL” mark (cross-
hatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not 
fill above the FULL mark.

2.  Check the fuel supply. Gas fuel lines must have 

been properly purged and leak tested in accor-
dance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff 
valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.

When absolutely certain that the unit has been prop-
erly installed and prepared for use, start the engine 
as follows:

1.  Turn off all electrical loads. Do this by setting the 

generator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” 
(or open) position.

2.  Refer to Part I, section “Starting the Generator”, 

for cranking and starting instructions. The engine 
may require more cranking for initial starting 
since the fuel lines have to be primed (use of the 
primer switch will shorten this time).

3.  Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to 

allow internal temperatures to stabilize.

4.  Carefully inspect the engine/generator for fuel, oil 

and exhaust system leaks. Before proceeding to the 
next step, correct any leakage immediately.

5.  When all tests and adjustments at no-load are 

completed, apply electrical loads and check for 
proper operation under load. See the "Testing 
Under Load" section. Run the unit at least 30 
minutes with loads applied.

6.  Turn off all electrical loads by setting the gener-

ator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or 
OPEN) position.

7.  Let the unit run at no-load for a few minutes to 

stabilize internal engine/-generator temperatures. 
Then, shut down the engine.

NOTE:

The generator set was thoroughly tested and 
adjusted at the factory before shipping. No addi-
tional adjustment should be necessary. Only quali-
fied service technicians who have been trained 
should perform adjustments outlined in this 
manual.

Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 per-
cent of the unit's rated wattage/amperage capacity.

Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load applied. 
During this part of the test, check that the unit is not 
running excessively hot and that adequate cooling 
airflow is available. Do not allow the unit to overheat 
during prolonged operation.

NOTE:

The generator engine is equipped with a high tem-
perature switch. The switch has normally closed 
(N.C.) contacts. When the engine temperature is 
too high, switch contacts close, and the engine 
shuts down automatically.

THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS TESTING 
THE GENERATOR FOR ADEQUATE COOLING.
