OPERATION

PRE-START INSPECTION

Before starting the generator for the first time, the following inspection checks are recommended:

1.A visual inspection should be made for any loose parts, bad connections, or foreign materials.

2.Bar the set over by hand for at least 2 revolutions to be sure that there is no interference and that the set turns freely. If the set does not turn freely, check for clearance in the generator and exciter air gap.

3.Check all wiring against the proper connection diagrams, and ensure that all connections and terminations are tight and properly insulated.

WARNING

MAGNAPLUS GENERATORS MAY HAVE VOLTAGE PRESENT AT THE LEAD TERMINALS WHEN THE

SHAFT IS ROTATING. DO NOT PERMIT OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR UNTIL ALL LEADS HAVE BEEN CONNECTED AND INSULATED. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

4.Verify that all equipment is properly grounded (earthed).

5.Clear the surrounding area of any materials that could be drawn into the generator.

6.Check all fasteners for tightness.

7.Check all access plates, covers, screens and guards. If they have been removed for assembly or inspection, reinstall and check for security.

8.Review all prime mover prestart-up instructions, and ensure that all recommended steps and procedures have been followed.

9.Remove any masking materials affixed during painting. Inspect the generator, prime mover, and any accessory equipment to ensure that nameplates, and all safety warning / caution signs and decals provided with the equipment are in place and clearly visible.

Note: It is strongly recommended that the authority having jurisdiction over the installation site be consulted to determine if any additional warning or caution notices, or additional safety devices are required by local codes / standards. Any such required notices or devices should be installed prior to initial startup.

START-UP

The following procedure should be followed when starting the generator set for the first time.

1.The generator output must be disconnected from the load. Be sure that the main circuit breaker or fused disconnect is in the open position.

2.Open the input power to the automatic voltage regulator. Remove the fuse or disconnect and insulate one of the regulator input power leads. (See separate regulator manual)

3.Verify that all prime mover start-up procedures have been followed.

4.If the unit is provided with space heaters, ensure that they are de-energized. In some installations, a set of auxiliary contacts on the main circuit breaker or transfer switch will automatically open the space heater circuit when the generator is connected to the load.

5.Start the prime mover, and adjust it for proper speed. See generator nameplate.
