TLG-12SPX — MAINTENANCE

General Inspection

Prior to each use, the generating set should be cleaned and inspected for deficiencies. Check for loose, missing or damaged nuts, bolts or other fasteners. Also check for fuel or oil leaks.

Engine Side, Fuel, Oil and Coolant (Refer to the Engine Instruction Manual)

Air Cleaner

Every 50 hours: Remove air cleaner element and clean heavy duty paper element with kerosene, or foam element with liquid detergent and hot water. Wrap foam element in a cloth and squeeze dry. For heavy duty paper element, wipe excess kerosene with towel

Fuel Addition

Add diesel fuel (the grade may vary according to season and locations). Always pour through the mesh filter.

Removing Water from the Tank

After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumulate in the bottom of the tank. Occasionally remove the drain cock and drain the contents. During cold weather, the greater the empty volume inside the tank, the easier it is for water to condense. This can be reduced by always keeping the tank as full as possible.

Air Removal

If air enters the fuel injection system of a diesel engine, starting becomes impossible. After running out of fuel, or after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system according to the following procedure.

To restart after running out of fuel, turn the key switch to the “START” position for 15-30 seconds. Try again, if needed. This unit is equipped with an automatic air bleeding system.

Service Daily

If engine is operating in very dusty and dry grass conditions, a clogged air cleaner will result in high fuel consumption, loss of power and excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber.

Cleaning the Fuel Strainer

Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in diesel. Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not leak. Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or once a month.

Check Oil Level

Check the crankcase oil level prior to each use, or when the fuel tank is filled. Insufficient oil may cause severe damage to the engine. Make sure the generator is level. The oil level must be between the two notches on the dipstick as shown on page 31, Figure 9.

Generator Storage

For storage of the generator for over 30 days, the following is required:

Drain the fuel tank completely.

Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill with fresh oil.

Clean all external parts of the generator with a cloth.

Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.
