Safety precautions and instructions
Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause severe nausea, fainting or death. Engine exhaust gases contains carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is an odourless, colourless, tasteless, no irritating gas that can cause death if inhaled for even a short time. Get fresh air and do not sit, lie down or fall asleep if anyone shows signs of carbon monoxide poisoning:
– Light-headedness, dizziness – Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles. Sleepiness, mental fatigue,
inability to concentrate or speak clearly, blurred vision. Stomachache, vomiting, nausea.
Keep the area around the battery well ventilated. While the engine is running or the battery is charging, hydrogen gas is produced which can be easily ignited. Never allow battery fluid (battery contains sulfuric acid) to come in contact with clothing, skin or eyes. Always wear safety gloves and protective clothing when servicing the battery. If battery fluid contacts the eyes and/or skin, immediately flush the affected area with a large amount of clean water and obtain prompt medical treatment.
Before working on the engine or connected equipment, disable the engine as follows: (1) Disconnect the power input from battery. (2) Disconnect the battery cables. Remove the negative (-) lead first when disconnecting the battery. Reconnect the negative (-) lead last when reconnecting the battery. Follow these precautions to prevent the starting of the engine by engine controller, remote start/stop switch, or engine start command from a remote computer.
Never remove the cooler cap if the engine is hot. Steam and hot engine coolant will spurt out and seriously burn you. Allow the engine to cool down before you attempt to remove the cooler cap.

Operation
Section 4 ­ Operation
4.1. Prestart checklist
Follow these checks and inspections to ensure the correct genset operation. In addition, some checks require verification after unit starts.
AIR CLEANER: Check for a clean and installed air cleaner element to prevent unfiltered air from entering the genset. AIR INLETS: Check for clean and unobstructed air inlets. BATTERY: Check for tight battery connections. COOLANT LEVEL: Check the coolant level according to coolant circuit capacity. DRIVE BELTS: Check the belt condition and tension of the coolant pump and battery charging alternator belt. EXHAUST SYSTEM: Check for exhaust leaks and blockages. Check the silencer and piping condition and check for tight exhaust system connections. Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed. FUEL LEVEL: Check the fuel level and keep the tank(s) full to ensure adequate fuel supply. OIL LEVEL: Maintain the oil level below dipstick high mark and above dipstick low mark. OPERATING AREA: Check for obstructions that could block the flow of admission air. SEAWATER PUMP PRIMING: Prime the seawater pump before initial start-up. To prime the pump:
– Close the seacock. – Remove the hose from the seawater-filter outlet. – Fill the hose and seawater pump with clean water. – Reconnect the hose to the water filter outlet. – Open the seacock.
Confirm seawater pump operation on start-up as indicated by water discharge from the exhaust outlet.
4.2. Genset Operation at Low Temperatures
Whenever the atmospheric temperature drops below zero, the following series of circumstances occur:
The cooling liquids may freeze. The oil becomes thicker. There is a drop in the voltage at the battery terminals. The inlet air temperature is low and the genset has difficulty in starting. The fuel loses fluidity.
To prevent the damage caused by low temperature operation, the genset should be prepared:
1. Use special low temperature coolant or suitable anti-freezing agent concentration. 2. Close the seawater cock, when the genset is stopped. Open the seawater filter cover and start
the genset adding a mixture of freshwater and suitable anti-freezing agent concentration (see package labels) until the seawater circuit is filled completely. Stop the genset and replace the seawater filter cover. Before starting the genset again, open the seawater cock. Repeat this operation whenever the genset is used at temperatures below 0ºC. 3. Use oil with suitable quality and viscosity. SAE 15W40 is recommended. Under extreme conditions contact with technical support.

Operation
4. Cover battery with an adequate material to protect it against the cold. Check that the battery is fully charged. It is also advisable to use a dielectric spray on the electrical connections.
5. When starting the genset, make sure that the glow plugs become hot enough. 6. If necessary, replace the Diesel oil by a specified Diesel oil type for low temperatures. The
accumulation of impurities in the fuel tank could cause faulty firing.
All gensets not in use are subject to rusting and corrosion of machined surfaces that are not protected with a paint coating. The degree of corrosion depends on meteorological changes and climatic conditions. The following recommendations are therefore of a general nature but they will help prevent or reduce the risk of damage due to rusting.
4.3. Winterization and Preservation
If the boat is not going to be used for a long period of time or during the winter, certain tasks must be carried out to keep it in perfect operating condition. If there is no care, the inside parts can oxidize and cause damage on the genset. When the genset is stored, steps indicated below must been follow:
1. Clean the outer surface of the genset. 2. Bleed the seawater circuit by filling it with fresh water. Fill the seawater circuit again with a
mixture of fresh water and anti-freezing agent. 3. Remove the impeller from the seawater pump, clean it with fresh water and store it in place
protected from moisture and sunlight. 4. Renew and refill the heat exchanger to the maximum level with a mixture of fresh water and
anti-freezing agent. 5. Renew the oil and oil filter in the genset. 6. Cover the air intake. 7. If the fuel tank is small, empty it completely and clean it; fill it up again with a mixture of Diesel
and anti-corrosion additive. Solé S.A. recommends DIECYL PLUS. Add one measure of this additive for every 25 litres of Diesel. On the other hand, if the fuel tank is large, add 1 litre of this additive for every 500 litres of Diesel. 8. Clean and dry the area where the genset is installed. 9. Loosen the belts. 10. Apply dielectric spray on the electrical connection, disassemble the battery and charge it several times during the time it is not being used. 11. Apply moisture repellent spray on the motor.

Operation
4.4. Maintenance during the storage
During the long genset storage, it has to be stored inside a ventilated area and free of humidity.
When the genset stay stopped for 3 months or more, inside parts can be oxidize and lost the oil film. As a result, the genset could size up after the storage. To avoid this, the genset must work periodically during the storage.
Realize the following steps at least once per month: 1. In case that has a battery next to the genset, check the electrolyte level and fill it. 2. Start the genset during approximately 10 seconds. 3. Stop the genset for 1 minute. Repeat this action two or three times. 4. Be sure that oil pressure of the genset increase. 5. Get the genset work during 5 or 10 minutes without load, as maintenance operation.
4.5. Restoration of Operational Conditions
When starting up the genset again after winter lay-up, certain operations must be performed. Follow these steps:
1. Fill the fuel tank with clean Diesel. The mixture of Diesel oil and anti- corrosion additive in tank for winter lay-up can be used to operate the genset.
2. Get the genset work during 5 or 10 minutes without load, as maintenance operation. 3. Check the fuel filter. If the filter is clogged, replace the filter. 4. Renew the oil in the genset. 5. Check the condition of coolant circuit’s rubber hoses. 6. Reconnect the battery and apply a layer of neutral Vaseline to the battery terminals. 7. Remove the nozzle supports and clean them. If possible, verify the setting of the nozzles at a
workshop. Then install the clean nozzles. 8. Connect the cooling and exhaust system. Open the seawater cock. 9. 9. Verify whether there are any leaks in the fuel, coolant and oil systems.

Systems and scheduled maintenance
Section 5 ­ Systems and Scheduled Maintenance
5.1. Operating Description
Information of special tools required and basic safety precautions.
Disassembly: Use the correct tools and instruments. Serious injury or damage to the genset can result from using the wrong tools and instruments. Use an overhaul stand or work bench if necessary. Also, use assembly bins to keep the genset parts in order of removal. Lay down disassembled or cleaned parts in the order in which they were removed. This will save you time at reassembly. Pay attention to the marks on assemblies, components and parts for positions or directions. Put on your own marks, if necessary, to aid reassembly. Carefully check each part for faults during removal or cleaning. Signs of abnormal wear will tell if parts or assemblies are functioning improperly. When lifting or carrying heavy parts, get someone to help you if the part is too awkward for one person to handle. Use jacks and chain blocks when necessary.
Reassembly: Wash all genset parts, except oil seals, O-rings, rubber seals, etc. in cleaning solvent and dry them. Use only the correct tools and instruments. Use only good quality lubricating oils and greases. Be sure to apply a coat of oil, grease, or sealant to parts as specified. Use a torque wrench to tighten parts when specified tightening torques is required. Replace all gaskets and packing. Apply appropriate amount of adhesive or liquid gasket when required.
Increase the frequency of maintenance in harsh duty conditions (frequent stops and starts, dusty surrounding, prolonged winter season, no-load running).
Risk of burns during maintenance operations carried out when the genset is hot. Wear suitable safety clothing.
It is strictly forbidden to clean the genset with compressed air. It is strictly forbidden to perform maintenance/cleaning operations in the presence of moving

Maintenance task. Compression pressure inspection
Start by:
1. Make sure the genset oil level, air cleaner, starting motor and battery are well-conditioned.
2. Start the genset and allow it to warm up thoroughly, until 50ºC or more coolant temperature.

Measure the compression pressure on all cylinders:

1. Remove the injection nozzle from the cylinder head where the compression pressure is to be measured.
2. Attach the compression pressure gauge. 3. Disconnect the stop solenoid connector (the fuel supply shut off) and crank the
genset by means of the starter and read the compression pressure gauge indication when the genset is running at specified speed. 4. If the compression pressure is lower than repair limit, check the genset parts affected.

Marine Diesel gensets. Operator’s Manual.

Systems and scheduled maintenance
Fuel specifications
Use ASTM Diesel fuel No.2-D for the best genset performance, to prevent genset damage. Never use kerosene, heavy Diesel fuel or bioDiesel. It is essential to use clean and filtered Diesel oil.
The use of Diesel oil that not complies with the technical specifications may affect warranty coverage and cause serious damage in the injection system and internal genset components.

Maintenance task. Fuel level inspection
Periodically, it is necessary to check the fuel level to assure the operation of the genset. On top of that, if fuel pump sucks air when the fuel level is lower than pump suction, it could break.
Whenever possible, keep the fuel tank full. The temperature changes may cause condensation of the damp air present in the tank and this water accumulates at the bottom. It can cause an increase of corrosion or an impossibility of starting the genset if this water is aspired by the fuel pump.
Maintenance task. Fuel tank clean
The fuel impurities could obstruct the suction pump. For this reason, drain out the content of the fuel tank to remove condensate and any foreign material. Then, wash the tank with fuel and refill it.
Maintenance task. Water separator filter purge
The fuel system has to have a water separator filter (supplied as accessory) to avoid the inlet of water in the fuel circuit. According to the maintenance plan it is necessary to purge the filter to eliminate water periodically. This is the procedure:
1. Loosen the bottom nut to eliminate water. 2. Shut it off again. 3. Check for any leakage.
Maintenance task. Fuel filter change
Procedure to change the fuel filter: 1. Close the fuel supply valve. 2. Disconnect fuel pipes from the fuel filter. 3. Remove fuel filter with a bell key. 4. Place a new fuel filter. 5. Reconnect fuel pipes from the fuel filter. 6. Open the fuel supply valve. 7. Once finished with this operation, start the genset and check for oil leaks.
Wash hands after any contact with Diesel fuel.

Systems and scheduled maintenance

Maintenance task. Injection pump inspection

The injection pump is adjusted at factory and should never be adjusted carelessly. Such adjustment, whenever is required, shall be made by a Solé Diesel licensed service shop, since a precision pump monitor and skill knowledge are required.
You must check: – The presence of exhaust smoke colour. – Procedure: quickly accelerate genset.
Criteria: no remarkably black smoke exhaust, and correct function of fuel cut- off solenoid – Any leaks at the body injection pump or fuel lines
Maintenance task. Injector inspection

To check the injection pressure of injectors (opening pressure) you have to follow these steps: 1. Remove nozzle and washer. 2. Install the injection nozzle on the tester. Slowly
operate the tester handle full strokes to bleed (remove) air from the pipe and nozzle. 3. Make a slow increase in pressure by operating the tester handle at a speed of more than one stroke per second while observing the pressure gauge. 4. The pressure gauge reading will slowly increase and, when the nozzle starts discharging fuel, it will go down fast. Take the gauge reading right then as the injection pressure.

Injection pressure

13 MPa (140 kgf/cm2)

5. To adjust the injection pressure, increase or decrease the amount of shims fitted to the nozzle holder.
6. Look at the orifice discharge pattern (shape of discharge) when fluid begins to flow through the injection nozzle. The discharge must be finely and uniformly atomized. Any change is an indication of a bad nozzle.

7. If the nozzle is bad, remove the tip from the nozzle and wash needle valve and body in clean washing solution. And if the nozzle is still bad after the tip has been washed, replace the tip.
8. When installing the new tip, remove synthetic resin film from the tip and slide the needle valve in the body in clean Diesel fuel to wash off inhibitor completely
9. The washer shown on figure must be replaced.
When testing the injection nozzle, keep its tip pointed away from the operator. Fuel from the orifices in the tip of the nozzle is under high pressure and can cause injury to the operator.

Systems and scheduled maintenance
Maintenance task. battery level
Battery requires a very careful handling and frequent checking. Proceed as shown below:
1. Keep battery dry and cleaned. 2. Check terminal cleanliness regularly. If dust is settled, terminals should be loosened, cleaned
and smeared with a neutral grease layer. 3. Metal objects must not be placed over the battery. 4. Add distilled water if the level is out of range.
5.9. Alternator
The maintenance and fault diagnostic procedures involve risks that may cause severe injury or even death. These procedures should therefore be carried out solely by qualified electrical and mechanical specialists. Before any maintenance and cleaning work make sure that there are no live parts that the generator housing has cooled to ambient temperature, that the genset cannot be accidentally started up and that all procedures are strictly observed.
Maintenance task. control of windings and electrical insulation
The condition of the windings can be checked by measuring their electrical resistance to earth. While running this test, disconnect the voltage regulator. It is usually sufficient to control the main winding.
The readings should give a measurement of the least 1MOhms. If the insulation resistance is below this threshold, the alternator alone should be oven dried at 60 ­ 80ºC for 3 hours. Before carrying out this operation remove the voltage regulator. As an alternative to oven drying hot air at 60 ­ 80ºC can be blown through the alternator for at least 1 hour.
Maintenance task. Control of bearings
During maintenance control the condition of the bearing and check that no grease has leaked: the lifespan of the bearings depends on the vibrations and axial strains they undergo (vibrations can increase considerably with a bad alignment) and on the working conditions. So check for any unusual signs: vibrations, unusual noises.
If undue vibrations or noises appear after long-term usage, these could be due to a worn bearing that, if damaged, has to be replaced. No maintenance is required for the total operating time:
Operating time 20.000 hours
A bearing lifespan is closely linked to the working conditions and environment.
Long periods of sustained vibrations can damage the bearing balls and their seat. Too high humidity can emulsify the grease and encourage corrosion.

Marine Diesel gensets. Operator’s Manual.

Systems and scheduled maintenance
Intense vibrations caused by the motor or bad alignment of the components in the genset put the bearing under stresses that will reduce its lifespan.
Maintenance task. Cleaning and lubrication
Any kind of cleaning work must be carried out with the genset shutdown and the mains power shut off for the risk of severe hazard for persons and objects. Moreover, prior to approaching or touching the alternator, ensure that it is at room temperature.
Make sure that the genset is shutdown and the mains power is shut off before cleaning the outside of the genset with compressed air.
Never and for no reason whatsoever use fluids or water. Do not use compressed air to clean internal electrical parts since this could cause short circuits or related problems.

Start the engine
The speed ECU setting is factory set at approximately engine nominal speed. If the engine does not start, adjustment of the Speed potentiometer may be required.
Crank the engine with DC power applied to the governor system. The actuator will energize to the maximum fuel position until the engine starts. The governor system should control the engine at a low idle speed.
Governor speed setting: The governed speed set point is increased by clockwise rotation of the SPEED adjustment control. Remote speed adjustment can be obtained with an optional 5K Speed Trim Control. .

To do the stability adjustment, do the follow steps with the engine running:
· Turn the GAIN potentiometer clockwise until the engine becomes unstable. Then, turn it slowly counterclockwise until it stabilizes. Turn it about 1/8 more turn counterclockwise to ensure stability.
· Turn the STABILITY knob clockwise until the engine becomes unstable. Then, turn it slowly counterclockwise until it stabilizes again. Turn it about 1/8 more turn counterclockwise to ensure stability.
· Apply load to the engine and if any instability is observed, try to correct it by turning the GAIN and STABILITY potentiometers slightly counterclockwise.

8.5. Parallel operation troubleshooting
To do the following checks, it is necessary to have the engine running.
Magnetic speed sensor
To verify the pickup operation, it is necessary to check the output voltage with the genset running (the engine doesn’t crank but the flywheel rotates).

$

Disconnect the wires and measure the voltage (AC) between wires. The voltage value should be 1V. If the voltage value is around 1 V ­ 3 V, it is correct, and the pickup works correctly. If the value is less than 1 V:
· Check the distance between sensor and flywheel teeth. · Wrong wires. Check the impedance between terminals C and D of the ECU. This should be 30
to 1200 ohms. · Replace the sensor.
Electronic control unit and governor (ECU)

To verify the ECU operation, it is necessary to check the output voltage with the genset running. 1. Check the voltage between following PINS:
