concentration, providing protection to 32C. Please consult Aggreko if filling is required.

5.8.

ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM

The engine fuel system consists of an internal fuel tank, Racor filters (see Figure 5.2), fine fuel filter,
fuel pump, injection pump and nozzles.
Fuel can be taken from either an external or the internal fuel tank. Fuel is then pumped through the
Racor filters to the fine fuel filters and then passed to the injectors and then to the injection nozzles.
The internal fuel tank has a fuel capacity of 1288 Litres. A fuel level mechanical gauge is also fitted in
the internal tank. The fuel tank fill point is external. There are 4 cleaning ports on the fuel tank that
are all accessible through the container doors.
External fuel supply can be connected to the package using the quick release connections at the
side of the container. Internal supply and return fittings/valves must be re-configured to ensure that
the engine fuel is not drawn from the onboard supply.
The use of ASTM No. 2D fuel is recommended for optimum engine performance. At operating
temperatures below 0C, acceptable performance can be obtained using blends of No. 1 and No. 2D.
The use of lighter fuels can reduce economy. The viscosity of fuels must be kept above 1.3 cSt to
provide adequate lubrication.

The fourth line gives 4 options as shown in figure 3: SETUP, V1, V2, and V3. SETUP is used to enter the
SETUP page; position the cursor beneath SETUP (using the left/right scroll keys) and press SEL. V1, V2
and V3 are different display options. V2 and V3 are fixed (but can be configured in the utility software). V1
is selectable from 15 views using the up/down scroll keys (each view can be separately configured using the
utility software).
In addition to electrical parameters, the GEMPAC unit also displays engine parameters from the Cummins
ECM via the MODBUS connection. These are displayed in views contained within V1. The following engine
parameters are displayed:
-

Speed

Pressure Oil

Temperature Coolant

Fuel Rate

Fuel Rack Position - Left & Right

Temperature Intake Manifold - Left & Right

ALARMS & SHUTDOWNS

When a warning or a shutdown is detected, the DEIF PPU display jumps to the alarm page and the fault is
displayed in clear text. This is shown in Figure 6.4. If one or more alarms have not been acknowledged,
the red LED at the top left-hand corner of the
display flashes. If all alarms have been
acknowledged but one or more are still
present, the red LED will be constantly lit. To
reset alarms, the alarm reset button on the
front panel should be used.
To jump to the alarm page at any time, press
the alarm INFO button. To scroll through the
alarms use the up/down scroll keys. It is
possible to jump directly to the first or last
alarm and to acknowledge an alarm by using
the left/right scroll keys and the select button.

Figure 6.4 Typical Alarm Page

Depending upon the fault condition detected, the GEMPAC unit will carry out one of 6 fail classes, and these
are listed below.
Fail Class 0 Warning
Fail Class 1 Engine Stop
Fail Class 2 Emergency Stop
Fail Class 3 Shutdown
Fail Class 4 Emergency Shutdown
Fail Class 5 Electrical Fault

Cummins ECM generated fault codes

When the ECM detects a fault, one of two messages is displayed on the GEMPAC display:
-

Cummins Warning

Cummins Shutdown

ECM warning is classed as fail class 0 and will be displayed and logged by the GEMPAC unit. ECM
Shutdown is classed as fail class 2 and the generator set will shutdown. Note that this is in addition to any
action that the ECM will take, e.g. reduce the maximum power available or shut the engine down. For
action that the ECM will take, refer to the Cummins technical documentation on ECM fault codes. Once an
ECM alarm has been detected, it is possible to display the fault code and associated text.
To display the list of fault codes within the ECM, press and hold the INFO button for a minimum
of 2 seconds. Current ECM fault codes will then be displayed. Only the active (fault condition still
present) will be displayed.
The GEMPAC unit can display the following ECM fault codes.

MAINTENANCE
7.1.

GENERAL
In addition to periodic inspections, many of the components in these units require periodic servicing
to provide maximum output and performance. Servicing may consist of pre-operation and postoperation procedures to be performed by the operating or maintenance personnel. The primary
function of preventive maintenance is to prevent failure, and consequently, the need for repair.
Preventive maintenance is the easiest and the least expensive type of maintenance. Maintaining
your unit and keeping it clean at all times will facilitate servicing.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately trained, competent and have read the
Maintenance Manuals.
Prior to attempting any maintenance work, be aware of the following:

Any unauthorized modification or failure to maintain this equipment may make it unsafe and out
of factory warranty.

Use extreme care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold and piping, etc.).

Never operate this machine with any guards removed.

Imperial and Metric hardware was used in the design and assembly of this unit. Consult the parts
manual for clarification of usage.

The machine cannot be started accidentally or otherwise, by posting warning signs and/or fitting
appropriate antistart devices.

All residual electrical power sources (mains and battery) are isolated.

Prior to opening or removing panels or covers to work inside a machine, ensure that:

Anyone entering the machine is aware of the reduced level of protection and the additional
hazards, including hot surfaces and intermittently moving parts.

The machine cannot be started accidentally or otherwise, by posting warning signs and/or fitting
appropriate antistart devices.

Prior to attempting any maintenance work on a running machine, ensure that:

The work carried out is limited to only those tasks which require the machine to run.

The work carried out with safety protection devices disabled or removed is limited to only those
tasks which require the machine to be running with safety protection devices disabled or
removed.

All hazards present are known (e.g. pressurised components, electrically live components,
removed panels, covers and guards, extreme temperatures, inflow and outflow of air,
intermittently moving parts, safety valve discharge etc.).

Appropriate personal protective equipment is worn.

Loose clothing, jewellery, long hair etc. is made safe.

Warning signs indicating that Maintenance Work is in Progress are posted in a position that can
be clearly seen.

Upon completion of maintenance tasks and prior to returning the machine into service, ensure that:

The machine is suitably tested.

All guards and safety protection devices are refitted.

All panels are replaced, container and doors closed.

Hazardous materials are effectively contained and disposed of.

To assist with ordering spare parts and other service activities, a short form list of Component
Manufacturers data has been included in this manual.
Prior to engine starting, check the oil and coolant levels.
Carry out a visual check of the following:

Leaks.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL:

1) Stop the engine and wait 5 minutes to allow the oil to drain to the oil pan.
2) Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
3) Replenish if necessary using a recommended grade of engine oil (see section 8).
CAUTION: Never operate the engine with the oil level below the L mark or above the H
mark. See FIG. 7.1 below.

Figure 7.1 - Engine Oil Level Check

7.3.2.

CHECK THE FUEL TANK LEVEL.

Check the fuel level gauge on the control panel.
Replenish as necessary using clean, good quality, diesel/Derv/Gas Oil that conforms to ISO or
equivalent. Always ensure that the filler cap is replaced after replenishment.

7.3.3.

CHECK THAT ALL METERS AND GAUGES FUNCTION CORRECTLY.

Start the generator and inspect the following items:

7.3.4.

Oil pressure gauge is between 60 & 70psi.

After 5 minutes check that the cooling water temperature gauge reads between 85 & 95C.

The voltage and frequency gauges are within specification.

Fuel gauge indicates the tank is not empty.

Engine hours display increases after 10 minutes.

The DEIF Interface has no alarm indicators on.

CHECK THE AIR FILTER.

NOTE: In dusty conditions clean the primary filters regularly.
Check the air filter restriction indicator next to the air filter above the engine. If this has changed to
the restricted position, then the filter will need replaced.

CHECK THE BATTERY.

Check that the battery connections are properly installed and that the electrolyte level in each cell
covers the top plates. If necessary, top up with clean distilled water.

7.3.6.

CHECK FOR LEAKS.

There are several fluids used inside the generator, e.g. diesel, oil, coolant. Look for signs of leakage
all around the engine.
Any source of leak should be checked and fixed. Clean up any fluid lying inside the generator and
dispose of according to the appropriate local regulations.
Recurring leaks should be reported to AGGREKO.

7.4.
7.4.1.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

CHECK THE WATER/ANTIFREEZE LEVEL.

Stop the engine and wait for the temperature to cool before checking the coolant level.
Remove the pressure cap slowly to relieve the pressure of the cooling system. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury from heated coolant spray (See Figure 7.2).

Check the coolant level. Replenish with the correct coolant fluid as necessary (see section 8).
Figure 7.2 - Coolant Level Check

7.4.2.

CARRY OUT A VISUAL CHECK OF THE DRIVE BELTS.

The cooling pump, alternator and radiator fan are driven by a single belt arrangement from the
engine pulley. Check the belts for signs of wear. Check the belt tension.
NOTE: Do not remove guards.

LUBRICATION
8.1.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Lubrication is an essential part of preventive maintenance, affecting to a great extent the useful life of
the unit. Different lubricants are needed and some components in the unit require more frequent
lubrication than others. Therefore, it is important that the instructions regarding types of lubricants
and the frequency of their application be explicitly followed. Periodic lubrication of the moving parts
reduces to a minimum the possibility of mechanical failures.
The Preventive Maintenance Schedule shows those items requiring regular service and the interval
in which they should be performed. A regular service program should be developed to include all
items and fluids. These intervals are based on average operating conditions. In the event of
extremely severe (hot, cold, dusty or wet) operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than
specified may be necessary. Details concerning lubrication of the running gear are in Maintenance
Section.

8.2.

GENERATOR OIL CHANGE

These units are normally furnished with an initial supply of oil sufficient to allow operation of the unit
for approximately 3 months or 400 hours, although this should be in line with the current service best
practise. The unit will however need to be topped up with oil during this period. If a unit has been
completely drained of all oil, it must be refilled with new oil before it is placed in operation. Refer to
specifications in Lubrication Table.
NOTICE: Some oil types are incompatible when mixed and result in the formation of varnishes,
shellacs, or lacquers that may be insoluble. Such deposits can cause serious problems including
clogging of the filters. Where possible, do NOT mix oils of different types and avoid mixing different
brands. A type or brand change is best made at the time of a complete oil drain and refill.
If the unit has been operated for the time/ hours mentioned above, it should be completely drained of
oil. If the unit has been operated under adverse conditions, or after long periods in storage, an earlier
change period may be necessary as oil deteriorates with time as well as by operating conditions.
An oil change is good insurance against the accumulation of dirt, sludge, or oxidized oil products.
Completely drain the reservoir, piping, and Purafiner system. If the oil is drained immediately after
the unit has been run for some time, most of the sediment will be in suspension and, therefore, will
drain more readily. However, the fluid will be hot and care must be taken to avoid contact with the
skin or eyes.
After the unit has been completely drained of all old fluid, close the drain valve. Add oil in the
specified quantity at the filler plug. Tighten the filler plug and run the machine to circulate the oil.
Check the oil level when unit is warm and not running. If not near the middle of the dipstick, stop the
unit and make corrections. DO NOT OVERFILL.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
9.1.

INTRODUCTION
Trouble shooting for a generator set is an organized study of a particular problem or series of
problems and a planned method of procedure for investigation and correction. The trouble-shooting
chart that follows in Section 9.3 includes some of the problems that an operator may encounter
during the operation of a generator set.
The chart does not attempt to list all of the troubles that may occur, nor does it attempt to give all of
the answers for correction of the problems. The chart does give those problems that are most
probable to occur. To use the trouble shooting chart:
1) Find the problem being experienced in the Symptom column on the far left.
2) Proceed to work through the possible causes in the next column, instigating the appropriate
corrective action where required from the next column.

9.2.

ACTION PLAN
A. Think Before Acting: Study the problem thoroughly and ask yourself these questions:
1) What were the warning signals that preceded the trouble?
2) Has a similar trouble occurred before?
3) What previous maintenance work has been done?
If the generator will still operate, is it safe to continue operating it to make further checks?
B. Do The Simplest Things First: Most problems are simple and easily corrected. Always check
the easiest and most obvious things first, following this simple rule will save time and trouble.
Note: For trouble shooting electrical problems, refer to the Wiring Diagram Schematic found
in Appendix E.
C. Double Check Before Disassembly: The source of most generator troubles can be traced not
to one component alone, but to the relationship of one component with another. Too often, a
generator can be partially disassembled in search of the cause of a certain trouble and all
evidence is destroyed during disassembly. Check again to be sure an easy solution to the
problem has not been overlooked.
D. Find And Correct Basic Cause: After a mechanical failure has been corrected, be sure to locate
and correct the cause of the trouble so the same failure will not be repeated. A complaint of
"premature breakdown" may be corrected by repairing any improper wiring connections, but
something caused the defective wiring. The cause may be excessive vibration.

HEALTH & SAFETY

LEAD ACID BATTERIES
####################################
The handling and proper use of lead-acid batteries is not hazardous provided sensible precautions are observed and
that Operatives having been trained in their use are adequately supervised.
The purpose of this letter is threefold:[ i] to indicate potential hazards that may arise.
[ ii] to outline the precautions to be taken to minimise such hazards.
[iii] to indicate action to be taken in the event of an accident.
[S.G. 1.260 - 1.300]
1. SULPHURIC ACID
Batteries contain sulphuric acid which may leak for a variety of reasons and may be given off as droplets and/or
spray during recharging.
[The Hazards]
Sulphuric Acid is a poisonous and corrosive clear liquid which can burn/irritate skin and eyes and could burn clothing.
[Precautions]
Always handle batteries with care
Always store upright
Never over-fill with acid
Always charge in a well ventilated area. Maximum voltage 15v per each 12v Battery.
Use eye protection and protective clothing if there is any risk of acid splashing.
