WAUKESHA F-817-G SERIES
Severe, possibly fatal, shock may result from contact.
Make sure the generator set is grounded before
operation. Be extremely careful when the unit or
surrounding area is damp or wet.
When servicing any part of the electrical system or
making any connections, make sure main power
switch is OFF. Clean or service generator set only
when engine is shut down.
In case of an accident from electrical shock, shut
down the generator set at once. If it cannot be shut
down, free the victim from the live conductor. Avoid
direct contact with the victim. Use a dry board, dry
rope, or any nonconducting implement to free the
victim. If the victim is unconscious, apply artificial
respiration and get medical help.
Do not operate the generator set with the ammeter
circuit open. Voltage, dangerous to both equipment
and personnel, can be generated in an open
secondary circuit of a current transformer.
If the generator set is stopped by operation of safety
devices, do not attempt to operate it until the cause
has been eliminated.
Whenthe generator set is shut downafter operation,
disconnect all line switches toall external power load
and parallel circuits.
ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT, REPAIR AND SERVICE.
Always stop the engine before cleaning, servicing, or
repairing the engine or driven equipment. Place all
controls in OFF position to prevent accidental
restarting. If possible, lock all controls in the OFF
position and take the key. Put a sign on the
instrument panel warning that the engine is being
serviced. Before restarting, make sure that all tools
and other material are removed from the engine and
equipment.
Proper service and repair is important to the safe,
reliable operation of engines and related equipment.
The procedures recommended by Waukesha in this
manual are effective methods for performing service
and repair operations. Some of these procedures
require the use of specially designed tools. The
special tools should be used when and as
recommended. Anyone who uses a service, repair, or
installation procedure not recommended by
Waukesha must first satisfy themselves thoroughly
that their safety will not be jeopardized by the service
methods they select.
HOUSEKEEPING
Good housekeeping results in a clean, safe work
area. An orderly work area with clean walkways and
neatly arranged tools and equipment is a majorfactor
in accident prevention.
ENGINE FAN BLADES
1. Do not operate the engine with a fan which has
been bent, multilated, modified or in any way
damaged.
2. Do not operate the engine if the fan contacts or
strikes any engine accessory or the radiator
shroud or core.
3. Do not rebalance the fan. Contact the fan
supplier if rebalancing is required.
4. Ensure that all bolts attaching the fan are
securely installed to a torque specified by the
engine or vehicle manufacturer.
5. Install the fan so the word "front" stamped on
the fan faces the radiator.
6. Perform all required maintenance on the
subassembly to which the fan is attached
(waterpump, fan drive, etc.) (See operator/
service manual.)
7. Do not modify or substitute any parts of the
engine without the approval of the Waukesha
Engine Division Service Department. Take
special care not to make modifications which
will increase the operating speed of the fan.
8. Install the fan only if the engine has been
approved for fan installation. Likewise, install a
subassembly to which the fan is attached
(waterpump, fan drive, etc.), only if approved or
specified for use on the engine.
9. If the fan or fan drive contains any plastic or
rubber component, have the fan and drive
inspected by a qualified mechanic after
operation at or exposure to excessively high
temperatures [above 250° F. (120° C.) air
temperature].
10. Replace the fan if indications of excessive
corrosion or erosion appear in the fan.
11. For reversible or adjustable pitch fans, make
sure the blades are correctly locked in the
proper position prior to operation. Also, inspect
the fan prior to operation to ensure that ice and
dirt have not accumulated on the fan to cause
potential unbalance of the fan.
