Operation Guidelines for Cummins Diesel Generators

Cummins generators must be operated by designated personnel. Before operation, the operators must carefully read the relevant operation manuals and these regulations. In case of any abnormal situations found during the operation inspection, immediate measures should be taken to resolve them. For problems that cannot be handled, the diesel generator manufacturer should be promptly contacted for after - sales service. The managers who operate the generators should have basic electrical knowledge, and the electricians operating the generators should master the performance of both the generator and the diesel engine. Other personnel are prohibited from operating the generator. When the generator is in use, it should be attended by a dedicated person.

Pre - operation Inspection and Preparation for Cummins Diesel Generators

Before manually starting the generator or setting the unit to automatic start, the following work should be done:

Check all parameters on the control panel.

Inspect the grounding of the generator set.

Check the engine oil level. The oil level should be between the high and low marks on the dipstick.

The water level in the radiator tank should meet the requirements. If the water level in the tank is low, add cooling water.

Conduct a ventilation and heat - dissipation check. Ensure that the air intake and exhaust in the machine room are unobstructed, and the air intake and exhaust volume meet the cooling requirements of the unit.

Inspect the exhaust pipe. Make sure the bellows are not bent or deformed, the exhaust pipe has no leakage, and the exhaust is unobstructed.

Check the fuel pipeline and the fuel tank. The fuel filling valve should be closed, the fuel pipeline should be unobstructed, and the fuel tank level should be within the specified range.

Inspect the battery. The voltage of the Dingbo Power battery should meet the starting requirements of the unit, not less than 24V, and the charger should be working properly.

Check that all connected pipe fittings are tightly fastened without leakage; also, check whether the protective covers of transmission components such as drive belts and fans are properly installed.

Only when you use the diesel generator set correctly as required during the generator operation can you maximize the benefits of the purchased generator set and enjoy the contributions made by the Cummins generator set.

Automatic Mode

1.Keep the battery pack of the starting motor at the starting voltage.

2.Keep the cooling water level in the radiator normal, and the circulating water valve should be kept open.

3.Keep the crankcase oil level within 2 cm of the mark on the dipstick.

4.Keep the fuel tank at least half - full, and the fuel supply valve should be kept open.

5.Set the run - stop - auto switch on the generator control panel to the "auto" position.

6.Set the mode switch on the unit distribution panel to the "auto" position.

7.Set the radiator fan switch to the "auto" position.

8.When the unit receives the signal of mains power loss, it will start. Confirm the mains power loss, switch off the mains switch of the transfer cabinet, switch on the generator switch of the transfer cabinet, and start the air intake and exhaust fans in the machine room.

Post - operation Inspection of Cummins Diesel Generators

Check that all parameters on the control panel, such as voltage, current, frequency, speed, and oil pressure, are normal.

Check the operating conditions of the generator set, including noise, vibration, and ensure that the fuel supply pipeline and the coolant pipeline are unobstructed and have no leakage.

When using the Cummins diesel generator set, we need to work carefully. Once any abnormal phenomena are found, we should take them seriously and carefully find out the reasons to ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator set. During the pre - start inspection of the diesel generator set, irrelevant personnel must stay away from the generator to avoid personal injury accidents.
