Tips to Get Prima Generator Set

The first step in the operation of generator always check and confirm:

1. Conditions and amount of oil-lubricant used must match that specified
2. Fuel (gasoline, diesel, or LPG) must be adequacy and suitability
3. Connection and condition of accu / battery (for which using an electric starter)
4. Condition and adequacy of refrigeration/coolant in the radiator (it usually use type above 5 kVA)
5. Load cables connected to the network/load
6. MCB electric switch/breaker load in off position
7. MCB electric switch/breaker electricity in off position
8. Generator-Turn On Procedure:
   A.For gasoline gensets:
   
   • Position of engine switch is on
   • Position of choke is on
   • Turn on the gas generator and using the setting of gas so that the start condition is stable
   B.For diesel gensets:
   
   • Position the ignition key is on and let it for a moment
   • Check the voltage on a display 12 V or 24 V (depending on the batteries needed)
   • Turn on the generator by turning the ignition key in start position
9. Let the unit turn on without the burden for ± 5-10 minutes so that the rotation will be stable -Position of the switch-MCB/breaker loading is on
10. Generator shut down procedure:
    
    • Position the switch-MCB/breaker load is off
    • Allow for ± 5 minutes even if the spin will be stable and spent disposal gas
    • Position engine switch is off(for the type of gasoline) or setting a key contact in off (for type diesel)

For a longer lifetime of the generator, note the following points:

• Time for preheating. Allow the engine turn on for ± 5-10 first minute after the start, this is necessary for stable rotation.
• Loading. We recommend using 80% of the maximum loading capacity in order to ensure that no over load occurs when there is a mild shock loads -Lubrication. Replace lubricant after 20 hours of the first and each subsequent 100 hours
• Warm-up for treatment. Run generator at least once a week for ± 5-20 minutes to maintain accu condition and lubrication within the engine unit
• Air circulation. Set up the unit at a place with good air circulation or add a exhaust fan to prevent overheating in the generator.
