Installation Instructions<br />

2. Open the venting screw at the pipe socket of the internal<br />

cooling water pump until bubble-free coolant escapes.<br />

Close the vent screw.<br />

(not existent at all models)<br />

Check the water level in the expansion tank during the venting.<br />

Fill up if necessary.<br />

Never open the vent screw while the generator is running because water<br />

may be sucked into the cooling water circuit.<br />

3. Open venting screw at the thermostat housing. Close the<br />

vent screw when air free water comes out.<br />

Check the water level in the expansion tank during the venting.<br />

Fill up if necessary.<br />

4. Start the generator<br />

After filling the generator must be started. During this first phase of start-up, the generator may not be loaded.<br />

Switch off the generator after approx. 10 seconds of operation!<br />

5. Repeat the steps 1-4 till no more air comes out of the venting screw at the thermostat housing.<br />

Close the venting screws.<br />

Fill up the expansion tank up to max. marking.<br />

Close the expansion tank.<br />

6. Re-ventilating process 10 operating hours after the first start-up (and if necessary).<br />

Also after the first initial operation a small amount of air may reside in the cooling circuit. To ensure an imaculate und<br />

actual operation of the cooling system the ventilating process must be repeated casual in the next few days (weeks,<br />

if necessary). Small amount of air will still exit out of the ventilating openings, especially if the generator stood still for<br />

a long time.<br />

During the ventilating process repeated checks must be made<br />

to check the cooling water is indeed circulating. If there are air<br />

bubbles in the internal cooling water pump, it is possible that<br />

the cooling water is not circulating. The generator will heat up<br />

very quickly and switch off, because of overheating.<br />

ATTENTION: Check circulation<br />
