Be sure they are in good working order. You can determine what is the “normal” operating range by observing the gauges over a period of time. Noticeable changes in gauge readings indicate potential gauge or engine problems. This also applies 4o gauge readings that have changed significantly, but are sill within specifications. The canse of any sudden or significant change in gauge readings should be determined and corrected. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for assistance as needed. Oil Pressure - Indicates engine oil pressure. The oil pressure should be greatest after starting a cold engine. it pressure should read between 240 and 480 kPa (35 and 70 psi) when: the engine is running at rated engine speed with SAE 10W30 oil, and at operating temperature. A lower pressure is normal at low idling speed. NOTICE Engine damage can result if the engine is operated with no oil pressure gauge reading. If no pressure is indicated, stop the engine. Jack Water Temperature - Indicates engine coolant temperature. It should normally indicate between 77°C (170°) and 98°C (209°F), Higher temperatures may occur under certain conditions. Maximum allowable temperature is 99°C (210°F) with the cooling system pressurized. Ammeter - Indicates the amount of charge or discharge in the battery charging circuit, Normal operation of the indicator should be slightly to the positive (right) side of "0" (zero). ‘Check the charging system for malfunction if, during operation, the indicator is constantly 10 the negative {loft side of "0" (Zero) or shows excessive charge. ‘Tachometer - Indicutes engine rpm (speed). The engine can be operated at high idie without damage, but should not be allowed to overspeed. Overspeeding can seriously damage your engine, hups:/sis.cat.com/sisweb/siswebstechdocitechdoc_print_page jsp?retumurl=/sisweb/siswe.,.. 26/6/20073306B Marine Auxiliary & Generator Set Engine [RS00001-UP(SEBP2519 - 31) - Docu...

The indicator should register in the NORMAL (green) range. IF the indicator moves to the OUT position or registers below 160 kPa (23 psi) when equipped with a ‘numerical gauge, the engine will aot operate properly. In mast cases this is caused by a plugged fuel filter.

The baiteries must be charged ‘o the proper voltage with a battery charger. For complete information on testing and charging, refer to SEHS7633, the Battery Test Procedure. The Special Instruction is available from your Caterpillar dealer. Engines installed without engine-to-frame ground straps can be damaged by electrical discharge. In order to prevent electrical discharge damage, make snre the engine's electrical system has an engine-to- frame ground steap. For engines which have the altemator connected to an engine component, the ground strap must connect that ‘component tothe: frame Some engines have starter-to-frame ground straps. Many of these starters have electrical insulation systems and are not electrically grounded to the engine. For this reason, the starter-to-frame ground strap may not be an acceptable engine ground, IE the engine is not electrically connected directly to the rails through mounting bolts, instal a separate ground strap. Refer to the Electrical Schematic for your engine, or consult with your Caterpillar dealer. Your engine has a 24 volt staring system. Use only the same voltage for boost starting. Use of a welder or higher voltage will damage the electrical system and is not recommended. Refer to the following instructions to properly jump start the engine. NOTICE ‘When using an external electrical source to start your engine: turn the START switch off, remove the key, and turn off all electrical accessories before attaching cables. ‘When using jumper cables always connect the POSITIVE (+) cable to the POSITIVE (4) terminal of the battery connected to the starter solencid. Connect the NEGATIVE (-) cable from the external source to the starter NEGATIVE (-) terminal. If not equipped with a starter NEGATIVE terminal, connect to the engine block. Do not reverse the battery cables. The alternator can be damaged. Attach the ground cable last and remove first. 1, Connect one end of the cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery being started, Connect the other end to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the power source 2. Connect one end of the other cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the power source. Connect the other end to the starter NEGATIVE (.) terminal of to the engine block. This prevents potential sparks from igniting combustible gases produced by some batteries. 3, Start the engine. A.

After normal oit pressure is reached and the temperature gauge begins to move, the engine may be ‘operated at full load If the load varies, oris cyclic, the governor will adjust the engine speed as required. Extended operation at low idle or recuced load may cause increased oil consumption and carbon build-up in the cylinders, This carbon build-up results in loss of power and/or poor performance, When operating at reduced load, the engine should be fully loaded to burn excess carbon from the cylinders at least every four hours. Check the gauges aad equipment frequently while operating under load. Engine Operation Proper operation and maintenance are key factors in obtaining the taximum life and economy of the engine, Following the directions in this manual will lower operating costs ‘The time necded for the engine to reach the nomial mode of operation is usually less than the time taken for ‘a walk-around-inspection of the engine. After the engine is started aac the warm up operation is compteted, the engine can be operated at rated speed and low power. The engine will teach normal operating temperature faster when operated at rated speed and Jow power demand than when idled at no load. Typically the engine should be up to operating temperature in a few minutes ‘Gauges readings should be observed and the data recorded frequently while the engine is operating, ‘Comparing the data over time will help determine normal readings for each gauge, and help detect abnormal ‘operating developments. Significant changes in the readings should be investigated. Con: ‘The efficiency of your engine can affect the fuel economy. Caterpillars state-of-the-art design and manufacturing technology provides maximum fuel efficiency in all applications. Follow the recommended operating and maintenance procedures to attain optimum performance for the life of your engine. * Avoid fuel spillage. Fuet expands when warmed, and may overflow from a too-full fuel tank. Inspect fuel lines for leaks, and repair immediately, * Be aware of the heat values of different fuels. Use only recommended fuels. * Avoid unnecessary idling, Shut the engine off rather than idle for long periods of time (unless the comperature is extremely cold), * Observe the air service indicator frequently, and keep the air cleaner elements clean. Make sure that turbochargers are operating correctly so that the proper aifuel ratio is mainta Clean extiaust indicates proper functioning, * Maintain a good electrical system. One bad battery cell will overwork the alternator, consuming excess power and fuel * Make sure that belts are properly adjusted and in good condition. * Make sure that all air hose connections are tight and do not leak, * Cold engines consume excess fuel. Urilize jacket water and exhaust system heat when possible. Keep radiator fins and water pumps clean and in good repair. Never operate without thermostats. All of these items will help maintain operating temperatures. + Fuel system settings and altitude limits are stamped on the engine Information Plate. If an engine is moved to a higher altitude, settings must be changed by a Caterpillar dealer in order to prevent turbocharger damage and provide maximum engine efficiency.
