1、 Daily inspection of Cummins generator set

Appearance inspection: Check the appearance of Cummins generator sets daily to see if there are any liquid leaks, including fuel, oil, and coolant. At the same time, check for signs of damage, deformation, or corrosion on the casing, especially for generators used in humid or corrosive environments, with a focus on inspecting the connection parts and heat dissipation fins.

Oil inspection:

Oil: It should be checked after a period of time after the generator is shut down, when all the oil has returned to the oil pan. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick, and if it is insufficient, the engine oil that meets the requirements of Cummins generators should be added in a timely manner.

Coolant: The coolant level should be at the appropriate position in the water tank, and it is generally necessary to ensure that the coolant can completely cover the radiator core. If the liquid level is too low, add coolant and check the cooling system for leaks.

Fuel: Ensure that there is enough fuel in the fuel tank to prevent the generator from shutting down due to insufficient fuel. At the same time, check for any leaks in the fuel lines.

Filter inspection: Regularly clean or replace the air filter element to ensure the quality of air entering the engine. At the same time, check if the fuel filter needs to be replaced to prevent impurities from entering the engine.

 

2、 Electrical and mechanical connection inspection

Electrical connection: Check the electrical connection parts such as wire connectors and sockets to ensure that the connection is firm and there is no looseness or oxidation. Loose electrical connections may lead to increased resistance, overheating, and even fire hazards.

Mechanical connection: Check the tension of the belt. If the belt is too loose, it may slip and affect the normal operation of the charging and cooling systems of the generator; If the belt is too tight, it will increase the load on the bearings and shorten the service life of the belt and bearings. Generally, when pressing the belt with fingers, the deflection of the belt should be within an appropriate range.

3、 Regular maintenance and replacement

Oil and oil filter: Replace the oil and oil filter. When changing the oil, the old oil should be completely drained before installing a new oil filter.

Fuel filter: Replace the fuel filter according to the quality and usage of the fuel. When replacing, pay attention to the correct installation direction and exhaust the air in the fuel system after installation.

Coolant: Replacement of coolant. When adding new coolant, check if the coolant ratio meets the requirements.

 

4、 Safety and Storage Precautions

Fire safety: Ensure that there are no flammable materials around the generator set, and prohibit smoking or using open flames around the equipment. Regularly check whether the fire prevention facilities of the equipment are intact and effective.

Lightning protection: For generator sets installed outdoors, lightning protection measures should be taken, such as installing lightning rods. Regularly inspect the working status of lightning protection facilities to ensure their effectiveness.

Long term storage: If the generator needs to be stored for a long time, it should be cleaned first to remove impurities such as dust and oil on the surface. Then let the generator dry naturally in a well ventilated area to prevent rusting.

The daily maintenance precautions for Cummins generator sets involve multiple aspects, including daily inspections, electrical and mechanical connection checks, regular maintenance and replacement, safety and storage precautions, and other maintenance recommendations. I hope the above introduction can provide users with reference.
