Safety precautions and instructions

Solé Diesel is concerned for your safety and your machine’s condition. Safety Precautions and

Instructions are one of the primary ways to call your attention to the potential hazards associated with
our engine operation. Follow the precautions listed throughout the manual before and during operation
and maintenance procedures for your safety, the safety of others and the performance of your engine.
Types of Safety Precautions:

Indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injuries, death or substantial
property damages.

Indicates the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damages.

Communicates installation, operation and maintenance information that is safety related but not
hazard related.

Servicing the fuel system and combustible materials. A flash fire can cause severe injury or death.

Do not smoke or permit flames or sparks near the fuel injection system, fuel line, fuel filter,
fuel pump, or other potential sources of spilled fuels or fuel vapors. Never add fuel to the
tank while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on contact with hot parts
or from sparks.

Catch fuels in an approved container when removing the fuel line or fuel system. Keep the
fuel lines and connections tight and in good condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines
and use flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by vibrations.
Keep the compartment and the engine clean and free of debris to minimize the risk of fire.

Servicing the air cleaner. A sudden backfire can cause severe injury or death.
Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner/silencer removed.

Combustible materials. A fire can cause severe injury or death.

Engine fuels, fuel vapours and combustible materials are flammable and explosive. Handle

these materials carefully to minimize the risk of fire or explosion. Equip the compartment

or nearby area with a fully charged fire extinguisher.

In case of fire do not open sound shield compartment and follow these instructions:

- Shut down engine(s)

- Continuously discharge entire contents of a halon or CO2 portable fire extinguisher (or other
provision) immediately.

Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause severe nausea, fainting or death.
Engine exhaust gases contains carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is an odourless, colourless,
tasteless, no irritating gas that can cause death if inhaled for even a short time.

Operator’s Manual. Marine generator sets

Get fresh air and do not sit, lie down or fall asleep if anyone shows signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning:

- Light-headedness, dizziness

- Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles. Sleepiness, mental fatigue,
inability to concentrate or speak clearly, blurred vision. Stomachache, vomiting,
nausea.

Keep the area around the battery well ventilated. While the engine is running or the battery is charging,

hydrogen gas is produced which can be easily ignited.
Never allow battery fluid (battery contains sulfuric acid) to come in contact with clothing,
skin or eyes. Always wear safety gloves and protective clothing when servicing the
battery. If battery fluid contacts the eyes and/or skin, immediately flush the affected area
with a large amount of clean water and obtain prompt medical treatment.

Before working on the engine or connected equipment, disable the engine as follows:

Set the engine controller (SVT) to OFF Mode.
(1) Disconnect the power input from battery.
(2) Disconnect the battery cables. Remove the negative (-) lead first when disconnecting
the battery. Reconnect the negative (-) lead last when reconnecting the battery.

Follow these precautions to prevent the starting of the engine by engine controller

(SVT), remote start/stop switch, or engine start command from a remote computer.

Never remove the cooler cap if the engine is hot. Steam and hot engine coolant will
spurt out and seriously burn you. Allow the engine to cool down before you attempt to
remove the cooler cap.

Read the engine operator's manual and understand it before operation and maintenance of the
engine, to ensure that it continues operating practices and maintenance procedures.
Hearing protection. Use to avoid hearing loss when handling the motor.

1. The installer / operator of the engine has to wear suitable CLOTHING for the workplace and the
situation; in particular, avoid loose clothes, chains, bracelets, rings and all accessories that could
become entangled with moving parts.

2. The installer / operator of the engine has to wear personal protective equipment such as gloves,
work shoes, eye and hearing protection as required by the task.

3. The area in which the operator is working has to be kept tidy and free of oil and other liquid spillages
and solid waste (metal chips, etc.).

After inspecting the goods if you notice damage, write a reservation on the delivery note. Have the
carrier countersign the note and advise Solé Diesel S.A., preferably by mail ([e-mail]).

2.2. Transporting and Handling the Packed Genset

When lifting and transporting the genset use EXCLUSIVELY a forklift or bridge crane of appropriate
load capacity, with chains equipped with safety hooks suitable for lifting the load.

The use of any other system automatically invalidates the insurance guarantee against possible
damage to the genset.

To unpack the genset, you must follow these steps:

1. Remove the cardboard crate.

2. Lift the genset using a forklift and suitable
chains, which hook to the genset eyebolts.

3. Transfer the genset to the intended position of
installation.

4. Remove the wooden base.

5. Begin installation operations.

Section 4 – Operation

4.1. Prestart Checklist

Follow these checks and inspections to ensure the correct genset operation. In addition, some
checks require verification after unit starts.

AIR CLEANER: Check for a clean and installed air cleaner element to prevent unfiltered air from
entering the genset.

AIR INLETS: Check for clean and unobstructed air inlets.

BATTERY: Check for tight battery connections.

COOLANT LEVEL: Check the coolant level according to coolant circuit capacity.

DRIVE BELTS: Check the belt condition and tension of the coolant pump and battery charging
alternator belt.

EXHAUST SYSTEM: Check for exhaust leaks and blockages. Check the silencer and piping condition
and check for tight exhaust system connections.

Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.

FUEL LEVEL: Check the fuel level and keep the tank(s) full to ensure adequate fuel supply.

OIL LEVEL: Maintain the oil level below dipstick high mark and above dipstick low mark.

OPERATING AREA: Check for obstructions that could block the flow of admission air.

SEAWATER PUMP PRIMING: Prime the seawater pump before initial startup. To prime the pump:

- Close the seacock.

- Remove the hose from the seawater-filter outlet.

- Fill the hose and seawater pump with clean water.

- Reconnect the hose to the water filter outlet.

- Open the seacock.

Confirm seawater pump operation on startup as indicated by water discharge from the exhaust
outlet.

4.2. Genset Operation at Low Temperatures

Whenever the atmospheric temperature drops below zero, the following series of
circumstances occur:

- The cooling liquids may freeze.

- The oil becomes thicker.

- There is a drop in the voltage at the battery terminals.

- The inlet air temperature is low and the genset has difficulty in starting.

- The fuel loses fluidity.

To prevent the damage caused by low temperature operation, the genset should be prepared:

Operator’s Manual. Marine generator sets

1. Use special low temperature coolant or suitable anti-freezing agent concentration.

2. Close the seawater cock, when the genset is stopped. Open the seawater filter cover and start the

genset adding a mixture of freshwater and suitable anti-freezing agent concentration (see package
labels) until the seawater circuit is filled completely. Stop the genset and replace the seawater filter
cover. Before starting the genset again, open the seawater cock.

Repeat this operation whenever the genset is used at temperatures below 0ºC.

3. Use oil with suitable quality and viscosity. SAE 15W40 is recommended. Under extreme conditions

contact with technical support.

4. Cover battery with an adequate material to protect it against the cold. Check that the battery is fully

charged.

It is also advisable to use a dielectric spray on the electrical connections.

5. When starting the genset, make sure that the glow plugs become hot enough.

6. If necessary, replace the diesel oil by a specified diesel oil type for low temperatures. The

accumulation of impurities in the fuel tank could cause faulty firing.

All gensets not in use are subject to rusting and corrosion of machined surfaces that are not
protected with a paint coating. The degree of corrosion depends on meteorological changes and
climatic conditions. The following recommendations are therefore of a general nature but they will
help prevent or reduce the risk of damage due to rusting.

4.3. Winterzation and Preservation

If the boat is not going to be used for a long period of time or during the winter, certain tasks must be
carried out to keep it in perfect operating condition. If there is no care, the inside parts can oxidize and
cause damage on the genset. When the genset is stored, steps indicated below have to been follow:

1. Clean the outer surface of the genset.

2. Bleed the seawater circuit by filling it with fresh water. Fill the seawater circuit again with a

mixture of fresh water and anti-freezing agent.

3. Remove the impeller from the seawater pump, clean it with fresh water and store it in place

protected from moisture and sunlight.

4. Renew and refill the heat exchanger to the maximum level with a mixture of fresh water and

anti-freezing agent.

5. Renew the oil and oil filter in the genset.

6. Cover the air intake.

7. If the fuel tank is small, empty it completely and clean it; fill it up again with a mixture of diesel

and anti-corrosion additive. Solé Diesel S.A. recommends DIECYL PLUS. Add one measure of

this additive for every 25 liters of diesel. On the other hand, if the fuel tank is large, add 1 liter

of this additive for every 500 liters of diesel.

8. Clean and dry the area where the genset is installed.

9. Loosen the belts.

10. Apply dielectric spray on the electrical connection, disassemble the battery and charge it

several times during the time it is not being used.

11. Apply moisture repellent spray on the motor.

4.4. Maintenance during the storage

During the long genset storage, it has to be stored inside a ventilated area and free of
humidity.

When the genset stay stopped for 3 months or more, inside parts can be oxidize and lost the
oil film. As a result, the genset could to size up after the storage. To avoid this, the genset must work
periodically during the storage.

Realize the following steps at least once per month:

1. In case that has a battery next to the genset, check the electrolyte level and fill it.

2. Start the genset during approximately 10 seconds.

3. Stop the genset during 1 minute. Repeat this action two or three times.

4. Be sure that oil pressure of the genset increase.

5. Get the genset work during 5 or 10 minutes without load, as maintenance operation.

4.5. Restoration of Operational Conditions

When starting up the genset again after winter lay-up, certain operations must be performed.
Follow these steps:

1. Fill the fuel tank with clean diesel. The mixture of diesel oil and anti-corrosion additive in

tank for winter lay-up can be used to operate the genset.

2. Get the genset work during 5 or 10 minutes without load, as maintenance operation.

3. Check the fuel filter. If the filter is clogged, replace the filter.

4. Renew the oil in the genset.

5. Check the condition of coolant circuit’s rubber hoses.

6. Reconnect the battery and apply a layer of neutral Vaseline to the battery terminals.

7. Remove the nozzle supports and clean them. If possible, verify the setting of the nozzles

at a workshop. Then install the clean nozzles.

8. Connect the cooling and exhaust system. Open the seawater cock.

9. Verify whether there are any leaks in the fuel, coolant and oil systems.

5.1. Operating Description

Information of special tools required and basic safety precautions.

Disassembly:

- Use the correct tools and instruments. Serious injury or damage to the genset can result

from using the wrong tools and instruments.

- Use an overhaul stand or work bench if necessary. Also, use assembly bins to keep the

genset parts in order of removal.

- Lay down disassembled or cleaned parts in the order in which they were removed. This

will save you time at reassembly.

- Pay attention to the marks on assemblies, components and parts for positions or

directions. Put on your own marks, if necessary, to aid reassembly.

- Carefully check each part for faults during removal or cleaning. Signs of abnormal wear

will tell if parts or assemblies are functioning improperly.

- When lifting or carrying heavy parts, get someone to help you if the part is too awkward

for one person to handle. Use jacks and chain blocks when necessary.

Reassembly:

- Wash all genset parts, except oil seals, O-rings, rubber seals, etc. in cleaning solvent and

dry them.

- Use only the correct tools and instruments.

- Use only good quality lubricating oils and greases. Be sure to apply a coat of oil, grease,

or sealant to parts as specified.

- Use a torque wrench to tighten parts when specified tightening torques is required.

- Replace all gaskets and packing. Apply appropriate amount of adhesive or liquid gasket

when required.

- Increase the frequency of maintenance in harsh duty conditions (frequent stops and

starts, dusty surrounding, prolonged winter season, no-load running).

- Risk of burns during maintenance operations carried out when the genset is hot. Wear

suitable safety clothing.

- It is strictly forbidden to clean the genset with compressed air.

- It is strictly forbidden to perform maintenance/cleaning operations in the presence of

moving parts.

- Use gloves, overalls, etc. to protect the body from burns.

5.2. Periodic Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance and fault diagnostic procedures involve risks that may cause severe injury or even
death. These procedures should therefore be carried out solely by qualified electrical and mechanical

Oil specifications

Use oil with 15W40 viscosity (this is an all-season oil for temperatures
ranging between -15ºC and +40ºC) or select the most suitable oil viscosity for the
atmospheric temperatures on which the genset is going to be operated. On the other
hand, use oil quality no less than ACEA E5/E3 or API CH-4/SJ. Other genset oils may
affect warranty coverage, cause internal genset components to seize and/or
shorten genset life.

Never mix different types of genset oil. This may adversely affect the lubricating properties of
the genset oil.

Maintenance task. Oil filter change

Fuel specifications

Use ASTM diesel fuel No.2-D for the best genset performance, to prevent genset damage. Never use
kerosene, heavy diesel fuel or biodiesel. It is essential to use clean and filtered diesel oil.

The use of diesel oil that not complies with the technical specifications may affect warranty coverage
and cause serious damage in the injection system and internal genset components.

Maintenance task. Fuel Level Inspection

Periodically, it is necessary to check the fuel level to assure the operation of the genset. On
top of that, if fuel pump sucks air when the fuel level is lower than pump suction, it could break.

Whenever possible, keep the fuel tank full. The temperature changes may cause
condensation of the damp air present in the tank and this water accumulates at the bottom. It can
cause an increase of corrosion or an impossibility of starting the genset if this water is aspired by the
fuel pump.

Maintenance task. Fuel tank clean

The fuel impurities could obstruct the suction pump. For this reason, drain out the content of
the fuel tank to remove condensate and any foreign material. Then, wash the tank with fuel and refill
it.

Maintenance task. Water separator filter purge

The fuel system has to have a water separator filter (supplied as accessory) to avoid the
inlet of water in the fuel circuit. According to the maintenance plan it is necessary to purge the filter
to eliminate water periodically. This is the procedure:

1. Loosen the bottom nut to eliminate water.

2. Shut it off again.

3. Check for any leakage.

Maintenance task. Fuel filter change

Procedure to change the fuel filter:

1. Close the fuel supply valve.

2. Disconnect fuel pipes from the fuel filter.

3. Remove fuel filter with a bell key.

4. Place a new fuel filter.

5. Reconnect fuel pipes from the fuel filter.

6. Open the fuel supply valve.

7. Once finished with this operation, start the genset and check for

oil leaks.

Wash hands after any contact with diesel fuel.

Maintenance task. Injection pump inspection

The injection pump is adjusted at factory and should never be adjusted carelessly. Such
adjustment, whenever is required, shall be made by a Solé Diesel licensed service shop, since a
precision pump monitor and skill knowledge are required.

You must check:

- The presence of exhaust smoke color.

Procedure: quickly accelerate genset.

Criteria: no remarkably black smoke exhaust, and correct function of fuel cut-off solenoid

- Any leaks at the body injection pump or fuel lines

Maintenance task. Injector inspection

To check the injection pressure of injectors (opening
pressure) you have to follow these steps:

1. Remove nozzle and washer.

2. Install the injection nozzle on the tester. Slowly

operate the tester handle full strokes to bleed
(remove) air from the pipe and nozzle.

3. Make a slow increase in pressure by operating the

tester handle at a speed of more than one stroke per
second while observing the pressure gauge.

4. The pressure gauge reading will slowly increase and, when the nozzle starts discharging

fuel, it will go down fast. Take the gauge reading right then as the injection pressure.

Injection pressure 13 MPa (140 kgf/cm2)

5. To adjust the injection pressure, increase or decrease the

amount of shims fitted to the nozzle holder.

6. Look at the orifice discharge pattern (shape of discharge)

when fluid begins to flow through the injection nozzle. The

discharge must be finely and uniformly atomized. Any change is an indication of a bad
nozzle.

7. If the nozzle is bad, remove the tip from the nozzle and wash

needle valve and body in clean washing solution. And if the
nozzle is still bad after the tip has been washed, replace the
tip. When installing the new tip, remove synthetic resin film
from the tip and slide the needle valve in the body in clean
diesel fuel to wash off inhibitor completely

8. The washer shown on figure must be replaced.

When testing the injection nozzle, keep its tip pointed away from the operator. Fuel from the
orifices in the tip of the nozzle is under high pressure and can cause injury to the operator.

Maintenance task. Bleeding air from the fuel system

On the first start-up of the engine, and if this has operated with the fuel tank empty, air may enter the
feed system, and it is necessary to purge this. To carry out the priming/purge of the fuel system,
proceed as follows:

1. Check fuel cock located at the tank delivery is open.

2. For engines equiped with Ronim-V and SMI gearboxes, then operate repeatedly (for

6 or 7 times) the lever ofthe fuel pump). If the manual pump valve is clogged,
difficult bleddingcan result. In such a case, remove the air vent bolt and inlet-side
hose from the filter and clean the valve with presssure air.

3. For engines equiped with electrical priming puma, operate the key to “ON” position.

Do not run the starter motor for more than 20 seconds at a time.

The air bledding from the injection pump and from the injectors is automatic.

Once this operations have been terminated proceed to start the engine.

When fuel overflows from the injection pipes, wipe thoroughly with a cloth. Spilled
fuel is a fire hazard.

5.7. Inlet and Exhaust System

Exhaust circuit description

There are two possible installations of the exhaust system. You need to check the distance between
water injection point and waterline to decide which type of installation you need. This information is
specified in the following drawings.

The elements included in the drawing are essential for the correct genset operation:

- Waterlock (supplied as accessory) to prevent seawater from entering inside the engine when

it stops.

To calculate the required collector capacity, we must follow the following formula:

- Goose neck (supplied as accessory)

- Siphon breaker (supplied as accessory) – needed in case there is less than 150 mm

between the water injection point of wet exhaust and the waterline, or if the point of
injection is below waterline.

Type 1 installation. When between water injection point of wet exhaust and waterline is
minimum 150 mm.

equipment, contact with our dealers

Maintenance task. Air filter inspection

Genset is provided with an intake air filter. Examine the element
and housing for damage. Replace the complete air filter if necessary.

It is important to ensure that the combustion air is freely supplied and
freely expelled from the area.

Maintenance task. Exhaust gas, noise and vibrations inspection

Inspect the exhaust system components for cranks, leaks and corrosion.

Exhaust system inspection points

1. Check the hoses for softness, cranks or dents. Replace the hoses as needed.

2. Check for corroded or broken metal parts and replace them as needed.

3. Check for loose, corroded or missing clamps. Tighten or replace the hose clamps and/or

hangers as needed.

4. Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.

5. Visually inspect the exhaust system for exhaust leaks. Check for carbon or soot residue

on exhaust components. Carbon and soot residue indicate an exhaust leak. Seal leaks
as needed.

An excessive tension may cause a quick wear of the belt and alternator bearings. Otherwise, if the
belt is excessively loose or has oil and insufficient load, it can cause the belt to skid.

Never adjust the belt tension with genset running or battery connected

Maintenance task. Battery level

Battery requires a very careful handling and frequent checking. Proceed as shown below:

1. Keep battery dry and cleaned.

2. Check terminal cleanliness regularly. If dust is settled, terminals should be loosened,

cleaned and smeared with a neutral grease layer.

3. Metal objects must not be placed over the battery.

4. Add distilled water if the level is out of range.

5.9. Alternator

The maintenance and fault diagnostic procedures involve risks that may cause severe injury or even
death. These procedures should therefore be carried out solely by qualified electrical and mechanical
specialists. Before any maintenance and cleaning work make sure that there are no live parts that the
generator housing has cooled to ambient temperature, that the genset cannot be accidentally started
up and that all procedures are strictly observed.

Maintenance task. Control of windings and electrical insulation

The condition of the windings can be checked by measuring their electrical resistance to earth.
While running this test, disconnect the voltage regulator. It is usually sufficient to control the main
winding.

The readings should give a measurement of the least 1MOhms. If the insulation resistance is
below this threshold, the alternator alone should be oven dried at 60 – 80ºC for 3 hours. Before
carrying out this operation remove the voltage regulator. As an alternative to oven drying hot air at 60
– 80ºC can be blown through the alternator for at least 1 hour.

Maintenance task. Control of bearings

During maintenance control the condition of the bearing and check that no grease has leaked: the
lifespan of the bearings depends on the vibrations and axial strains they undergo (vibrations can
increase considerably with a bad alignment) and on the working conditions. So, check for any unusual
signs: vibrations, unusual noises.

If undue vibrations or noises appear after long-term usage, these could be due to a worn bearing that,
if damaged, has to be replaced. No maintenance is required for the total operating time:

Operating time

20.000 horas

A bearing lifespan is closely linked to the working conditions and environment.

Long periods of sustained vibrations can damage the bearing balls and their seat. Too high
humidity can emulsify the grease and encourage corrosion.

Intense vibrations caused by the motor or bad alignment of the components in the genset put
the bearing under stresses that will reduce its lifespan.

Maintenance task. Cleaning and lubrication

Any kind of cleaning work must be carried out with the genset shutdown and the mains power
shut off for the risk of severe hazard for persons and objects. Moreover, prior to approaching or
touching the alternator, ensure that it is at room temperature.

Make sure that the genset is shutdown and the mains power is shut off before cleaning the
outside of the genset with compressed air.

Never and for no reason whatsoever use fluids or water. Do not use compressed air to clean
internal electrical parts since this could cause short circuits or related problems.
