As an important backup power supply, the normal operation of diesel generator sets is of great significance to ensure the normal production of enterprises and the normal life of residents. Engine oil is an important lubricant in diesel generator sets, which can reduce friction, reduce wear, and improve the operating efficiency and service life of diesel generator sets. Therefore, regular oil change is one of the important jobs to maintain diesel generator sets. This article will introduce the steps of changing the oil of diesel generator sets in detail to help users better maintain the equipment.
1. Preparations.
Before you start changing your oil, you need to make the following preparations:
1.Determine the model and usage of the diesel generator set in order to select the appropriate oil specification and model.
2.Have the tools and materials you need, including an oil filter, new oil, detergent, gloves, paper towels, and more.
3.Shut down and make sure the diesel generator set cools down while disconnecting the power supply to ensure safe operation.
4.Check the environment around the diesel generator set to make sure there are no flammable items, and clean up the surrounding debris and dust.
2. Drain the old engine oil.
1.Locate the oil drain of the diesel generator set's tank, which is usually located at the bottom of the tank.
2.Use a clean container to pick up the old drained oil, taking care not to spill it on the surroundings and the machine.
3.When draining old oil, you need to loosen the drain bolts slowly, taking care not to let the oil flow out suddenly and in large quantities.
4.When the old oil is drained, tighten the drain bolts and make sure the seal is good.
3. Replace the oil filter.
1.Use a clean paper towel to wipe down the area around the oil filter, making sure there is no dust and impurities.
2.Rotate the oil filter and remove the set screws, then pull the old oil filter out of the tubing.
3.Install the new oil filter to the tubing and make sure the seals are intact.
4.Tighten the set screws and make sure the filter is tightly attached to the tubing.
Fourth, fill with new engine oil.
1.Pour the new oil into a clean container and make sure it is free of impurities and moisture.
2.Open the fuel tank cap of the diesel generator set and pour the new oil into the tank slowly.
3.Pay attention to the oil scale and make sure that the amount of oil filled does not exceed the maximum tick mark.
4.Close the fuel tank cap and check that it is well sealed.
5. Start the diesel generator set.
1.Check the oil scale again before starting to make sure the oil level is moderate.
2.Turn the start key or press the start button to start the diesel generator set.
3.Check the operation of the diesel generator set to ensure that there is no abnormal sound and vibration.
4.After a few minutes of operation, check the oil gauge again to make sure the oil level is normal.
6. Inspection and maintenance.
1.Continuously monitor the operating condition of the diesel generator set for a period of time after the oil change.
2.Regularly check the cleanliness and color of the oil, and change the oil in time if any abnormalities are found.
3.Clean and replace the air filter regularly to ensure the intake quality of the diesel generator set.
4.Adjust and maintain other related components according to the actual situation to ensure the normal operation and service life of the diesel generator set.
