Y" , <br />Tn a conversation with Greg Wilson we discussed the exercise recommend:cions for the llGFA Serial <br />Number A020326325 generator set started by an automatic transfer switch The Cummins/ Onan <br />Opera[or's Manual suggests the following information: "Generator sets on ;:ontinuous standby must be able <br />to go from a cold start to being fully operational in a matter of seconds. Tl:: s can impose a severe burden <br />on engine parts. Regulaz exercising keeps engine pans lubricated, prevena oxidation of electrical contacts <br />and in general helps provide reliable engine starting. Exercise the gencrai~ r gat at ]cast once a week for a <br />minimum of 30 minutes with load so the engine reaches normal operating : cmperamre." <br />"fhe above rccommcndation is for optimum performance of the generator :a:.d transfer switch system. <br />Wherr thew rccomrnendations aze reduced the reliability of the equipment :, reduced. <br />Business or environmental reasons may call for reducing the exercise peril :ts. When the customer makes <br />this decision, they must accept the fact that tlm reliability of the equipment may be reduced. We aze aware <br />of custorncrs who run their gcricmtor sets at two times a month and have ~y god success. <br />If faced with a situation where the generator sot is not axetcised as recomn ~;nded, often times accelerated <br />maintenance will help increase reliability. <br />We fully support the factory rccommcndations but aze trying to provide an ;dternadve where exercising <br />generator time may conflict with local ordinances. <br />Regazds, <br />A1J obson <br />Distributor Pield Service Enginaer <br />Cummins NPower <br />G~hone: GSt-G36-1000 <br />facsimile: 659 -286.21 1 1 <br />
