Cooling System - Ingersoll Rand G330 Guía De Usuario Y Mantenimiento Manual

Cooling system

Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the engine is
hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out and cause
burns.
If work must be carried out with the engine at oper-
ating temperature and the coolant filler cap or a cock
open or a coolant hose disconnected, open the cool-
ant filler cap carefully and slowly to release pressure
before removing the cap completely. Note that the
coolant may still be hot and can cause burns.
Fuel injection system
Always use protective gloves when tracing leaks. Li-
quids ejected under pressure can penetrate body tis-
sue and cause serious injury. There is a danger of
blood poisoning.
Always cover the generator if it is located under the
fuel filter. The generator can be damaged by spilled
fuel.
Electrical system
Cutting off power
Always stop the engine and break the current using
the main switches before working on the electrical
system. Isolate external power to the engine block
heater, battery charger, or accessories mounted on
the engine.
Batteries
The batteries contain an extremely corrosive electro-
lyte. Protect your skin and clothes when charging or
handling batteries. Always use protective goggles and
gloves.
If battery electrolyte comes into contact with unpro-
tected skin, wash off immediately using plenty of wa-
ter and soap. If battery acid comes into contact with
the eyes, flush immediately with plenty of water and
obtain medical assistance without delay.
Welding
Remove the positive and negative leads from the bat-
teries. Then remove all leads to the generator.
Always connect the weld clamp to the component to
be welded and as close to the welding point as pos-
sible. The clamp should never be connected to the en-
gine or in such a manner that the current is able to
pass across any bearings.
When welding is complete: Always connect the
leads to the generator before replacing the battery
leads.
