(5) Operation in salt water areas.
The generator should be
cleaned with a clean cloth, dampened with clean fresh water
regularly. Use care not to contaminate the fuel supply or damage the
electrical system with water.
When lubricating, care must be taken
to keep salt water from entering the engine when adding or changing
oil.
Lubricate more frequently than specified in the current
lubrication order.
Paint all exposed no-polished surfaces.
Coat
exposed parts of polished steel with standard issue rustproofing
material or cover parts with one light coat of grease.
(6) Operation at high altitudes. The generator sets are rated
a 3 kw up to 8,000 feet altitude.
To calculate specific generator
set output above 8,000 feet, use the following formula:
7% x actual altitude - 8,000 x 3 kw = kw derating
1,000
Example: 0.07 x 13,000 - 8,000 x 3 kw = 1.05 kw derating
1,000
3 kw - 1.05 kw = 1.95 kw derated power at 13,000 feet.
