UNDERSTANDING
THE
DIESEL
ENGINE
The
diesel engine closely resembles the gasoline engine,
since the
mechanism
is essentially the same.
The
cylinders
are arranged above a closed crankcase; the crankshaft is
of
the
same
general type
as
that
of
a gasoline engine; and the
diesel engine has the same types
of
valves, camshaft, pistons,
connecting
rods
and
lubricating system.
Therefore, to a great extent, a diesel engine requires the
same
preventive maintenance
as
a gasoline engine.
The
most important factors are proper ventilation and proper
maintenance
of
the
fuel, lubricating and cooling systems.
Replacement
of
fuel and lubricating filter elements at the
time periods specified is a must, and frequent checking for
contamination (that is, water, sediment, etc.) in the fuel
system is also essential. Another important factor is the use
of
the
same
brand
of
high detergent diesel lubrication oil
designed specifically for diesel engines.
The
diesel engine does differ from the gasoline engine,
however,
in
its method
of
handling and firing
of
fuel.
The
carburetor and ignition systems are done away with and
in
their place is a single component - the fuel injection pump -
which performs the function
of
both.
ORDERING
PARTS
Whenever
replacement parts are needed, always provide the
generator model number, engine serial number, and generator
serial
number
as
they appear
on
the silver and black name
plate located
on
the generator end.
You
must provide us with
this information
so
we may properly identify your generator
set. In addition, include a complete part description and part
number
for each part needed (see the separately furnished
Parts List).
Also
insist upon
WESTERBEKE
packaged parts
because will fit
or
generic parts are frequently not made
to
the
same
specifications as original equipment.
SPARES
AND
ACCESSORIES
Certain spares will
be
needed to support and maintain your
WESTERBEKE
generator. Your local
WESTERBEKE
dealer will assist you in preparing an inventory
of
spare parts.
See
the SPARE PARTS page
in
this manual. For Engine and
Generator Accessories, see the ACCESSORIES brochure.
