The exhaust should then be clean with no evidence of oil dribbling or slobbering. Reduce the load on the generator set from 100 percent to zero by placing each of the load bank toggle switches in the “OFF’ position. Place the load bank control circuit breaker in the “OFF” position. Place generator set circuit breaker switch in the OFF position. Place the 15 KW generator set in the "OFF" condition, shutting down the engine. Disconnect the four L0, L1, L2, L3 interconnection power conductors. Replace the plastic protective rover over the generator set electrical terminal assembly. Disconnect the frame to ground conductor. Stow the load bank and the interconnection conductors and return to the vehicle. HOT EXHAUST SURFACES MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. Clean outer engine surfaces of oil residue caused by previous slobbering/wet stacking. Section V. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS) NOTE The PMCS chart in this section contains all necessary operator preventive main- tenance checks and services for this equipment. 2-29 INTRODUCTION. Purpose. Your PMCS table lists the checks (inspections) and services (care) of your equipment to keep it in good operating condition. Inspection will allow defects to be discovered and corrected before they result in serious dam- age or failure. Table 2-2 lists the PMCS in sequence of performance. Operator personnel must observe all cautions and warnings. 2-36 EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS. a. Item Number column. This column provides identification numbers for the performance of PMCS func- tions in proper sequence. Use the numbers as a reference on reports of failures and deficiencies. (For Army users, report on DA Form 2404 Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet). b. Interval column. This column identifies when particular functions (checks/service) must be performed. c. Item to check/service column. This column identifies specific items for inspecting (servicing/checking). d. Procedures. The column lists the checks or services you have to perform and explains how to perform them. e. Not Fully Mission Capable If: column.
