This document outlines the preventive maintenance schedule for generators at the Chelmsford CMOP, detailing quarterly, annual, and three-year service tasks, along with battery replacement procedures. Quarterly maintenance includes checking battery electrolyte, sampling engine oil and cooling system coolant, draining fuel tank water, inspecting hoses and clamps, performing visual inspections, and operational checks of the control panel. Annual tasks involve rotating units, inspecting the alternator, belts, and engine protective devices, testing cooling system SCA, cleaning and tightening the cylinder head grounding stud, changing engine oil and filters, replacing fuel system filters, cleaning magnetic pickups, checking generator set alignment and vibration, cleaning the engine crankcase breather, checking generator and stator leads, testing insulation, and cleaning the radiator. Every three years, the cooling system coolant is changed, coolant extender is added, the water temperature regulator is replaced, and components like the crankshaft vibration damper, engine mounts, speed/timing sensors, engine valve lash and rotators, starting motor, turbocharger, water pump, and generator bearing are inspected or lubricated. Battery replacement mandates using OEM-approved batteries, cleaning and torquing terminals, and environmentally disposing of old batteries. This comprehensive schedule ensures the generators' operational reliability and compliance with maintenance standards.
