Precautions
Security Measures
• Before operating or maintaining the DG, get familiar with the installation manual and master the operation
requirements for the DG components.
• When starting the DG and maintaining the engine, generator, and apparatuses and devices installed on the
DG, read and follow instructions in maintenance manuals and user manuals provided by manufacturers, and
other maintenance manuals delivered with the DG.
• Before performing the operation and maintenance steps not specified in this document or related documents,
contact Huawei for permission. Otherwise, unexpected personal injury or equipment damage may be caused.
• Keep sparks, fire, and flammable objects away from the DG.
• When you are performing maintenance near the engine or a rotating component, take off your ID card and tie
your hair and put them in your hat to protect them from being twisted into high-speed moving components
(such as a fan or drive bearing), avoiding personal injury or death.
Safety Regulations
To ensure safe and reliable operating of equipment, properly maintain and service equipment. The only way to
avoid personal injury and damage to equipment is strictly following operation rules and safety regulations.
Electrical Safety
• Ground the DG properly. Lock all electric panels. Use insulated tools to check and repair electric devices.
Avoid electric shocks in wet environments.
• Follow all electrical regulations. Only qualified personnel are allowed to install, check, and repair electric
parts of equipment.
Operating Safety
• Do not use the DG in places with explosives.
• Do not get close to the running DG. Loose clothes, hair, and falling tools may cause serious personal
injury and damage to equipment.
• For a running DG, its exposed pipes and components are at high temperatures. Avoid touching them to
prevent burns.
Fire Prevention
• Metal objects can result in short circuits, which may cause fire.
• Keep the engine clean because excessive oil stains may cause engine overheated, which leads to fire and
damage to equipment.
• Place multiple dry powder or CO2 fire extinguishers besides the DG.

NOTICE: •Do not add or drain coolant, engine oil, or fuel when the DG is running.
•Do not check the oil level dipstick when the DG is running.

1. Check the Coolant Level in the Water Tank

Step 1. Check the coolant level and add coolant if it is insufficient when the generator set
is stopping status. Figure 1-1 shows a coolant filler port. Prepare coolant by
referring to the coolant instructions.

2. Check the Water Level Sensor

Step 1: Unplug the sensor connecter and measure the resistance of the water level sensor
contact by using a multimeter.
If the sensor always open no matter the water tank is full or empty, that means the
water level sensor is faulty

Step 3: If water level sensor is ok, but low water level alarm on ECC, please check the
connecting cable from sensor to GMU interface board, follow the chapter 3

• If the contact is closed when the radiator is full, proceed with the operations described in
section 3. "Checking the Water Level Sensor Cable Connection“
• If the contact is not closed when the radiator is full, replace the water level sensor
(Huawei part number: 52261420/52260830).

3. Check the water level sensor cable connection

Step 1: Check the cable connection between the plug and pin 3 and pin 5 of the J1008
terminal on the GMU interface board.
Figure 3-1 Check the cable connection

4. Restoring Components of the Generator Set

After troubleshooting is complete, check and restore the components changed or moved
during the troubleshooting process. Ensure that the fuel pipes of the generator set do not
leak, and the cables are not loose or short-circuited. Set the GMU mode to automatic
before leaving the site.

Step 1: Drain the coolant, collect the coolant with a container.

Step 2: Remove the faulty water level sensor.

Step 3: Bind the sealing tape on the new sensor for 0.5mm thickness.

Figure 1 Bind the sealing tape on the new sensor for 0.5mm thickness

Step 4: Screw the new sensor on the radiator, the arrow should be downward.
