6. Quarterly Services shall include: Quarterly Services shall take place on second, third and fourth quarter of each year. A. Change Oil and filter. B. Check and top off fluid levels, to include anti-freeze and battery fluids (if applicable). C. Inspect: 1) Injectors, timing, and rack – adjust if necessary. 2) Belt tension. 3) Battery charger. 4) Fluid leaks. 5) Paint – touch up if needed. D. Lubricate transfer switch mechanism with dry lubricant made for electrical devices. E. Drain the sediment off the fuel filters and day tank. F. Blow out the generator/alternator with dry nitrogen. G. Test run system under building load. 7. Winter Months Services Shall include: Due to the harsh conditions during winter, the tasks performed under “Quarterly Services” shall be performed in months of February and March. 8. Annual Services shall include: The Annual Services shall take place in January of each year. A. Perform coolant flush including new coolant, belts, hoses, thermostats, and radiator cap. B. Replace battery, Caterpillar 9X9720 or similar. Write replacement date on battery. C. Perform complete tune-up on engine to include replacing spark plugs, changing the oil and all filters (i.e. coolant, air, fuel and oil). Sample the anti-freeze coolant in the engine and supply a report. Blow out the generator/alternator with dry nitrogen. Check the controller and all engine safeties. Clean and adjust the voltage relays. Lubricate the transfer switch mechanism with dry lubricant made for electrical devices. D. Adject the valves. E. Check the four (4) injectors and adjust the timing and rack. F. Check the oil level after oil change is complete. G. Check the water and anti-freeze levels after tune-up is complete. H. Check belt tension. I. Drain the sediment off the fuel filters and day tank. J. Check the battery charger. K. Test run system under building load. 1) Provide the resistive load bank service annually and pre-arrange the time of load bank service with the on-site Commander and Facilities Coordinator. This is typically a two-hour testing process. L. Check for leaks, make a visual inspection, and make minor adjustments if necessary. M. Touch-up paint, if necessary, to prevent equipment from rusting.
