GASKET KIT 6V1410 - Caterpillar

The generator set control panel is located on top of the generator, and is equipped with the following controls and gauges.
CONTROL PANEL 1. Panel lights2. Panel lights ON/OFF switch3. Alternating current ammeter4. Frequency meter5. Alternating current voltmeter6. Voltmeter/Ammeter phase selector7. Engine control selector8. Voltage level rheostat9. Oil pressure gauge10. Water temperature gauge11. Shutdown indicators12. Heat switch (if equipped)13. Governor motor control switch (if engine is equipped with PSG governor)Panel lights (1) are controlled by an ON/OFF switch (2).An ammeter (3), frequency meter (4) and a voltmeter (5) show output of the generator. The voltmeter/ammeter phase selector switch (6) selects which phase (T1, T2, or T3) of generator output will be monitored on the ammeter (3) or the voltmeter (5).The engine control switch (7) allows manual or automatic operation of the engine and generator set.The engine control switch has four positions; MANUAL, AUTOMATIC, STOP and OFF. Placing the control in MANUAL will start the engine and allow the operator to manually connect the generator to the load.In Automatic position, the Generator Set can be started from a remote point.Both the Off and Stop positions stop the engine immediately, regardless of the cooldown timer. The cooldown timer is optional and functions only when the engine is controlled remotely, using the Automatic position of the engine control switch.The voltage level rheostat (8) replaces the rheostat in the generator regulator assembly.Gauge (9) indicates engine oil pressure and gauge (10) indicates engine water temperature.If the engine has a malfunction, the engine off/reset switch (7) will activate a shutdown relay to stop the engine. The shutdown indicators (11) indicate if the fault was either oil pressure, water temperature, overspeed or an overcrank condition.If the engine is equipped with glow plugs, they are controlled by an ON/OFF switch (12).If engine is equipped with a PSG governor, governor motor switch (13) allows the operator to control the engine RPM from a panel.Manual Operation of Generator Set Control Panel
Starting the Engine
1. Perform all before starting inspections. See Before Starting in Engine Operation and Maintenance Guide. 2. Turn Engine Automatic Control Selector switch to Manual position.3. After the engine starts and its systems have stabilized, apply the load. 4. Regulate the frequency of the generator with the Governor Motor Raise-Lower switch or Manual Governor Control Lever.Stopping the Engine
1. Remove the load from the engine.2. Reduce engine speed to low idle. Push down and hold Governor Motor Raise-Lower switch in the Lower position or move governor control lever to low idle position.3. Release switch when low idle is reached.4. While the engine is at low idle, measure the engine oil level. Oil level must be maintained between the ADD and FULL mark on the ENGINE RUNNING side of the dipstick.5. After engine cools, turn Engine Auto. Control Selector switch to STOP. Move the selector to OFF after the engine stops.Refer to Engine Operation and Maintenance Guide for other methods to stop the engine.Move the shutoff lever forward. Hold lever in this position until engine stops.Automatic Start-Stop Operation of Generator
