KIT-SERVICE METER 1P4923 - Caterpillar

Cat 3500C Marine Auxiliary Generator Sets consist of an engine, a generator, and a control system.Intended Use
The intended use of this power generator is the generation of electrical power.Engine Description
Cat Marine Engines are electronically controlled diesel engines. The engines have electronic unit injectors. The engines can be equipped with either separate circuit aftercooling or jacket water aftercooling. The engines are offered in an 8 cylinder engine, 12 cylinder engine, and 16 cylinder engines.Engine efficiency and engine performance depend on adherence to proper operation and maintenance recommendations. Use the recommended fuels, lubrication oils, and coolant. Pay special attention to the air cleaner, to the fuel system, to the lubrication system, and to the cooling system maintenance. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule" for more information on maintenance items.Engine Specifications
