Table 4 - Semi-annual inspection, test, and maintenance requirements

(See Clauses 6.7, 7.6.1, 10.7, 11.1.2, 11.5.1, and 11.5.2 and Table 5.)

1. Complete all items specified in Table 2 and Table 3

2. Inspect and clean engine crankcase breathers.

3. Inspect and clean all engine linkages.

4. Lubricate the engine governor and ventilation system.

5. Test protective devices for proper operation.

6. Before start-up, perform two full cranking cycles (as specified in Clauses 10.4.1 and 10.4.2). Near the end of each cycle (and while still cranking), measure and record the lowest indicated battery voltage. If the measured voltage is less than 80% of the battery’s rated voltage, replace the battery. Alternatively, perform a battery load test using a suitable load tester.

7. Inspect ventilation system belt(s).

8. Correct all defects found during inspections and tests.

9. Record all inspections, tests, and corrective actions in the log (see Clause 11.5.3).

Notes:
1) Items 2 to 9 shall be carried out by a competent person or individuals trained by the system manufacturer.
2) For item 5, if it is not possible to create the fault condition, a simulated fault condition should be performed if possible.
