SME: Bruce Cole

Did you know if you let a diesel engine run entirely out of fuel it will be necessary to "bleed" the fuel injector lines? We will be looking at how and why a generator actually produces electricity, as well as how a diesel internal combustion engine works. We will carefully examine how the generator head, the internal combustion engine, and ancillary components, work together to provide emergency power when it's needed. We will also examine safe and effective maintenance practices regarding the generator and its' peripheral components. This interactive online course covers the steps to test and maintain a battery, the standard components which make up a generator system, the items to inspect before manually starting a generator and will explain how to inspect the coolant system.
