1. INTRODUCTION
Aksa Generator set is designed to be commissioned,
when delivered, as soon as the necessary cooling wa-
ter, antifreeze, fuel, lubrication oil and fully charged
battery are provided.
With its long years of experience, Aksa manufactures
efficient, reliable and quality generator set.
This operating and maintenance manual is prepared
to assist the operator in operation and maintenance
of the generator set. Observing the advices and ru- Figure 1. Aksa Generator Set Dataplate

overhaul (this subject includes oil change periods, filter
change periods, paying attention about selecting the
