About this file
This is a preventive maintenance inspection report for a Caterpillar 3306 IND engine-generator set located at VA Hospital NIHS/Fort Wayne. The inspection was completed on April 22, 2025, by technician Evan Dunlay at 1025 operating hours. The equipment, serial number 66D48506, is positioned in Building 2, Room 101 at 2121 Lake Avenue, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The comprehensive PM2 service inspection included installation verification, cooling system checks, starting system evaluation, lubrication system assessment, control panel and generator testing, fuel system inspection, and exhaust/air intake system review.
The inspection results indicate satisfactory status across all major system components. Key findings include oil pressure of 68 PSI, battery charger float rate of 26.2 VDC, alternator voltage of 26.3 VDC, generator frequency of 60.7 HZ, and generator output voltage of 485 VAC line-to-line. Maintenance actions completed included adding up to two gallons of coolant and crankcase oil as needed, replacing fuel filter (1R0750), replacing oil filter (1R0739), and replacing lubricating oil with 15W40 viscosity grade. All controls were reset to automatic position, circuit breakers set correctly, battery charger and day tank controls verified as operational, and jacket water heater confirmed on. The report notes that boiler room PM2 maintenance was completed with an oil sample taken for the Caterpillar Scheduled Oil Sampling Program.
