DETAILED WORK INSTRUCTION

1 Preparation
1.1 Please make sure all Aggreko HSE Standards and Risk Assessments applicable with
the tasks in this document are followed.

IMPORTANT
All personnel that isolate energy sources must be competent and authorised in accordance
with the Aggreko Energy Safety Rules (minimum level of authorisation under ESR’s is LOTO
LV) and must have a valid individual Letter of Electrical Authorisation (LEA).

1.2 If the equipment is operating, shut it down. Refer to the genset operations manual for
the correct shut down procedure.
1.3 Isolate the genset from all energy sources and apply LOTO in accordance with the
Energy Safety Rules (AGK-ALL-ALL-HS-01-SOP-01) and SWI P06000942.
1.4 Use an approved test probe and proving unit to test the equipment for dead.
1.5 If unsure, please consult the line manager for more clarity.

IMPORTANT
At the radiator fan bearing replacement section, this document is divided in 2 different
sections, one for 800mm and the other for 900mm Fan motor version. Please check what is
