I don't understand what do you mean. The genset you buy is Perkins 4000 Series diesel generator and it cannot run normally, right? If so, try to check the following issues:
1. Battery failure
2. Low coolant level
3. Low coolant temp alarm
4. Oil, fuel or coolant leaks
5. Control not in auto
6. Air in the fuel system
7. Ran out of fuel
8. High fuel level alarm
9. Breaker trip

Im not sure are you asking about Phasing ? on a three phase gen set , yes extreme care needs be taken if you need to start one genset before shutting one off , in this case a Phase/sync meter will need to be used to keep from surging all the loads connected to genset , also all three phases of each genset needs to be "In sync" to be able to use a transfer from one genset to another , in sync refers to peek waveform on each genset, needs to be in perfect time or an "ARC" will occur , that could be detrimental to the connected loads if there sensative to this type

I need the workshop manual of perkins england 2332/1800 diesel engine of genset generator Olympia Gep150 controlled by Fg wilson uk.best regards

We are Perkins diesel generator OEM and can provide 22KW to 1800KW Perkins diesel generator including open type,silent type and container type genset. Each genset has its user's manual.

Normal starting procedure of Perkins Generator set

1. As far as possible do not start the generator set under load conditions.

2. Transfer the key switch to the starting (STAR) position. The engine should start immediately.

3. After the engine starts, return the key switch to the running (RUN) position. If the engine has not started after 10 seconds, turn the key switch back into operation and (RUN) for 10 seconds. Then repeat steps 2 and 3. If the engine is still unable to start after three attempts, please find out why.

4. After engine starts, follow steps 4.a and 4.b.

A. Check the oil pressure.
B. Check the machine for leaks.
C. Make sure the battery is charged.
D. After running the engine for five minutes, check the generator monitoring system. Make sure the engine works properly before loading.

Note: do not use ether-like spray starting aids in cold weather. Otherwise, it could lead to explosion and personal injury.

The use of water jacket heaters or extra battery capacity improves the machine's start-ability below 10 ?.

Methods for checking and cleaning the core of the rear cooler of Perkins generator set

Check for damage, corrosion, dirt, grease, insect stains, leaves, oil and other debris on the cooler. Clean the cooler if necessary.

Perkins 20 kva diesel generator runs and stops in about 2 minutes.alternator failure is displayed on screen.

Ensure any engine control switch is set to the run position, with the load disengaged. Manually set the air shut off valve (if fitted) to the run position (see Fig. 18), Turn the key switch to the start position, which will energize the solenoid allowing the engine to crank over for a few seconds then start.

Check the instrument panel is showing normal running oil pressure, and the ammeter for charge to the engine batteries.
Allow the engine to run for five minutes checking the instruments are reading correctly. Stop the engine and check the oil and coolant levels, replenish if necessary.

What is the size Battery (cranking amp) needed for a 3990cc 4 cylinder Perkins 50HP AA Series Naturally Asperated Diesel Engine With a 40KW Generator attached. Thanks, Verner From Florida.

If the unit has a battery box, measure it and get the largest size that will fit and of course the correct voltage. Diesels take a lot to crank.

You can search battery sizes on the internet for physical size. NAPA has a pretty good selection.
