After the test co-orclinatorhas Fven permission,the diesel generatoris started under manual control,
accordingto the manuf'acturcr'srequirements.
If any noise, scrrpingor other abnormalphnomenais observed,or if an authorizedrepresentative of any

If any temperature is excessiveor increasestoo rapidly, the unit shail be shut down and the causesof tiris

is satisfactoryto the nrarruf'rcturers'
representatives.
8"1.2 During the test run, at leastthe following measurementsandior obsen'alionsshallbe made :
l) Noiseor vibration in the dieseiengineand/or generator.
2) Operating conditions of safety and signaldevices,in particular thosewhich could not be properly tested
before the unit rotated.
3) Operatingconditions for the oil pressureand other pumps.
4) Oil pressure,in lubrication systems.
5) Preszure,circulation,inlet and outlet temperatureof coolingwater.
6) Temperaturesof bearingsand lubrication oil.
7) Temperatureof exhaustgas.
8) Fuel pumps rack.
9) Engine speed.
8.1.3 The functioningof the govemingsystemmay be checkedat this tirne'and.withthegovcmoroperating
correctly, the dieselenginemay be used for dry-out, testson the electricalequiprrrent,protection and auto-

If sper:ified,
After the completion of eachload rejection test, the enginespeedrise data shall be analizedto ensure
