PROBLEM
The oil temperature sensor on certain DG60 Generator Sets could potentially experience a symptom where the analog temperature gauge does not display an accurate oil temperature. This is due to the location of the sensor in an area where there is no oil flow to transmit the temperature reading to the gauge. |
