4 Assembly

4.1 Remove Shipping

Dunnage And Parts

^ WARNING

Depending on model, approximate weight of the generator is 269 - 674 kg (592 - 1485 lbs)

Do not position feet around or under pallet�

1. Remove crate material from pallet.

2. Remove all shipping bands, wires and loose parts from around generator.

4.2 Remove Generator

From Pallet

1. Attach hitch to generator frame.

2. Roll generator off of pallet onto oor.

3. Install PTO driveline.

4.3 Driveline Dimension

A PTO driveline is supplied with the machine.

To accompany the variety of hitch geometry available today, the driveline can be too long for most machines or too short for others. It is very important that the driveline be free to telescope

but not to bottom out when going through its working range. If the driveline bottoms out, the bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be overloaded and fail in a short time.

1. To determine the proper length of the

driveline, follow this procedure:

a. Clear the area of all bystanders.

b. Attach generator to tractor (see section

5.3) but do not attach driveline.

c. Measure dimension between locking

grooves on tractor PTO shaft and

machine input shaft.

d. Measure the same dimensions on the

compressed driveline.

e. If compressed driveline dimension

exceeds the machine dimension, driveline will have to be cut.

2. When cutting the driveline, follow this procedure:

a. Subtract machine dimension (A) from

uncut driveline dimension (B) or (B-A). This dimension determines how much

too long the driveline is.

b. Add another 1 inch (25 mm) to the

dimension to be sure it doesn’t bottom out, to determine (C) the cut off dimension.

c. Use a hacksaw to cut dimension (C) from

both ends. Cut both plastic tubes and metal cores.

d. Use a le to remove burrs from edges

that were cut.

e. Assemble the 2 ends of the shaft.
