SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Carrier Transicold model 69UG15 under--mounted
diesel--driven generator sets provide electrical power
for all--electric refrigeration units.
The generator set (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2)
consists of a diesel engine direct--connected to an
alternating current generator and mounted in a
structural steel frame. The engine is a vertical in--line,
four cylinder diesel manufactured by Kubota, while the
generator is a 15 kW, brushless, single bearing type
manufactured by Lima. The generator provides a
constant 460 or 230 VAC, three--phase, 60 hertz
electrical supply.
Electrical controls are mounted in a control box with
operating controls and gauges mounted on a control
panel, which also serves as the control box cover. The
control panel components are protected by a deflector
assembly or a windowed control box door.
Auxiliary engine equipment consists of the battery, solid
state battery charging system, “spin-- on” lube oil filter,
fuel filter and other necessary components for proper
unit operation. The water pump and the radiator cooling
fan are belt--driven from the engine crankshaft. All
references to engine are as viewed from the fly wheel
end.
The 69UG15 is available as a standard configuration,
with an Auto Restart option or with Auto Restart and Low
Coolant Sensor. The Auto Restart option automatically
restarts the unit in the event of a unit shutdown. Auto
Restart also offers built--in indicators that signal low oil
pressure, high water temperature, overspeed, and
other overcrank conditions.
1.2 CONFIGURATION IDENTIFICATION
Generator set identification information is provided on a
label located below the left mounting pad to the left of the
access service door (front facing). The label provides
the generator set model number, serial number, and
parts identification number (PID). The model number
identifies the overall configuration, while the PID
provides information on specific optional equipment.
Separately bound manuals covering the diesel engine
are also available (see the following chart).

1.3 ENGINE
The engine is a vertical, in--line four cylinder diesel
engine, which is direct--connected to the alternating
current generator. Information on the major engine
systems is provided in the following subparagraphs.
1.3.1 Electronic Governor Module
The electronic governor module is a solid state control
module preprogrammed for 1800 RPM. The electronic
governor module, along with the engine speed sensor,
replaced the manual governor in order to provide a
constant engine speed.
1.3.2 Engine Air System
The air cleaner (Item 11, Figure 1-1) is designed to
prolong engine life and performance by preventing dirt
and grit from entering the engine and causing excessive
wear on all operating parts. In order for the air filter to
operate properly, the operator must regularly maintain
the air cleaner equipment in accordance with the
instructions provided within this document.
1.3.3 Lube Oil Filter Arrangement
The engine lubricating oil filter is mounted in a horizontal
arrangement and shown in Figure 1-4.
1.3.4 Fuel System
The fuel system is fitted with an in--line pre--filter and a
fuel filter, which also acts as a water separator. The filter
is also fitted with a heater. The fuel system is shown in
Figure 1-3.

1.5 ALTERNATING CURRENT GENERATOR
1.5.1 Principle of Operation
The Marathon Alternator Company (Lima) brushless
ACgenerator(seeFigure 1-2,item9)isa
self--regulated, rotating field synchronous unit. The
generator stator and exciter stator are combined in a
common housing. The generator field, exciter rotor, and
rotating rectifier assembly are mounted on a common
shaft. The output of the exciter rotor is applied to the
generator field winding through a rotating, full--wave
bridge, silicon rectifier unit.
All connections between the exciter stator windings and
the generator stator windings are internal within the
stator housing. Only the output power leads are
connected at the terminal box, which is located on top of
the generator.
1.5.2 Alternating Current Generator Diagram
Figure 1-5 shows the internal schematic diagram of the
generator, exciter, and rectifier unit. The generator is a
three--phase unit, and the exciter stator and exciter rotor
also have three--phase windings. A portion of the exciter
stator windings is connected across a tap on the
generator stator winding. This exciter shunt winding
provides the generator field excitation power required
for the generator no--load voltage. Another portion of the
exciter stator windings is connected in series with the
output of the generator and provides a compounding
excitation characteristic.
Figure 1-3 Fuel System Diagram
1--5
T-343
The rotor is, in effect, the secondary of a rotating current
transformer induction frequency converter. The exciter
rotor output voltage is applied to the generator field
windings by a three--phase, full wave rotating silicon
rectifier unit. The response time of the excitation system
is very fast as the exciter stator carries an alternating
current corresponding to the load current that appears
immediately on the exciter primary. An increase in load
current will cause an immediate increase in the exciter
secondary output voltage, which is rectified and applied
tothegeneratorfieldwindings.Theinherent
compounding characteristics of the excitation system
provide excellent voltage regulation even under heavy
overload conditions.

CAUTION
Observeproper polarity when installing the
batteryor connecting a battery charger. The
negativebatteryterminalmustbe
grounded. Reverse polarity may damage
the charging system. When charging the
battery in unit, isolate the battery by
disconnecting the negative batteryterminal
first, then the positive. Once the battery has
been charged, connect the positive battery
terminal first, then the negative.
1.6 BATTERY CHARGER
The solid state battery charger (see Figure 1-2) is
located to the left of the radiator. The charger is powered
by the generator, and this input is protected by a circuit
breaker located on the control panel. The battery
charger produces a tapered charge (25 amps
maximum) and is designed not to overcharge the
battery.
1.7 OPERATING CONTROLS AND
INSTRUMENTS
1.7.1 Introduction
Components required for monitoring and controlling the
unit are located in the control box, on the control panel
(see Figure 1-6) and on the receptacle box (see
Figure 1-1).
1.7.2 Control Panel and Related Components
a. Gauges and Senders
1. Oil Pressure Gauge (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7,
Figure 1-8)
The purpose of this gauge is to observe normal
operating engine oil pressure. Normal oil pressure is 35
to 60 psig (3.3 to 5.2 kg/cm
2
).
2. Oil Pressure Sender (see Figure 1-4)
This device senses engine lube oil pressure and
transmits a signal to the oil pressure gauge. The oil
pressure sender is located on the oil filter housing.
3. WaterTemperatureGauge(seeFigure 1-6,
Figure 1-7, Figure 1-8)
The function of this gauge is to observe water operating
temperature. The gauge is connected to the water
temperature sender.
4. Water Temperature Sender (see Figure 1-2)
This device senses engine water temperature and
transmits a signal to the water temperature gauge.
5. Low Coolant Sensor (see Figure 1-2)
This device senses the coolant level inside the radiator
and will complete a conductive circuit as long as the
probes remain immersed in coolant. When the coolant
level falls below the probes, a signal will be sent to the
auto restart module, shutting down the engine and all
12--volt circuitry.
6. Auto Restart Module
Auto start/restart is provided to simplify the start--up
process and provide an automatic restart feature that
will automatically attempt to restart the unit in the event
of shutdown. Four LEDs are used to indicate shutdown
from overcrank, overspeed, low oil pressure, and high
water temperature. A fifth LED is used to indicate the
unit is running. Refer to Table 1-2 for system preset
values.
The auto restart function will perform a series of six
attempts to restart the unit and make three attempts
within each series. Once the function has completed all
18 attempts, the unit will automatically lock out future
crank attempts. Refer to T able 1-3 for detailed
information on auto restart sequencing.
1--6T-343
b. Meters
1. Ammeter (A)
The ammeter (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7, Figure 1-8) is
an indicator of the charging system and unit electrical
draw. It indicates the rate of discharge or charge of the
battery. During start up, the intake heater draws
approximately 42 amps.
2. Total Time Meter (TT)
The total time meter (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7,
Figure 1-8) calculates the total hours and provides an
accurate readout of accumulated engine running time.
This data can be used to establish the proper periodic
maintenance schedule (refer to Section 4.1).
The intake heater switch is of the momentary type.
When held in the PREHEAT position, the switch allows
approximately 42 amps of battery current to flow into the
intake heater, which preheats the air within the intake
manifold and allows the engine to start. After starting the
engine, the intake heater switch should continue to be
held in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds until
the engine has developed enough oil pressure to close
the oil pressure safety switch.
2. Ignition Switch (IGN) (see Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7)
The ignition switch is of the momentary type to be used
in the OFF/ON/STAR T positions. When held in the
START (ignition) position, it energizes the starter motor
solenoid, which in turn allows the starter motor to crank
the engine. The switch is released to the RUN position
once the engine has started.
3. Ignition Switch (IGN)(Auto Restart) (see Figure 1-8)
The ignition switch is of the maintained contact type to
be used in the RUN/OFF positions. When switched to
the RUN position, it energizes the control module, which
in turn controls all functions of the genset.
1.8 SAFETY DEVICES
Safety devices, such as circuit breakers, fuses, and
safety switches, protect system components from
damage.
The AC generator, solid state battery charger, fuel
heater, high water temperature, safety relay, total time
meter and intake air heater are protected by circuit
breakers. If a safety device opens and there is an
interruption of electrical current, the electronic governor
modulewillbede--energized,whichwillalso
de--energize the fuel solenoid, interrupt the fuel flow to
the engine and stop the engine.
In units with auto restart, the engine, engine control
devices, and engine monitoring devices are protected
by the auto restart module, low coolant sensor (if
equipped), circuit breaker, low oil pressure switch, and
high water temperature switch. These safety devices
monitor system operating conditions and open a set of
electrical contacts when an unsafe condition occurs. If a
safety device opens and there is an interruption of
electrical current, the electronic governor module will be
de--energized, which will also de--energize the fuel
solenoid, interrupt the fuel flow to the engine and stop
the engine.
De--energizing the fuel solenoid shuts off the fuel supply
to the engine; thus stopping the engine. Safety device
specifications are provided in Table 1-4.

2.3.2 Starting Instructions
WARNING
Beware of moving poly V-belt, belt driven
components and hot exhaust components.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should ether or
any other unauthorized starting aids be
used in conjunction with the air intakeheater.
NOTE
Piston rings in engines that have operated less
than 100 hours may not be fully seated. This
may lead to the possibility of oil seepage from
the exhaust pipe. To properly seat the rings, operate the engine under full load for a period of 24
hours. If the condition persists, check valve
clearance when the engine is cold. (Refer to engine workshop manual listed in paragraph 1.2).
a. Standard Units
1. Hold intake heater switch (see Figure 1-6) in the
PREHEAT position. Suggested hold times for a cold
engine are as follows:
COLD ENGINE PREHEAT TIMES
Ambient TemperatureTime
78 F/ 26 C5 seconds
32Fto78F
(0Cto26C)
18Fto32F
(--8Cto26C)
Below18F/-8C30 seconds
2. With the intake heater switch held in the PREHEAT
position, place the ignition switch in the START position.
3. After the engine has started, continue to hold the intake heater switch in the PREHEAT position until the
engine develops sufficient oil pressure to close the
oilpressuresafetyswitch(approximately5
seconds). When released, the intake heater switch
will automatically return to the OFF position and the
heater will remain energized for 3 minutes.
b. Units with Auto Start
1. Place the Ignition switch (IGN) in the RUN position.
2. If the low coolant sensor (LCS) is immersed in coolant, the auto restart module will energize the heater
for 30 seconds and the safety buzzer will sound. After the 30 second delay , the unit will attempt to start.
2.3.3 Post-Start Inspection
a. Turn on CB-1 for 460 volt units or CB4 for 230 volt
units.
b. Check generator output with a voltmeter. In the no
load condition, output should be at 490 (+/- 10%)
volts with 1800 engine RPM. Place generator set
main circuit breaker in the ON position. Start refrigeration unit.
c. Run engine 10 minutes (check total time meter op-
eration).
d. Listen for abnormal bearing noise (AC generator).
e. Check fuel lines, lube oil lines, and filters for leaks.
f. Check exhaust system for leaks.
2.3.4 Stopping Instructions
Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.

2.4 CONTROL CIRCUIT OPERATION
WARNING
Beware of moving poly V-Belt and belt driven components.
2.4.1 Sequence of Operation
a. Standard Units
With the intake heater switch (IH) held in the ON
position, current flows through the ammeter to the
intake heater. While heater is on, the ammeter will show
a 40--amp draw.
A second set of contacts also energizes the safety relay
(S).
If the high water temperature switch (HWT) opens to
break the safety relay ground connection, the safety
relay will not energize, and the engine will not start,
To start the engine, the ignition switch (IGN) is held in
the START position. With the switch in the START
position, current flows to the start solenoid (SS), through
the SS contacts to the starter motor (SM). Current then
flows to the intake heater timer, intake heater relay (IHR)
and to the heater, while simultaneously powering the
electronic governor module (EG), fuel solenoid (FS),
and engine speed sensor (ESS).
The starter motor turns over the engine resulting in
pumping of fuel to the engine cylinders by the injection
pump. This fuel is ignited by heat of compression; thus
starting the engine. When the engine has developed
sufficient oil pressure, the low oil pressure switch
contacts close to maintain power to the safety relay.
Once the engine has started, the intake heater will
remain energized for 3 minutes.
The ignition switch (IGN) will be released. The intake air
heater switch (IH) will be held for 5 seconds, then
released after the IGN switch is realeased. When the
START switch is released, the starter will be
disengaged.
With the engine running, the battery charger provides
DC power to operate the control system and charge the
battery.
b. Units with Auto Start
When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position,
12-volt DC power is applied to the low coolant sensor
(LCS) and the auto restart module simultaneously. If the
coolant level is below the sensor, all the indicator lights
on the auto restart module will blink once and the LCS
will open the contacts on the low coolant relay,
de-energizing the unit’s 12-volt DC circuitry. If the
coolant level is above the sensor, the auto restart
module will maintain power and all lights on the module
will illuminate. As the module performs its self test, the
lights will go out individually.
After the self test is complete, the module will energize
the intake heater and sound the audible alarm warning,
indicating that the unit has been powered on and will
start. The 30--second delay starts at this time. When the
30--second delay expires, power will be applied to the
electronic governor and the engine attempts to crank for
15 seconds.
When the engine starts, the intake heater will remain
energized for 3 minutes; during this time, the
engine/intake heater light and alarm will be energized,
the shutdown/lockout time delay of 15 seconds will
begin counting, and the starter will be disengaged.
During the shutdown/lockout time delay at start up, the
auto restart module will disregard the signals to the oil
pressure and engine temperature inputs, and the Run
sequence will begin (see Restart Procedure). If engine
does not start, refer to Table 1.3 for auto restart
sequencing.

4.4 ENGINE SERVICE AND COMPONENTS
4.4.1 Bleeding the Fuel System
The unit is equipped with a mechanical fuel lift pump,
mounted on the engine next to the injection pump. The
fuel system is a closed circuit, which will require
bleeding if loss of fuel has occurred. To fill and bleed the
system, do the following:
1. Turn fuel bleed valve (Red, see Figure 1-3) counterclockwise until fully opened.
2. Turn the top of the manual priming pump (see
Figure 4-1) counter-clockwise to unlock it, and then
rapidly hand pump the manual plunger until a positive pressure (resistance) is felt. This will indicate
fuel flow.
3. Depress and turn the top of the manual priming
pumpclockwisetolockinplace.
4. Start engine. (Refer to section 2.3).
5. When engine is running properly, turn fuel bleed
valve clockwise until fully closed.
4.4.2 Servicing Fuel Pump Internal Filter
The internal fuel filter may become plugged or restricted
with foreign particles or wax, which can develop if the
wrong grade of fuel is used or untreated fuel is used in
cold weather, contaminating the fuel. If the internal filter
is plugged, the engine will lose power. Therefore, the
filter must be cleaned on a regular basis. The quality of
the fuel will affect the filter cleaning schedule (refer to
section 4.2).
1. Turn nut (item 1) counter-clockwise to loosen and remove.
2. Remove banjo fitting (item 2) and let it hang loose,

b. Replacing the Low Coolant Sensor (LCS)
1. Loosen the radiator drain pet cock and drain coolant
to a point below the sensor into an approved
container.
2. Unplug the harness and remove sensor from
radiator header.
3. Apply Teflon thread tape or thread sealer to the LCS
threads and install sensor.
WARNING
Beware of pinch points.
NOTE
A frayed, cracked or worn poly V-belt must be
replaced. After installing a new belt, check the
adjustment after running the unit for three or
four hours. This will allow for the initial stretch,
which is common on new belts. Once this initial
stretch has taken place, the belt should be
checked at regular intervals.
The poly V -belt is driven by a sheave on the engine
crankshaft. Its two functions are: (1) to drive the radiator
fan and (2) to drive the water pump.
To replace the poly V-belt, perform the following steps:
1. Using the proper size socket, slowly rotate the crank
on the crank pulley nut. At the same time, use a flat,
blunt object to guide the belt off the crank pulley
towards radiator. Be careful not to damage grooves
on the pulley.
2. Replace the poly V-Belt by positioning the belt on the
water pump pulley, and while rotating the engine (as
in step 1), use a flat, blunt object to guide the belt
onto the crank pulley. Be careful not to damage
grooves on the pulley or belt.

4.4.13 Engine Air Cleaner
a. Inspection
The dry element or oil bath air cleaner should be
inspected regularly for leaks. A damaged air cleaner or
hose can seriously affect the performance and life of the
engine. The air cleaner is designed to effectively
remove contaminants from the air stream entering the
engine.Anexcessiveaccumulationofthese
contaminants in the air cleaner will impair its operation.
Therefore, a service schedule must be set up and
followed.
1. Check all connections for mechanical tightness. Be
sure the air cleaner outlet pipe is not fractured.
2. In case of leakage and if adjustment does not correct
the trouble, replace necessary parts or gaskets.
Swollen or distorted gaskets must always be
replaced.
b. Air Filter Indicator
The air filter indicator is mounted on the unit frame and
connected to the engine air intake. Its function is to
indicate when the air cleaner element requires
replacing. In operation: When a plugged air cleaner
decreases intake manifold pressure to 500 mm (20”)
WG, the indicator moves to the red line. The air cleaner
element should be replaced and the indicator reset by
pressing the reset button.
c. ServiceProcedure(DryElement)
1. Stop the engine, remove air cleaner and install a
new element. Refer to Figure 4-3.

4.5 SERVICING THE ALTERNATING CURRENT
GENERATOR
4.5.1 Preventative Maintenance and
Operating Precautions
Costly repairs and down time can usually be prevented
by operating electrical equipment under conditions that
are compatible with those under which the equipment
was designed. Follow the instructions outlined below to
insure maximum efficiency of the electrical equipment.
a. Cooling
Keep all cooling parts clean. DO NOT EXCEED
TEMPERATURE RISE OF 80C (176F) ABOVE A 40C
(104F) AMBIENT. This ensures that the NEMA Class“F” insulation will not be damaged. DO NOT EXCEED
RATED LOAD except as specified for the equipment.
OPERATE GENERATOR AT RATED SPEED. Failure
to operate generators at rated load or speed will cause
overheating and possible damage to windings due to
over voltage or current.
4. Breather
5. Breather Tube
alve
4--6T--343
b. Generator Windings (Drying)
WARNING
Do not direct water or steam into the
generator openings. Do not allow any soap
and water solutions to enter the alternator.
Should the generator fail to build up voltage after being
disassembled for any reason, a momentary short-circuit
of any two generator leads (L1, L2 and L3) while
generator is running should be sufficient to correct this
condition.
CAUTION
WARNING
High voltage (dielectric) testing must not be
performed to the machine without first
observing NEMA rules. The insulation of
this generator winding may be safely
checked by using a megger. A high megger
reading indicates good insulation.
Generators that have been in transit, recently steam
cleaned or in storage for long periods may be subjected
to extreme temperature and moisture changes. This
can cause excessive condensation, and the generator
windings should be thoroughly dried out before bringing
the generator up to full nameplate voltage. If this
precaution is not taken, serious damage to the
generator can result. The following steps should be
taken to effectively dry the generator windings:
1. Dry windings by placing generator in drying oven or
hot room, or dry with warm air blower directed
through windings.
2. If the generator has been operated and is being
placed into storage for any period of time, a P.D.
George #11127 type air-dry fungus resistant varnish
should be applied.
The finest insulation job can be very quickly broken
down by carelessly applying high voltage to windings in
a moisture saturated condition. Failure to follow these
guidelines could easily cause a breakdown, making it
necessary to return the generator to the factory for
repair.
c. Rotor Damage
If a rotor becomes defective, it should be returned to the
factory with full nameplate data. T o repair a rotor, the
special tooling and technique of the factory are
necessary and essential. Should a failure occur, Carrier
Transicold should be notified immediately and steps will
be taken to return the generator for service.
d. Terminal Strip Cleaning
Open terminal box. Remove dust and debris, and clean
terminal strip with wire brush. Reapply protective
coating.
4.5.2 Generator Repair/Test Procedures
a. Restoring Residual Magnetism
The direct current (DC) necessary to magnetize the
alternator field is obtained from the exciter. Initially, upon
starting the generator, current flow and voltage are
induced into the exciter armature by the magnetic lines
of force set up by the residual magnetism of the exciter
field poles.
Residual magnetism of the exciter field poles may be
lost or weakened by a strong neutralizing magnetic field
from any source, or if the generator is not operated for a
long period of time.
When trying to restore residual magnetism,
be sure to wear safety glasses and
non-conductive gloves. Use an insulated 12
gauge (or higher)jumper wire. Cut off all but
a few strands from both ends of the jumper
wire to help prevent fusing.
As an alternate method, apply either an alternating
current or a direct current voltage of approximately 20
volts to any two generator leads (L1, L2 and L3) while
generator is running. Do not make a positive
connection, but rather touch the leads together until the
generator voltage begins to rise, then remove. Insert a
30 ampere fuse into the circuit to prevent any damage in
case the build-up voltage is not removed quickly
enough. Reflash field if generator output voltage does
not build up.
b. Winding Insulation Testing
Continuity test results for the stator winding tests are
provided in the following table:

The rectifier diode assemblies can be tested, and if
damaged, replaced. Over current, over voltage, over
speed, or reverse currents can damage the assembly or
diodes. To remove the diode assemblies and perform
diode testing, do the following:
1. Remove the bearing cover by removing the four bolts
(see Figure 4-6). Both the bearing and diode
assemblies will be visible.

3. Remove the two cap screws that secure each diode
assembly to the exiter. Once this procedure is
complete, the diode assemblies are free for removal.
4. A forward diode should have a low resistance when
the + of an ohm meter is connected to the exciter
rotor lead connection (anode) and the - to the diode
bridge (cathode), and a high resistance when the
polarity of the ohmmeter is reversed.
5. A reverse diode should have a high resistance when
the + of an ohm meter is connected to the exciter
rotor lead connection (anode) and the - to the diode
bridge (cathode), and a low resistance when the
polarity of the ohmmeter is reversed.
6. If both resistances are high or both are low, the diode
is defective and the diode assembly should be
replaced.
4.5.3 Bearing Replacement
Whenoperatedundernormalconditions,
factory--lubricated shielded bearings will normally
provide years of trouble--free service. Excessive
bearing load and adverse environment conditions will
greatly shorten bearing life. To remove the bearings, do
the following:
1. Remove bearing cover (See Figure 4-6).
2. Remove bearing with a bearing or wheel puller.
3. Install new bearing. Ball bearings are pre-lubricated
and require no additional lubrication for the life of the
bearing.
4. Coat mating surface of bearing cover flange with
anti-corrosion compound (Tef-Gel, Carrier Part
Number 02-00083-00). Replace bearing cover.
4.5.4 Generator Removal and Installation
a. Removing the Generator
1. Remove covers and ground wire from frame of
generator set.
2. Remove connection box cover and disconnect
power leads.
3. Remove screen cover and generator exhaust baffle
from coupling end of generator.
4. Remove the six 8mm hex head bolts and washers
that secure the generator drive disc to the engine
flywheel. Turn bolts counter-clockwise with offset
wrench to start, then use flexible shaft and socket
assembly for removal of bolts.
5. Remove the twelve 3/8 inch hex head cap screws
and washers that secure generator frame to engine
flywheel housing.
6. Remove the four 5/8 inch bolts that secure the
generator mounting feet to the shockmount bracket,
then remove generator.
b. Installing the Generator
NOTE
For torque values refer to paragraph 4.7.
4--8T--343
The generator is a single bearing type, which means the
shaft end of the rotor floats. Before installing the
generator, rotate shaft and check if bearing rotates.
1. Brush anti-seize lubricant (lube-plate) on the face of
flywheel.
2. Move generator into position and line up with the
holes on housing and flywheel. If required, turn
crankshaft to align threaded holes in flywheel with
generator drive disc mounting holes.
CAUTION
The rotor should not be pulled out from the
alternator more than 0.75 inches. Damage
to the bearing and windings may result.
3. Start the 8mm bolts (by hand) through the disc plate
and into the flywheel. Once alignment is made
torque the six bolts.
4. Secure two of the housing bolts (3/8 inch) on the top
and bottom of the generator housing to draw the
mating flanges together.
5. Secure the remaining bolts and washers (3/8 inch);
torque the 12 bolts in a staggered pattern.
6. Install and torque generator mounting bracket bolts
(5/8 inch). Install screen cover, generator exhaust
baffle, power leads, ground wiring and generator
cover. Install new gasket when installing generator
connection box cover.
4.6 GENERAL GENERATOR SET MAINTENANCE
