803672 2 Mercury CRANKSHAFT, B

Receiving Inspection
If the generator is received during cold weather, allow the unit to reach room temperature before you remove the protective packing material. Warming the generator to room temperature will prevent the following problems:
Water condensation on cold surfaces
Early failures due to wet windings
Early failures due to wet insulating materialsUnpacking and Storage
Moving the Generator
Improper lift rigging can allow unit to tumble causing injury and damage.
Do not use the engine lifting eyes to remove the engine and generator together.
Unpack the equipment with care in order to avoid scratching painted surfaces. Move the unit to the mounting location. The unit can be moved by either of the following methods:
Attach an overhead crane to the eyebolts that are installed on the generator frame.
Use a lift truck in order to lift the generator.The hoist and the hoist cables should have a rating that is greater than the weight of the generator. When the unit is moved, ensure that the generator is completely supported by the lift truck fork tines. Also ensure that the generator is balanced on the lift truck fork tines. Slide the fork tines beneath the attached skid in order to lift the generator.Storage
Short Time Storage
If the generator is not installed immediately, store the generator in a clean area. This area should also have the following conditions: low humidity, stable humidity and stable temperature. Space heaters must be energized in order to keep condensation from the windings. All accessory equipment that is supplied with the unit should be stored with the generator. The combined unit should be covered with a durable cover in order to protect against the following contaminants:
Dust
Dirt
Moisture
Other airborne abrasive materialLong Time Storage
A storage period in excess of 6 months should be preceded by the following preparation:
Install desiccant bags inside the exciter's cover and install desiccant bags inside the screen of the fan.
Seal the unit in a covering of plastic or other material that has been designed for that purpose.
Adequately tag the generator. This will ensure that preservative greases and desiccant bags are removed before the unit is placed in operation.Bearing Inspection
Ball bearing generators use grease. This grease is subject to deterioration. If the generator is stored longer than 1 year, new ball bearings should be installed. These bearings should be greased to the proper level prior to being put into operation. If inspection indicates that bearings are free of rust or corrosion, and no noise or excessive vibration appear on start-up, replacement is not necessary.Location
The location of the generator must comply with all local regulations. The location of the generator must also comply with all special industrial regulations. Locate the generator in an area that meets the following requirements:
Clean
Dry
Well ventilated
Easily accessible for inspection and maintenanceAccess to the radiator filler cap is on the roof of the enclosure. There must be safe access to the roof of the enclosure. There must be sufficient clearance above the roof of the enclosure.Do not obstruct air inlet openings. Do not obstruct discharge openings. Air flow must reach these openings. If the generator is exposed to harsh environmental conditions, the generator can be modified in the field in order to add filters and space heaters. In addition, a more rigid periodic maintenance schedule should be established.Load Connections - Generator Set Output
For units equipped with T-frame breaker: Installer shall connect conductors in accordance with separate T-frame braker terminal insturction provided with unit. All conductors shall be rated 90° C (194° F) or greater.Batteries
Servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.When replacing batteries, use the same number and the following type batteries:Cat Premium High Output (PHO) Batteries
Standard battery is 115-2421, non-vented, BCI Group 31, Calcium Lead Alloy Grid Design with SAE PostsOversize battery is 9x-9730, vented, BCI Group 4D, Low Maintenance, Hybrid Construction
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery is capable of exploding.
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte has been know to be harmful to the skin and eyes and to be toxic.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects, 2) Use tools with insulated handles
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive.
It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures are to be observed:
Wear full eye protection and protective clothing,
Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water,
Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water and seek medical attention, and
Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of 1 lb (500 g) bicarbonate of soda to 1 US gal (4 L) of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.
