When it is necessary to remove a component on an angle, remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle between the supporting members and the object becomes less than 90 degrees. Eyebolts and brackets should never be bent and should only be loaded in tension.
Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Lift the engine by using an adjustable lifting beam. All supporting members (chains and cables) should be parallel to each other, and as near perpendicular as possible to the top of the object being lifted.To remove the engine ONLY, use the lifting eyes equipped with the engine. Lifting eyes are designed for the arrangement as sold and the end user is responsible for providing lifting devices. Alterations to lifting eyes and/or arrangement weight make the lifting eyes and devices obsolete. If you make alterations to the engine package as sold, you are responsible for providing adequate lifting devices.Engine Lifting With Generator (Package)
To remove the engine and generator together, refer to the lifting films located on the engine and generator package. See your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding fixtures and lifting devices for proper lifting of your engine package.Engine Storage
These instructions and recommendations will safeguard the possibility of engine damage if the engines are in storage for one year or less.If the engine will not be or has not been started for several weeks, the lubricating oil will drain from the cylinder walls and piston rings.If an engine remains out of service and its use is not immediately planned, special precautions should be taken. Rust can form on the cylinder liner surface, which will increase engine wear and may result in shorter engine life.To prevent this problem from becoming excessive, be sure all lubrication recommendations mentioned in the Maintenance Schedule are completed.After one year, a complete protection procedure must be followed if the engine is kept in storage longer.If it will be impossible to start the engine periodically, consult your Caterpillar dealer for instructions to prepare your engine for longer storage periods.If an engine remains out of service and its use is not immediately planned, special precautions should be taken. Refer to Storage Procedures For Caterpillar Products, SEHS9031 for more detailed information on engine storage.To prevent excessive engine wear:Be sure all lubrication recommendations mentioned in the Maintenance Schedule intervals chart are completed.If freezing temperatures can be expected, check the cooling system for adequate protection against freezing. A 50/50 solution of Caterpillar permanent-type antifreeze and approved water will give protection below -29°C (-20°F).Generator Storage Procedure
When servicing or repairing electric power generation equipment:Make sure the unit is off-line (disconnected from utility and/or other generators power service), and either locked out or tagged DO NOT OPERATE1.Remove all fuses.Make sure the generator engine is stopped.Make sure all batteries are disconnected.Make sure all capacitors are discharged.Failure to do so could result in personal injury or death.Make sure residual voltage in the rotor, stator and the generator is discharged.
1DO NOT OPERATE tags, SEHS7332, are available from your Caterpillar dealer. When a generator is in storage for any length of time, moisture condenses in the windings. Minimize the condensation by use of a dry storage space and space heaters. Refer to step 2 below.After Storage
Test the main stator windings with a megohmmeter in the following situations: 1. Before initial startup of generator set.2. Every 3 months* if generator is operating in a humid environment. 3. If generator has not been run under load for 3 months* or more.*This is a guideline only. It may be necessary to inspect frequently if environment is extremely humid or salty. To Remove Moisture
To remove moisture caused by high humidity, use one of the following methods to make the generator dry.Drying may be accomplished by external heat, internal heat, a combination of internal and external heat, or circulating current. External heat (do not exceed 75°C [167°F]) is the most desirable method. Insulation drying time can vary from a few hours to several days depending on the moisture content and the drying process used.
Drying sometimes does not produce the required results. It may be necessary for the generator to be dipped and baked by a qualified rebuild shop.
* Energize space heaters in generator, if equipped. * Space heaters of the same type used in marine applications, can be installed on generators. (See the Parts Manual.) These heaters heat the windings to remove moisture and should be connected at all times in high humidity conditions whenever the generator is not running.The megohmmeter test is described in Service Manual for SR4 Generators or Special Instruction, SEHS9124, Cleaning and Drying of Caterpillar Electric Set Generators, or contact your Caterpillar dealer.
