SECTION 2. PREPARATION FOR USE, STORAGE, OR SHIPPING
1. Preparation for Use
A. General
These instructions are based on the assumption that the tow tractor mounted unit is properly installed on
the tractor and that all necessary fuel and electrical connections have been made. Hobart Brothers Com-
pany does not build an aircraft tow tractor. Generator sets for tractor mounting are installed by the cus-
tomer, or tractor manufacturer. Other generator sets, when ordered with truck or trailer, are mounted at
the Hobart factory and are shipped in running condition and ready for operation after inspection and check.
WARNING: IMPROPER OPERATION CAN KILL, INJURE, OR CAUSE DAM-
AGE! READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 1-
3 BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT.
B. Inspection/Check
Inspect the unit thoroughly prior to operation.
(1) Remove blocking, banding, ties, and other securing material.
(2) Inspect exterior for shipping damage such broken lights, damaged sheet metal, etc.
(3) Open all canopy doors and inspect interior for foreign material such as rags, tools, shipping pa-
pers, etc.
(4) Check fuel, coolant, and oil hoses and connections for visible leaks. Visually inspect the compart-
ment floor and ground surface under the unit for signs of leakage. If leaks are found, correct by tight-
ening hose clamps, tube fittings, etc., as required.
(5) Check security of tractor mounted generator set retaining components (Sect. 2-1, Fig. 2).
(6) Check the following for sufficient quantity:
(a) Fuel
Turn ON panel lights to energize fuel gage when engine is stopped. (Tractor-mounted units are sup-
plied from the tow tractor tank.)
