The clutch nut must be tight enough to prevent clutch slippage when raising the tower and loose enough so that the clutch does slip if the tower should come in contact with some overhead obstruction or be extended past the upper limit switch which would cause the tower to stop against the dead stop bolt.

  • Page 14: Specifications

    SPECIFICATIONS  Low oil pressure and high engine temperature shut-downs are standard equipment. Both The Kubota, CAT, and Lombardini diesel are equipped with glow plug cold start as- sist as standard equipment. NOTE: See the appropriate section of this manual for cold weather starting instructions or consult the Operators Manual for your particular engine application.
  • Page 15 SPECIFICATIONS GENERATOR  7.5 kw and 8 kw models available  60 hz and 50 hz models available FUEL REQUIREMENTS Use a clean No. 2 Diesel fuel oil (SAE J313 JUN87) according to ASTM D975. Do not use alternative fuel, because its quality is unknown or it may be inferior in quality,and kerosene, which is very low in cetane rating, adversely effects the engine.
  • Page 16 SPECIFICATIONS TRAILER The engine-generator set is housed in a bunded two wheel trailer fabricated from heavy gauge steel. The design enables the trailer to contain the outriggers in a simple, com- pact position. MAST When the mast is in the operating position it is located in the middle of a three point outrigger system for optimum balance and stability.
