SECTION 1 SAFETY SUMMARY GENERAL SAFETY NOTICES The following general safety notices supplement the specific warnings and cautions appearing elsewhere in this manual. They are recommended precautions that must be understood and applied during operation and mainte- nance of the equipment covered herein. The general safety notices are presented in the following three sections labeled: First Aid, Operating Precautions and Maintenance Precautions.
SPECIFIC HAZARD STATEMENTS The statements that follow are applicable to the generator set and appear elsewhere in this manual. These recom- mended precautions must be understood and applied during operation and maintenance of the equipment covered herein. WARNING To prevent injury, the procedures provided for installation and removal of the generator set must be followed carefully.

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 meg- ger. A high megger reading indicates good insulation. CAUTION Observe proper polarity when installing the battery or connecting a battery charger, the nega- tive battery terminal must be grounded.
Page 12
The generator/engine must be slightly lifted off of the unit frame in order to provide enough clearance for the generator support plate to slide back, away from the engine. Although the generator drive gear and fly wheel adapter plate will normally keep the generator coupled to the engine, even without the bolts, it is safest to remove the lower generator bolts first, in case the generator shifts and falls during bolt removal.
Carrier Transicold’s Ecodriven dual speed option provides an energy saving alternative to the practice of continu- ously running the generator at full speed. This speed reduction results in increased fuel economy, reduced carbon footprint, and lowers operating costs.

ENGINE The engine is a vertical, in-line four cylinder diesel engine that is directly connected to the alternating current gen- erator. Information on the major engine systems is provided in the remainder of this chapter. 2.3.1 Electronic Governor Module The electronic governor module (EG) is a solid state control module preprogrammed for 1800 RPM high speed and 1500 RPM low speed operation.

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 heater are protected by circuit breakers. 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, inter- rupt the fuel flow to the engine and stop the engine.

3.1.2 Removal WARNING Disconnect power plug before removing generator set. 1. Move forks into fork pockets on generator set. Attach safety chain (A) between fork pockets on generator set and fork truck. 2. Release locking brackets (D) on each side of generator set. 3.
3.2.1 Installation 1. Place forks into fork pockets of generator set. Attach safety chain (A) between fork pockets on generator set and fork truck. Be sure chain (A) is short enough to retain generator set on forks. Ensure that generator set clamps (B) are in the unlocked position and actuating handle (C) in the horizontal position.
8. Drain water from fuel filter bowl. 9. Fill fuel tank with diesel fuel. (Refer to Section 2.11, Fuel and Fuel Heater Thermostat (FHT).) 10. Check intake heater amperage. (Refer to Section 2.11, Intake Heater.) 11. Check battery terminals for cleanliness and secureness. If required, clean, then coat with a battery terminal sealant.
4. With the intake heater switch held in the PREHEAT position, place the ignition switch in the START position. 5. 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 oil pressure safety switch (approximately 5 seconds). When released, the intake heater switch will automatically return to the OFF position and the heater will remain energized for 3 minutes.
Page 32
Once the engine has started and the start switch has been released, the starter motor will stop cranking and the intake heater will remain energized for 3 minutes. With the engine running, the battery charger provides DC power to operate the control system and charge the battery. Units with Auto Restart When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, 12-volt DC power is applied to the auto restart module.

SECTION 5 SERVICE AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION This section covers service for the generator set and general engine service. Refer to the Kubota engine workshop Section 2.1) for other engine servicing. manual (refer to WARNING Beware of moving poly V-belt and belt driven components. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Table 5–1.
BATTERY CHARGER SERVICE PIDs prior to RG2059 are equipped with a battery charger mounted on the generator. If so equipped, when replac- ing the battery charger ensure the cables are NOT touching anything to prevent the wire chaffing with the following: 1.
Figure 5.4 Battery Harness (PIDs prior to RG2059) Minimum of 0.25 in Minimum of 0.25 in (6.4mm) from Edge (6.4mm) from Edge ENGINE SERVICE AND COMPONENTS 5.5.1 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.
Figure 5.5 Mechanical fuel Pump Hand Priming Pump Filter Copper Rings Banjo 5.5.3 Fuel Filter The fuel filter is located on the generator set unidrive assembly (see Figure 2.2). To replace the fuel filter, loosen and remove the filter housing. Lightly oil new gasket with lube oil and replace the filter. If the generator set is equipped with the fuel filter bowl assembly, when replacing the fuel filter, a new fuel filter O-ring should be oiled and replaced, and then the clear bowl should also be tightened to 18 ft-lbs.
5. Run engine to operating temperature. Drain system again and fill with treated water/anti-freeze. (See above Section 2.11.) Caution note and refer to 5.5.6 Lube Oil Filter The oil filter is located near the radiator fan (see Figure 2.5). 1. After warming up the engine, stop engine, remove drain plug from oil reservoir and drain engine lube oil. 2.
The poly V-belt is driven by a sheave on the engine crankshaft. Its two functions are to: • drive the radiator fan • 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.
Air Cleaner, Oil Bath Service Procedure The oil cup should be inspected during pretrip, before each trip. Never allow more than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of dirt deposit in the cup. More than 1/2 inch accumulation could result in oil and dirt carrying over into the engine, caus- ing accelerated engine wear.
Figure 5.8 Engine Crankcase Breather Screw Breather Valve Breather Cover Breather Tube Bleed Hole 5.5.13 Intake Heater Test 1. Disconnect the lead from the heater terminal (positive). 2. Measure the resistance between the heater positive terminal and the heater body. 3.
13. Remove the bolt/washer (1) that secures the ground wire to the generator. 14. Back off (about 1”), but do not remove the engine shock mount bolts. This will allow the engine/generator to be slightly lifted off of the unit frame. The generator/engine must be slightly lifted off of the unit frame in order to provide enough clearance for the generator support plate to slide back, away from the engine.
