SECTION 1 SAFETY SUMMARY 1.1 General Safety Notices Installation and servicing of Genset equipment can be hazardous due to system belts, radiator fan, and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or service Genset equipment. When working on Genset equipment, observe all potential Danger, Warning and Caution hazards, including those shown below and on hazard labels attached to the unit.

WARNING Beware of moving poly V-belt, belt driven components and hot exhaust components. WARNING Under no circumstances should ether or any other unauthorized starting aids be used in con- junction with the air intake heater. WARNING Beware of pinch points. WARNING Do not use gasoline to clean air cleaner parts.

CAUTION Always cover the engine inlet tube while the air cleaner is being serviced. CAUTION Do not underfill or overfill the oil bath cups. Overfilling of cups causes loss of capacity; under- filling cups causes lack of filtering efficiency. CAUTION Continued operation with failed shockmounts may result in engine or generator damage.
SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION 2.1 Introduction The Carrier Transicold model 69UG15 diesel-driven generator set (see Figure 2.1) provides a constant electrical power supply for all-electric refrigeration units. The 69UG15 is an under-mounted unit secured to the frame rails of the container trailer chassis.
2.2 Configuration Identification Generator set identification information is provided on a unit nameplate located next to the access service door (front facing). The label provides the generator set model number, serial number, and parts identification number (PID). The model number identifies the overall configuration while the PID provides information on specific optional equipment and differences in detailed parts.
2.3 Alternating Current Generator The Alternating Current (AC) Generator (see Figure 2.4) bolts directly to the engine and supplies nominal 50/60Hz power depending on the load requirement. Generator sets will start at 50Hz. Once the unit is running, the voltage controller will read the voltage output of the generator and adjust accordingly to keep the voltage within ISO limits.
2.4.1 Engine Fuel System The engine fuel system (see Figure 2.5) is a closed circuit that injects a precise amount of atomized fuel into the engine cylinders. A mechanical lift pump initially transfers fuel at low pressure from the fuel tank and through the fuel shutoff valve. Fuel exits the lift pump and is pushed into the fuel filter / water separator to remove water and finer particles.
The engine requires all air to be removed the system in order to run at optimal performance. The fuel system contains a fuel pump primer on the mechanical lift pump and an air bleed screw after the injection pump, if bleeding air from the system is required.
2.4.3 Engine Lubrication System The engine lubrication system (see Figure 2.8) keeps the engine running smoothly, providing a supply of lubricat- ing oil to the various moving parts in the engine. The main function is to enable the formation of a film of oil between moving parts, to reduce friction and wear.
2.4.4 Engine Air Cleaner System The engine air cleaner system (see Figure 2.9) utilizes a filter element to filter the engine intake air. The air cleaner is designed to effectively remove contaminants from the air stream, resulting in prolonged engine life and reduced wear on all engine operating parts.
2.4.5 Engine Cooling System The engine cooling system (see Figure 2.10) uses extended life coolant and a radiator to keep the engine from overheating. The radiator transfers the heat from the engine coolant to the surrounding air. The water pump and the radiator cooling fan are belt-driven from the engine crankshaft.
2.5 Battery and Battery Charging System The battery provides 12 VDC power to the starter motor. It also provides the initial voltage for the Intake Heater until the unit starts. The solid state battery charger is located in front of the battery. The battery charger is powered by the generator, and this input is protected by fuses located in the receptacle box.

Table 5–1 Preventative Maintenance Actions and Schedule Perform Perform Perform Manual Procedure During every 2000 every 4000 Reference Pre-Trip hrs service hrs service 20. Tighten engine and generator mounting bolts. Section 5.6.2 21. Tighten all electrical connections in control box. 22.
5.3 Battery Service When replacing the battery, determine whether the unit was supplied with a mat in the battery tray. If so equipped, the mat must also be replaced. 5.4 Engine Service and Components The unit is equipped with a mechanical fuel pump (see Figure 5.1) mounted on the engine next to the injection pump.
5.4.3 Fuel Filter The fuel filter is located on the generator set frame (see Figure 2.5). 1. To replace the fuel filter, loosen and remove the filter housing. 2. Lightly oil new gasket with lube oil. 3. 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 24 N-m.
3. Apply Teflon thread sealer to the threads of the new LOP switch. 4. Install the new LOP switch. 5. Reconnect harness connection to the low oil pressure switch. 5.4.8 Engine Speed 1. The engine speed is electronically controlled. Do not attempt to adjust engine speed. 5.4.9 Replacing the Engine Speed Sensor 1.
1. Check all connections for mechanical tightness. Be sure the air cleaner outlet pipe is not fractured. 2. In case of leakage, if adjustment does not correct the problem, replace necessary parts or gaskets. Swollen or distorted gaskets must always be replaced. Air Filter Indicator The air filter indicator, used with the dry element filter, is mounted on the unit frame and connected to the engine air intake.
CAUTION Do not underfill or overfill the oil bath cups. Overfilling cups causes loss of capacity; underfill- ing cups causes lack of filtering efficiency. Figure 5.3 Air Cleaner, Oil Bath 1) Air Inlet Hood 4) Inner Oil Cup 2) Air Cleaner Body 5) Gasket 3) Cap Clamp 6) Oil Cup...
5.4.12 Engine Crankcase Breather The engine uses a closed type breather (see Figure 5.4) with the breather line attached to the cylinder head cover. It is not necessary to disassemble valve style elements for cleaning. However, the bleed hole should be checked for obstructions.
5. Install the new heater with a new gasket on either side. 6. Assemble transition to heater and torque mounting hardware (refer to engine manual for torque values). 7. Reconnect the harness to heater connection point. 8. Coat the stud on the heater with protective coating. 5.4.15 Intake Heater Switch (HS) 1.
12. Back off about 25mm, but do not remove the engine shockmount 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 away from the unit frame.
Figure 20. Apply Loctite 262 to the generator coupler bolt. Install with washer and torque to 38 N-m (28 ft-lbs). See 5.7. NOTE In order to torque generator torsional dampener gear bolt, use a strap wrench or similar device to secure the dampener while torquing the bolt.
24. Once aligned, push the generator to fully seat the torsional dampener into the aluminum housing of the flywheel adaptor plate. 25. With the torsional dampener seated into the aluminum housing, the alignment bolts (2) can be removed, and the generator mounting bolts (12) can be reinstalled. Torque to 34 Nm (25 ft-lb). Install several mounting bolts to secure the generator before removing the alignment bolts.

Cut the wire-tie supporting the receptacle box to the unit frame and re-secure the receptacle box to the unit frame using bolts and washers (6).
5.6.2 Check and Replace Isolators / Shockmounts CAUTION Continued operation with failed shockmounts may result in engine or generator damage. When a shockmount has been cut, split, abraded or has flared due to normal deterioration, it must be replaced. Damage to the mounts may not be visible when installed and under load from the component.
5.7 Unidrive Torque Requirements Extensive damage may occur if the proper hardware is not used and/or proper procedures are not followed when working with the unidrive assembly. Periodic inspection of hardware and bolt torque is recommended to ensure the integrity of the unidrive. Torque value and hardware requirements for unidrive assembly are provided in Figure 5.14.
