INSTALLATION
RECEIVING YOUR MAGNAMAX
GENERATOR
Upon receipt of the generator, it is
recommended that it be carefully examined
for possible damage incurred in shipment.
The generator was given to the Freight
Company in good condition, and they are
responsible for the product from our dock to
yours. Any damage should be noted on the
freight bill before accepting the shipment.
Claims for damages must be promptly filed
with the Freight Company.
UNPACKING AND HANDLING
Read all instruction cards carefully. When
lifting, attach an overhead crane to the
lifting lugs on the generator frame. Apply
lifting forces in a vertical direction.
WARNING
THE LIFTING LUGS ON THE
GENERATOR ARE DESIGNED TO
SUPPORT THE GENERATOR ONLY.
DO NOT LIFT COMPLETE
GENERATOR SET BY MEANS OF
LIFTING DEVICES ON THE
GENERATOR. PERSONAL INJURY
OR QUIPMENT DAMAGE MAY
OCCUR.
STORAGE
In the event that the generator is not to be
installed on the prime mover immediately, it
is recommended that it be stored in a clean,
dry area that is not subject to rapid changes
in temperature and humidity. See
"STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS" for more
information.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Although the generator is carefully
inspected and tested in operation before it
leaves the factory, it is recommended the
unit be thoroughly inspected. The insulation
on the wire should be inspected and all bolts
should be checked for tightness.
Remove all shipping tapes, bags, blocks, and
skids, which are used to prevent vibration
and rotor movement during shipment. Dry,
low-pressure compressed air of
approximately 30 PSI (206 KPA) can be
used to blow out the interior of the
generator. In the case of two bearing
machines, it is possible to turn the rotor by
hand to make sure that it rotates smoothly
without binding.
If the machine has been in storage for a year
or longer it is recommended that it be
lubricated according to the lubrication
instructions and chart supplied in the
maintenance section.
If the machine has been exposed to damp,
humid conditions the insulation resistance
should be checked. Refer to the instructions
supplied in this manual.
GENERATOR MOUNTING - SINGLE
BEARING
Single bearing generators are provided with
an SAE flywheel adapter and flexible drive
discs. Very close tolerances are maintained
in the manufacture of the generator so that
the alignment procedure is extremely
simple. A coupling hub of nodular iron is
shrunk on the shaft and special steel drive
