rotor into the main stator. Without proper
care and equipment, the windings can be
easily damaged.

MISCELLANEOUS
A selection of wiring devices such as
electric connectors, tape, cable ties,
crimping and stripping tools, etc., should
also be a part of the generator service tool
kit. The standard regulator uses flat 1/4 inch
female insulated terminals for AWG #14
wire.
PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT
OR EXTENDED STORAGE
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
Shipping and handling will be much easier if
the generator is fastened to a suitable
shipping skid that will allow handling by a
forklift. The skid should extend beyond the
generator in all directions. If the original
skid is available it should be used. Marathon
Electric will supply shipping skid drawings
upon request.
Overseas shipping may require special
export crating. Check with your freight
carrier.
When installed, single bearing generator
rotors are supported on the drive end by the
drive discs bolted to the engine flywheel.
When the engine is removed, the rotor must
be supported by an appropriate fixture to
prevent main rotor, main stator or exciter
damage (Figure 11-1). Before shipping any
single bearing generator, the main rotor
must be supported by the adapter using an
appropriate fixture.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
If the generator is placed in storage, the
following precautions should be taken to
protect it:
A. Equipment must be kept clean.
1. Store indoors.
2. Keep covered to eliminate airborne dust
and dirt.
3. Cover openings for ventilation, conduit
connections, etc. to prevent entry of rodents,
snakes, birds, and insects, etc.
B. Equipment must be kept dry.
1. Store in a dry area indoor.
