Specific Flywheel Coupling Alignment Instructions; Driveshaft - Clarke C18H Instruction Manual

6) Connect fuel supply and return line to fuel
supply tank plumbing. Reference the Fuel
System section of the Installation and
Operation Data in (See clarkefire.com), for
piping size, maximum allowable fuel pump
suction, and maximum allowable fuel head
requirements. Fill supply tank with #2 diesel
fuel (ASTM D-975) or EN 590 diesel fuel,
bleed supply system of air and check for leaks.
CAUTION: Biodiesel fuel is not
recommended for stand-by equipment that
can have minimal fuel consumption (such as
standby generators, fire protection, etc.).
For standby applications, use only
petroleum based diesel fuel with Caterpillar
approved fuel conditioners/ additives. For
fuel conditioners/additives, check with your
local CAT dealer or Clarke. Fuel supply
level must meet applicable code requirements.
Do not use a copper based or galvanized
material for any component of a diesel fuel
system. The fuel will chemically react with the
zinc resulting in clogged fuel filters and
injector systems.
7) Remove protective covering on air filter
element.
8) Connect jacket water heater (if supplied) to
AC power source. For C18H Series, the
electrical supply requirements are indicated on
the connection box.
directly to the junction box at the end of the
heater only. Supply wiring should never be
routed through the engine gauge panel.
Severe damage to critical engine control
components could result. Energize heater only
after step #4 is completed.
9) Connect exhaust system to flexible connection
on the engine. The exhaust system plumbing
must be supported by the building structure
and not the engine. The exhaust flexible
connection is provided only for the purpose of
thermal expansion and vibration isolation, not
for misalignment or directional change.
10) Make electrical DC connections between the
engine gauge panel terminal strip (if supplied)
and the controller
manufacturer's instructions.
11) Fill batteries with electrolyte per battery
manufacturer's instructions. Connect cables
between engine and batteries only after
electrolyte is installed. Refer to the wiring
diagram inside the engine gauge panel cover
(if supplied), or appropriate wiring diagram
(see Page 5), for correct positive and negative
connections. Connect negative cables directly
Connect to the heater
per the controller
to the engine block. Connect each positive
cable to the large outer post of the manual
starting contactors.
12) Note: Clarke Operation and Maintenance
Instructions Manual, C137833, is located
inside the engine gauge panel.
13) Note: During commissioning of the engine,
the final speed setting must be performed on
both the Primary and Alternate ECM's. Refer
to section 3.6 Speed Adjustment.
14) IMPORTANT! To obtain prompt Warranty
Service and to comply with Emissions
Regulations, this engine must be registered to
the final installation name and address. To

2.4 SPECIFIC FLYWHEEL COUPLING
ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

2.4.1 Driveshaft

To check the alignment of the pump shaft and engine
crankshaft centerlines for proper Parallel Offset and
Angular tolerance, the drive shaft must be installed
between the flywheel and the flanged hub on the pump
shaft.
Before beginning the alignment checks and making
any necessary corrections, install the driveshaft and re-
torque all driveshaft connection bolts to the values
given in the following tables.
