CAUTION Use only ethylene glycol, anti-freeze (with inhibitors) in system. Use of glycol by itself will dam- age the cooling system. CAUTION Never open the radiator cap when the coolant is hot. CAUTION Always cover the engine inlet tube while the air cleaner is being serviced. CAUTION Do not underfill or overfill the oil bath cups.
All references to engine are as viewed from the fly wheel end. The 69UG15 is available as a standard configuration, with an Auto Restart option or with Auto Restart and Low Coolant Sensor. The Auto Restart option automatically restarts the unit in the event of a unit shutdown. Auto Restart also offers built-in indicators that signal low oil pressure, high water temperature, overspeed, and other overcrank conditions.

Figure 3.1, to ensure all items are not damaged and in place. It is recommended to use Carrier provided hardware. NOTE: Mounting bolts are Grade 5 steel with 3/4-10 UNC-2A threads. 2. Loosen the mounting bolts enough to push the mounting plates to the outermost position.

5. Lift the forks up so that both sides of the generator set mounts are touching the chassis I-beam. Chassis I-Beam Chassis I-Beam Generator Set 6. Slide the mounting plates fully onto the chassis I-beams and torque mounting bolts to a minimum of 200 ft- lbs (271 Nm), in a cross pattern.
NOTE: It is important to ensure the forklift is removed when checking torque on the genset. Keeping the forklift installed can cause a false torque reading due to the forks holding the unit down, possibly resulting in the unit not being properly secured to the chassis. If the genset is removed for PM or service, it is recommended that the hardware be sprayed with a rust inhibiting lubricant prior to re-installation.
3.2 Generator Set Removal 1. Disconnect the power cable to the generator set (if connected). 2. For Standard Mount: With a fork lift in position and safety chain attached, slide the mounting plates back sufficiently to clear the chassis. For Quick Mount: With fork lift in position and safety chain attached, loosen mounting bolts, and lift end of bolts out of slot to orient clamps to open position.
Piston rings in engines that have operated less than 100 hours may not be fully seated. This may lead to the possibility of oil seepage from the exhaust pipe. To properly seat the rings, operate the engine under full load for a period of 24 hours. If the condition persists, check valve clearance when the engine is cold.
3.3.4 Stopping Instructions 1. Place CB-1 in the OFF position. 2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position. 3.4 Sequence of Operation WARNING Beware of moving poly V-belt, belt driven components and hot exhaust components. 3.4.1 Standard Units With the intake heater switch (HS) held in the ON position, current flows through the ammeter to the intake heater. While the heater is on, the ammeter will show a 42-amp draw.

5.4.2 Servicing Fuel Pump Internal Filter The internal fuel filter may become plugged or restricted with foreign particles or wax, which can develop if the wrong grade of fuel is used or untreated fuel is used in cold weather, contaminating the fuel. If the internal filter is plugged, the engine will lose power.
1. After warming up the engine, stop the engine. Remove the drain plug from the oil reservoir and drain engine lube oil. 2. Replace filters. Lightly oil the gasket on the filter before installing. 3. Add lube oil. See Section 2.9.
5.4.10 Replacing the Engine Speed Sensor 1. Disconnect the plug to the sensor. See Figure 2.1. 2. Remove the bolt securing the sensor to the housing. 3. Remove the sensor from the housing. 4. Clean the recess in the housing to ensure that the sensor seats properly when re-installed. 5.
2. Remove the air filter element from the air cleaner body. 3. Install the new element, secure the bottom cap with the cap clamps. Figure 5.3 Air Cleaner, Dry Element 1. Air Outlet 4. Cap Clamp 2. Air Cleaner Body 5.
Figure 5.4 Air Cleaner, Oil Bath 1. Air Inlet Hood 4. Inner Oil Cup 2. Air Cleaner Body 5. Gasket 3. Cap Clamp 6. Oil Cup d. Air Cleaner Body Service The air cleaner body should be inspected each time the oil cup is serviced. If there is any sign of contaminant buildup or plugging, the air cleaner body should be removed and back flushed.
5.4.14 Intake Heater Test 1. Disconnect the lead from the heater terminal (1). 2. Measure the resistance between the heater positive terminal (1) and the heater body (2). 3. If the resistance is infinity or significantly different than the specification, resistance (cold) 0.3 ohms, replace the heater.
If a rotor becomes defective, it should be returned to the factory with full nameplate data. To repair a rotor, the special tooling and technique of the factory are necessary and essential. Should a failure occur, Carrier Transicold should be notified immediately and steps will be taken to return the generator for service.
3. Install new bearing. Ball bearings are pre-lubricated and require no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing. 4. Coat mating surface of bearing cover flange with anti-corrosion compound (Tef-Gel, Carrier Part Number 02-00083-00). 5. Replace bearing cover and mylar gasket.
5. Remove the twelve 3/8 inch hex head cap screws and washers that secure generator frame to engine flywheel housing. 6. Remove the four 5/8 inch bolts that secure the generator mounting feet to the shockmount bracket, then remove generator. b.
5.6.2 Check and Replace Isolators/Shockmounts a. Replacement Criteria 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.
