4. Bolt the generator to the mounting base using three, 7/16” grade 8 bolts. See
below.
Note: In order to access two of the mounting holes, you will need to remove
the louvered, fan vent panels on both sides. ALWAYS replace panels before
starting the generator.
If mounting to a concrete slab, use the optional mounting kit, NorthStar item
#165935 (available from Northern Tool & Equipment catalog or by calling
Product Support @ 1-800-270-0810). The kit comes with two mounting plates.
a. Attach the two mounting plates to the generator using the three, grade 8,
7/16” bolts provided in the kit.
b. Mount the plates to the concrete slab using a minimum of six grade 8;
size 3/8” lag bolts (bolts not provided in kit).
Connect
generator to
engine Connect the generator to the engine using sheaves (pulleys) and V-Belt(s):
1. Select the correct sheaves and belts for this application.
The generator shaft is 28mm diameter x 2.38” long with a 8mm keyway. Use
Table 6 below to select the correct sheaves and belts for this application.
Table 6:
Sheaves Belt(s)
Option Diameter Single vs. Double Type Quantity
#1 5.8” Single Notched V-Belt 1
#2 5.0” Double V-Belt 2
The shaft speed of the generator must run between 3540-3780 RPM. At no
load, the correct speed is 3780 RPM.
• If the engine is a 3600-RPM engine, then a sheave diameter ratio of 1:1
should be used. This means that the diameter of the sheave on the engine
is the same as the diameter of the sheave on the generator.
• If the engine is rated at a speed less than 3600 RPM, you will need to use a
larger sheave on the engine, using the following formula:
