PTO ALIGNMENT
Position the alternator in such a manner that the power
take-off shaft is as near to direct line in all directions as
possible. This will increase the life of the power take-off
shaft, reduce light flicker, reduce wear on bearings of
both the power take-off and the alternator, and reduce
vibration. The maximum angle from a straight line should
not exceed 10°. For a power take-off shaft length of 42
inches, 10° is approximately 7 inch misalignment. For
extended distance the maximum misalignment would
increase 2 inches for each foot. For example: For a 4
foot PTO shaft, the maximum misalignment is 8 inches
from a straight line.
DANGER: Personal Injury
TRACTOR MUST BE SHUT OFF AND THE POWER TAKE-OFF MUST BE DISENGAGED AT THIS TIME.
PROCEDURE FOR USE
1. Set the manual transfer to mid or normal (up)
position.
2.
Connect the power take-off shaft securely to the
alternator and the tractor. Position as near to a straight
line as possible.
3.
Slowly adjust power take-off up to maintain the
the proper voltage reading on the meter (235 to 245
volts).
4.
Plug 4 wire load cord set into receptacle. Place
transfer switch in the emergency position.
5.
Place the load circuit breaker in the “on” position. If
the breaker trips, move manual transfer switch to “off” or
normal position. Check for short circuit or grounded
connection in the load cable to the double throw switch
and repair. A breaker that trips from overload or short
circuit must be reset by moving to “off” before reclosing.
6. Keep meter at the proper voltage by adjusting tractor
speed.
7.
The return of normal power will be indicated by the
lamp on the front of transfer switch; (applicable only when
the transfer switch is equipped with indicating lamps or
your electrician has installed them). After sufficient time to
assure that power restoration isn’t temporary, return the
transfer switch to normal power (10 - 20 minutes).
8.
Place the alternator circuit breaker in “off” position.
Do not remove plug before opening the breaker.
9.
Slowly reduce power take-off speed to a minimum
and disengage the power take-off. Some tractors have a
brake on the power take-off that stops the shaft instantly.
Stopping the alternator rotor instantly from rated speed
may result in a broken shaft or other drive line failures.
10. Exercise PTO alternator for one hour under load at
least twice a year.
LUBRICATION
1.
Check the generator gear case oil level before each
use of the generator. See Figure 4. Maintain the oil level
before each use of the generator. Maintain the oil level at
oil level plug height. The generator is shipped with
lubricant in the gear case.
Specifications for gear case lubricant are: API Service:
GL-5 EP Rated, Grade: SAE 85W-90-140, Amount: 1
pint
The following kinds of oil are recommended for use in the
generator gear case:
Mobil SAE 85W90-140 API Service GL-5
Sunoco/DX XL80W90-140
Kendal Three Star 85W-140
Amoco 85W140 or equivalent
Figure 6
2. The generator bearings are factory lubricated and
sealed, and require no further lubrication.
3. The splined generator input shaft should be cleaned
and lubricated with a thin film of grease before and after
each use of the generator. See Figure 6 for lubrication
schedule.
4. The drive shaft (tumbling bar) requires greasing.
Keep the universal joints in the coupling shaft free from
grease and dirt buildup. See Figure 6 for lubrication
schedule.
NOTE: Do not over lubricate
the universal joints.
