Installation
NOTE
For differing installation instructions for shaft fastening by tension
bolt (instead of the grub-screw described here), please refer to
section 4.5.4.4 on page 45.
1. Screw the supplied grub-screw (Figure 8/1) into the engine shaft as far as it
will go using an Allen wrench.
2. Apply the sealing to the front end shield of the generator as described in
section 4.5.4.1 on page 37.
3. Align the generator in front of the engine in a way, that the generator shaft
lies in one line with the engine shaft. If necessary, support the generator
accordingly.
4. Push the generator against the engine flange and align the threaded hole of
the generator shaft with the grub-screw screwed into the engine shaft.
5. Screw the generator shaft by turning the fan impeller onto the grub-screw in
the engine shaft as far as it will go. This pulls the generator against the
engine flange.
NOTE
While screwing the generator shaft onto the grub-screw, align
the mounting holes in the end shield with the drillings in the
engine flange.
It is not necessary to tighten the generator shaft on the grubscrew.
It is sufficient, if the shaft is screwed onto the grubscrew
as far as it will go, since the screw-connection tightens
itself when the generator is loaded.
For installation instructions for shaft fastening by tension bolt,
please refer to section 4.5.4.4 on page 45.
6. Fasten the generator's end shield to the engine flange using four fastening
screws (Figure 8/2).
