Section 4 • Generator Assemblies<br />

• Continue tapping all the flanges on the housing until it<br />

comes free from the engine adapter.<br />

• Carefully remove the stator housing.<br />

Once the housing is removed, the rotor assembly will be<br />

exposed (Figure 4.58).<br />

Rotor Retention<br />

Bolt<br />

Installing The Rotor<br />

• Place the rotor on the tapered drive shaft. (There is no<br />

concern for timing the rotor to the engine.)<br />

• Insert the rotor retention bolt and torque to the<br />

specifications found in the appendix of this guide.<br />

NOTE: If you were unable to get satisfactory<br />

electrical measurements earlier, it is recommended<br />

that you take your rotor measurements now as this<br />

might save you the time in removing the rotor<br />

needlessly.<br />

Removing The Rotor<br />

The procedure for removing the rotor is the same as<br />

described for the Generac® wound generators.<br />

Please refer to page 98 “Removing the Rotor” for these<br />

steps.<br />

Mounting The Stator Housing<br />

• Carefully place the stator housing over the rotor and<br />

align the mounting studs (or holes) with the engine<br />

adapter (Figure 4.60).<br />

Figure 4.60 — Aligning The Stator Housing<br />

Assembly<br />

NOTE: The rotor bearing is secured to the end of<br />

the shaft by means of an external snap-ring (Figure<br />

4.59).The bearing need not be removed from the<br />

rotor unless of an obvious failure or for rotor<br />

replacement. Inspect for any loose debris,<br />

obstructions or flaws on the engine adaptor, stator<br />

laminations, rear bearing carrier, the threaded hole in<br />

the tapered shaft and the surface of the mating<br />

surface of the rotor before proceeding with the<br />

rotor installation.<br />

• Be sure that the rotor bearing slips into its encasement<br />

on the stator housing.<br />
