⚠ Accidental starting of the generator set during this procedure presents the hazard of severe personal injury or death.

Tools: Dial indicator, Shims

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable(s) before beginning.
  2. Fasten a dial indicator to the generator shaft or cooling fan with the sensing point on the capscrew head or flat surface of the drive disc at the bolt circle diameter.
  3. Bar the engine over in a clockwise rotation as viewed from engine flywheel; do not allow it to roll back on compression.
  4. Determine the total indicator reading (T.I.R.) as the sum of the maximum positive and negative dial indicator readings over one revolution.
  5. Measure the distance from the center of the generator shaft to the indicator measuring point.
  6. Measure the distance from the generator side of the flex discs to the center of the generator mounting bolt.
  7. Compare the distances; multiply this ratio times one half the T.I.R. to approximate the amount of shims to remove or add.

  5. Tighten the jam nuts on the adjusting screw to 55 Nm [40 ft-lb].
  6. Tighten the adjusting link and alternator mounting capscrews to 55 Nm [40 ft-lb].
  7. Check the belt tension again.
Angular Alignment Procedure adjustment

⚠ Accidental starting of the generator set during this procedure presents the hazard of severe personal injury or death. Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) battery cable(s) before beginning.

Tools: Dial indicator, Wooden shims

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable(s) before beginning.
  2. Fasten a dial indicator to the generator shaft or cooling fan with sensing point on capscrew head or flat surface of drive disc at bolt circle diameter.
  3. Bar the engine over in a clockwise rotation as viewed from engine flywheel; do not allow it to roll back on compression.
  4. Record maximum positive and negative dial indicator readings as the engine completes one revolution.
  5. T.I.R. equals the sum of the maximum positive and negative readings.
  6. Maximum T.I.R. should not be more than .001 inch for each inch of radius.
  7. Remove equal shims from under both generator mounting feet to lower the generator.
Angular Alignment Procedure (750 kW gensets and larger) adjustment

⚠ Accidental starting during this procedure presents hazard of severe injury or death

⚠ Do not bar engine over by prying on fan blade

Tools: dial indicator

  1. Disconnect negative battery cable(s) before beginning
  2. Fasten dial indicator to generator shaft or cooling fan, sensing point on capscrew head or drive disc flat surface
  3. Bar engine over in clockwise rotation as viewed from flywheel, do not allow roll-back at end of travel
  4. Record total indicator reading (T.I.R.) as sum of max positive and negative readings over one revolution
  5. Calculate shim correction using ratio of generator shaft-to-indicator distance vs generator mounting bolt distance
  6. Add or remove shims from both generator mounting feet as calculated
Angular Alignment Procedure (Generator to Engine) adjustment

⚠ Accidental starting during this procedure presents the hazard of severe personal injury or death.

⚠ Do not bar engine over by prying on fan blade.

Tools: dial indicator

  1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable(s) before beginning.
  2. Fasten a dial indicator to the generator shaft or cooling fan with sensing point resting on the drive disc capscrew head/flat surface at the bolt circle diameter.
  3. Bar the engine over in a clockwise rotation as viewed from the engine flywheel; do not allow it to roll back on compression at the end of travel of each reading.
  4. Record the total indicator reading (T.I.R.) as the sum of the maximum positive and negative dial indicator readings over one engine revolution.
  5. Compare the measured T.I.R. to the maximum allowed (.001 in. per inch of radius from center of shaft to indicator axis); add or remove shims under the generator mounting feet to correct.
Axial Alignment Procedure (750 kW gensets and larger) adjustment

Tools: dial indicator

  1. Check axial alignment only when objectionable vibration is present after angular alignment
  2. Fasten dial indicator holding device to skid base/engine block/generator shell, sensor on generator shaft hub
  3. Bar engine over clockwise through a couple of rotations, recording readings at eight equally spaced points
  4. If out of tolerance, remove capscrews connecting drive discs and flywheel, mark discs, reposition holes 180 degrees
  5. Reinstall capscrews and retorque; recheck alignment; try 30/60/90 degree repositioning if unchanged
Axial Alignment Procedure (Generator to Engine) adjustment

Tools: dial indicator

  1. Fasten a dial indicator holding device to the skid base, engine block, or generator shell with the sensor point resting on the generator shaft hub.
  2. Bar the engine over in a clockwise rotation through a couple of rotations, recording indicator readings at eight equally spaced points around the shaft diameter to obtain axial T.I.R.
  3. Reduce the measured T.I.R. runout by one half if excessive vibration remains after angular alignment.
Crossheads - Adjustment adjustment

Tools: ST-669 Torque Wrench Adapter

  1. Adjust the crossheads on the cylinder that has both valves closed.
  2. Loosen the crosshead adjusting screw locknuts on the intake and exhaust valve crossheads.
  3. Turn the adjusting screw out at least one turn.
  4. Hold the crosshead down against its guide.
  5. Turn the adjusting screw in until it touches the top of the valve stem but does not raise the crosshead.
  6. Hold the adjusting screw and tighten the lock nut to the torque value.
Dipstick Calibration adjustment

⚠ The dipstick will break if the scribe mark is too deep.

Tools: scribe

  1. Drain the oil from the pan.
  2. Install the dipstick in the dipstick tube.
  3. Use clean 15W-40 oil to fill the oil pan to the specified low level.
  4. Remove the dipstick and scribe a mark across the dipstick at the oil level. Mark the low level with an L.
  5. Install the dipstick and add additional oil to the specified full level.
  6. Remove the dipstick and scribe a mark across the dipstick at the oil level. Mark the high oil level with an H.
