Aligning Generator with Engine (Angular Alignment) adjustment

⚠ 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.
Alternator Belt Adjustment adjustment

⚠ Over-tensioning of alternator belts can result in premature accessory drive bushing wear and seal leakage.

Tools: GT-1293 Burroughs Tension Gauge

  1. Loosen the alternator and adjusting link mounting capscrews.
  2. Loosen the jam nuts on the adjusting screw.
  3. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to tighten the belt tension.
  4. Check the belt tension with a gauge.
  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

  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.
HC4-7 Axial Alignment Procedure adjustment

Tools: Dial indicator with magnetic base or clamp

  1. Check only when an objectionable vibration is present.
  2. Fasten dial indicator holding device to skid base, engine block, or generator shell with magnetic base or clamp.
  3. Position sensor point on the generator shaft hub.
  4. Bar the engine over in a clockwise rotation as viewed from engine flywheel through a couple of rotations.
  5. Record indicator readings in eight equally spaced points around the shaft diameter.
  6. Remove the capscrews connecting drive discs and flywheel and mark discs and flywheel.
  7. Rotate engine or generator so drive disc holes are repositioned 180 degrees from original location.
  8. Put capscrews back in and retorque. Recheck shaft alignment.
  9. If runout unchanged, rotate discs to 30, 60 or 90 degrees from original location.
  10. If T.I.R. does not improve, inspect flywheel pilot and drive disc runouts.
P7 Axial Alignment Procedure adjustment
  1. Check only when an objectionable vibration is present.
  2. Remove the capscrews connecting drive discs and flywheel.
  3. Mark the drive discs and flywheel with respect to each other.
  4. Rotate engine or generator so drive discs holes are repositioned two bolt holes from original location.
  5. Put capscrews back in and retorque. Recheck/record vibration levels.
  6. Repeat this test until drive disc holes are repositioned 180 degrees from original location.
  7. Review vibration data and position drive disc in lowest recorded level location.
PT (type D) Injector - Adjustment adjustment

⚠ The injector plunger is under spring tension. Do NOT allow the tool to slip.

⚠ Prevent damage to the indicator by allowing the lever to return slowly.

Tools: 3822575 injector and valve adjustment kit, 3822574 rocker lever actuator, ST-669 Torque Wrench Adapter

  1. Assemble the parts of an injector and valve adjustment kit, Part No. 3822575, or equivalent, and install it on the cylinder.
  2. Adjust the indicator so the tip touches the top of the injector plunger.
  3. Lower the indicator 12.25 mm [0.5 inch] to allow for travel. Lock the indicator support to the post.
  4. Use a rocker lever actuator, Part No. 3822574, or equivalent. Depress the lever until the injector bottoms two or three times.
  5. Hold the lever with the injector plunger firmly bottomed and set the indicator to ZERO.
  6. Turn the adjusting screw until the indicator reads the specified travel.
  7. Tighten the locknut to the torque value.
  8. Check the injector adjustment and repeat if not within specification.
