Description
The WINCO rotating armature power take-off generators are
designed primarily for farm use as a standby electrical power
supply, utilizing the power take-off of a tractor or truck as the
prime mover. This PTO drive generator will provide, 120/240V
single phase, 60Hz electrical service when properly driven.
NOTE: The prime mover which drives the generator must be
capable of delivering approximately 2 HP per 1000 watts
output from the generator. Observe input RPM specifications.
The generator may be foundation mounted for use as standby
power source, or trailer mounted, and used as portable
electrical power sources for areas where commercial power
is not readily available, such as out buildings.
This generator includes a color coded voltmeter to warn
against high or low voltage, three output power receptacles,
an overload protection circuit, and an electronic excitation
circuit. To reduce maintenance problems, the coupling
between the generator input shaft and rotor consists of
precision helical gearing rather than a chain link drive. The
input shaft is a 1 1/8 in. diameter smooth shaft with a keyway
and center drilled for a roll pin. Both must be used at all
times.
The factory thoroughly tests each generator before shipment.
All are continuous duty rated.
IMPORTANT: THE MANUFACTURER STRONGLY RECOM-
MENDS RUNNING THE GENERATOR UNDER LOAD AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH IN ORDER TO EVAPORATE ANY
ACCUMULATED MOISTURE CONDENSATION.
UNPACKING
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
DO NOT invert generator during unpacking. The Gearcase
contains oil which will leak out if inverted during unpacking.
Unpack the generator as follows:
1. Remove the carton.
2. Examine the unit for damage.
3. Find the small subpack carton packed in the large carton.
Be careful not to throw away the subpack carton with the
large carton.
4. Open the subpack carton and make sure it contains:
a.
Generator instruction manual
b.
Load disconnect plug (disassembled, in bag)
5. Remove the four bolts which hold down the generator feet
to the pallet.
6. Lift the generator from the pallet by means of the lifting
eye on the top of the generator.
7. Inspect the generator carefully for freight loss or damage.
If loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, require that
the person making the delivery make note of the loss or
damage on the freight bill, or sign the consigner’s memo
of the loss or damage. Contact the carrier for claim
procedures.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery, segregate the
damaged material, and contact the carrier for claim proce-
dures.
“Concealed damage” means damage to the contents of a
package which is not evident when the package is delivered
by the carrier, but which is discovered later. The carrier or
carriers are responsible for merchandise lost or damaged in
transit. The title to the goods rests with the consignee when
the goods are shipped FOB factory, and only the consignee
can legally file claims. Two years are allowed in which to file
suit after a claim is disallowed in writing by the carrier.
Assembly
25PTOC-3
The only assembly work required after unpacking the genera-
tor is to assemble and wire the load disconnect plug, which is
contained in a bag in the subpack carton packed in the
generator crate. The bag contains an instruction sheet, a plug
body, three or four brass pins (large pin for neutral line), and a
small envelope. The small envelope contains an allen
wrench, retainer pins, and set screws.
To wire the load disconnect plug, use the following type of
cable:
Generator
Size,
Model
AWG
Insulation
25PTOC-3
4
600V, Neoprene
To assemble and wire the load disconnect plug,
proceed as follows (see Figure 1):
1. Cut cables to the required length.
2. Strip off insulation 7/8" back from one end of each of the
cut-to-length cables.
3. Start threading a set screw into each pin.
4. Insert the stripped end of one cable fully into one of the
brass pins, and tighten the set screw firmly to secure the
cable end in the pin.
DANGER: Equipment Damage
If cable-to-pin connections are loose, arcing and heat damage
to equipment can result.
