ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING THE GENERATOR TO THE ENGINE UNIT
Note:
Your Evolution Generator is designed to be connected to
and powered by the Evolution Evo-System Engine. Do not try to
connect this machine to any other power source.
Your Evolution Evo-System Engine has a unique coupling that
enables a variety of Evolution accessories to be connected to and
be driven by this machine. This coupling is engineered to very fine
tolerances and must be kept clean and free from dirt, debris etc.
A cover for coupling protection is provided with each accessory and
should be used whenever the accessory is ‘remote’ from the engine.
If you experience difficulty in accessory connection, it could be
because the accessory location pins, or the annuli of either the
accessory or the engine are contaminated or damaged.
Preparing the engine for accessory connection:
Note: The Evolution Evo-System Engine has a micro switch
incorporated within the coupling design that senses when an
accessory has been successfully attached to the machine. The
engine will not start without an accessory being successfully
connected. It cannot be run as a ‘stand alone’ machine.
• Lock the Transportation Wheels using the wheel brake.
• Release the Accessory Mounting Frame by rotating the locking
levers to their unlocked (down) position.
• Deploy the Accessory Mounting Frame to fully down position.
• Lock the frame into position by returning the locking levers to
their locked (upright) position.
Generator connection
Note: The Generator is equipped with 3 locating pins and 2 rear
stabilising pins. The 3 locating pins lock into the ‘Uni-coupling’.
The other 2 stabilising pins slide into the sockets in the Accessory
Mounting Frame.
• Hold the accessory by its external frame and offer it up to the
engine. Visually align the 3 locating pins (Fig.1a) and 2 rear
stabilising pins (Fig.1b) . Enlist competent help if necessary.
