WARNING!
Check the TEG for any signs of damage before beginning assembly and installation.
Some damages can make the TEG inoperable. Consult Global Power Technologies
before operating a TEG with any signs of damage.
Do not discard the shipping crate until the TEG is fully
operational. Before removing the TEG from the crate:
1.
Check the TEG for any damage that may have occurred
during shipping. If the TEG shows any sign of damage,
contact Global Power Technologies to report it. Do not
proceed with the installation.
2.
Check and re-tighten any bolts that may have loosened.
3.
Remove the tie wraps that clamp the ends of the heat
pipes to the support ring.
CAUTION!
Failure to remove the tie wraps can cause the heat pipes to crack when they
expand.
4.
Once the tie wraps have been removed, lift the TEG out of the crate. This must be done by two or
more persons. Use the upper ring around the heat pipes, or the frame where the ring is
mounted, as lifting points.
NOTE:
If lifting with slings, secure the slings to the upper ring in at least three points in equal
distance from one another to ensure that the TEG does not swing or rock during
lifting.
5.

Mounting Bolts – 1/4 in x 3/4 in, with nuts and washers (x4)
Stand Grounding Set – 3/8 in x 2 in bolt with nuts and washers (x1)
