Operation Manual – ITW GSE 6400 Tier 4

Generator

Trouble, Symptom,
Condition

Probable Cause

Test, Check, and/or Remedy

Generator does not
build up voltage
when the engine is
at the rated speed.

Problem with brushes

Remove, clean, and reinstall the generator brushes, replacing them
if they are shorter than 7/16 of an inch (11mm).

Exciter fuse (F3 or F8)
blown

Replace exciter fuse(s).

Defective wiring between
interface board and
generator

Check all connectors and wires between interface board and
generator. Pull gently on wires to insure proper insertion in the
connector.

Defective diode on control
winding.

The diode is located on the generator’s brush holder mounting
bracket. Check it with an ohmmeter to see if good.

Defective voltage regulator
on interface board

Replace interface board.

Defective generator
control winding

Measure resistance between two yellow wires coming from
generator. It should be around 13 ohms. It is defective if shorted
or open.

Defective generator
armature G402

If no problem was found with the control winding, the generator
stator is defective. Send unit to overhaul.

Problem with brushes

Remove, clean, and reinstall the generator brushes, replacing them
if they are shorter than 7/16 of an inch (11mm).

Exciter fuse (F3 or F8)
blown

Replace exciter fuse(s).

Defective wiring between
interface board and
generator

Check all connectors and wires between the interface board and the
generator. Pull gently on wires to insure proper insertion in the
connector.
