Undercarriage (axle, towbar,
towing eyes)
The QES Jd generator sets can be optionally provided
with a site trailer for off-road use. For on-road use the
undercarriage is either equipped with an adjustable or
fixed towbar with DIN-eye, NATO-eye, ITA-eye,
AFR-eye or ball coupling and with road signalisation
which is approved by EC legislation.
When using this option
– Make sure that the towing equipment of the
vehicle matches the towing eye before towing the
generator set.
– Never move the generator set while electrical
cables are connected to the unit.
– Always apply the hand brake when parking the
generator set.
– Leave enough space for operation, inspection and
maintenance (at least 1 meter at each side).
To maintain the undercarriage
– Check the tightness of the towbar bolts, the axle
bolts and the wheel nuts at least twice a year and
after the initial 50 hours of operation.
– Grease the wheel axle suspension bearings, the
drawbar to the steering gear shaft and the spindle
of the brake handle at least twice a year. Use ball
bearing grease for the wheel bearings and graphite
grease for the drawbar and spindle.
– Check the brake system twice a year.
– Check the condition of the vibration dampers
twice a year.
– Repack the wheel hub bearings once a year using
grease.

Skid frame
The skid frame option offers a very solid base frame
for use on rough working sites. It can also be used to
slide the generator set on short distance. To be able to
lift the generator set by means of a forklift,
rectangular slots are provided.
