Section 2. Preparation For Use, Storage, Or Shipping
1. Preparation for Use
a. General
These instructions are based on the assumption that the tow tractor mounted unit is properly
installed on the tractor and that all necessary fuel and electrical connections have been made.
Hobart Brothers Company does not build an aircraft tow tractor. Generator sets for tractor mounting
are installed by the customer, or tractor manufacturer. Other generator sets, when ordered with
truck or trailer, are mounted at the Hobart factory and are shipped in running condition and ready
for operation after inspection and check.
Improper operation can kill, injure, or cause damage! Read and understand
operating instructions in section 1-3 before operating the unit.
b. Inspection/Check
Inspect the unit thoroughly prior to operation.
(1) Remove blocking, banding, ties, and other securing material.
(2) Inspect exterior for shipping damage such broken lights, damaged sheet metal, etc.
(3)
Open all canopy doors and inspect interior for foreign material such as rags, tools, shipping
papers, etc.
(4) Check fuel, coolant, and oil hoses and connections for visible leaks. Visually inspect the
compartment floor and ground surface under the unit for signs of leakage. If leaks are found,
correct by tightening hose clamps, tube fittings, etc., as required.
(5)
Check security of tractor mounted generator set retaining components
(Sect. 2-1, Fig. 2).
(6) Check the following for sufficient quantity:
a. Fuel
Turn ON panel lights to energize fuel gage when engine is stopped.
(Tractor-mounted units
are supplied from the tow tractor tank.)
b. Engine coolant
The radiator cap is accessible by opening the hinged access cover on the front canopy
housing. Coolant level should be approximately one inch below the filler neck. Allow a
capacity for coolant expansion.
Be sure the cooling system antifreeze solution is adequate to protect below
lowest temperature expected.
NOTE: For antifreeze protection, use a solution of 50% permanent antifreeze (Ethylene glycol) and 50%
clean water.
c. Engine lubricating oil
Oil level should be at “FULL” mark on oil level gage rod. See the Perkins Shop Manual for oil
recommendations.
