Installation
Receiving Inspection
Before accepting a shipment, examine the packaging for any sign of
damage that might have occurred during transit. Report any damage
to the transportation company and Kato Engineering.
Unpacking and Moving
If the generator is received during cold weather, reduce condensation
on cold surfaces and failure due to wet windings by allowing the
generator to reach room temperature before removing the protective
packing.
Unpack the generator carefully to avoid scratching painted surfaces.
Do not remove the protecting lubricant from the shaft end. Inspect for
loosely mounted components and the presence of moisture. Inspect
to make certain foreign material, such as crating nails, loose bolts or
packing material, which may have fallen into the machine during
unpacking, is removed. If damage is noted, determine the extent of
damage and immediately notify the transportation company claims
office and Kato Engineering. Be sure to give complete and accurate
details when reporting damage.
Move the generator by attaching an overhead hoist to the eyebolts
installed on the generator frame or by lifting the generator from
underneath the skid with a forklift.
Location
Install the generator in an area so it complies with all local and
industrial regulations. Locate it in a clean, dry, well-vented area or
area that is suitable for the generator enclosure. Make sure it is easily
accessible for inspection and maintenance.
Protect generators operating intermittently in very damp locations
with space heaters. Slowly warm generators placed in operation
after being subjected to very low temperatures to prevent excessive
condensation. Check winding resistance before placing the generator
in operation (see page 22).
Base Design
The type of base to be used will depend upon the nature of the
installation site. However, the generator base must be rigid, level, and
free from vibration. Mounting holes must be larger than the fasteners
to allow for alignment.
WARNING:
Be alert at all
times when installing, operating and
maintaining the generator. Avoid contact
with the uninsulated metal parts of the
generator. Most injuries occur from faulty
ground connections on portable electrical
equipment and failure to ground
stationary equipment.
Test all portable devices frequently to prove
that a solid electrical circuit exits from
the metal frame though the grounding
conductor, in the electrical cord, to the
grounding contact in the attachment
plug. Do not use electrical equipment
with frayed, burned or damaged cords.
Always take extreme care when moving the
generator. Be careful to not strike objects
or personnel.
WARNING:
Apply lifting force to
structural points specifically provided for
lifting. Do not use the enclosure lifting
holes to lift the whole unit. Use lifting
means adequate for the weight. Observe
lifting notices attached to the generator.
Failure to observe these instructions
can result in injury and damage to the
generator.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to
transport a single-bearing generator
without maintaining proper rotor support
and with the exciter rotor assembly
removed. Failure to observe this warning
can result in equipment damage.
CAUTION:
Blocking or restricting
normal air flow into or out of the
generator may cause damage to the
electrical windings.
