SEAL-O-RING 8M4445 - Caterpillar

Receiving Inspection
If the generator is received during cold weather, allow the unit to reach room temperature before you remove the protective packing material. Warming the generator to room temperature will prevent the following problems:
Water condensation on cold surfaces
Early failures due to wet windings
Early failures due to wet insulating materialsUnpacking
Moving the Generator
Improper lift rigging can allow unit to tumble causing injury and damage.
Do not use the engine lifting eyes to remove the engine and generator together.
Unpack the equipment with care in order to avoid scratching painted surfaces. Move the unit to the mounting location. The unit can be moved by either of the following methods:
Attach an overhead crane to the lifting eye that is installed on the generator package.
Use a lift truck in order to lift the generator. The hoist and the hoist cables should have a rating that is greater than the weight of the generator. When the unit is moved, ensure that the generator is completely supported by the lift truck's fork tines. Also ensure that the generator is balanced on the lift truck's fork tines. Slide the fork tines beneath the attached skid in order to lift the generator. Location
The location of the generator must comply with all local regulations. The location of the generator must also comply with all special industrial regulations. Locate the generator in an area that meets the following requirements:
Clean
Dry
Well ventilated
Easily accessible for inspection and maintenanceDo not obstruct air inlet openings. Do not obstruct discharge openings. Coolant flow must reach these openings. If the generator is exposed to harsh environmental conditions, the generator can be modified in the field in order to add filters and space heaters. In addition, a more rigid periodic maintenance schedule should be established.Electrical Measurements
Measure the insulation resistance of each winding if the generator was exposed to the following conditions:
Rapid changes in temperature
Freezing
Wet climate during shipment
Wet climate during storageNote: These tests should be conducted prior to any power connections or control connections that are being made.Enclosures
Note: Generator sets that are shipped in an enclosure will require alterations if the enclosure is removed and the generator set is placed in operation. Also, open generator sets that are shipped without an enclosure will require alterations if an enclosure is installed and the generator set is placed in operation. These alterations may include the following items: different grills for the generator, different air cleaners and different covers for the electrical box. Please contact your Caterpillar dealer in order to obtain the proper parts for alterations.The following illustrations represent the C2.2 Genset. There are mainly two differences between the enclosures for the two gensets that are covered in this manual. The enclosure for the C1.5 genset has only one top panel, and the side panels for the C1.5 are single panels.Use the following steps in order to open the side panels:
Illustration 1 g00955646
Use latch (1) to release the top of the panel.
Illustration 2 g00955648
Tilt panel (2) outward for approximately 20 degrees (A). Damage may occur to pins (3), panel (2) or the frame
