• Generator: plate attached to side of generator housing

• Engine: S/N locations as shown

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

• Use a clean No. 2 diesel fuel oil (SAE J313 JUN87) according to ASTM D975

• Do not use alternative fuels because their quality is unknown and they may be inferior and damage the engine

• Do not use kerosene – it has a very low cetane rating and will adversely affect the engine

• Refer to the CAT, Kubota, or Kohler engine operator’s manual (included in the literature packet with your light tower) for more detailed requirements

www.allmand.com


ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS• Use a high quality engine oil of API service class CC/CD/CE• Refer to the specific CAT, Kubota, or Kohler engine operator’s manual included with your light tower for more detailed engine oil requirements

MANUAL WINCH MAINTENANCE

• The following procedures should be performed annually (or more frequently under adverse operating conditions):

• Gears and brushings of the winch must be kept lubricated – apply a thin film of grease to the gear and oil the brushings as needed

• The ratchet pawl pivot point must be kept lubricated with a thin oil

• do NOT get oil or grease on the friction discs

www.allmand.com


CABLE CLAMPS

• Be certain that all cable clamps are installed as shown in the diagram below and tightened to recommended torque values

• Loose or improperly installed clamps may result in damage or injury

GENERATOR – CAPACITOR EXCITATION | VOLTAGE REGULATION

• A single capacitor is used to regulate the voltage within 5% of the rated load

• Use extreme caution when handling capacitors – the capacitor will still contain high voltage even after the engine has stopped operating

• Always discharge the capacitor before handling:• Use an insulated conductor (jumper wire) or a screwdriver with an

insulated handle to short across the capacitor terminals, and discharge the capacitor prior to handling

www.allmand.com


GENERATOR MAINTENANCE – PERIODIC INSPECTION

• Clean and inspect generator after every 200 hours of normal operating time

• If the generator is housed in a harsh environment, it is advisable to clean and inspect the unit more frequently

• If dirt and grease is allowed to build up, the generator will run hotter, lose efficiency, and reduce the life of the generator

www.allmand.com


GENERATOR MAINTENANCE – CLEANING

• Remove all dust, dirt, oil, and grease build up from external surfaces

• Use a low pressure air hose (25 PSI maximum) to blow dirt and grease from the internal components through the fan opening

• Clean inside the control box

• Check for loose or damaged lead wires and loose components mounted in the box

www.allmand.com


GENERATOR SERVICE

• Flashing the rotor – refer to generator maintenance manual

• Checking the capacitor charge – refer to generator maintenance manual

• Checking diodes – refer to generator maintenance manual

www.allmand.com


GENERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING – MARATHON GENERATOR

• Visual examination:

• Look for obvious damages such as:• charred windings• pinched wires• cracked insulation• loose terminal lugs, etc.

• All connections should be fastened securely

• Check the operating speed and see that the unit has been reassembled and reconnected correctly
