T-361 1–4
The generator/engine must be slightly lifted off of the unit frame in order to provide enough
clearance for the generator support plate to slide back, away from the engine.
Although the generator drive gear and fly wheel adapter plate will normally keep the generator
coupled to the engine, even without the bolts, it is safest to remove the lower generator bolts
first, in case the generator shifts and falls during bolt removal.
Inspect the generator drive gear, bolt, and key as they will have to be removed from the old
generator and installed onto the new generator; replace these components if they are worn or
damaged.
In order to match up the teeth of the generator drive gear with the teeth of the fly wheel adaptor
plate, the fly wheel will need to be rotated by hand.
Although the drive gear and mating surface of the generator will generally keep the generator
coupled to the engine, even with all of the bolts removed, it is safest to start installation of the
top generator bolts first, just in case the generator shifts and falls.
SST is an abbreviation for 300 Series Corrosion Resistant Steel.
Loctite #242 or an equivalent product should be used on ALL hardware shown in Figure 5.17.
