5.1 LIFTING
Warning! Incorrect lifting or inadequate lifting capacity can result In severe personal injury
or equipment damage MINIMUM LIFTING CAPACITY REQUIRED IS AS INDICA
TED ON THE LIFTING LABEL. Generator lifting lugs should not be used for lifting
the complete
Two lifting lugs are provided for use with a shackle and pin type lifting aid, A spreader with
chains, to ensure that the lift is vertical, of suitable length and lifting capacity must be used.
Lifting points are designed to position the craneage possible, but due to design restrictions it is
not possible to guarantee that the generator frame will remain horizontal while lifting, Care is
therefore needed to avoid personal injury or equipment damage, The correct lifting arrange-
ment is shown on the label attached to the lifting lug. (See sample below).
Single bearing generators are supplied tted with a rotor retaining bar at the drive end of the
shaft. Single bearing generators are also tted with wooden wedges supporting the fan for
transit purposes.
Once the bar is removed to couple the rotor to engine, the rotor is free to move in the frame,
and care is needed during coupling and alignment to ensure the frame is kept in the horizontal
plane.
5.2 ENGINE TO ASSEMBLY GENERATOR COUPLING
During the assembly of the generator to the engine it will be necessary to rstly carefully align,
the rotate, the combined Generator rotor - Engine crankshaft assembly, as part of the cons-
truction process, to allow location, insertion and tightening of the coupling bolts. This require-
ment to rotate the combined assemblies exists for both single and two beating units.
During the construction of single bearing units it is necessary to align the generator's coupling
holes with the engine ywheel holes. It is suggested that two diametrically opposite
