MAINTENANCE OF FRAME AND HOUSING
4-13. GENERAL.
The generator set is
enclosed in an
all-weather housing
mounted on a towable frame.
Four tie-
down rings provide attaching points for
lifting the generator set with a crane
or helicopter.
The rings can also be
used as tiedown points.
Forklift tubes
form a part of the chassis frame. A
cable support assembly provides storage
for the power cable when the generator
set is not in operation.
A battery
holddown, consisting of two hook bolts,
prevents shifting or movement of the
battery.
There are four access doors:
the control panel access door that
allows access to the control panel; the
exhaust door that allows exhaust gas to
discharge to the atmosphere; the fuel
housing access door that allows access
to fuel system components; and the
inlet air housing access door that
allows access to the air filter and
electrical
connections.
Lifting the
control panel
allows access to the
generator
electronic
control
module
(GECM).
Four removable covers allow
access to the plenum, engine housing,
engine
electronic
control
module
(EECM), and, on the underside of the
generator set,
access to the fuel and
oil drains.
A bleed air connector is
installed in the bleedport on top of
the combustor housing and is connected
to the air filter by the bleed air
line.
Bleed air from the combustor is
directed to the air filter to help keep
it free of foreign material.
