GENERAL.
The
running
gear
provides
the means
for moving the
generator set manually or with a tow
vehicle.
The brake control, consisting
of a handbrake and adjustable linkage,
will prevent movement of the generator
set when the handbrake lever is placed
in the set position.
A torsion axle
and the associated wheels, tires, and
tubes are the components that allow
easy movement of the generator
set.
The lunette eye is the connecting point
for a towing vehicle.
A swivel caster
provides support for the front of the
generator set and can be rotated from
the down position when the set is being
towed.
