FIG. XXXIV GENERATOR CONTROL

BOX AND BATTERY INSTALLATION

indications are that either the DC field has been inadver­

tently "flashed" in the wrong direction, or that the

generator is operating on residual magnetism only. To

"flash" the field, remove the (A+) lead from the generator

and momentarily close the generator cutout contacts, making

certain that the external connections to the battery are

correctly connected with regard to polarity~

(c) If the ammeter indicates zero charging current

when the generator voltage. is above 13.5 or 26.8 volts for

12 or 24-volt systems respectively, check the operation of

the generator cutout contacts. If the contacts are open,

the unit is out of adjustment and should be reset in accord­

ance with manufacturer's cutout instructions. If the contacts

are closed, check th~ charge on the battery, since the charg­

ing current drops down to a low value when operating with a

·fully charged battery resulting in li tt~e or no ammeter

indication.

(d) ·· If the AC voltage output is below the normal 120

volts (=5%), check the DC voltage output and readjust to

proper value as instructed under "CONTROL BOX INSPECTION.·"

Before attempting to start the engine for the first time,

the following checks should be made:

(a) At least three (3) gallons of lubrication oil Navy

Specification 1065 t<Y 1080 should be ple.ced in the

oil tarL'l.c.

(b) See that 24 volts of battery are across line and that

the main line switches for auxiliary power plc.nt are

in "off" position.

(c) Inspect magneto ground wires for proper connection.

Notice: Press in on automatic over-sneed cut GUt

button to make sure switch is in oper ating

position.

(d) Fuel tank should contain 91 octane gasoline. Open

valves and check engine dribble valve for flooding.

(e) By aid of the hand crank, turn the engine ·through

two or three revolutions. If abnormal effort is

required, remove a spark plug from each cylinder to

make sure liquid has not collected in the combustion

chamber.

This procedure should be followed whenever the engine has

been idle for a week or more. (See Navy Spec. AN9505a for

prepar ation for storage instructions).

is not indicated. N9rmal oil pressure is 55-65 lbs.

per sq. inch.

(4) Manual Starting

be started with the hand starting drum.

(a) Loosen the two Dzus fasteners holding . the starter hole

cover and remoye the cover plate.

(5) Warm Up

Vfuen the operating temperature is below 21°C the engine

will idle at about 1800 RPM after starting. As the oil warms,

the engine speed will gradually increase to 4200 RPM (no load).

The governor is adjusted at the factory to operate betweeen

4000 (full load) and 4200 RPM (No load). During warm-up the

engine oil hea.ter should be turned to "ON." Normal operating

oil-in temperature should be about 60°C. and should not be per­

mitted to exceed 87°C. DO NOT USE OIL HEATER BEFORE STARTING

ENGINE.

(6) Loading

Load may be applied to generator as soon as the engine

comes up to speed.

(7) Overload Caution

The generator is rated at 5 K.W. (175 amp.) for contin­

uous operation. It has an overload capacity of 7.5 K. W.

(263 amp.) for a 5 minute period.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the power plant above the normal

5 K.W. load for more than five minutes at a time.

Allow 10 minutes at not more than o% loa.d

between overload eriods for the

to cool.
