(22) Install the drive coupling assembly support
(2) on rotor shaft (33) and secure it with setscrew (1).
(23) Reassemble the two coupling halves
together with two bolts and nuts.
h.
Installation. To install generator and engine as
an assembly refer to paragraph 6-2. To install generator
assembly proceed with step 1.
(1)

eyes located inside the tool box and align generator with
engine.
(2)
Install two generator mounting bolts.
(3)
Install two coupling bolts.
(4)
Install two bolts that secure generator
housing to the engine.
(5)
Install shrouds and lower support bracket.
(6)
Install ventilating screen and unit lifting eye.
(7)
Install upper frame to skid with four
lockwashers and nuts.
(8)
Install control cabinet assembly, refer to
paragraph 6-1.
(9)
Install battery, refer to paragraph 4-28.
8-2.
GENERATOR (MODEL MEP-023A).
a.
General. A general description of the Onan
Model O1GFG-408XR/5885A generator is given in
Chapter 1. The stator housing is mounted on the engine
flywheel housing and the rotor is mounted on a drive disk
which, in turn. is mounted on the engine flywheel. The
other end is a direct-connected, brushless, rotating
exciter. The stator housing houses both the generator
field windings and the dc exciter frame and windings.
b.
On-Equipment Testing.
(1)
Stator
(a)
Disconnect the plug connector from
the receptacle in the rear of the control box and
generator housing.
(b)
Use a multimeter set on RX1 scale
and test for continuity between contacts 3 and 7,
contacts 6 and 8, and contacts 9 and 2. If the multimeter
fails to indicate continuity on any of these tests, the stator
is defective and must be replaced.
(2)
Rotor.
(a)
Remove the blower cover and blower
wheel (sub-para c. below).
(b)
Disconnect rotor winding leads from
rectifier. Using multimeter set on RX 1 scale, test field
winding of rotor assembly for a reading of 5.95 ohms +
5%. Make a continuity check from each field winding to
the shaft.
(3)
Exciter Field Windings.
(a)
Disconnect the plug connector from
the receptacle in the rear of the control box.
(b)
Use a multimeter set on RX1 scale
and test between contacts 11 and 13 on the plug. The
reading should be within 5% above or below 55 ohms or
the windings are faulty and should be replaced.
c.
Removal and Disassembly.
NOTE
Removal of the engine and generator
as a unit (para 6-2) is optional. The
generator may be removed from the
engine without removing the unit
from the skid base.
(1)
Refer to figure 8-8 and remove the blower
wheel, stator assembly, and support brackets.
