Harbor Freight Tools Essential Guide to PTO Shaft Setup for Maximum Generator Performance

Page 9

2.The PTO shaft must be attached to the tractor (not included) and the Generator. The ends of the PTO shaft slide into the Generator Gearbox, and the tractor PTO drive.

3.WARNING! The PTO shaft must

fit properly into the PTO drive. Do not attempt to use this generator if the PTO shaft does not fit properly. Se- vere injury or property damage may result if the Drive shaft comes loose during operation.

4.When installing the PTO shaft, en- sure that it is aligned as (seen from above) with both the Generator and the tractor. Also keep the vertical difference of the Generator and tractor as small as possible to mini- mize the angle of the Drive shaft U-joints.

Note: Aligning the shafts minimizes tor- sional forces which tend to topple the Generator. Minimizing vertical angles reduces friction, heat and wear on the U-joints of the PTO shaft.

5.Attach the generator to the tractor us- ing all 3 connection points and appro- priate hardware (not included). The connection method must prevent the generator from twisting during opera- tion.

6.The Generator must be on a solid, level surface that is capable of sup- porting its weight and the forces ap- plied during use.

7.Check the Gearbox oil level (see maintenance section of this manual).

8.Before operating the Generator, it must be grounded. Grounding Ter- minals are provided on the Control Panel and on the Rear Vent panel of the Generator. Use #6 AWG copper wire or larger to connect to an earth- driven copper or brass grounding rod. Do not operate the Generator without grounding.
