Setup
NOTICE
Proper system setup, startup, and shutdown procedures are critical to electrical equipment reliability. The following procedures ensure steady voltage. Failure to follow these procedures will cause voltage fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment and void the warranty.
NOTICE
Do not remove or separate the proportioner, engine assembly, or power distribution box from the pallet. Failure to leave the component mounting intact will cause heating efficiency degradation, and potential unsafe wiring and grounding.
Locate Reactor
If system was not ordered with the air compressor, go to step 2.
1.For systems with an air compressor, install the air tank bracket assembly and connect air lines. For systems without an air compressor, order air compressor kit 24K335. See manual 3A1902 for complete installation instructions.
NOTICE
Only use air compressors with a continuous run head unloader. Repeated compressor motor startups will cause errors and shutdown the system. See Technical Specifications, page 102 for recommended air compressors and requirements. Other models may be used, but motor must not stop and start during operation.
a.Use at least two people to install the air tank assembly (AT). Secure to frame with supplied screws (AS) and nuts (AN). See illustration on next page.
b.Remove
c.Connect air line (A1) between compressor and air tank inlet.
Setup
d.Connect air line (A2) between proportioner air inlet to air dryer outlet.
e.Connect pilot air lines (A3 and A4) between the air compressor and air tank.
f.Secure water drain lines (A5 and A6) to the frame and drain outlets.
2.Install hose rack, if ordered. See manual 3A1903 for detailed instructions.
3.Locate Reactor on a level surface that is nonporous and diesel resistant, such as diamond plate. See Dimensions, page 96, for clearance and mounting hole dimensions.
Note
Leave at least 1 ft. (0.3m) distance from the engine side of the pallet to any wall for engine maintenance access. See Fig. 27, page 37.
4.Do not expose Reactor to rain or below 20°F
NOTICE
To ensure the heat exchanger control valves open and close properly, do not store Reactor below 20°F
5.If a wall will be installed between the proportioner and generator, remove the fuel tank and battery bracket. See
Trailer Setup Guidelines, page 35 for instructions.
6.To mount in a trailer, use forklift to move Reactor by inserting the forks through the Reactor pallet frame. It is recommended to lift from the engine side. Bolt pallet directly to trailer frame.
Note
Use Pallet Support Kit 24L911 (rollers not included) to relocate pallet to mounting location when forks are unavailable. See kit manual for instructions.
NOTICE
Keep the vent holes in the bottom of the proportioner cabinet open. Make sure there is unobstructed incoming air for the cooling fan at the top of the proportioner cabinet that blows air up into the electric motor. Failure to provide unobstructed incoming air can cause the motor to overheat.
