9-3. Run-In Procedure Using Resistance Grid
|
|
| Y Stop engine. | |
|
|
| Y Do not touch hot exhaust | |
|
|
|
| pipe, engine parts, or load |
|
|
|
| bank/grid. |
|
|
| Y Keep exhaust and pipe away | |
|
|
|
| from flammables. |
|
|
| 1 | Resistance Grid |
|
|
| Use grid sized for generator rated | |
|
|
| output. | |
|
|
| Turn Off grid. | |
|
|
| 2 | Welding Generator |
6 |
|
| Place A/V range switch in maxi- | |
|
| mum position, A/V control in mini- | ||
|
|
| ||
|
|
| mum position, and Output Selector | |
|
|
| switch (if present) in either DC | |
| 2 | 1 | position. | |
|
|
| 3 | Weld Cables |
|
|
| Connect grid to generator weld | |
|
|
| output terminals using proper size | |
|
|
| weld cables with correct connec- | |
|
|
| tors (polarity is not important). | |
|
|
| 4 | Voltmeter |
|
|
| 5 | |
|
|
| Connect voltmeter and ammeter as | |
|
|
| shown, if not provided on generator. | |
|
|
| Start engine and run for several | |
|
|
| minutes. | |
|
|
| Set grid switches and then adjust | |
|
|
| generator A/V control so load | |
| 5 |
| equals rated generator output (see | |
3 |
| nameplate). | ||
4 |
|
| Check generator and meters after | |
|
|
| first five minutes then every fifteen | |
|
|
| minutes to be sure generator is | |
|
|
| loaded properly. | |
+ |
|
| . Check oil level frequently dur- | |
|
|
|
| ing |
|
|
| After one hour (minimum), place | |
|
|
| A/V control in minimum position, | |
|
|
| then shut down grid to remove load. | |
|
|
| Run engine several minutes at no | |
|
|
| load. | |
|
|
| Y Stop engine and let cool. | |
|
|
| 6 | Engine Exhaust Pipe |
|
|
| Repeat procedure if wetstacking is | |
|
|
| present. | |
