| STATOR/ROTOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT (continued) |
|
19.The wires connected to the solenoid side of the engine can remain attached, in most cases.
20.Compress the spring clamp and remove the fuel line from the fuel
21.Remove the fuel return line from the fitting in the top of the fuel tank. Plug this line and fit- ting as well.
22.Remove the engine baffle.
23.Attach the hoist to the lift bale and raise the hoist until it just begins to support some of the weight of the generator and engine.
24.Remove the two nuts holding the generator to the support bracket, and the two screws holding the engine support brackets to the rubber engine mounts.
25.Raise the hoist to lift the engine and genera- tor assembly just high enough to clear the generator mounting studs. The center baffle will need to be gently pushed forward to pro- vide clearance between the fan and the Chopper module. In some cases, the Chopper module mounting screws may need to loosened or removed so the chopper mod- ule can be positioned to provide additional clearance. If the chopper module screws are removed, the chopper module will need to be supported.
26. Rotate the engine and generator assembly
180 degrees and line up the engine mounting bracket to the rubber engine mounts. Be careful that the wiring still attached to the engine does not get damaged. Disconnect additional engine wiring, and/or remove addi- tional cable ties if necessary.
27. Replace the screws, which had been removed from those mounts, and tighten.
28. Use wooden blocks or other means to securely support the flywheel end of the engine, and remove the hoist from the lift bale.
29. The generator is now in position for easy removal.
30. Remove the plastic blower and flat washer from the rotor shaft by turning the blower
DO NOT HOLD THE ROTOR BY THE SLIP RINGS.
31. Use the hoist, along with lifting straps or chains to support the generator stator assembly, and then remove the screws attaching it to the engine.
32. Separate the stator assembly from the engine; in most cases, two screwdrivers can be used to pry the stator away from the engine. Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces of the engine or stator frame assem- bly. If the bearing is binding in the tolerance ring, it may be necessary to use a gear puller to Separate the stator frame from the engine.
33.Carefully side the stator assembly off the rotor.
