Good Day: Tent stuff is also in the manuals for the system. I attached manuals the TM used to derived from. Hope it helps. On the compressor, you can MIG weld that case. Then test it if it runs and they did not drill into anything to determine if a repair is worth it. They are supposed to...
Good Day: The TM says install till it bottoms on the toothed flywheel with the tip usually between 2 teeth and back out till you get 2VAC. Uh, we found if you bottom out turn it back about 4 turns, then using dead crank as you screw it in slowly obtain your AC and snug the locknut and don't...
Good Day: I remember 151s set up with a roll bar looking thing so the CG could stand while passing troops, with cushions on those rear fenders. I just saw in German TV a documentary showing IKE, Patton, and 2 other Generals in a 151 back seat with 2 of them sitting on the fenders all hanging...
Good Day: Try this; Pick a pump to play with. Pull it leaving everything else alone. Once in your hand, I usually put the spring end against something and push it in a tiny bit and I check the little side tang movement for freedom. Then do this- check rack movement in the engine by moving...
The actual use was a Power Plant (called MicroGrids) that would use multiple gen sets in stand by and start one when required and put it online to provide more power when the demand was higher all automatically and the gens were an A model using a DCSa control box. It would also remove a gen...
Good day: Attached is a color coded schematic. Try these steps...(what does the SGT say; supervisor; LAR) I am a retired P&E LAR Mater Tech or STR
1. all off and open, disconnect battery negative then positive, and with a DMM, (Multimeter) measure B+ to B- resistance. Something GOOD, almost...
Sir: Seems you get a lot of responses. Overwhelming so Ill be short in my war and peace. operators manual says L1 to L3 is your 240VAC and Neutral and ground are labeled and all as house power you are used to. You can remove that link bar or not, your choice, but ground and Neutral are...
Please read the manuals. Here is one thing I reported up the chain in about 2004. A unit had 007Bs that over revved, and others that would not shut down. I showed them what I learned 2 decades earlier when CAT put these pumps out on their new engines at that time and while showing about 10...
They tried to show in the manual the part of the S12 that was sticking out . I was explained to that the ON is a BIT 1 in digital electronics. I explained back Gen Mech were not in no sense of the word trained in digital electronics, so the manual can be a bit foggy. Now there were PICs of...
Good Day: Manuals, please down load them, and then use them, both operators and maintenance versions. These in the forum you are allowed to have. The latest are Distro code C you are not. I am the guy who proofed the manuals. All of them. The work packages were almost not touched. Yes...
Good day: Please do not start the gen anymore until you check out the regulator TR1 and AC Voltage adjust combinations. I attached a sheet that also allows you the check the main gen as it is not rated at 500+ VAC for very long before it kinda sorta makes lots of black wires inside. Taked...
This was as i was retiring and becoming an ECU and Gen answer man. Hid away I found TM 11-4940-483-13&P dated 1 March 1989 with Change 1 March 1997, LIW PIN 063649, it is 8.94 Megabytes large. There is also a parts manual -14&P. This was a maintenance shelter usually mounted on a 2.5 Ton or 5...
I am very glad you found your issue with AC output. I attached several PDF docs. I always use the DMM to set things as the gages are only close. You can think the gen of having 2 sides. DC is usually the engine and AC is the gen. Connected by the mag pickup and S16 and the S1 provides a...
Flop open the control panel by the half turn thumb screws on the top of the control panel. If the rope is busted fix it with any rope that size handy. Helps to save control panel items. Folks sent 2 PICs of the AUX Control panel. Right side of the control box with switches on it and an CB1...
We found a no answer means 1 of 2 things. 1- All is good. Found the issue or is using the test wire. 2. he is busy with daily life and had no time to say. because of the all of a sudden thing, I will bet a bad wire or the relay, or something happened behind the AUX control panel. Found only...
Cool! THIS IS NOT A DRASH. This is a PSI system and the issued 6 different models, and it was a combined effort done for the defunct Base X system the ARMY did away with about 10 years ago.
I had to try to support this with what I am sending you. Some old guy named Dave reversed engineered...
Good Day. I'm Dave. This is gonna sound funny, any way to find out what model your working with? I'll bet I have the info your looking for but everyone called a gen trailer with an ECU on it a DRASH and there are about 30 different models and they do not all have the same things in them. I...
OK, you got 9000 watts. Run it with that or about 8500 Watts and after a while it may even provide more as the rings seat again and wear into place. For now use 9000 as your 100%. When you get time do a compression test. Compare with manual., and each other. At the moment, it sounds like...
Seems two folks using the same stuff with same results kinda sorta resolves the issue. Nominal readings in the desert at 115F outside was around 195-200 full load. The thing was designed to operate to 120, but we had warmer days. Readings usually stayed at 200-205 unless the dust plugged the...
