Positioning of the Generator The generator house should be positioned at
least 15 meters from the well bore and the mudpit.
Trailer jack pattern is 10.9 meters X 2.4 meter at
24.3 ton including power swivel. If the power swivel and generator are operated on
the trailer each of the 4 jacks must support 6-tons. Additional matting will be necessary.
The generator house is secured to the trailer with4 transport pins. It may be removed from thetrailer and set independently for operation.

Electrical Safety
The generator should be electrically groundedbefore and during operation to a suitable earth
ground.
WARNING - The circuit breaker for each electrical
outlet must be disconnected/turned off before
connecting or disconnecting electrical cords.
WARNINGNever perform work on any
energized electric circuit. All repairs, additions, or
modifications to electrical circuits must be
performed by a qualified electrician.

Starting the engine Generator should be started 1-hour before night fall if
used only at night.
Check all fluid levels engine oil and coolant beforestarting the engine. Fill the fluids to the normaloperating range. Report any contaminated fluid to the
supervisor so that they may be replaced. The engine is equipped with a coolant heating
system. This heating system will preheat the engineand fuel systems. The heating system should beused to preheat the systems when temperatures are
below 5 degrees C. Be certain that all personnel are clear of the engine
before starting the engine.

Daily Maintenance
Check engine oil and coolant fluid levels dailywith the dipsticks or sight glass.
Check to confirm that primary electrical
connections are tight.
Inspect the air cleaner service indicator clean or
replace air cleaner element if indicator is in the
red zone.
Check the fuel/water separator
drain any wateror sediment (drain valve opens countrclockwise).

Welding on or near the generator
WARNING
Welding on the generator or thegenerator house can damage or destroy the
electronic controls unless proper steps are
followed.
Improper grounding can cause damage to drive
train bearings, hydraulic components, and other
equipment.
Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the
component that will be welded.

Welding on EquipmentUse the example here. The current flow
from the welder to the ground clamp of thewelder will not cause damage to any
associated components.
1. Engine
2. Welding electrode
3. Key switch in the OFF position4. Battery disconnect switch in the open
position
5. Disconnected battery cables
6. Battery
7. Electrical/Electronic component
8. Maximize distance between thecomponent that is being welded andany electrical/electronic component.
9. The component that is being welded.
10. Current path of the welder.
11. Ground clamp for the welder.
