INSTALLATION
The gimbal generator is an electrical machine that must be handled,
installed, started up, inspected and repaired solely by qualifi ed
specialists who must have:
-
specifi c technical training
-
knowledge of applicable technical standards
-
knowledge of safety provisions.
The gimbal generator is mechanically coupled to another machine.
Therefore the installer is responsible for ensuring that during opera-
tion there is adequate protection against the hazard of contact with
moving parts or with live parts.
1. DELIVERY - HANDLING - STORAGE
1.1 On receiving the machine, inspect it to check that it has not been
damaged during transport.
1.2 When handling use hoisting equipment with adequate load-bear-
ing capacity. The lifting ring, or eyebolt, on the generator has
been made for lifting only the alternator. Do not tip the packing;
protect it from rain or damp.
1.3 When unpacking the machine, all packing material (i.e. plastic
bags, polystyrene foam, nails, cardboard, etc.) must be kept out
of the reach of children since it is a potential hazard.
1.4 If the machine is not installed immediately it should be stored
in a covered, clean and damp-proof place. Before starting up
after long shutdowns it is advisable to ascertain the insulation
resistance of all the windings. With the machine at ambient
temperature the resistance should measure over 1 MΩ. If this
is not the case it should be oven dried (at approx. 50-60°C).
1.5 The packing material supplied with the machine must be
disposed of in compliance with the respective regulations in
force.

2. START UP
2.1 Before starting up the machine check that:
a)
the protective hood (fi g.1) is attached, in good order and
properly anchored. The hood must cover the gimbal ring guard
by at least 50mm and must prevent accidental hand contact with
moving parts.
b)
the generator shaft and the gimbal ring are properly aligned
with the tractor's power take off.
c)
the three links (fi g.2) are perfectly fastened and locked with
the accessories provided. If wrongly anchored the machine
could tip over causing a severe hazard for the operator.
2.2 On the fi rst start up the overgear must be fi lled with oil and
changed after the fi rst 50 hours of operation. After this its level
should be checked. In the version with sight glass the level
should be near to its centre. In the version without sight glass
slacken the sump cap until oil begins to leak out. If the level
is too low top up the oil from the top of the overgear. For a
quick, total oil change unscrew both the top and sump cap of
the overgear body. Only use SAE .90EP gear oils. To dispose
of the old oil, apply only to specialised centres and follow the
respective national regulations in force.
2.3 Before starting up, check all connections are in order and that
nothing is obstructing rotation of the moving parts. Make sure
that the cooling air suction and exhaust ducts are free.
2.4 For the electrical connections comply with current safety stand-
ards. Check that the ID plate data comply with the characteristics
of the plant to which the machine is connected.
Connect the machine to earth by means of a peg connected
to the earth terminal on the chassis.
2.5 Check that the switches are set to OFF and that all guards
are mounted and in working order, both on the generator
and on the tractor.
