Mechanical Coupling - Mecc Alte ECO-ECP Série Manuel D'instruction Et De Maintenance

Once the generator is coupled with an engine, mounted on a ba-
seframe, or installed on a complete generating set, it cannot be
lifted by its lifting bolts. The relevant instructions for lifting comple-
te generating set should be followed.
Any packing materials should be disposed of via correct waste
disposal methods. Do not discard waste materials into the envi-
ronment.
For transit and storage purposes the generator flange spigot and
the generator end shaft (for the generators in B3-B14 construction
form) have been coated with a rust preventer that can be remo-
ved easily.
This MUST BE removed before assemblying to the engine.
The mechanical coupling is under the sole responsibility of the fi-
nal user, and has to be done at his discretion (for tightening torque
see tab. 24 pag. 43).
A bad alignment may cause vibrations and bearing damages. It is
advisable to verify the compatibility of the engine / generator tor-
sional characteristics (by the customer).
The necessary data for this verification are available on the con-
cerning documentation.
Warnings:
BEFORE STARTING THE ALTERNATOR, CHECK THAT THE
AIR INLETS AND OUTLETS ARE FREE OF ANY OBSTRUC-
TIONS.
THE AIR INLETS SHOULD NOT BE NEAR ANY HEATING
SOURCES. IN ANY CASE, IF NOT SPECIFICALLY REQUE-
STED, THE COOLING AIR TEMPERATURE MUST BE EQUAL
TO THE ENVIRONMENT TEMPERATURE AND NEVER HIGHER
THAN 40°C.
DURING ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING OPERATIONS,
HOLD CAREFULLY BOTH ENDS OF THE PROTECTION GRID
AS THE RELATED MATERIAL ELASTICITY CAN BE HARMFUL.
BEFORE MECHANICAL COUPLING OF SINGLE BEARING
ALTERNATORS, REMOVE THE ROTOR SECURING DEVICE,
IF FITTED, PLACED THERE TO PREVENT ROTOR FROM
SLIPPING.
