WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can KILL. Do not touch live electrical parts.
ELECTRIC ARC FLASH can injure eyes, burn skin, cause equipment damage, and ignite combustible
material. DO NOT use power cables to break load and prevent tools from causing short circuits.
IMPROPER PHASE CONNECTION, PARALLELING, OR USE can damage this and attached
equipment.
Important: - Protect all operating personnel. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in
the Operating/Instruction Manual before installing, operating, or servicing the equipment. Keep
the manual available for future use by all operators.
A. GENERAL
Equipment that supplies electrical power can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment
or property. The operator must strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions. Safe practices
have been developed from past experience in the use of power source equipment. While certain practices be-
low apply only to electrically-powered equipment, other practices apply to engine-driven equipment, and some
practices to both.
B. SHOCK PREVENTION
Bare conductors, or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically-live equipment can fatally
shock a person. Have a certified electrician verify that the equipment is adequately grounded and learn what
terminals and parts are electrically HOT. Avoid hot spots on machine. Use proper safety clothing, procedures,
and test equipment.
The electrical resistance of the body is decreased when wet, permitting dangerous currents to flow
through it. When inspecting or servicing equipment, do not work in damp areas. Stand on a dry rubber mat or
dry wood, use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided. Keep clothing dry, and never
work alone
1. Installation and Grounding of Electrically Powered Equipment
Equipment driven by electric motors (rather than by diesel or gasoline engines) must be installed and
maintained in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or other applicable codes. A
power disconnect switch or circuit breaker must be located at the equipment. Check the nameplate for volt-
age, frequency, and phase requirements. If only 3-phase power is available, connect any single-phase rated
equipment to only two wires of the 3-phase line. DO NOT CONNECT the equipment grounding conductor
(lead) to the third live wire of the 3-phase line, as this makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, which can
cause a fatal shock.
Always connect the grounding lead, if supplied in a power line cable, to the grounded switch box or build-
ing ground. If not provided, use a separate grounding lead. Ensure that the current (amperage) capacity of
the grounding lead will be adequate for the worst fault current situation. Refer to the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 for details. Do not remove plug ground prongs. Use correctly mating receptacles.
2. Output Cables and Terminals
Inspect cables frequently for damage to the insulation and the connectors. Replace or repair cracked or
worn cables immediately. Do not overload cables. Do not touch output terminal while equipment is energized.
3. Service and Maintenance
This equipment must be maintained in good electrical and mechanical condition to avoid hazards stem-
ming from disrepair. Report any equipment defect or safety hazard to the supervisor and discontinue use of
the equipment until its safety has been assured. Repairs should be made by qualified personnel only.
Before inspecting or servicing electrically-powered equipment, take the following precautions:
a. Shut OFF all power at the disconnecting switch or line breaker before inspecting or servicing the
equipment.
b. Lock switch OPEN (or remove line fuses) so that power cannot be turned on accidentally.
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, give oxygen, if available, and have victim lie down. FOR ELECTRI-
CAL SHOCK, turn off power. Remove victim; if not breathing, begin artificial respiration, prefer-
ably mouth-to-mouth. If no detectable pulse, begin external heart massage. CALL EMERGENCY
RESCUE SQUAD IMMEDIATELY.

CHAPTER 1. DESCRIPTION/OPERATION
SECTION 1. DESCRIPTION
1. General
This manual covers two trailer-mounted 60-kVA generator sets manufactured by Hobart Brothers Com-
pany and identified respectively as Specification No. 7009-1, Specification No. 7009A-1, and Specifi-
cation No. 7009B-1
All three generator sets feature an armature with Hoover Bearings, Browning Coupler, and different mag-
netic pole construction for the generator revolving field. This new armature can be easily identified by two
copper rings on each end of the field coils and copper wedges between magnetic poles.
The difference between Specification No. 7009-1and Specification No. 7009A-1 is that Specification No.
7009A-1 features new-style doors on the canopy assembly. Specification 7009B-1 is physically and electri-
cally identical toSpecification 7009A-1, except that a Barber-Colman engine speed governor is used in-
stead of the Woodward governor used on Specification No. 7009-1and Specification No. 7009A-1.
The purpose of these generator sets (Fig. 1) is to generate and deliver regulated, 400-Hz electrical power
to a parked (or towed) aircraft for operation of the aircraft’s electrical equipment when the on-board gener-
ators are not running. See Figure 2 for specifications and capabilities.
2. Orientation
For purpose of orientation and to familiarize operators and maintenance personnel with the location of
components, the radiator is considered to be at the FRONT of the unit. The generator and controls are at
the REAR. RIGHT and LEFT are determined by standing at the rear end facing the machine.
3. Special Features
These generator sets have many special features which are later described more fully under the assem-
blies in which they appear. Some of the main features are mentioned here and described briefly.
A. Protective Monitor
A single, solid-state device (7, Fig. 7) receives signals from all of the fault sensing units in the gener-
ator output circuit and functions to cause the load to be disconnected from the generator if an abnor-
mal condition of voltage, frequency, or load develops.
B. Voltage Regulator
A solid-state, adjustable voltage regulator (Items 13 and 17, Fig. 7) provides automatic voltage regula-
tion at the aircraft (or distribution panel when applicable). The regulator is also adjustable for a variety
of output cable sizes and lengths.
C. Electric Governor
The engine is equipped with an all electric type governor kit (13 and 16, Fig. 3) and other special
equipment more fully described under the engine description.

4. Canopy
A sheet metal enclosure, identified as a canopy (2, Fig. 1), provides protection for the engine, generator
and electrical controls. This generator set is equipped with a canopy having doors on both sides. This
canopy is largely of one-piece construction, with the four access doors of the unit attached to the canopy
top by welded-on piano hinges. Hex-head bolts attach the front and back panels to the canopy top assem-
bly and the frame. Air enters the bottom of the unit into the engine compartment and is discharged
through the radiator by the engine fan. Metal strips are mounted horizontally across the front grille to de-
flect engine fan exhaust air and noise downward. Air entering the generator compartment is circulated
over generator controls and drawn into the rear exciter and generator housings where it passes over all
windings before being discharged by the generator fan.
Panel mounted instruments may be observed through two Plexiglas windows in the left rear door which
covers the control box and engine control panel. The lower window is slanted outward at the bottom to
provide access to engine controls when the door is closed.
Doors on the unit are equipped with flexible rubber draw latches (9, Fig. 1) which prevent excessive door
vibration when the unit is running.
5. Optional Equipment
Two items of optional equipment are presently available for the 7009 & 7009A units: a cold-weather start-
ing aid kit identified as Hobart Part No. 488913 , and a four-wheel trailer with fuel tank, identified as Ho-
bart Part No. 280718 (7009) or Hobart Part No. 281056 (7009A). Refer to TO-186 in Chapter 5 for
information on the four-wheel trailer.
A. Basic Engine
This generator set is equipped with a 6-cylinder, in-line, turbocharged Perkins Diesel engine. See Fig-
ure 2 for general specifications, and see Engine Operator’s Handbook in Chapter 6 for more detailed
information.
An electric governor kit is installed on the engine to replace a conventional, mechanical type. The
electric governor was selected for control of engine speed (and generator output frequency) be-
cause it provides faster engine response to changes in load conditions. This fast response re-
sults in very close frequency control. Refer to the Woodward Governor manual in Chapter 6 for a
detailed description. A brief description is given below:
The governor system consists of the following main components:
(a) Magnetic pickup, (b) Control unit, and, (c) Actuator
(a) Magnetic pickup
This pickup is a device for detecting engine speed. It is mounted in the flywheel housing di-
rectly over the ring gear. It produces an AC signal to the control unit when the ferrous fly-
wheel teeth pass through the magnetic field at the end of the pickup.
(b) Control unit
The control unit (13, Fig. 3) is a box containing a compact assembly of solid state compo-
nents. It receives an AC signal from the magnetic pickup and senses speed changes in the
engine. It provides a voltage signal to the actuator which causes the actuator to move the fuel
control lever as required to maintain a predetermined engine speed. Its power is received
from the 12-V DC battery system.
(c) Actuator
The actuator (16, Fig. 3) supplies the force needed to move and position the fuel lever as re-
quired to maintain a constant engine speed. The actuator is operated by a DC signal from the
control unit.
Items in the 12-volt engine electrical system that are provided by Hobart Brothers are:
(a) A heavy-duty motor starter
(b) Alternator with voltage regulator
(c) Starting switch
(d) Wiring harness
The diesel-engine air cleaner (Fig. 4) is so constructed that air enters it through the perforated cy-
lindrical body of the air cleaner itself, and is filtered in the process before being passed on to the
engine intake manifold assembly.
The exhaust system consists of a noise reducing muffler (2, Fig.5) which is connected by a pipe
(1) to the exhaust manifold. The tail pipe (3) directs exhaust and noise upward.
This radiator is a one-piece item designed for long periods of operation without servicing. Refer
to Section 2-1, Para. 7, G, for servicing procedure.

D. Generator
The 400-Hz generator is a brushless, revolving field, three-phase, alternating current type. The rotor
assembly is mounted by two, permanently lubricated, sealed, ball bearings. The front bearing is sup-
ported by the fan housing; the rear bearing is mounted in the exciter housing. Both of these housings
are attached to the main generator stator housing. The front end of the rotor shaft extends forward be-
yond the rear bearing and into the exciter stator housing. The exciter rotor is mounted on this shaft ex-
tension with a Woodruff key and is secured by a washer and 1/2"-13 thd, cap screw. A rectifier with
six diodes is mounted on the exciter rotor and converts exciter AC output to DC for excitation of the
generator revolving fields. The exciter DC output to the generator fields, and consequently the gener-
ator output, is controlled by the amount of DC voltage supplied to exciter fields by the static voltage
regulator. A centrifugal, radial-blade fan which is part of the hub and coupling assembly, draws cool-
ing air over all internal windings. Air enters at the exciter end and is discharged at the drive end. The
complete generator is bolted to the engine flywheel housing.
Internally, the control box contains a solid-state voltage regulator, and electrical and safety de-
vices designed to protect the aircraft electrical system against damage which could result from
overvoltage, undervoltage, overfrequency, or underfrequency. Also contained therein are devices
for the protection and control of the generator output electrical system.
Engine operation is monitored by an ammeter (4) a coolant temperature gage (8), and an oil pres-
sure gage (10). An hourmeter (6) records engine operating time.
(a) Ammeter
The ammeter (4) indicates the direction and value of current flow in the 12-V DC electrical
system. Its graduated range is from -60 A through 0 A, to +60 A.
(b) Temperature gage
The temperature gage (8) is a mechanical type of unit construction. It consists of a panel
mounted indicating mechanism which is connected by a capillary tube to a bulb mounted in
the engine cooling system. The gage indicates engine coolant temperature in the range of
100F to 220F.
The load contactor (3, Fig. 9) is a sealed unit which contains a magnetic operating coil and four
sets of contacts. The three larger contacts conduct three-phase AC generator output. A smaller
contact set is connected in the protective monitor circuit and supplies 12-V DC power used by
sensing relays to signal the protective monitor when a fault occurs. Three-phase, 400-Hz gener-
ator output power is conducted to the load contactor by 2/0 cables which pass through 3 sets of
current transformers.
These current transformers are located beneath the control box support panel directly below the
control box.
(a) Ammeter current transformers (2, Fig. 10)
Three current transformers lower the output load current to a lesser value of definite ratio
(250-A to 5-A) which will operate the ammeter (4, Fig. 6) movement without damage. The am-
meter dial scale is graduated and numbered so that the ammeter pointer will indicate the true
load current value rather than the meter movement current.
(b) Line-drop current transformers (3, Fig. 10)
The three line-drop current transformers in conjunction with burden resistors, detect the mag-
nitude and power factor of current flowing from generator to load. They feed a signal to the
voltage regulator which interprets the signal and alters the exciter field current as required to
maintain a constant predetermined voltage at the load.
(c) Overload current transformers (4, Fig. 10)
Three overload current transformers, in conjunction with burden resistors monitor the output
load current in each of the three output phases, and supply a reduced value current signal to
the overload module (5, Fig 7)
The overload module is located inside the generator control box. This overload module (5, Fig 7)
is a solid-state device designed to interpret a signal from the current transformers and to send a
signal to the protective monitor module (7, Fig. 7) when an overload condition exists in any gener-
ator output phase. A pull-apart electrical connector is mounted on the owerload module to provide
quick-disconnect facilities for all wiring to the module. The overload module is equipped with a
hermetically sealed, reed-type relay. Relay contacts are normally open. The solid-state circuitry is
designed to close relay contacts when output current in ANY phase reaches 125% of normal
rated output capacity. The closed relay sends a signal to the protective monitor. This signal
“gates” the overload SCR (silicone-controlled rectifier) in the protective monitor and interrupts the
load contactor holding circuit, allowing the load contactor to open.
The following is a list of overload module characteristics:
NOTE: The overload protective system will function when any phase carries 123% to 127% of
rated load.
At 125% load the module will function in 4 minutes.
At 150% load the module will function in 16 seconds.
At 200% load the module will function in 4 seconds.
NOTE: All times are plus or minus 25% and are nonadjustable.
(4) Rectifier
A diode bridge rectifier is located inside the generator control box. (See Fig. 7, item 10). This di-
ode-bridge rectifier receives 400-Hz AC from phase C of the generator output an converts it to a
pulsating, direct current for energization of the load contactor coil only. This DC coil-holding circuit
is controlled indirectly be controlling the 400-Hz AC to the rectifier. The ground circuit for the recti-
fier’s AC supply must pass through the relay contacts in the protective monitor module to ground
cable N. Therefore, any time a protective device functions to open the protective monitor relay,
the rectifier’s AC circuit is opened. No DC is then available for the load contactor coil, hence, the
load contactor opens.
Current Transformers
Figure 10
CAUTION: Be sure the cooling system antifreeze solution is adequate to protect below lowest
temperature expected.
NOTE: For antifreeze protection, use a solution of 50% permanent antifreeze (Ethylene glycol)
and 50% clean water.
(c) Engine lubricating oil
Oil level should be at “FULL” mark on oil level gage rod. See the John Deere Shop Manual
for oil recommendations.
(6) Check air cleaner
The air cleaner (Sect. 1-1, Fig. 3, item 8) is a “dry” type. Be sure there are no papers, tapes, or
other material covering the air inlet area.
NOTE: Conductor size recommended for AC output is 2/0 size. Use No. 12 size for control (E and
F terminals).
Large cables (A, B, C, N) should be equipped with terminals having at least a 3/8-inch diameter
mounting hole. Mounting hole in small leads (E and F) should be at least 1/4-inch diameter.
(5) Remove the terminal cover on the load side of the contactor and connect the phase cable terminal
lugs to the appropriate terminal studs on the contactor: cable lug “A” to terminal stud “A”, “B” to “B”,
and “C” to “C”.
(6) Connect the cable’s neutral terminal lug securely to the neutral (ground) stud on the side of the
load contactor mounting bracket.
(7) Tighten terminal nuts securely and replace the terminal cover on the load contactor. Connect small
plug interlock leads “E” and “F” to terminal “E-F” on the side of the load contactor mounting bracket.
(8) Tighten clamp screws securely on the left side of the unit, but avoid damage to cable insulation.
(9) Replace lexan cover over load contactor.
A. General
(1) The unit should be prepared for storage as soon as possible after being removed from service.
(2) The unit should be stored in a building which is dry and which may be heated during winter
months.
(3) Moisture absorbing chemicals are available for use where excessive dampness is a problem, how-
ever the unit must be completely packaged and sealed if moisture absorbing chemicals are to be ef-
fective.
B. Temporary Storage When storing the unit for 30 days or less, prepare as follows:
(1) Lubricate the unit completely in accordance with instructions in Sect. 2-1. This will include chang-
ing engine oil, and all filter elements.
(2) Start the engine and operate for about two minutes so that all internal engine components will be
coated with new oil.
NOTE: Do not drain the fuel system or crankcase after this run.
(3) Make certain the cooling system antifreeze solution is adequate to protect below the lowest tem-
peratures expected during the storage period. See 2-1; Para. 7, D. Be sure the solution is thoroughly
mixed.
(4) Clean the exterior of the engine with fuel oil. Dry with clean rags and compressed air.
(5) Seal all engine openings. Use a waterproof, vaporproof material which is strong enough to resist
puncture damage from air pressures.
(b) Start the engine and operate at a fast idle (800 to 1000 RPM) until coolant temperature has
reached at least 140 deg F.
(c) Operate normal operating controls.
(2) If weekly operation is not possible, prepare and protect the engine in accordance with instructions
in the Perkins Diesel Operator’s Manual.
(3) To protect the generator and other electrical components, the complete unit should be packaged,
using moisture proof packaging and sealing material. Place containers of moisture absorbing chemi-
cals, such as silica-gel, in the unit before packaging.
SECTION 3. OPERATION
1. General
This section contains information and instructions for the safe and efficient operation of the equipment.
Operating instructions are presented in step-by-step sequence of procedures to be followed in supplying
400-Hz power to an aircraft.
27. Automatic voltage control potentiometer (R5) 30. Cable length compensation rheostat
28. Cable size compensation rheostat 31. Voltage regulator fuse (5A)
29. Line-drop compensation on/off switch
D. Power Delivery
(1) Place engine-generator control switch (15) in BUILD-UP-VOLTAGE position momentarily, then al-
low it to position itself in GEN position. The electric governor will immediately increase engine speed
to 2000 RPM and maintain it.
(2) Observe generator instruments. Frequency meter (1) should indicate exactly 400 Hz. Voltmeter
(2) should indicate 115 V AC when line switch (5) is in ANY line-to-neutral position, A-N, B-N, or C-N,
and should read 200-V AC when it is in any line-to-line position, A-B, B-C, or C-A.
(3) The final step in delivering power is closing the load contactor. When satisfactory frequency and
voltage values are indicated by the instruments, close the load contactor by momentarily placing the
load contactor control switch (17) in the top (spring loaded), CLOSE position. The green indicating
light (19) should glow at once to indicate that the load contactor is closed and power is available at
the aircraft. As soon as the light glows, release the switch. It will automatically return to the center ON
position.
NOTE: If the indicating light (19) should “go-out” as soon as the switch is released, and no fault
lights are ON, it indicates that 28.5-V DC holding current is not being supplied from the aircraft
to the plug-interlock relay.
Correct the condition an again operate the load contactor control switch (17) as above.
(4) It is recommended that the operator check output voltage and current in each of the three phases
early in the power delivery run. Use the meter switch (4) to select the phase and line-to-line or line-to-
neutral voltage. If the load is changing, it is good operating practice to observe the instruments until
load conditions stabilize.
(5) A condition of overvoltage, undervoltage, underfrequency, overfrequency, or overload in the out-
put circuit will automatically open the load contactor and turn on the applicable indicating light to sig-
nal the operator which of the above faults caused the protective monitor system to operate. After the
fault has been corrected, press the reset switch (6) to turn off the indicating light and reset the protec-
tive relay system. Proceed with power delivery by operating the load contactor switch.
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE - Electric shock or fire can kill! Never disconnect
the output cable while power is being delivered.
3. Trailer Operation
A. Towing
Observe the following rules when towing the trailer.
(1) Be sure all output cables are disconnected and properly stowed.
(2) Be sure parking brake is released.
(3) Avoid turns which are shorter than the steering linkage will freely allow.
(4) Avoid dangerous speed and sudden turns.
CHAPTER 2. SERVICE
SECTION 1. MAINTENANCE
1. General
To make certain the generator set is always ready for operation, it must be inspected and maintained
regularly and systematically so that defects may be discovered and corrected before they result in serious
damage or failure of the equipment.
WARNING: Electric shock, flying parts, or fire can kill or injure! Stop operation
immediately if a serious or possibly dangerous fault is discovered.
2. Inspection
A periodic inspection should be established and maintained. A suggested inspection/check schedule is
provided in 2-2, Figure 1, however it may be modified as required to meet varying operating and environ-
mental conditions. If the generator set is mounted on a tow tractor, it is suggested that inspections be co-
ordinated.
3. Lubrication
A. General
Proper lubrication is one of the most important steps in good maintenance procedures. Proper lubri-
cation means the use of correct lubricants and adherence to a proper time schedule. Frequency of lu-
brication and recommended lubricants are indicated in Figure 1.
B. Generator
The 400-Hz generator REQUIRES NO LUBRICATION. The rotor is supported by two ball bearing as-
semblies which are lubricated and sealed at the factory for lifetime, maintenance-free operation. It is
suggested that generator bearings be checked after 5000 hours of operation.
C. Generator Controls
Generator controls and instruments require no scheduled periodic lubrication. A few drops of oil may
be required on door hinges occasionally to insure free an quiet operation.
D. Engine
Although the engine and its accessories require no more attention than any other similar installation,
they still inherently require a major portion of the generator set lubrication and maintenance. Recom-
mendations regarding engine lubrication have been taken from the engine manufacturer’s “Operator’s
Manual” and incorporated here to make them more readily available to operators and maintenance
personnel.
Time schedules indicated on the Lubrication Chart, Fig. 1, are approximate. They are based on
average operating conditions. It may be necessary to lubricate more frequently under severe oper-
ating conditions such as: low engine temperatures, excessively heavy loads and high oil tempera-
tures, or intermittent operation. However, time intervals should not exceed those indicated in the
chart without careful evaluation.
Oil recommended by the engine manufacturer is identified by a military specification number, MIL-
L-2104B. Because of the substantial increase in additive concentration in some MIL-L-2104B oils
to meet service “MS” requirements, recommended oil is qualified still further by the following limita-
tions.
(a) Zinc, as zinc diorganodithiophosphate, between a minimum of 0.07 and a maximum of 0.10
percent by weight.
(b) Sulfated ash (ASTM D-874) of 1.00 percent maximum by weight, except lubricants that con-
tain only barium detergent-dispersants where 1.50 percent by weight is allowed.
Diesel lubricating oil specifications are discussed in the Perkins Diesel Operator’s Manual in
Chapter 6.
The use of an SAE-30 grade oil is recommended for year-round service. The engine is equipped
with an ether starting aid to assist in engine starting during cold weather when SAE-30 oil is used.
Multigrade oils are NOT recommended, and should be considered only as a “last resort” to facili-
tate engine starting.
Change engine lubricating oil following the instructions in the Perkins Diesel Operator’s Manual in
Chapter 6. Lube oil capacity for this engine is 15-1/2 quarts.
Change oil filter following the instructions in the Perkins Diesel Operator’s Manual in Chapter 6.
E. Starter
The starting motor is lubricated at assembly and should be relubricated only when the starter is re-
moved from the engine or when disassembled. Remove pipe plugs on outside of motor and apply a
few drops of light engine oil to the oil wicks.
F. Trailer
The front axle assembly, drawbar, and steering linkage are equipped with high-pressure lubrica-
tion fittings. Lubricate the trailer every 400 hours. Use a good quality chassis lubricant such as
Sinclair Litholene Industrial No. 2, Mobil Mobilplex 47, or equivalent. Clean lube fittings before ap-
plying grease.
Lubricate and check wheel bearing adjustment every 800 hours or semi-annually. Use a good
quality automotive bearing lubricant grease (Specification MIL-G-10924B or equivalent). Refer
also to TO-186 in Chapter 5 of this manual for additional information on trailer lubrication.
Lube Oil Check oil level daily or after every 10 hours of use. Change oil after
200 hours or one month of use. Use heavy duty oil such as SAE-30
(MIL-L-2104D). Engine lube oil capacity: 18 quarts.
Lube Oil Filter Change oil filter every 200 hours or 1 month of use.
Fuel Oil Filter Drain filter daily. Change filter element every 600 hours or 4 months of use.
Starter Lubricate as needed, using heavy duty engine oil such as SAE-30
(MIL-L-2104B). Lubricate only when starter is removed from engine.
Coolant Check coolant level daily. Service and maintain coolant system according
to para.6. Engine coolant capacity: 20 quarts.
Air Cleaner Check air cleaner periodically and clean or change it as necessary. (Refer
to Para. 4 for servicing instructions).
B. Cleaning Instructions
CAUTIONS: (1) Do not rap the air cleaner on a hard surface to clean it, and (2) Never leave the
air inlet ducting open longer than necessary during the service procedure.
CAUTIONS: (1) Do not use compressed air higher in pressure than 100 psi, and (2) Do not use
compressed air cleaning when the filter media is wet.
C. Disposal
Normal trash pick-up is acceptable. NEVER burn the air filter for disposal.
5. Engine Fuel
A. Quality
The quality of fuel oil used in the diesel engine is a major factor in long engine life and performance.
Fuel oil must be clean, completely distilled, stable, and non-corrosive. Only distillate fuel No. 1D is rec-
ommended for use both summer and winter.
CAUTION: Consult the “fuel oil selecting chart” in the engine operator’s manual before
substituting another grade of fuel.
B. Fuel Filter
Refer to Perkins Diesel Shop Manual in Chapter 6 for instructions on removal and replacement of fuel
filter elements.
B. Radiator Cap
(1) General
A pressure valve is built into the radiator cap. It is designed to open at a pressure of approxi-
mately seven pounds per square inch.
(2) Removal
To remove, turn the cap to the left (counterclockwise) to the safety stop. When all pressure is re-
leased, press down on the cap and continue to turn until the cap is free to be removed.
WARNING: Hot steam and fluids will severely burn! when removing cap from a
very hot radiator, do not turn cap past safety stop until all pressure or steam
has escaped. use protective clothing. Allow engine to cool before adding
coolant.
(3) Installation
When installing the cap be sure it is turned clockwise as far as it will go so that the pressure re-
taining valve will be functional.
CAUTION: Use only a corrosion inhibitor that is compatible with aluminum. do not use
inhibitors labeled as “acid neutralizer”.
CAUTIONS: (a) Do not use “methanol” or alcohol as an antifreeze, and (b) Do not use two
different types of antifreeze. Mixed solutions (two types) make it impossible to determine if the
cooling system has adequate protection against freezing.
(1) General
A permanent type, (Ethylene Glycol) antifreeze is recommended for use in the cooling system.
Check solution frequently to be sure the cooling system has sufficient protection against freezing.
NOTE: (a) When testing the solution, be sure the coolant is at operating temperature. (b) Follow
manufacturer’s instructions on tester.
The following table (Figure 2) indicates the freezing points of solutions varying from 16% anti-
freeze to 65% antifreeze. Percentages are based on permanent type (Ethylene Glycol) antifreeze.
Most antifreeze containers have a similar table printed on the label.
(2) Fill the cooling system with clean coolant (Ref. Para. 7, H).
(3) Add a flushing compound, that is compatible with aluminum, to the cooling system in accordance
with the instructions furnished with the compound.
(4) Start the engine and flush the system as directed by the instructions furnished with the compound.
(5) After the system has been flushed and thoroughly cleaned of the compound, refill the clean cool-
ant (Ref. Para. 7, H).
7. Generator Maintenance
The 400-Hz generator requires no maintenance or service other than periodic cleaning. The unit is
brushless, and bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed.
A. Cleaning
The generator may be cleaned by careful use of compressed air and/or a good, SAFE commercial
cleaner. Steam cleaning of the generator is no longer recommended because the use of steam and
harsh chemical compounds may result in damage to insulation and other generator components.
WARNING: Electric shock and fire can kill or injure! Be sure the unit is completly
dry before operating. Do not use a flammable solvent.
B. Adjustment
The generator itself requires no adjustment. Adjustment procedures for generator controls will be cov-
ered in Section 2-3.
8. Drive Belts
A single belt from the crankshaft pulley is used to drive the alternator and water pump. For proper engine
operation this belt should be in good condition and at proper tension at all times.
B. Belt Adjustment
To adjust belt tension, loosen the alternator mounting bolts and change the position of the alternator.
Upon obtaining the correct tension, re-tighten both alternator mounting bolts.
When new belt is fitted, it is necessary to run the engine for a short period to allow the new belt to set-
tle into the grooves of the pulleys and thus show any initial stretching that is going to occur. Recheck
belt tension after running the engine and adjust as necessary.
9. Battery Maintenance
A. General
Two 12-volt batteries supply power for operation of the engine electrical system, clearance and panel
lights, and for flashing the generator exciter field.
C. Battery Care
(1) Never allow a battery which has been removed from the unit to sit on concrete, ground, or metal
unless proper insulation is provided. A wooden platform or board will provide sufficient insulation.
(2) Maintain stored batteries in a charged condition.
(3) Be sure batteries are fastened securely in their compartment to avoid damage from vibration.
(4) Maintain battery fluid at proper level.
(5) Keep battery terminal posts and lead connectors clean.
WARNING: Never allow sparks or open flame near batteries. Avoid spilling
electrolyte on hands or clothing.
D. Liquid Level
The electrolyte in each cell should be above the plates at all times to prevent battery failure. Check
the level of the electrolyte every two weeks. When electrolyte level is low, add pure distilled water. Do
not use hydrant water or any water which has been in contact with a metal container. Acid should
never be added except by a skilled batteryman.
NOTE: It is especially important to keep the battery at full charge for cold weather operation. Add
distilled water to the battery in freezing temperatures only when the engine is to operate forseveral
hours, to thoroughly mix the water and the electrolyte, or damage to the battery will result from
the water freezing.
Connect battery to the tester according to instructions furnished with the instrument. Test battery
according to tester instructions. If the test determines that battery has acceptable voltage, this indi-
cates that battery has output capacity and will accept a charge, if required.
(a) Remove filler caps and check the specific gravity of electrolyte in each cell. If specific gravity is
1.230 or below, add water if necessary and charge the battery until it is fully charged. A fully
charged battery will give a specific gravity reading of from 1.265 to 1.285. The specific gravity of a
fully discharged battery may range from 1.140 down to 1.120.
NOTE: The battery is fully charged when all cells are gassing freely, and specific gravity ceases
to rise for three successive readings taken at hourly intervals.
(b) If the Battery-Starter Test indicated that battery voltage was below the acceptable voltage
value, test each cell with the hydrometer. If specific gravity readings between any two cells is 50
points (0.050) or more, the battery isn’t satisfactory for service and should be replaced.
B. Generator Exciter
Provisions have been made to allow removal of the generator exciter without disturbing or removing
the complete generator.
(a) Remove the rear bumper from the generator set. Do this by removing the four 3/8" bolts on
the back of the bumper and the two 1/4" bolts underneath at either end.
(b) Remove the back canopy panel from the generator set. Do this by removing:
• The four 1/4" bolts on top of the panel.
• The three 1/4" bolts at the bottom on the back of the panel.
• The two 1/4" bolts underneath.
• The three 1/4" bolts on each side holding the side panels.
• The one 1/4" bolt on each side holding the cable rails.
• The one 1/4" bolt on each side (underneath) holding fenders.
(c) Remove main frame rear cross member by removing four attaching bolts (see Fig. 3).
(d) Remove generator back plate. Do this by removing the six 1/4" bolts around the circumfer-
ence of the back plate,

E. Check trailer axles, linkage, and wheel bearings for proper lubrication. (Refer to Section 2-1, Para. 3,
F.) Refer also to TO-186 in Chapter 5 of this manual.
SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENT/TEST
1. General
Adjustment and test procedures are most applicable to testing and adjusting the generator set after a ma-
jor repair, replacement of parts, or overhaul.
CAUTION: Engine must not be running when flashing exciter field if voltage regulator damage
is to be prevented. Do not leave regulated/diagnostic switch in diagnostic position after
flashing field.
(11) At initial start-up after generator overhaul or repair, “flash” the exciter field by momentarily apply-
ing 12-V DC to the field windings. To flash the exciter field, place the Regulated/Diagnostic switch (25,
Fig. 1) in the DIAGNOSTIC position for 3 to 5 seconds. Then return it to the REGULATED position.
(12) Check position of load contactor “on-off” switch (17, Fig. 1), and engine-generator control switch
(15).
(a) Load contactor switch (17) must be in OFFposition.
(b) Engine-generator control switch (15) must be in IDLE position.
(2) Check operation of engine instruments: DC ammeter (14, Fig. 1), coolant temperature indicator
(18), oil pressure gage (20), and hourmeter (16).
(3) Check engine idle speed. Should be 825 to 875 RPM. Adjust, if necessary, in accordance with in-
structions in Engine Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: A stroboscope is required for this check.
(4) Again check for oil, fuel, and coolant leaks and correct any leaking condition.
(5) Position switches and controls for automatic voltage regulation and power delivery as follows:
(a) Place regulated-diagnostic switch (25, Fig. 1) in REGULATED position.
(b) Place test-bank switch (26) in AIRCRAFT position.
(c) Meter switch (4) may be in any position other than the directly downward (OFF) position.
(d) If the adjustment of the voltage regulator rheostat potentiometer (27) has been disturbed, posi-
tion the knob to mid-range position.
(6) Bring the engine up to governed speed and also energize the generator by holding the engine-gen-
erator control switch (15) in BUILD-UP-VOLTS position momentarily. Release switch and allow it to
position in “center” RUN position. If the engine “comes-up” to governed speed and a voltage value ap-
pears on the voltmeter (2), the electric governor and excitationdeenergization relay circuits are func-
tioning.
(7) Observe frequency meter (1). If engine speed is properly adjusted, frequency will be exactly 400
Hz. If not, adjust engine governed speed in accordance with Para. 3, E, (3) (d).
(8) Observe voltmeter (2). Use rheostat (27) to adjust voltage to 115 V AC.
(9) Measure governor actuator input signal. See Para. 3, E, (4), (a).
(10) Measure governor magnetic pickup signal. See Para. 3, E, (4), (b).
(11) Check speed limiting governor
Set engine speed-limiting governor to 2300 +/-25 RPM. See Perkins Diesel Handbook in Chapter
6 for instructions on how to set the governor.
(12) Check adjustable voltage range
(a) With regulated/diagnostic switch (25) in REGULATED position, observe voltmeter (2, Fig. 1)
and turn voltage regulator potentiometer (27) CLOCKWISE to full clockwise position. Maximum
voltage should be at least 134 V AC, or higher.
NOTE: If voltage should decrease when the potentiometer is turned clockwise, it indicates that
the voltage regulator PC board is defective. Replace the regulator PC board.
(b) Observe voltmeter and turn rheostat knob to full COUNTERCLOCKWISE position. Minimum
voltage should be 108 V AC, or lower.
(13) Observe voltmeter and adjust rheostat to obtain 115-V AC voltmeter reading.
(14) Position load bank switches, etc., to apply a light load to the generator.
(15) Place the load contactor “on-off” switch (17, Fig. 1) in the top, spring loaded, CLOSE position.
Hold in this position momentarily. Hold in this position momentarily. The indicating light (19) should
glow GREEN and an amperage value should appear on the AC ammeter (3).
(16) Release the switch (17) and allow it to return to the center ON position. The load contactor
should open immediately, and the generator “on” indicating light should go OFF. This is because the
plug interlock relay (Ref. 1-1; 1, Fig. 8) is not receiving power from an outside source of 28 V DC. It in-
dicates that the plug interlock contacts are OPEN as they should be when the interlock coil is not re-
ceiving 28-V DC power.
(17) Open and lower the front door panel of the control box and place the test bank switch (26, Fig. 1)
in TEST BANK position.
(18) Again place the load contactor switch (17) in the top, CLOSE position. Light (19) should glow
GREEN and remain ON when the switch is released and allowed to return to the center ON position.
This indicates that the test bank switch (26) is functioning to bypass the plug interlock relay.
(19) Return the test bank switch to AIRCRAFT position. The load contactor should open at once and
the green indicating light (19) should go off.
(20) Connect a source of 24-V DC power (two twelve-volt batteries connected in series) to terminals
“N” and “E-F” at the output terminal panel.Connection polarity should be: MINUS to terminal “N” and
PLUS to terminal “E-F”.
(21) With test-bank switch in AIRCRAFT position, hold the contactor operating switch (17) in top,
CLOSE position momentarily. The generator “on” indicating light (19) should glow GREEN and re-
main on when the switch is released and allowed to return to the center ON position. This indicates
that the load contactor is closed and the plug interlock relay is functioning properly.
(22) Apply 1/3 to 1/2 load at the load bank and allow the unit to run for 15 to 30 minutes. Observe op-
eration of all monitoring instruments.
(23) Increase load bank resistance to apply a full load.
(24) Check operation of the governor by observing the frequency meter (1, Fig. 1) when generator is
switched from no-load to full-load and vice versa. Use the contactor control switch (17) to apply and
remove load several times. Frequency drop should be no more than 1 Hz. Adjust governor if neces-
sary (See Para. 3, E, (3)).
(25) Follow instructions in Para. 3, B, (2) (b) to set voltage regulator line-drop compensation potenti-
ometers (Ref. Figure 1, items (28) and (30). Set knob pointer on cable size potentiometer (28) to size
(2/0, 4/0, etc.) of cable being used. Set knob pointer on cable length potentiometer (30) to length (20
feet, 40 feet, etc.) of cable being used. See instruction plate (mounted below knobs).
(26) Check voltage regulator, at intervals, from no-load to full load, and on up to 125% load. Observe
and note voltage at various loads. Voltages should vary no more than plus or minus 1% from 115 V.
(27) Check accuracy of voltmeter.
(a) Open and lower the front door panel of the control box and connect a master voltmeter of
known accuracy to terminals of the voltmeter (2).
(b) Compare unit voltmeter reading with master meter. Error must not exceed 2% of full scale.
(28) Check accuracy of AC ammeter.
(a) Connect a master ammeter of known accuracy to the AC ammeter (3) terminals.
(b) Compare unit ammeter reading with master meter under various loads. Error must not exceed
4% of full scale.
(29) Check operation of meter selector switch (4). A voltage value should be shown in each switch po-
sition, except when the switch handle is on the DOWN (OFF) position.
(30) Check operation of the line switch (5). A normal voltage of 115 V AC should be indicated when
the switch is in LINE-TO-NEUTRAL position. A voltage of approximately 200 V AC should be indi-
cated when the switch is placed in LINE-TO-LINE position.
(31) Check accuracy of frequency meter.
(a) Connect a master frequency meter of known accuracy to the frequency meter (1) terminals.
(b) Compare meter readings. Error must not exceed 1% of full scale.
(32) Operate the unit not less than 10 minutes under full load. The overload device (Ref. 1-1; 7, Fig.
11) MUST NOT trip.
(33) Operate at 125% rated load for 5 minutes immediately following the fullload run. The overload de-
vice MUST trip within 5 minutes and the overload indicating light (1-1; must come ON to indicate an
overload condition).
(34) Reduce load to normal. Turn off indicating light by pressing reset switch (6, Fig. 1).
(35) Check engine oil pressure at governed speed (2000 RPM). Gage should indicate at least 38 PSI
when the engine is hot. Check engine coolant temperature. Gage should indicate in the range of 180
degrees to 190 degrees depending upon ambient temperature.
(36) Check operation of fuse interlock (Ref. 1-1; 8, Fig. 7). With unit operating normally under load, re-
move protective relay circuit fuse (10, Fig. 1). The load contactor should open immediately. This indi-
cates that the fuse interlock relay is functioning properly. Replace fuse and apply load.
NOTE: Make all protective relay tests with the unit operating under load.
(37) Check operation of overvoltage relay and indicating light.
(a) With the unit running at normal load, adjust the voltage regulator rheostat (27, Fig. 1) to in-
crease voltage (turn clockwise) until the overvoltage sensing relay actuates the protective monitor
to open the load contactor and turn on the overvoltage indicating light. The overvoltage sensing
relay should trip when voltage reaches 130 V to 134 V.
(b) Return unit to normal operating conditions by adjusting voltage regulator rheostat and press-
ing reset switch (6).
(38) Check operation of undervoltage sensing relay, indicating light, and time delay. Before starting
this check, let us understand the sequence of events which should happen when voltage is reduced
to 103 V or lower. At some value between 103 V and 93 V, the undervoltage sensing relay (Ref. 1-1;
4, Fig. 7) should function to activate the undervoltage time delay circuit. Five seconds after the time
delay circuit is activated, (if the undervoltage condition continues) it should function to open the protec-
tive monitor relay which, in turn, will open the load contactor to stop power delivery. As a result of the
action, the undervoltage indicating light should be turned ON. A stopwatch or sweep-second-hand
watch is required for this check. Proceed as follows:
(a) With unit running at normal load, use the voltage regulator rheostat (27, Fig. 1) to reduce volt-
age to 104V. The load contactor should NOT open after a 5-second delay.
(b) Reduce voltage in steps of 1 V, with a delay of at least 5 seconds between steps. Restart stop-
watch or note position of sweep-secondhand each time voltage is reduced. At some voltage value
between 103 V and 93 V, and 4 to 12 seconds after a new voltage setting is made, the load con-
tactor should be opened and the undervoltage indicating light should be turned on by the step-by-
step action of the undervoltage sensing relay, time delay circuit, and protective monitor relay.
NOTE: The 4 to 12 second time delay is generally set at 5 seconds. It may be necessary to switch
to MANUAL control to obtain these low voltages.
(c) If the load contactor is not opened at 103 V to 93 V, refer to the Trouble Shooting Chart, Sec-
tion 3-1, to determine which component of the undervoltage protective circuit is defective.
(d) If the undervoltage circuit performs satisfactorily, return the unit to normal operation by adjust-
ing the voltage to 115 V, pressing the reset switch, and closing the load contactor.
(39) Check underfrequency sensing relay, protective monitor, and indicating light. At some frequency
value (Hz, cycles-per-second) from 385 Hz down to 375 Hz, the underfrequency sensing relay should
function to signal the underfrequency circuit in the protective monitor module to OPEN the load con-
tactor holding circuit, thus OPENING the load contactor. To check the underfrequency protective com-
ponents, proceed as follows:
(a) While the unit is operating normally under load, reduce generator output frequency by reduc-
ing engine speed. Use the governed speed setting potentiometer (Ref. Fig. 5). Turn adjusting
screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE gradually to reduce engine speed until frequency meter indicates
386 Hz. Underfrequency protective relay should not function to open the load contactor at this fre-
quency. Reduce frequency in steps of 1 Hz.
(b) If the protective system functions to open the load contactor and turn on the underfrequency
light after some frequency between 385 Hz and 375 Hz is reached, all components of the system
are functioning properly. If the load contactor is not opened within the above frequency range, re-
fer to Trouble Shooting Chart to determine which component is defective.
(c) Return unit to normal operating condition.
(40) Check overfrequency sensing relay, protective monitor, and indicating light. This protective circuit
operates in exactly the same manner as the underfrequency circuit except its operating range is from
415 Hz to 425 Hz. Its purpose also is to open the load contactor and turn on an indicating light.
(a) Check procedures are the same for overfrequency as for underfrequency (above) except that
engine speed is INCREASED to create a condition of overfrequency.
(b) If the overfrequency system functions to open the load contactor and turn on the overfre-
quency light after some frequency between 415 Hz and 425 Hz is reached, all components of the
system are functioning properly. If the load contactor is not opened within the above frequency
range, refer to Trouble Shooting Chart to determine which component is defective.
(41) If the generator is operating under load at this point, place the contactor control switch (17, Fig.
1) in OFF position to open load contactor and disconnect load. There will be no further need for the
load bank in the following checks.
(42) With the engine running at normal governed speed, check the entire unit for vibration and for any
parts which may have become loosened during the above checks. Tighten any loose attaching hard-
ware as required.
WARNING: Electric shock, moving parts, and noise can kill or injure! If a metal
sounding rod is used to detect bearing noises, exercise extreme care to avoid
injury.
(43) Check 400-Hz generator bearings. Use a stethoscope or metal sounding rod to listen for unusual
noises. If using a metal rod, place one end on the generator housing and hold the other end near the
ear. Hold the rod with three fingers and use the index finger and thumb to form a “sounding chamber”
between the rod and the ear. Do NOT allow the rod to touch the ear. Listen for “grinding” or pounding
sounds which would indicate a defective bearing. An engine noise may be “telegraphed” to the gener-
ator and misinterpreted as a generator noise. Send the unit to overhaul if in doubt of bearing service-
ability.

(1) General
The Hobart electric governor kit, used on units built before November, 1990 is identified as Hobart
Part No. 488701, and consists of Woodward governor parts with brackets and hardware added by
Hobart Brothers to install the governor system on generator sets in this series. The Woodward
governor system consists of (1) an electric controller, (2) an actuator, and (3) a magnetic-pick-
up that is installed in the flywheel housing, which senses engine speed off the flywheel teeth.
Two electric governor system main components, namely the magnetic pickup and controller, have
critical adjustments which can affect engine performance and therefore generator output. The ad-
justment of the actuator linkage can also affect engine performance.
When the complete system is to be checked and/or adjusted, a definite sequence of procedures
should be followed:
First - Check or adjust actuator linkage
Second - Check or adjust magnetic pick-up
Third - Check or adjust electric control box
The proper adjustment of the mechanical linkage between the electric actuator and engine speed
control lever is important to the satisfactory operation of the complete system.
Exact adjustment instructions regarding effective length of rod assembly (6, Fig. 3), or regarding
the proper hole in actuator lever in which to attach ball joint (4) cannot be determined because of
slight variations in brackets, mountings, and engine performance characteristics. However, defi-
nite rules must be followed in making the adjustments:
RULE 1. Adjust linkage to use FULL TRAVEL of actuator output shaft (1).
RULE 2. Linkage must move speed control lever (7) from FULL IDLE to FULL SPEED position,
or VERY CLOSE to FULL SPEED position in order for the generator to pull 125% load.
Check and adjust linkage as follows, with engine stopped.
(a) Before making adjustment, observe and note which hole in actuator lever (3) is used to
mount ball joint (4). It does not necessarily have to be the same hole as may have been pre-
viously used. Disconnect ball joint (4) from actuator lever (3).
(b) Be sure neither lever (the actuator lever (3), or the fuel control lever (7) has slipped on
shafts. If a lever has slipped, position it correctly and tighten securely.
(c) Place both levers (3 and 7) in FULL IDLE position an attempt to connect ball joint (4) at
the hole in actuator lever (3) from which it was removed in step (a). If connection cannot be
made, loosen nuts (5) and adjust effective length of rod assembly (6, Fig. 4) so that connec-
tion can be made.
(d) Manually operate actuator lever back and forth between FULL IDLE and FULL SPEED. If
adjustment is unsatisfactory, try another hole in ACTUATOR lever and readjust rod length.
(e) Tighten all parts securely when adjustment is completed.

The strength of the magnetic pickup signal to the control box can be weakened if the tip of the
pickup is too far from the flywheel ring gear. If the pickup is to be removed for any reason, or if the
signal is weak (less than 2.5-V AC) as indicated by a voltage test at the pick-up with the engine
running at rated speed, proceed as follows:
(a) Disconnect “pull-apart” connector (1, Fig. 4).
(b) Loosen nut (3) and remove magnetic pickup (2).
(c) Inspect to make certain the tip is not damaged from contact with the ring gear teeth, replace
pickup if damaged.
(d) Rotate the engine as required to locate a ring gear tooth directly below the tapped, pickup
mounting hole. An imaginary line should pass through the center of the mounting hole, the center
of a flywheel tooth and the center of the flywheel.
(e) Install the magnetic pickup into the tapped mounting hole and thread it in until the tip touches
the “in-line” flywheel gear tooth.
CAUTION: The pickup tip must be directly over a tooth and not between teeth when adjustment
is made.
(f) Back the pickup outward (counterclockwise) 1/2 turn. Hold the pickup securely in this position
and tighten nut (3). This adjustment will result in a clearance of approximately 0.028 inch between
the pickup tip and the flywheel teeth and give an operating AC voltage of 4 V to 8 V at controller
terminals 5 and 6 when the engine is running at no load and governed speed, and approximately
2.5-V at cranking speed.
NOTE: As little a 1-V is required for operation of governor control box. Magnetic pickup voltage
does not have to be 4-V to 8-V.

Before making an adjustment to the control unit (Fig. 5), make certain that linkage between actua-
tor lever (3, Fig. 3) and fuel control lever (7, Fig. 3) is properly adjusted. There must be no lost
motion or “play” in the linkage. Be sure magnetic pickup is producing a strong, normal output.
There are three adjustment controls on the unit (see Fig. 5). They are identified as:
RATED SPEED - Adjusts engine speed and generator frequency.
GAIN and STABILITY - Together, these adjust engine response time and engine stability.
To adjust control unit, proceed as follows:
(a) If the control box is being adjusted for the first time, set adjustment control as follows:
RATED SPEED control - Set the rated speed control screw fully counterclockwise (to mini-
mum speed setting).
GAIN control - Set this control screw to mid position.
STABILITY control - Set this control screw to mid position.
NOTE: A VERY shall screwdriver is required for these adjustments.
(b) Start engine and allow it to warm up.
(c) Place engine-generator control switch (23, Fig. 1) in GEN position to make electric governor
functional.
(d) Turn RATED SPEED adjusting screw clockwise to increase engine speed to 2000 RPM. At
1714 RPM, the frequency meter (9, Fig. 1) will indicate 400-Hz.
(e) Adjust GAIN control screw to the stable region between low frequency and high frequency os-
cillation.
(f) If there is a low frequency oscillation which does not stop when the gain control is adjusted,
turn the STABILITY control screw slightly clockwise and try the GAIN control adjustment again.
Continue adjusting the STABILITY control screw slightly clockwise, then re-adjusting the GAIN
control screw until the engine runs at a steady speed. If there is a high frequency oscillation
which does not stop, even when the GAIN control screw is turned fully counterclockwise, adjust
the STABILITY control screw slightly counterclockwise until the high frequency oscillation stops.
(g) The electric governor is now set to a nominally good operating point. Trim adjustments as de-
sired or required.

(1) General
The Hobart electric governor kit, used on units built after November, 1990 is identified as Hobart
Part No. 282671, and consists of Barber-Colman governor parts with brackets and hardware
added by Hobart Brothers to install the governor system on generator sets in this series. The Bar-
ber-Colman governor system consists of (1) an electric controller, (2) an actuator, and (3) a
magnetic-pick-up that is installed in the flywheel housing, which senses engine speed off the fly-
wheel teeth.
Two electric governor system main components, namely the magnetic pickup and controller, have
critical adjustments which can affect engine performance and therefore generator output. The ad-
justment of the actuator linkage can also affect engine performance.
When the complete system is to be checked and/or adjusted, a definite sequence of procedures
should be followed:
First - Check or adjust actuator linkage
Second - Check or adjust magnetic pick-up
Third - Check or adjust electric control box
The proper adjustment of the mechanical linkage between the governor actuator and engine
speed control lever is important to the satisfactory operation of the complete system. Two definite
rules must be followed in making the adjustment:
Adjust linkage must use the FULL TRAVEL of the actuator output shaft.
Linkage must move engine speed control lever from FULL IDLE to RATED SPEED posi-
tion, or VERY CLOSE to FULL SPEED position to allow the engine to pull maximum load.
With the engine stopped, refer to Figure 3 and proceed with linkage adjustments as follows:
(a) At the engine speed control lever (6), loosen the jam nut (5) that fastens the ball joint (7) to
the threaded rod, and remove the ball joint from the engine speed control lever.
(b) Rotate the ball joint - outward or inward - on the threaded rod (8), as necessary, to acheive a
distance of 6 inches (152 mm) from center to center on the swiveling portions of the two ball
joints (4 and 7).
(c) While holding the removed ball joint in its mounting hole in the engine speed control lever,
compare the TRAVEL of the ACTUATOR SHAFT (2) with the travel of the engine speed control
lever (6).
(d) At FULL IDLE position, the actuator shaft should be pulled ALL THE WAY DOWNWARD.
(e) For RATED SPEED, the actuator shaft should come out far enough to force the engine
speed control lever to use ALL OF ITS TRAVEL as it moves upward.
(f) Re-attach the ball joint to the engine speed control lever with the lockwasher and nut.
(g) Tighten the two jam nuts on the threaded rod firmly against their respective ball joints.
(h) Check governor linkage for freedom of travel. Move the rod assembly manually to see that
there isn’t any binding or lost motion in linkage. Make corrections if and as required.
(j) Make a preliminary setting of engine idle speed by adjusting the idle speed set screw, which is
located on the engine speed control lever. See that this screw is turned INWARD about 3 to 5
turns, to force the engine speed control lever downward slightly from the full upward position.
(k) Start the engine, and set the idle speed to 850 RPM + / - 25 RPM. Operate engine at idle
speed until it is warmed to operating temperature. Then re-adjust idle speed set screw, if neces-
sary, to obtain the original 850 RPM + / - 25 RPM.

Figure 8 shows how the magnetic pick-up is mounted. Typically, this area of the generator set
can be seen by opening the door on the front left side of the generator set and viewing the side of
the flywheel housing. The strength of the magnetic pick-up signal to the controller can be weak-
ened if the tip of the pick-up is too far from the flywheel ring gear or if it becomes damaged.. If
the pick-up is removed for any reason, or if the signal is weak, adjust the magnetic pick-up as fol-
lows:
(a) Loosen the jam nut on the pick-up, by turning it toward the wire end of the pick-up.
(b) Remove the magnetic pick-up and inspect for damage, replace if necessary. Clean the tip
and reinstall.
CAUTION: The pickup tip must be directly over a tooth and not between teeth when adjustment
is made.w
(c) Continue turning pick-up CLOCKWISE until it bottoms out (it has hit the ring gear teeth).
(d) Back the magnetic pick-up out 1/4 to 3/4 of a turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE. This creates a
gap between the magnetic pick-up and the ring gear.
(e) Disconnect magnetic pick-up wires at the terminal strip (Figures 4 & 5)
(f) Start the engine and run at idle speed..
(g) Connect the pick-up wires to a voltmeter. The signal should read between 4 and 8 VAC.
(h) If the signal is weaker than 4-V AC, check connections. If necessary, check magnetic pick-
up continuity or idle speed setting on the fuel pump.
(j) Tighten the jam nut when the pick-up is properly adjusted.
(k) Reconnect the wires to the terminal strip.

2. Adjustment nut
The governor controller is located on the large panel to the left of the generator control box, as
viewed from the left side of the generator set. Before making an adjustment to the controller,
make sure the linkage between the actuator and the engine speed control is free and properly ad-
justed. There must be no lost motion or “play” in the linkage. Be sure the magnetic pick-up is pro-
ducing a strong, normal output.
The controller has two control potentiometers: the SPEED control potentiometer and the GAIN
potentiometer. Make the controller settings as follows:
NOTE: A very small screwdriver is required for this adjustment.
(a) With the engine warmed to operating temperature, use operating mode switch to bring the gen-
erator set from idle to rated speed.
(b) Adjust the SPEED potentiometer on the controller until the engine is operating at rated speed
(2000 RPM). To INCREASE engine speed when making this setting, turn the potentiometer
CLOCKWISE. To DECREASE engine speed when making this setting, turn the potentiometer
COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
(c) If the governor oscillates, causing the governor-actuator linkage rod to move in an unstable
manner, adjust the GAIN control on the governor controller until the oscillation and subsequent
instability is just barely eliminated. Then re-adjust the SPEED if necessary.
(d) Upset the engine speed control lever by hand. If the lever oscillates in 3 to 5 diminishing oscil-
lations and stops, the setting is correct.
(e) Apply a load to the generator set, then remove the load and observe the length of time re-
quired for the engine speed to again stabilize. Engine speed should stabilize within 3 to 5 oscilla-
tions.
(f) If engine speed does not stabilize at the above setting, continue making slight adjustments to
the GAIN control, and checking stability and engine speed between no-load and full-load, until the
engine speed stabilizes.
Perform this check ONLY if the engine doesn’t come up to rated speed from idle speed, or
doesn’t maintain rated speed under load. If either of these conditions exist, check and adjust link-
age as follows, with engine stopped.
Disconnect the ball joint from the actuator shaft clevis .
Be sure the engine speed control lever is not slipping on its shaft. If it is slipping, position it cor-
rectly and tighten it securely.
Place the engine speed control lever in FULL IDLE position and attempt to connect the ball joint
at the hole in the lever from which it was removed (Step 1). If the holes don’t align correctly,
loosen the ball joint nut and adjust the effective length of the rod assembly - shorter or longer -
and re-connect it to the actuator clevis.
Tighten the ball joint nuts securely and operate the generator set to check governor’s control of
idle speed, rated at no-load speed, and full-load speed.
Repeat this procedure until generator set operates at proper speeds, with and without load.
The actuator does not require any adjustments. An actuator malfunction, when it occurs, will re-
sult in the actuator being totally inoperative, either due to the actuator coil being open or shorted
to the actuator case. Resistance measurements will reveal either of these conditions.
(7) Troubleshooting
When installing the governor, carefully follow the instructions for installation and adjustment. To
further aid in checking installation and servicing of the governor after it has been in use, check the
following troubleshooting hints.
Engine speed lugs down when load is applied

between diodes of the same part number, rating, and manufacturer. General instructions for testing di-
odes follows:
CHAPTER 3. TROUBLESHOOTING
SECTION 1. TROUBLE SHOOTING PROCEDURES
1. General
A. Troubleshooting is an orderly process of checking and eliminating possible causes of trouble until the
exact cause of a trouble is found. As a rule, the best place to start looking for the cause of a trouble in a
circuit is at the source of power. Continue testing and checking the circuit, step-by-step, in an orderly man-
ner, until the cause of trouble is located.
B. This section provides information useful in diagnosing and correcting certain troubles which cause un-
satisfactory operation or failure of the equipment.
C. Minor troubles may be remedied by the operator; however, major repairs must be undertaken by experi-
enced mechanics and electricians only.
4. Safety - WARNING:
WARNING: Exercise extreme care to avoid contact with high voltage leads and
components which could cause serious shock and injury if touched when
trouble shooting or operating the equipment.
5. Parts Replacement
To lessen end item “down” time and to get a faulty machine back “on-theline” as quickly as possible, the
“black-box” concept of parts replacement is reflected in the trouble shooting chart. For example, if a com-
ponent in a particular assembly or module is defective, the quickest way to remedy the situation is to re-
place the complete assembly or the module and send the old assembly or module to stock. Assemblies
which lend themselves to this concept are:
The above items are in addition to normally replaced items such as fuel pump, injectors, relays, etc.
6. Test Values
Although test values are provided throughout the trouble shooting chart, where applicable, additional infor-
mation and values are given as follows.
27. Automatic voltage control potentiometer (R5) 30. Cable length compensation rheostat
28. Cable size compensation rheostat 31. Voltage regulator fuse (5A)
The ability of the engine to start and operate properly depends primarily on two things:
-The presence of an adequate supply of air, compressed to a sufficiently high compression pressure.
-The injection of the proper amount of fuel at the right time.
Lack of power, uneven running, excessive vibration, stalling, and hard starting may be caused by low com-
pression, faulty injection in one or more cylinders, or lack of sufficient air. Refer to Perkins Handbook for
trouble shooting and repair procedures.

Illustrations in Figure 1 are referred to throughout the Trouble Shooting Chart, Figure 2.
PROTECTIVE CIRCUIT
NOTE: The protective relays and protective monitor are not completely functional until the load
contactor is CLOSED. Since it is not advisable to vary voltages for test purposes while delivering
power to an aircraft, the generator should be connected to a load bank for trouble shooting the
protective circuits. To avoid repetition, it will be assumed that the reset switch [(6), Fig. 1] has been
pushed and theload contactor has been closed before commencing each test.

1. General
The Illustrated Parts List identifies, describes, and illustrates main assemblies, subassemblies, and detail
parts of the engine-driven generator sets manufactured by Hobart Brothers Company, Power Systems
Group, Troy, Ohio, 45373. These sets are identified as Hobart Specification No. 7009-1, Specification No.
7009A-1, and Specification No. 7009B-1.
2. Purpose
The purpose of this list is to provide parts identification and descriptive information to maintenance and
provisioning personnel for use in provisioning, requisitioning, purchasing, storing, and issuing of spare
parts.
3. Arrangement
Chapter 4 is arranged as follows:
Section 1 - Introduction
The parts list contains a breakdown of the equipment into assemblies, subassemblies, and detail parts.
All parts of the equipment are listed except:
(1) Standard hardware items (attaching parts) such as nuts, screws, washers, etc., which are avail-
able commercially.
(2) Bulk items such as wire, cable, sleeving, tubing, etc., which are also commercially available.
(3) Permanently attached parts which lose their identity by being welded, soldered, riveted, etc., to
other parts, weldments, or assemblies.
This column lists the figure number of the illustration applicable to a particular parts list and also
identifies each part in the list by an item number. These item numbers also appear on the illustra-
tion. Each item number on an illustration is connected to the part to which it pertains by a leader
line. Thus the figure and item numbering system ties the parts lists to the illustrations and vice
versa. The figure and index numbers are also used in the numerical index to assist the user in
finding the illustration of a part when the part number is known.
ALL part numbers appearing in this column are Hobart numbers. In all instances where the part is
a purchased item, the vendor’s identifying five-digit code and his part number will appear in the
NOMENCLATURE column. Vendor parts which are modified by Hobart will be identified as such
in the NOMENCLATURE column. In case Hobart does not have an identifying part number for a
purchased part, the HOBART PART NUMBER column will reflect No Number and the vendor’s
number will be shown in the NOMENCLATURE column. Parts manufactured by Hobart reflect no
vendor code or part number in the NOMENCLATURE column.
The item identifying name appears in this column. The indenture method is used to indicate item
relationship. Thus, components of an assembly are listed directly below the assembly and in-
dented one space. Vendor codes and part numbers for purchased parts are shown in this column.
When there is an entry in this column, it shows the quantity of that item recommended for spares
to support ONE end item.
This column is used to indicate the applicability of parts to different models of equipment. When
more than one model of equipment is covered by a parts list, there are some parts which are
used on only one model. This column is used for insertion of a code letter “A”, “B”, etc., to indicate
these parts and to identify the particular model they are used on. Since this manual covers only
one model, this column is not used in this manual.
UNCODED PARTS ARE USABLE ON ALL MODELS:
Parts coded “A” are usable on Specification 7009-1 only
Parts coded “B” are usable on Specification 7009A-1 only
Parts coded “C” are usable on Specification 7009B-1 only
This column indicates the quantity of parts required for an assembly or subassembly in which the
part appears. This column does not necessarily reflect the total used in the complete end item.

HOBART DIAGRAMS:
1. Exposure to:
A. Combustible, explosive, abrasive or conducting dusts.
B. Environments where the accumulation of lint or excessive dirt will interfere with normal ventilation.
C. Chemical fumes, flammable or explosive gases.
D. Nuclear radiation.
E. Steam, salt-laden air, or oil vapor.
F. Damp or very dry locations, radiant heat, vermin infestation, or atmospheres conducive to fungus
growth.
G. Abnormal shock, vibration or mechanical loading from external sources during equipment opera-
tion.
H. Abnormal axial or side thrust imposed on rotating equipment shafts.
I. Low and/or high ambient temperatures.
2. Operation at:
A. Voltages above or below rated voltage.
B. Speeds other than rated speed.
C. Frequency other than rated frequency.
D. Standstill with rotating equipment windings energized.
E. Unbalanced voltages.
F. Operation at loads greater than rated.
4. Operation with:
A. Improper fuel, lubricants or coolant.
B. Parts or elements unauthorized by the manufacturer.
C. Unauthorized modifications.
All diesel engines operated for extended periods under light load may develop a
condition commonly referred to as wet-stacking. This condition results from the
accumulation of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. It is recognizable by fuel
oil wetness around the exhaust manifold, pipes, and muffler. Liquid fuel, in the
form of droplets, may be spewed from the exhaust outlet.
