Removal of Generator / Engine Unit

A. In order to prepare for the removal of the generator and engine as a unit, the fuel tank will first

need to be drained. Then, the front panel (45) and control box (46) must be removed before

tank (18) itself can be removed. (Refer to the procedures in Draining of the Fuel Tank and

Replacement of the Fuel Tank.)

1. The generator leads are contained within tube (7) and are sealed by a rubber bushing (5).

The wiring is then routed through tube (75). A groove at the control box end of the tube (75)

holds the tube in place in the control box wall.

2. The engine and generator connectors (16 and 17) are housed within control box (45). To

access and separate the connectors, collapse tube (75) enough to disengage the groove from

the hole in the control box back wall.

3. Remove two screws (39) and remove control box (45).

4. Remove flanged nuts (37) from the vibration anti-vibration mounts (35). The generator/engine

unit may now be lifted off bolts (37).

5. Remove air cleaner support (H-4). (See discussion below for description of the physical

differences between the support used on Model TPG3-3000HDX and the support used on all

other models).

(1) The support used on Model TPG3-3000HDX is basically a flat strap with a bend at the air

cleaner attachment point. This support is secured at one end by screw (H-5) and by

flanged nut (36) at the other end.

(2) The support used on all other models is an S-shaped strap with bends at the air cleaner

attachment point and at the opposite end. This support is secured at one end by a

screw (H-5) and by flanged nut (36) at the other end.

6. Lift the generator/engine unit from the frame (44) using an overhead-lifting device.

CAUTION: BE SURE TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGE. PUT CUSHIONING

MATERIAL BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE WORKBENCH. USE WOODEN

BLOCKS TO SUPPORT THE GENERATOR / ENGINE UNIT DURING REMOVAL AND

INSTALLATION OF GENERATOR COMPONENTS.

B. Set generator/engine unit on the workbench. Position the unit with the generator end facing

up; use support blocks to steady the assembly.
