Performance and Capacities

Caterpillar C-15 engine at 373 Kw/500 hp

Kato 365 Kw 220 Volt 50 Hz generator

Impulse circuit board breaker box

Quincy electric air compressor

7.5 Kw , 8.3 bar Webasto coolant heater

Generator house has 4 lift eyes and 4 securing

eyes

Complete generator house 5.5 meter X 2.4 meterat 10 tons


7/15

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.

Electrical Safety Electrical plugs and

receptacles aresealed for gas orliquids & lock together

locks must beengaged

Electrical splices mustbe performed by anelectrician use ofelectrical tape asinsulation is notpermitted

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.


11/15

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).


12/15

Monthly Maintenance

Inspect engine and radiator for leaks.

Inspect fan and alternator belts for wear or

deterioration.

Change engine oil and filters every 500 hours of

operation.

Replace the primary fuel filter/water separator

element every 500 hours of operation.

Replace the secondary fuel filter every 500 hoursof operation.

Clean crankcase breather

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.


14/15

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.


15/15

Review of Key Points

The generator should positioned at least 15meters from the well.

Never connect, disconnect, or perform work on a

live electrical circuit.

All electric power cords have locking connections

secure the connections.

Do not weld on the generator or generator house

without following the proper procedure todisconnect electronics and ground the welder

properly.
