Keep The Unit And Surounding Area Clean

Fuel lines must be of steel piping, adequately secLrred and free of leaks. Use aflexible section ot fueltine between generator set and stationaryfu6l line in the vehicle. This flexible section must be 1000,6 NON-METALLIC to prevent electrical currents lrom using it as a conductor. Have a fire extinguisher nearby. Be sure extinguisher is properly maintained and be familiar with its proper use. Extinguishers rated ABC by the NFPA are appropdate for all applicalions. Consult the local fire department lor the correct type of extinguisher for various applications.

Bemove all oil deposits. Remove all unnecessary grease and oil from the unit. Accumulated 9rcase and oil can cause overheating and subsequent engine damage and may prcsent a potential fire hazard.

Do NOT storc anything in the generator compartment such as oil or gas cans, oily rags, chains, wooden blocks, propane tanks, etc. A fire could result or the gen€rator set operation (cooling, noise and vibmtion) may be adversely affected- Keep the compartment lloor cl€an and dry. .

Guard Ag.lntt Elect.lc Shock
Remove electric power before removing protective shields or touching electrical equipment. Use

rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood platlorms overfloors that are metalorconcrete wh€n around electrical equipment. Do not wear damp clothing (particularly wet shoes) or allow skin surlaces to be damp when handling electrical equipment.

Protect AgaiBt Moving Patt3 Avoid moving parts ot the !nit. Loose jackets, shirts or sleeves should not be permitted because ol lhe danger of becoming caught rn moving parts. Make sure all nuts and bolts are secure. Keep power shields and guards in position.

ll

adjustments musl be made while running, use exlreme caulion a manifolds, moving parts, etc.
Do not work on lhis equipment when mentally or physically latigued.

Jewelry is a good conductor of electricity and should be rcmoved when working on electrical equipment. TO THE OWNER

rcmoving cables for any reason. Coat the battery terminals with a mineral grease or petroleum ielly to reduce corrosion and oxjdation. ldentify each battery cable to be posjtive or negative before makrng any connection. Always connect the ground (negative) cable lasl. Nlaintain the electrolyte level by adding water (drinking quality or bette.) as needed for f illing to split level marker. (The water ingredient of the electrolyte evaporates, but the sulphuric acid ingredient remains- Thercfore, add water, not electrolyte. Avoid overcharging when recharging. Stop the boost charge when the specific aravity is 1.260 and the electrolyte is 80'F (26.7'C).

ONAN FUEL PUMP

AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP
Service of the fuel pump is limited to cleaning the filter. Every 100 hours, drain the fuel pump and check the filter element. Turn the hex nut on the base of the pump to gain access to the filter element- lf ihe element appears dirty, rcplace it. Be sure to replace gaskets when reassembling (Figure 6). Check and clean element at least every 100 hours. Loosen wing nut to remove. Clean by tapping base lightly on a flat surface. Replace elementat least every 200 operating hours; clean or replace more often in dusty conditions. See Figure 7.

COOLING SYSTEM

The generator set is cooled by a flywheel blower tan which pulls air over the cylinders and cooling fins. The air path is directed by sheet metal shrouds and plates. These shrouds and plates must always be installed properly so unit does not overheatCheck and clean (rf necessary) the cooling lins at least every 200 hours ol operation. Remove any dust, dirt or oil which may have accumulated. _Check compartment air inlet and generator set air ou et for buildup of dirt, chaff, etc.

OUT-OF.SERVICE PROTECTION

Prolect a generator set that will be oul of service lor more than 30 days trom damage caused by rust or corrosion. Use the following procedure to properly protect the set. 1. Run the generatorsetwith at leasta 50% load until thoroughly warm (usually about'1 hour). 2. Turn off fuel supply and allow the engine to run out of fuel. Also operate the choke manually as

negative. 5. Bemove spark plugs, clean and gap. Turn the engine overby hand several times. Reinstall spark plugs. 6. Turn on luel, disconnect electric fuel pump lead and electric fuel solenoid shuFofl lead if unit is so eqoipped. Jumpea the fuel pump and eleclric fuel solenoid shut-off leads to the battery to primethe unit. Reconnect the leads. 7. Remove all load and start the generalor set at the unit. lnitial stan may be slow due to oil or rust inhibitor in the cylinders. Excessive smoke and rough operation will occur until the oil or rust inhibitor is burned olf. Apply a 500/0 load after the set runs smooth. Allow the generalor set to warm up (1 hour) with the load connected. Check speed and voltage. L Unit is now ready tor service.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

The qeneralor normailv needs little careotherlhan a perio.-oic check ot th; brushes, commutator and ;ollector rings. lf a major repair job on the generator should become necessary, have the equipment checked by a competent eieclrician who isthoroughly familiar with the operation of electric generator equipment.

Brush Replacement lnstall new brushes when the old ones are worn to the dimensions shown in Figure 10. Remove the end bell band to expose the brush holders. Remove the three screws holding each brush holder in place (Figure 10). Remove the old brushes and clean the holders so the new brushes can move easily in their holders. lnstall the new brushes in the same manner as theold ones. Always use the correct brush as listed in the PARTS CATALOG. Never substitute a brush which may appear to be the same for it may have different characteristics. New brushes are shaped lo fit and seldom need sanding to seat properly. It some brush sparking occurs after replacing brushes, run th'e set under a light load until the brushes wear to a good seat, newly machined appearing surface. Ordinary cleaning with a dry, lint lree cloth is usually sufficient. Very fine sandpaper (#200) may be used to remove stight roughness.

Collector rings acquire a glossy brown finish in normal operation. Do not attempt to maintain a bright

ADJUSTMENTS
Salislactory gonerator s€t performance depends on correct adjustments. lf trouble develops, tollow an orderly procedure to determine the cause betore making changes in adjustments. Refer to ENG/NE TROUBLESHOOTING and PERIODIC SERVICE GUIDES for additional h6lp.

CARBURETOR The NH "RV" gen€rator set carburotor has two mixture adiustmenls, an idle mixture which aftects operation mainly at no load and a main (power)

adiustment which affects operation at maximum load (Figure 11). lf your generutor set has a "hunting" (sudden surges and drops in speed) condition at no load or lull load and cannot be corrected by carburetor adjustm€nts, check governor, linkage and adfustment (see Govehot Adiustmerts). A hunting condition at no load can usually be corrected by an idle mixture adjustment.

(11 governor is completelyout 'oad of adiustment, make a preliminary adjustment at no load to first attain a sale voltage operating range). Engine speed determines the output voltage and cuffent trequency olthe generator. By increasingthe engrne speed, generator voltage and frequency are increased, and by decreasing the engine speod, generator voltage and frequency are decreased. An accurate voltmeter or frequency meter (preferably both) should be connected to the generator output in order to correctly adjust the governor. A small speed drop not noticeable without instruments will result in an obiectionable voltage drop. The engine speod can be checked with a tachometer.

...ADVANTAGE OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION Technical education is the crying need of India. India has had an over-dose of liberal education. Our education is incomplete and without any purpose if we do not receive some sort of technical education besides our liberal education. A just balance between liberal education and technical education needs to be maintained. Our British masters did not encourage technical education in 0ur country. The result was terrible unemployment. We depended up0n the industrial goods of other countries. Technical education enables student to pick up a skill with which he may make his living, even if he remains unemployed after taking up his graduation. We need an army of highly technical hands for our multi-purpose river-projects, steel factories, fertilizer industry, locomotive and air-craft manufacture. Even agriculture is being rapidly mechanized by means of tractors and bulldozers. We need more and more technicians to manufacture tractors in India. We need scientists and technologists with practical knowledge of banking, insurance and business organization which includes salesmanship and advertisement in all their numerous aspects. Technical knowledge is as vast as the sea. India is predominantly an agricultural country. Our peasants are idle for six months during the year. If they are trained in cottage industries, they can add to their income. Without developing our cottage industries, we cannot solve the grim problem of unemployment...

Manual Transmission vs Automatic Transmision

...Manual Transmission vs Automatic Transmision Ever since the automotive revolution began, there has been a battle between manual and automatic transmissions. Why are stick shift cars so popular anyway? They are more difficult to drive, and one must be skilled to drive them. Why not choose an automatic easy ride, which can turn driving in to comfort, especially while driving in heavy traffic? The truth is, driving a stick shift offers benefits that automatic does not. People who drive stick shift cars know the difference and the advantages of having total control of one’s car engine; people who drive cars with automatic transmissions do not. Cars with automatic transmissions are a great way to drive around because they do not require much driving skill. People who do not like to drive usually will choose an automatic transmission which is one of the main problems. People who drive cars with automatic transmissions often do not pay as much attention as they should. With an automatic car it makes it easier for one to text, eat, do make up, or even read while driving which can lead to an accident or even death. Cars with automatic transmissions have improved through modern chips that have developed better shifting and response when the driver just presses on the gas. Even with the modern advances, automatic transmission cars encounter problems with the transmission more often than stick shift cars. Although automatic transmissions are easier to drive, they are not as fun because...

Then in a multipage write-up, answer why was there change, what changed, and what will be the challenges and issues (business and technical) of the future generation. On September 12, 1966, General Motors first displayed a preview of their next generation car, the Camaro. There were two main reasons why General Motors came out with this car. First, General Motors was trying to create a new type of car to satisfy consumer’s desire for a strong and faster type of car. Second, it was General Motor’s way to compete with Ford’s new Mustang. When the Camaro first came out, it was classified as a compact car. However, they later changed the classification to a pony car, and it has been seen more as a touring car, sports car, or muscle car. Along with the changes in names, there have also been many changes in style, technology, features, and specifications. General Motors is now in production of their 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro. On January 6th, 2006, General Motors started brainstorming ideas and concepts for this new generation car with a new body, wheelbase, engine, transmission, suspension, and much more. After two years of designing, engineering, manufacturing, and problems, on July 21, 2008, General Motors officially unveiled the production of the 2010 5th generation Camaro.

...Process Analysis Have you ever wanted to learn at least the basics of how to drive a manual transmission? If so, it a process that takes time but once you have it down, it’s a skill that you will never lose. Almost like a second nature. Learning how to drive a manual transmission opens an entirely new world of driving. Your mpg increases, you have better reliability, and you also have enhanced control over the vehicle. When learning how to drive a manual transmission there are thirteen main basic steps that you need to learn.       First you need to get on level ground. When learning how, it is best if you can roll down the windows, this will help you better hear the engine sound so that you can know how when to adjust the gears also, don't forget to wear your seat belt. Secondly, you will need to learn to identify the pedals. In a manual car, there are three pedals. The pedal to the far right is the gas, also known as the accelerator, the middle pedal is the brake and to the far left is the clutch. The third step, one of the most important steps, is to learn what the clutch does. The clutch disengages the engine from the driveshaft allowing you to shift the gears on your transmission.  Before you switch gears, the clutch must be depressed. Fourth step is to find the clutch pedal - the one to the far left - when you have identified the clutch begin to press it down and hold it to the floor. Also, it is a good idea to get used to steadily and slowly releasing the clutch...

Acura Integra Review

...1998 Acura Integra GS-R: A Review Jesse Ezell The 1998 Acura Integra GS-R or Grand Sport Racing is a premium trim level for the 3rd generation of Acura Integra, a luxury sports car. It came in the United States in either 2-door hatchback or 4-door sedan configurations, was only offered in a 5-speed manual transmission. This car was made between 1994 and 2001 in the Honda Japan assembly plant in Suzuka, Japan by Acura/Honda. It is equipped with a B18C1 DOHC VTEC engine producing 170hp and 128ft-lbs of torque. This car carries the same basic features of the GS model aside from a small number of interior changes and sold for $20,980 new. The Integra GS-R comes with a surprisingly peppy motor a 1.8 liter 170hp VTEC or the B18C1. This motor mixed with the cars surprisingly light weight a around 2600lbs makes this car accelerate quite quickly for a stock inline 4. Along with the peppy engine the car comes standard with premium alloy wheels, upgraded cosmetics from the lower trim levels like white turn signals and a more aggressive body trim. The transmission and steering are both tight but forgiving making this car a joy to drive. These facts mixed with the outstanding handling this car gets in corners and at higher speeds makes this car what I can only describe and a genuine pleasure to drive. Alongside of all the positive things I like about this car there are other things that are not as good about it. The car runs Premium fuel only and at a 26 mpg combined your...

Energy Savings

...Observations: As per the preliminary investigation performed in CAPOL production units of CSPP, SE plant, Refinery and the boiler division. There are number of areas identified for the possible energy savings in the plant. It is further required to either perform field trials and case dependent data acquisition is needed to assess the feasibility of changing the particular component in the production line. 1. The plant at present using very large number of electrical motors ranging upto more than 100 HP for the power transmission requirements. Observations are that the motors are being rewinded number of times with in-house-technicians, it is more likely that the motor efficiency and performance characteristics may got detoriated. The gear boxes in use with the motors are also in service from number of years and they were serviced number of times during the plant operation. Replacement of the gear box with a new gear box is likely to provide energy conservation as well replacing the electric motor and the combination of the motor and the gear box also provide better energy savings to the plant operation. Remark: Field trails are needed to estimate the payback periods and possibility of scheduling the replacement. 2. There is need for the keeping insulation on all the steam lines – it is observed missing lagging in several locations, also required is complete replacement of steam lines in some of the locations of the steam passage.

Automatic Vs Manual Transmission

...Every person at least once in their lifetime must make the decision to choose between a challenging manual transmission or the convenience of an automatic transmission and it’s often quite the gamble. However, driving a manual car is ideal over an automatic because of the many beneficial long term and short-term effects it has on a person and their life. According to recent studies, “Most manual transmissions can deliver better fuel economy and acceleration” (“Manual vs. Automatic Transmission: Save Money”). Better fuel efficiency and drive performance all come with owning a manual car as well as maintenance cost, driving awareness, control, and many other things that one would look for when purchasing a car. While an automatic transmission does have its advantages, buying a car with a manual transmission gives not only a lifelong skill but also extra money in the bank and more gas in the tank.

The Human Journey

...Product Assessment 2 While there is nothing physically wrong with the manual box (you have to explain what this is), rowing one’s own gears is based on a technology that peaked in the mid-1990s (think Acura NSX, Mazda MX-5 Miata or Honda S2000, ) and it really isn’t going to get any better. The automated dual clutch, on the other hand, continues to improve with each generation and subsequent software update. Simply put, BMW’s F10 M5 was designed with the 7DCT in mind. The automated gearbox is capable of ripping up and down through the gears endlessly before taking the Autobahn home at a sustained 190 mph. In sharp contrast, and whether North American enthusiasts want to admit it or not, the M5′s 6MT is a Frankensteinian adaptation to the platform incapable of handling the same stress as its dual-clutch sibling – that’s a fact. Much like fly-by-wire aircraft controls replaced manual rod-and-cable linkages, once aircraft reached a certain level of size and complexity, many high-performance cars seem to be attaining a point of convergence where engine power and vehicle weight make a manually-operated gearshift impractical, bordering on unusable. Think about it: As horsepower and torque figures continue to skyrocket, greater clamping and shifting forces are necessary to channel that power in order to motivate ever-more-heavy cars, and there’s only so much engineers...
