97. Installation
a. Mounting Generator. Install a driving pin on the
end of the axle as shown in figure 31. Bolt the special
journal box cover into position. Turn the generator rotor
so that the driving arm engages with the pin on the axle.
Carefully position the generator against the journal box
cover checking that there is clearance between the pin
and generator. Bolt the generator, with the drain hole
down, to the journal box cover using standard 3/8-16
bolts. Check that the generator shaft is concentric with
the wheel axle. Gaskets are provided to make an oil-
tight connection. Place a piece of 3/4-inch hose,
clamped at both ends, over the generator cable for
protection.
b. Transformer-Resistor Box.
Mount the
transformer-resistor box in any convenient location
which is protected from dirt and moisture. Particular
attention must be paid to the temperature of tile site. It
is recommended that the site have a temperature range
of 75 10 F. The temperature should never rise
above 120 F. Temperatures up to 120 F. will not
damage the box but will introduce temporary errors in
proportion to the rise. Figure 32 shows the mounting
