2.3 Maintenance Hazards
Maintenance
Before servicing, park machine on a rm and
level surface, set parking brake, chock wheels,
and place a “Do Not Operate” tag on control

drill holes, or make any other modications.
Always use Baumalight replacement parts.
^WARNING
Moving parts can crush and cut.
Keep clear of moving components.
Follow lockout procedure before
servicing.
^WARNING
Crushing hazard.
Before performing inspections, service
or maintenance:
• Park machine on rm, level surface.

^WARNING
Depending on model, approximate
weight of the generator is 269 - 674 kg
(592 - 1485 lbs)
Do not position feet around or under
pallet.
1. Remove crate material from pallet.
2. Remove all shipping bands, wires and loose
parts from around generator.
4 Assembly
4.1 Remove Shipping
Dunnage And Parts
4.2 Remove Generator
From Pallet
1. Attach hitch to generator frame.
2. Roll generator off of pallet onto oor.
3. Install PTO driveline.
4.3 Driveline Dimension
A PTO driveline is supplied with the machine.
To accompany the variety of hitch geometry
available today, the driveline can be too long for
most machines or too short for others. It is very
important that the driveline be free to telescope
but not to bottom out when going through its
working range. If the driveline bottoms out, the
bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO
shaft will be overloaded and fail in a short time.
1. To determine the proper length of the
driveline, follow this procedure:
a. Clear the area of all bystanders.
b. Attach generator to tractor (see section
5.3) but do not attach driveline.
c. Measure dimension between locking
grooves on tractor PTO shaft and
machine input shaft.
d. Measure the same dimensions on the
compressed driveline.
e. If compressed driveline dimension
exceeds the machine dimension,
driveline will have to be cut.
2. When cutting the driveline, follow this
procedure:
a. Subtract machine dimension (A) from
uncut driveline dimension (B) or (B-A).
This dimension determines how much
too long the driveline is.
b. Add another 1 inch (25 mm) to the
dimension to be sure it doesn’t bottom out,
to determine (C) the cut off dimension.
c. Use a hacksaw to cut dimension (C) from
both ends. Cut both plastic tubes and
metal cores.
d. Use a le to remove burrs from edges
that were cut.
e. Assemble the 2 ends of the shaft.
