Procedures
1. Prepare for procedure as follows.
WARNING: Fuel hazard! Shut off fuel supply. Failure to observe this warning can
result in personal injury, death, and/or equipment damage.
WARNING: Hot surface! Do not touch ANY parts near engine until TET reads 125°
Fahrenheit. Recommended time required to cool engine is at least 8 hours. Failure
to observe this warning can result in personal injury, death, and/or equipment
damage.
NOTE: Call site and have affected engine shut down a minimum of 8 hours prior to
scheduled visit.
a. For C200 microturbine(s):
(1) Issue Stop command for affected microturbine.
(2) Shut off fuel inlet supply.
(3) Ensure that microturbine chassis remains properly grounded throughout
procedure.
(4) If microturbine is connected to grid, disconnect and lock out from utility in
accordance with local electrical regulations.
(5) If battery packs are installed, turn OFF and lock out main battery pack
circuit breakers, and disconnect battery cables.
(6) Fully isolate microturbine from any other power sources (for example, solid
state relays on user communications board).
(7) Wait at least 10 minutes to fully discharge power from the system.
(8) Use DMM to verify that there is no voltage on DC bus and no voltage on
high voltage AC terminal block.
b. For C1000 Series:
(1) Issue Stop command for affected bay(s).
(2) Open C1000 Series Enclosure electrical panel door to access circuit
breakers.
(3) Turn OFF and lock out main circuit breaker for affected bay(s).
(4) Turn OFF and lock out auxiliary circuit breaker for affected bay(s).
(5) Open engine-side door on affected bay(s) and prop open.
(6) Shut off fuel inlet supply to bay at ball valve located inside bay door.
(7) Ensure that C1000 enclosure remains properly grounded throughout
procedure.
(8) If battery packs are installed in affected bay, lock main battery pack circuit
breakers in OFF position and disconnect battery cables.
(9) Fully isolate microturbine from any other power sources (for example, solid
state relays on user communications board).

(10) Wait at least 10 minutes to fully discharge power from the system.
(11) Use DMM to verify that there is no voltage on DC bus and no voltage on
LCM AC output.
2. Access engine as follows.
a. Remove enclosure panel(s) as needed or open engine bay door to access engine
compartment.
b. If servicing model C200, remove cross bar to access engine compartment.
3. Remove fuel tube and injector as follows.
WARNING: Potential irritant! Wear protective equipment to prevent contact with
thermal blanket and LPS and anti-seize compounds. Failure to observe this
warning can result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Injectors should be replaced ONE INJECTOR AT A TIME. Failure to
observe this caution can result in equipment damage.
NOTE: If fuel tubes are not labeled, label or color code them before disconnecting.
a. Label fuel tube and fitting for reinstallation, as needed. See Figure 2 and Figure 3.
b. Disconnect TET thermocouple cables.
c. Disconnect thermocouple cable from fuel tube if necessary.

d. Draw line across each fuel tube nut and manifold fitting, as needed. See Figure 4.
(The line on each fuel line nut and fitting is needed for proper re-installation.)
NOTE: To maintain firm grip when loosening hardware, hold connecting fitting in
place with back-up wrench.
e. Remove fuel line by loosening and removing fuel tube nut at injector and manifold
fitting.
CAUTION: If sealing surface of flare has burrs, cracks, or deep scratches, replace
tube. Failure to observe this caution can result in equipment damage.
f. Inspect fuel tube flare. Replace if necessary. See Figure 5.
g. If no replacement is necessary, clean fuel tube flare.
