JOB PLAN INSTRUCTION

It is not uncommon to exchange the generator with a “spare” set instead of completing this

is to be completed onboard it is to be performed by a GDI approved vendor.
2 Dismantle generator including rotor removal.
Clean generator windings using clean, dry and oil free compressed air with electrical solvent or
3
de-greaser and high pressure hot water wash dependent on severity of contamination.
4 Dry windings to acceptable resistance levels.

size.
