measure 1.164 inches free length and have a 0.750-inch working length with a load of 1 pound, plus orminus 0. 1 pound, applied. If spring fails to meetthese requirements, replace spring.b. Fuel Regulator Valve. Remove cover plate anddisconnect fuel tube assembly at orifice assembly.17-11. Testing.a. RegulatorValve.Connect a fuel supply (3 to15 psi) and 24 Vdc to regulator. Regulator valveshould operate and produce a steady stream of 21 to 23cubic centimeters of fuel per minute (at 70° F). Iffuel rate is not within these tolerances, adjust regula-tor valve by turning the adjusting screw clockwise toincrease flow rate or counterclockwise to decreaseflow rate. This test can be made using a graduatedcontainer and stop watch.b. Igniter.With igniter removed from heater,ground igniter and supply 24 Vdc power to igniter term-inal. Igniter should draw approximately 10.5 amperesand heat to a bright red color in a few seconds.c. FlameSwitch.(1) Test flame switch using an ohmmeter to checkcontinuity of microswitch.Depress microswitch button.This will be the ignition or start position of switch.(2) Continuity should be made between two NO(normally open) terminals and also between each ofNO terminals and common terminals. There shoulde an open circuit between two NC (normally closed)erminals and also between common terminals and twoNC terminals.(3) Release microswitch button. This will berun position of microswitch. Continuity should be madebetween two NC terminals and common terminals. Thereshould be no continuity made between the NO ignition orstart terminals, or NO terminals and common termin-als. Replace microswitch if it does not check out cor-rectly.NOTEThe common terminal is connected toblower motor which operates at alltimes when heater is in operation.d. CoolantPumpandMotorAssembly.(1) After coolant pump has been overhauled, itmust be tested before being reinstalled on heater.(2) Mount motor and pump assembly on a teststand and install proper fittings in inlet and outlet ports.Attach hose line from supply tank to port marked IN.(3) Attach discharge line with pressure gauge andneedle valve to port marked OUT and return ,0 supplytank.(4) Attach electrical plug to motor receptacle andplug in to dc power supply.(5) Turn power switch on and run unit for ap-proximately 15 minutes on 24 Vdc.(6) Close valve in outlet line. (make sure dis-charge pressure does not exceed a maximum of 30 to50 psi when closing this valve). Open and close valvea few times to check consistency of valve performance.(7) To check pump for rated flow and pressure,adjust valve in discharge line until a reading of 2 psiis obtained on pressure gauge. Using a suitable timer,check for rated coolant flow of 80 gph (gallons per hour)minimum at 2 psi discharge pressure (at 70° F.) Am-perage draw must not exceed 6 amperes during thistest. Observe smoothness of operation of both pumpand motor. Seal leakage of 1 cc per hour is maximumwhen pump is operating at 2 psi discharge.(8) Turn power supply off, then remove dischargeline and fitting from OUT port. Plug this port and ap-ply 40 psi hydrostatic pressure for 20 minutes to inletport. No leakage shall be evident during this test.e. Motor.(1) The blower motor, (without coolant pump at-tached) can be tested when installed in heater.(2) Check end play on motor shaft, grasp shortend and rotate in either direction at the same timemoving in and out.The end play should not exceed0.010 to 0.025 inch, and fan should rotate freely.(3) Use a strobe light to check motor rpm’s(blower installed on heater). The fan speed should beapproximately 8500 rpm when 24 Vdc is applied.(4) The blower motor should not draw more than6 amperes (at 70° F).Higher amperage will indicatea defective motor. Replace defective motor.17-12. Installation.Refer to Operator and Organizational MaintenanceManual and install fuel-burning heater kit.Section IL ELECTRIC WINTERIZATION KIT17-13. General.The electric winterization kit is available as an aidin starting the generator set in temperatures from25° F to -65° F. The electrical winterization kitconsists of a heat exchanger, control box, coolantpump, thermostat and accessories. The primarypurpose of the kit is to maintain the set in a heatedcondition, at any ambient temperature from 1250 Fto -65° F to enable it to accept 75% of rated load inone step within 20 seconds after starting action isinitiated.The coolant temperature is thermostat-tally controlled at 130° F to 150° F.Change 1 17-7
