Section XIV. UNIT MAINTENANCE OF THE GENERATOR SET CONTROLS
4-62 GENERAL. This paragraph contains unit maintenance instructions for the generator set controls. The con-
trol cubicle assembly and the fault locator panel contain the controls, instruments,and indicators for controlling and
monitoring the operation of the generator set. The 400 Hz and 50/60 Hz tactical precise models incorporate a gover-
nor control unit which operates the hydraulic actuator to change the governor setting. This function is fulfilled by
the manual speed control on the tactical utility model. The interconnecting wiring harness provides electrical con-
nection between the major assemblies and the control cubicle and fault indicator panel.
4-63 CONTROL CUBICLE ASSEMBLY.
The generator shall be shut off and the battle disconnected prior to per-
forming maintenance on the control cubicle assembly. Failure to observe
this warning may result in electrical shock or death by electrocution.
NOTE
Access to the interior of the control cubicle assembly is obtained by loosening
three fasteners at the top of the panel and swinging the panel forward on the hinge
at its lower side until its weight is supported by the door holders.
