Take precautions against fire. Handle fuel, oil and antifreeze with care
because they are flammable materials. Do not smoke or approach with naked
flame when handling such substances. Keep a fire extinguisher in the vicinity.
9.
Make sure that no loose tools, loose parts or rags are left in or around
the generator. Never leave rags or loose clothing near the engine intake.
10.
Before cleaning the generator for use after maintenance or overhaul,
submit it to a test run. Check that the AC power performance is correct
and that the control and shut down devices function correctly.
LEADING PARTICULARS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The QAS generator is an AC generator, built for continuous running at sites where no electricity is available. The generator operates at 60 Hz,
120/240 V in 1 phase line to line mode, 120/208/240 V in 3 phase line to line lower voltage mode and 480 V in 3 phase line to line higher
voltage mode. The 58-78 QAS generator is driven by a water-cooled diesel engine manufactured by John Deere. An overview of the main
parts is given in the diagram below.
1 – Lifting Rod
2 – Guiding rod
3 – Side access doors
4 – Engine exhaust
5 – Data plate
6 – Side door access control panel
7 – Output terminal board

When servicing batteries, always wear protective clothing and glasses.
The electrolyte is a sulfuric acid that can cause severe burns. When
charging batteries, and explosive gas can form above the cells and can
escape through the vents. Do not smoke near batteries being, or recently
been charged. Never break live circuits or battery terminals, because a
spark usually occurs.

Make sure that all sound dampening material is in good condition. If
damaged, replace with genuine Atlas Copco material to prevent sound
pressure level from increasing.
