PROBLEM
The existing space heater mounting brackets may cause space heaters to be located too close to main stator windings on certain 3516B, 3516C, 3516C HD, G3516H HD, G3520H HD, CG170-16, C175-16, and C175-20 Generator Sets packaged with 3000 frame Generators. If the existing space heater brackets cause the space heaters to be located too close to the main stator windings, there is potential for an electrical short and/or physical damage to the winding insulation. |

In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 32% of dealership population. This is an initial order recommendation only, and the ultimate responsibility for ordering the total number of parts needed to satisfy the program lies with the dealer. |
ACTION REQUIRED
Inspect the generator space heater location and the proximity to the main stator windings. If the spacing is less than 1-1/2 inches, it is required to increase the spacing by removing the 383-1417 Space Heater Mounting Brackets and replace with the 421-9839 Space Heater Mounting Brackets. Alternatively, to achieve a greater amount of spacing from the main stator winding, refer to the procedure for mounting the 383-1418 Space Heater in Engine News, "New Procedure for Mounting Space Heater Is Now Available for Certain Cat Engines and Generator Sets". |
