Hello Express1, I have the Parts, Service and Installation factory manuals for a 20kw kohler with a yanmar engine in .pdf files. Would you like me to send them to you and you can go to your local copy shop and have them all printed and bound. They are great manuals! If so, I will need your email address. Jennifer

Good point Jennifer.

To our new forum administrators, I wonder if is possible to have a area in the site to start cataloging and archiving all the downloads that we have collected so that they would be available to the members. In my computer ignorance, I could be suggesting a bad idea. Just wonder what you think?

I am just a simple member of the forum but archives with manuals would be a great addition to help with the maintenance, great idea!

Ken will need to determine if he has the bandwidth and the storage space available to hold these sometimes huge files on this site. A reference material forum that is limited to links to these materials would be fairly easy to implement. I will check with Ken.

If Ken is limited on bandwidth and storage space I have a server that maybe we could link to for the manuals. PM me.
http://www.wanderlodgeownersgroup.com/forums/ has a section for manuals, etc. are they are using the same software?

Yes, Forest, Wanderlodge Owners Group is also running VBulletin. Thanks for the offer. I'm sure we will hear from the Administrators. I have PM'ed Sean and alerted him to this thread.

Block part of the fresh air intake? I was thinking about placing a couple of those freeze containers in the compartment. The fan then would draw colder air?????

hi all,

it was about 115 degrees here yesterday and at the peak temp with the sun shining directly on the front of the coach, i fired up the genny to run the air conditioners for 90 minutes or so. i needed to do some work inside the coach and it was almost 125 degrees inside. after about 90 minutes the genny temp gauge on the dash was right at 200 degrees. i am a worry wart about overheating things, so i shut it down. i called newell service this morning and talked to creslie. he said 200 degrees is no problem and as i knew the genny would shut down when it got too hot, which was we think about 225-230 degrees.

mine had never run over 190 before but i have not run it when it was this hot here for extended periods of time.

he also suggested to lift the front of the coach up with the leveling system to allow more hot air to flow under the coach.

later

tom

Tuga, my generator is always running between 175-200. As you said, Newell said it is acceptable. They also told me on my 02, it has an auto shut off of it over heats. I'm not sure about your 99, but Newell would know.

Default Generator blower bushings...

I found that my generator blower shaft was a littlle too loose. After pulling the squirrell cage out I found that one of my bushings was worn down almost to the point of damaging the bearing housing.

I went to Grangier and found a replacement bushing and installed it. Now the blower shaft is tight and the belt doesn't wobble.

My generator had 3,114 hours on it, so if your has around 3,000 hours you might want to check the bushings and see if they need replacing.

My blower is a Dayton 2C975 and the bushing part # 3FJT7 (Grangier part #). The bushings are not quite long enough so we just used 2 and put a shaft collar on the shaft to hold the bushings in place.

The original parts are no longer available from Dayton.
