7.4 Overview of the mechanical options
The following "mechanical" options are available for the QAS 14
and QAS 20 units:
– External fueltank connection (with/without quick couplings)
– Undercarriage (axle, towbar, towing eyes)
– Wheel chocks
– Lighting tower
– Skid fueltank
7.5 Description of the mechanical options
7.5.1 External fueltank connection (with/
without quick couplings)
The option "External fueltank connection" allows to bypass the
internal fueltank and to connect an external fueltank to the unit.

When using this option, make sure to connect the fuel supply line
as well as the fuel return line. Connections to fuellines ought to be
air-tight to prevent air from entering the fuel system.
7.5.2 Undercarriage (axle, towbar, towing
eyes)
The undercarriage is equipped with an adjustable towbar with
brakes, with DIN-eye, AC-eye, NATO-eye, GB-eye, ITA-eye or
ball coupling and with road signalisation which is approved by EC
legislation.
When using this option
– Make sure that the towing equipment of the vehicle matches the
towing eye before towing the generator.
– Never move the generator while electrical cables are connected to
the unit.
– Always apply the hand brake when parking the generator.
– Leave enough space for operation, inspection and maintenance (at
least 1 meter at each side).
To maintain the undercarriage
– Check the tightness of the towbar bolts, the axle bolts and the wheel
nuts at least twice a year and after the initial 50 hours of operation.
– Grease the wheel axle suspension bearings, the drawbar to the
steering gear shaft and the spindle of the brake handle at least twice
a year. Use ball bearing grease for the wheel bearings and graphite
grease for the drawbar and spindle.
– Check the brake system twice a year.
– Check the condition of the vibration dampers twice a year.
– Repack the wheel hub bearings once a year using grease.
