Hello all forum users!
If a close coupling adaptor is used, the alignment of machined faces must be checked by offering the generator up to the engine.
In my opinion, offering the generator up to the engine means matching the generator to the engine or bringing the generator into close contact with the engine.
One of definitions of the verb "offer" by the FreeDictionary is:
12. (Engineering / Mechanical Engineering) (tr; sometimes foll by up or to) Engineering to bring (a mechanical piece) near to or in contact with another, and often to proceed to fit the pieces together.
offer - definition of offer by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Since alignment of the generator with the engine flywheel is discussed, this definition could make sense.
What do you think?
Here is some more context:
Offer the generator to the engine and engage both coupling discs and housing spigots at the same time, pushing the generator towards the engine until the coupling discs are against the flywheel face and the housing spigots located.
Thank you.
