OPERATING
PROCEDURES
2-1. Power Unit Operating Procedures. The typical mission for any mobile power generating
equipment can be described in three steps or phases. In the first phase, the power unit is towed to the worksite
and installed by unit level technicians (paragraph 4-2). In the second phase of the mission, the operator starts the
generator set, runs it to power a system or equipment, and eventually shuts it down. In the final phase, the power
unit is dismantled, packed up and either moved to a new worksite or returned to standby status (paragraph 4-3).
This final phase is also accomplished by unit level technicians.
