150-kW Generator: Kits Make Services Faster

ugh. the only thing worse than having to order aLl the individual parts for 1000-hr services on my 150-kW generator is having to order ‘em for 250-hr services! man, there’s goTta be A betTer way!

Every mechanic knows the frustration of ordering all the individual parts required for the 250- and 1,000-hr services on the 150-kW generator, NSN 6115-12-337-8494. The parts may all be listed in Chap 6 of TM 9-6115-668-13 (Dec 11), but it’s still a time-consuming effort. And maintenance gets held up if you receive the wrong parts or they don’t all arrive together.

To cut through those problems, CECOM has put together kits for both the 250- and 1,000-hr services. The 250-hr kit comes with NSN 2990-01-641-0666. Get the 1,000-hr kit with NSN 2990-01-641-0709.
