Do you know what the TM number is? The NSN would help too.

Never mind. I found the TM's. TM 9-4120-398-14. Those switches do not appear to be standard to the equipment. First off, I have never seen switches mounted on the outside of equipment like this. They would be broken off way too easy. And second off, the TM's have nothing in them to give me a clue. Looks like shade tree mechanics.

I have seen others on the Action with the same switches so i was just wondering what they was

I just checked the Auction again and yes several on there have the same switches so they are on there for a reason

 

[Guyfang]

I am sure they are there for a reason. But can not find them in the TM's. I just posted the TM's in the Forum, so take a look see.

I just looked at the schematic. There are not that many switches on the schematic. This is something someone added.

I guess its triel and error then i gess lol

 

[Guyfang]

If I had to guess, it might be that the switches can turn on or turn off individual heater coils.

 

[britches40353]

I know several of these on gov planet has thes switches . I can bearly make out the letters on them and it says No on each, and the middle one has power in and power out so i do not have a clue,

Ok another question could someone tell me what kinda electrical plug that works on this i am wanting to hook it up to my 3ph Generator, and if now could some one tell me how to hook the 3ph wires with out the plug,,

Look for the input, (Male End) canon plug. You may need to take out the 4 mounting screws, but in any case, the part number is on the plug. top or bottom, not sure. Then look it up in the web and see who makes it and then you can get the part number for the female end.

If you want to "Hot Wire" it, use the wire schematic and trace the wires from the input canon plug. to the input CB, (Circuit Breaker.) Disconnect the wires from the CB and the Neutral wire from where ever it gets connected. Then use a cable from the Input CB to the gen set. Pin A of the plug is L1, Pin B is L2, Pin C is L3 and Pin D is the Neutral. If you do not use caution, bad things can happen.

Do you have a copy of the use the wire schematic ?

[britches40353]

[Guyfang]
