5. INSTALLATION, HANDLING AND STORAGE
5.1 GENERAL
Once the size of the generating set and any associated control
systems or switchgear have been established, plans for installation
can be prepared. This section discusses factors important in the
effective and safe installation of the generating set.
5.2 CANOPY
All canopy parts are designed with modular principles without
welding assembly.
All metal canopy parts are painted by electrostatic polyester
powder paint.
Exhaust silencer is protected against envirenmental influences
and an emergency stop push button is installed on canopy.
Canopy enables easy lifting, maintenance and operation. It also
protects the genset from unauthorized usage and envioronmental
influences.
5.3 MOVING THE GENERATING SET
The generating set baseframe is specifically designed for ease of
moving the set. Improper handling can seriously damage
components.
Using a forklift, the generating set can be lifted or carefully
pushed/pulled by the baseframe. If pushing, do not push the
baseframe directly with fork. Always use wood between forks and
the baseframe to spread the load and prevent damage.
