NSTALLATION OF MOBILE SITE SETS
3.1 Specific arrangements
An area will be reserved to install the generating set. Its should be flat and strong enough so
that the generator does not sink into it. It could be made of concrete or even large planks fitted
together.
It should be noted that a generating set that does not rest correctly on its base (frame or trailer)
will be subject to vibrations that could cause damage to all the equipment.
The location of the set on site should be chosen for ease of fuel supply and distribution of
current to the users.
Access to the set's doors should be available at all times for safety and maintenance reasons.
Ventilation of the generating set should not be affected if there are different objects close by.
It will cause abnormal heating and reduced power.
Burnt gas evacuation will take place in such a way that there is no reaspiration into the air
filter or cooling system.
The generating set's neutral speed must be used to protect people.
Earthing is carried out using a metal post buried deeply in the ground.
These sets are to be covered or protected from bad weather by a suitable construction (see
previous sections).
Examples of problems that may be encountered :
Incorrect exhaust and
ventilation
Ground too uneven or soft.
Set incorrectly positioned
Reduced access
Fuel filling impossible Opening cover doors impossible
