OPERATOR & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

When building the foundation, specific attention needs to be paid to the following:

The generator base must be isolated from the building foundation.

Depth and width to meet the basic requirements.

Foundation must be strong enough to take the impact and running force of the
machine.

Ensure that no vibration is transmitted to the building foundation when the unit
starts.

Ease of maintenance and servicability operations.

When calculating the length L and width B of the base allow an additional
100 ‐ 300mm on each side.

The base should be higher than engine room floor by 20 ‐ 300mm.
Mounting the Generator
The generator is mounted on a steel ‐ base tank that provides
adequate support. Vibration isolators are recommended
between the base tank and the foundation to provide stable
operation and avoid installation damage. Bolting the
generator directly to the floor or foundation can result in
excessive noise and vibration, and possible damage to the
generator and floor foundation.
Mount the generator on a substantial and level base such as
a concrete pad. Use 20mm anchored mounting bolts to
secure the vibration isolators to the base tank using flat or
bevel washers and a hexagonal nut for each bolt. The isolators should be located as shown
on the generator outline drawing.
Incorrect installation or service can result in severe personal injury or death, and/or
equipment damage. Only qualified service personnel should be allowed to perform electrical
and mechanical component installation.
Never install the genset near combustible materials. Locate the genset such that combustible
material can not accumulate under the machine. The possibility exists of fire or explosion,
causing damage to the equipment and or severe bodily harm or even death!
