WARNING: Personal Injury:
The enclosures on these units can become very hot
adjacent to the exhaust areas. Special care must be taken
when installing these units to insure that the risk of contact
by people is minimized.
The unit’s main frame should be bolted to a pad that meets
local code. Various materials, including concrete and
composites, are acceptable as long as they are structurally
sound supporting the weight of the unit and preventing
movement during operation. The mounting holes on the
base of this unit is 0.563” in diameter. The engine-generator
is mounted on a sub-frame which is isolated with special
shock mounts on the main frame. This allows the engine-
generator to vibrate without affecting the control panel on
the main frame.
Do not install any shock mounts between the base frame
and the pad. Engine vibration will be transmitted to the
control panel causing erroneous start/stop cycles and
premature control failure.
FUEL INSTALLATION
The fuel supply should be as close as possible to the
engine. This will reduce the installation cost of fuel runs.
The information in this manual is offered to assist you in
providing the proper fuel for your engine. However, this
information is only provided to inform you of the engine’s
requirements and assist in making you aware of the
decisions you must make. In no case should the instructions
and information provided be interpreted to conflict with
any local, state or national codes. If in doubt, always consult
your local fire marshal, gas supplier or building inspector.
INSTALLATION
GENERATOR CLEARANCES
These units should be mounted a minimum of 24” from
a structure. This will allow for ample room to maintain
and work on the generator set. Units must be installed in
accordance with all local, state, and national codes. Consult
your local agency for specific requirements.
DANGER: DEADLY EXHAUST GAS
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an orderless, deadly gas. Keep
genset exhaust a minimum of 60 inches away from vents,
windows, doors, soffit, and other openings to the building.
Check with local codes for more information about
generator clearances. Failure to safely install your genset
can result in serious personal injury and/or death.
ENGINE-GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
WARNING:
Before proceeding with installation, be sure the operation
selector switch is in the stop position.
These engine generator sets are designed to be mounted
on a pad outdoors only. The transfer switch is mounted
next to your electrical entrance or distribution panel
inside or outside the building. Consult a qualified, licensed
electrician or contractor to install and wire the transfer
switch. The installation must comply with all national, state
and local codes. Before beginning the installation process
check the rating of the generator set and its transfer
switch rating. Be certain they can handle the intended
load and are compatible with the entrance voltage,
phase and current ratings. Plans for installation should
be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and
electrical engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system
installation. The information in this manual is offered only as
a guide to finalizing your installation plans.
