ID Tag
Each unit has an identification tag installed on the skid. Use the ID tag information (weight,
model, serial number, etc.) for transportation documentation.
Installation
Once the power unit is on location, then the installation process gets the unit ready for
operation.
Location of the Unit
Remember the following points when positioning the power unit for installation.
The physical space required for the unit is detailed in the general specifications page.
Consideration should also be given for access around the power unit for startup
procedures and maintenance activities.
The power unit should be located on an area that is relatively flat. Installing the unit
on an incline could adversely affect the fluid levels of the motor oil and hydraulic
fluid.
Also, take into account the location of the power unit to keep it as close as possible to
the equipment in order to reduce pressure losses in the line. Pressure losses from
long hose lengths can reduce the system performance and generate significant heat.
Ensure the exhaust and intake air paths are unobstructed. The engine exhaust should
be directed towards a well ventilated area and pointed away from any operator
positions.
If located near an operator, then proper safety equipment such as ear protection
should be worn by all personnel near the unit.
The diesel power unit incorporates several safety devices. However, this combustion
engine driven power unit is neither designed nor certified as an explosion proof
system.
The unit will require diesel fuel, engine oil and hydraulic fluid to be added or
removed during operation or maintenance. Take precautions when adding new
fluids to avoid spills and dispose of used fluids according to the applicable local
environmental laws.
Engine System Inspection
Examine the following areas on the diesel engine after the unit is in its final position. Do not
inspect the engine while it is running. Review the included engine manuals for detailed
instruction.
With the power unit on level terrain, check the motor oil level using the dipstick. The
level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Add motor oil to the
inlet if the level is below the minimum mark. Refer to the engine manual for the type
of motor oil required. As a general rule, use SAE 10W-30 motor oil for average
ambient operating temperatures below 45°F (7°C), SAE 15W-30 for 45° to 85°F (7° to
30°C) operation and SAE 15W-40 for operation above 85°F (30°C). If the oil level is
above the maximum mark, then drain the motor oil level out of the outlet.
It may be necessary to purge the fuel system from air that may have been introduced
during transportation, during repair/maintenance work or if the system ran until the
fuel tank was empty. If air bubbles are in the fuel system, the power unit will have
