Installation and connection
3.1
Lifting
The lifting eye, to lift the generator set by means of a
hoist, is integrated in the bodywork and easily
accessible from the outside. The recesses in the roof
have guiding rods at both sides.
When lifting the generator set, the hoist has to be
placed in such a way that the generator set, which
must be placed level, will be lifted vertically.
To be able to lift the QES 60 generator set by means
of a forklift, rectangular slots are provided at the
bottom of the frame.
3.2
Installation
3.2.1
Indoor installation
If the generator set is operated indoors, install an
exhaust pipe of sufficient diameter to duct the engine
exhaust towards the outside. Check for sufficient
ventilation so that the cooling air is not recirculated.
3.2.2
Outdoor installation
– Place the generator set on a horizontal, even and
solid floor. The generator set can operate in a slant
position not exceeding 15% (in both senses: front/
rear and left/right).
– The generator set should be kept with the doors
closed, in order to avoid the ingress of water and
dust. Dust ingress reduces the lifetime of filters
and may reduce your generator set's performance.
– Check that the engine exhaust is not directed
towards people.
– Locate the rear end of the generator set upwind,
away from contaminated wind streams and walls.
Avoid recirculation of exhaust air from the
engine. This causes overheating and engine power
decrease.
Never use the guiding rods to lift the
generator set.
Lifting acceleration and deceleration
must be kept within safe limits (max.
2 g).
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
