Safe distance
Fixing
In order to absorb vibrations produced by genset, it
should be fixed to a surface with sufficient rigidity, isola-
ted against vibrations towards other structures and with
a mass equal to at least three times the genset mass.
DO NOT locate the genset on terraces or raised levels,
if its characteristics have not been previously verified as
suitable.
ATTENTION
A safe distance has to be kept between genset and
fuel deposits, inflammable goods (cloths, paper, etc.),
chemicals, according to indications provided by the
authority in charge. In order to avoid potentially dan-
gerous situations, area surrounding genset should be
isolated so that unauthorized people will not be able
to get close to the unit. Even if MOSA gensets are ma-
nufactured according to electromagnetic compatibility
norms, we suggest NOT to install the genset near ma-
chinery that can be influenced by magnetic fields.
NOTE
When using a genset it is advisable to adopt pre-
cautions to avoid that fuel, lubricant and other en-
gine liquids may accidentally cause soil pollution.
The most recent generators are designed to retain
possible liquid leakages, hence no specific mea-
sures are needed in this regard.
In case of doubts concerning your genset do not
hesitate to contact our technical sales office.

ATTENTION
Engine and alternator when in operation produce heat:
• Shelter should NOT obstruct normal cooling of com-
ponents;
• Exhaust gas should be directed in order to avoid the
possibility that alternator and engine fan inhale it;
• Shelter should be made of fireproof material, as em-
bers may come out of the exhaust pipe;
• Never cover or wrap up genset with plastic sheets or
other material while operating. If genset is off, make
sure engine has cooled before you cover it, or else
there may be risk of damage to the genset or may
catch fire.
!
Temporary outdoor installation
Indications given for fixed installation have to be follo-
wed.
If genset is not positioned correctly, vibrations transmit-
ted to the baseframe may cause the genset to move,
this may occur while the genset has a load inserted,
take on all necessary precautions to avoid this.

Fixed outdoor installation
If a shelter is used to protect the genset (see figure), it
should NOT be attached to it.
Even if a shelter is temporary the below indications
should be followed:
