Location and Mounting
LIFTING THE GENSET
The genset weighs 425 pounds (193 kg) and has
two lifting eyes accessible through the round covers
in the top panel (Page 23). Use proper equipment
for safe handling. Use both lifting eyes.
Save the four steel clamps that secured the genset
to the shipping skid if they are to be used for secur-
ing the genset to the floor or frame. See MOUNT-
ING THE GENSET.
LOCATING THE GENSET
See the other sections titled
Ventilation
,
Fuel Sup-
ply,
Engine Cooling
and
Engine Exhaust
for addi-
tional considerations that bear on location.
The genset is
ignition protected
and therefore per-
mitted under USCG regulation 33CFR183 to be lo-
cated in a gasoline fuel environment.
Because of noise, vibration, exhaust and vapors,
the generator compartment should be located as far
from the living quarters as practical.
Locate the genset where there will be enough room
to perform periodic maintenance and service. Non-
service sides should have at least 2 inches (51 mm)
of clearance.
The left side must have at least 1 inch
(25 mm) of clearance for inlet air flow. The top must
have at least 2 inches (51 mm) of clearance for re-
moval. The right side must have at least 2 inches
(51 mm) of clearance for removing the side panel,
which must be remove to adjust the V-belt, replace
the raw water pump impeller, service the heat ex-
changer and replace the fuel pump. At least 1 inch
(25 mm) of clearance is required in front of the outlet
air grille on the right side.
There must be access for:
•
Starting and stopping the genset
•
Resetting the line circuit breakers
•
Checking, filling and draining engine oil
•
Changing the engine oil filter
•
Checking, filling and draining engine coolant
•
Replacing raw water and exhaust hoses
•
Replacing the raw water pump impeller
•
Adjusting the V-belt
•
Replacing the fuel pump
•
Inspecting the drive belt system and generator
bearing at the back of the genset
•
Making fuel connections
•
Making battery and ground connections
•
Making AC connections
•
Making remote control connections
MOUNTING THE GENSET
The genset has integral vibration isolators. The sup-
porting structure underneath should be level and
able to support the weight of the genset. Floor or
frame stiffness should be greatest under the vibra-
tion isolators. Secure the genset to the floor or frame
in one of the following ways:
•
By bolting it with three (3) bolts through the bolt
holes in the drip pan (Page 23).
•
By clamping it with the four (4) steel clamps that
secured it to the shipping skid: one at each cor-
ner (Page 23). A clamp can be on either side
of a corner.
•
By bolting it through the front bolt hole in the
drip pan and clamping each rear corner with a
steel clamp.
To reduce noise, plug the unused clamp openings in
the drip pan with the four rubber plugs shipped in the
literature packet.
