2.1.4 Installation
Whisper generating sets are not self-contained and have to be
properly installed in enclosed areas such as a machine room.
Installation includes measures to be taken to outlet
exhaust fumes which contain carbon monoxide and are
extremely dangerous.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible odourless gas. Inhalation
produces headache, nausea or death. Installation includes
measures for proper ventilation, safe electric connections, safe
installation of the starting battery, proper fitting of the cooling
system and fuel pipes etc. See the installation manual.
2.1.5 Operation
External moving parts like fans and V-belts are covered by the
canopy and therefore the M-SQ-Pro15/18 is very safe when the
canopy is closed.
Nevertheless take note of the signs on the generating
set which show symbols in a triangle indicating
danger.
When service has to be carried out while the engine is
running, be aware of moving parts like V-belts.
•
The generating set should be operated by authorised
personnel only.
•
Be aware of hot parts and especially parts of the ex-
haust system and cooling system.
•
If the generating set is unsafe, fit danger notices and
disconnect the battery positive (+) lead so that it cannot
be started until the condition is corrected.
•
Do not attempt to operate the generating set with a
known unsafe condition. Disconnect the battery posi-
tive (+) lead prior to attempting any repairs or cleaning
inside the enclosure.
•
Always consult the manual before carrying out mainte-
nance.
•
Do not change the settings without consulting the
manufacturer. Keep a record of setting changes in this
manual.
2.1.6 Fire and explosion
Fuels can be flammable. Proper handling limits the risk
of fire and explosion.
•
Avoid refilling the fuel tank while the engine is running.
When oil or fuel is leaking do not use the generating
set.
•
Do not run the engine close to explosives or gasses.
•
Hydrogen gas generated by charging batteries is
explosive. Take measures for proper ventilation. Do
not smoke or allow sparks, flames, or other sources of
ignition around batteries.
•
Keep a fire extinguisher on hand.
•
Poor electrical connections or using wiring which is not
suited for the rated currents can cause overheating and
possibly fire.
2.1.7 Chemicals
•
Fuels, oils, coolants, and battery electrolyte can be
hazardous to personnel if not treated properly. Do not
swallow or have skin contact with these liquids. Do not
wear clothing that has been contaminated by fuel or
lubricating oil.
•
Gaskets may be manufactured from asbestos. Particles
of this material should not be inhaled as this may result
in fatal diseases.
•
On no account allow any unprotected skin to come into
contact with the injector spray as the fuel may enter
the blood stream with fatal results.
•
Engines may be fitted with seals or O-rings manufac-
tured from “viton” or similar material. When exposed
to abnormal high temperatures in excess of 400°C an
extremely corrosive acid is produced which cannot be
removed from the skin. If signs of decomposition are
evident, or if in doubt, always wear disposable heavy
duty gloves.
2.2 Transport, lifting and storage
When lifting the generating set avoid any risk of
personal injuries, do not stand under the generating
set.
•
Use soft slings to avoid damage
•
On the engine are lifting eyes, which can be used to
take the generator out of the capsule. The lifting eyes
can also be used to lift the entire generator set, includ-
ing the capsule
•
After transporting the generating set check for damage
before installation.
•
Long term storage can have detrimental effects on en-
gine and alternator. The engine should be put through
an engine preservation procedure. (See the mainte-
nance chapter)
•
The alternator windings tend to condense. To minimise
condensation, store the generating set in a dry and
warm storage area.
•
After removing the generating set from long term
storage perform an insulation check. (See the alternator
maintenance paragraph for procedures)
•
While the battery is stored it should be recharged every
12 weeks.
