MOUNTING 12 IN.
Mount the generator set on a substantial and level BASE (305 mm)
base such as a concrete pad. A non-combustible CONCRETE
material must be used for the pad.
Use 5/8 inch or 16 mm anchored mounting bolts to
secure the vibration isolators to the base. Secure
the vibration isolators using flat or bevel washer and
hexagonal nut for each bolt (see Figure 3-1). The MOUNTING

Outline Drawing referenced in the Data Sheet.
ACCESS TO SET
Generally, at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance
should be provided on all sides of the generator set
for maintenance and service access. (Increase
clearance by width of door if optional housing is
used.) A raised foundation or slab of 150 mm (6
inches) or more above floor level will make servic-
ing easier.
Lighting should be adequate for operation, mainte-
nance and service operations and should be con-
nected on the load side of the transfer switch so that
it is available at all times.

GENERAL
Generator set wattage capacity is sufficient to handle maximum anticipated load.
At least 3 feet of clearance (or greater for housing door) is provided around entire generator set for servic-
ing and ventilation.
Generator set is located in an area not subject to flooding.
All operating personnel have read and are familiar with Operator’s Manual.
All operators have been thoroughly briefed on preventive maintenance procedures.
All operators have read and understand all Important Safety Instructions in Operator’s Manual.
GENERATOR SET SUPPORT
Floor, roof or earth on which the generator set rests is strong enough and will not allow shifting or move-
ment. Observe local codes on soil bearing capacity due to freezing and thawing.
Generator set is properly supported and retained to approved base.
Supporting base is large enough and is of non-combustible material − extends 6-inches all around set.
COOLING AIR FLOW
Generator set air inlet is faced into direction of strongest, prevailing winds.
Air inlet openings are unrestricted and at least 1−1/2 times larger than air outlet area.
Cooling air outlet is on downwind side of building (if not, wind barrier is constructed).
Proper ducting material (sheet metal, canvas) is used between radiator and air outlet.
