The generating set is a unit which transforms the mechanical energy, generated by endothermic engine,
into electric energy, through an alternator.
The unit is composed of a structured base which includes a tank, an engine/alternator unit xed on the
base by elastic dampers, a roll-bar, with hook for an easy and sure lifting, a chest hinged to the roll-bar
for a quick access to the engine and to the air lter.
The set is completed by a frontal panel where the sockets, the protections and the measuring instruments
are mounted, all this protected by a same sized cover.

ACCES FORBIDDEN to non authorized peaple.

General installation criteria
Installation of a genset has to be planned by qualied and
trained technicians, it has to be carried out by a competent
organization with qualied personnel and proper equip-
ment.
Before proceeding with installation the following condi-
tions have to be checked:
• Genset has been selected according to needs of
the electrical load and to environmental conditions
(temperature, altitude and humidity);
• Genset location is of appropriate dimensions and
allows accessibility to genset for maintenance and/
or necessary repairs;
• If genset is indoors, ensure there is enough air for
engine combustion, for genset cooling (radiator and
generator), and sufcient ventilation;
• If genset is indoors, a system of expulsion for engine
exhaust gas is provided;
• Personnel safety has been carefully considered;
• Noise-level issues have been carefully considered;
• Fuel and lubricant stocking issues have been
considered in accordance to norms in force in the
country of installation.
ATTENTION
Faulty installation can create damage to the genset
and the User system, and injury to persons.
It is compulsory to install the genset according to the
norms in force in the country of installation.
The installing company must provide a conformity de-
claration stating that installation has been carried out
duly and according to plans and to norms in force.
ATTENTION
All generating sets are equipped with a control system
that is NOT inuenced by standard environmental fac-
tors and is able to stop the unit in case of anomalous
values in the fundamental parameters.
In order to avoid unexpected black-outs or other po-
tentially dangerous situations, the below installation
indications must be followed.
INFORMATION
Italian and European norms dene specic characteri-
stics referring to the premises in which genset should
be located, indicating possible positioning, minimum
dimensions, etc.
For any doubt referring to installation location contact
our technical sales ofce.

Environmental conditions
ATTENTION
Open gensets (SKID) have to be located in an area
protected from rain, snow, high humidity and direct
exposure to the sun.
Rain or high humidity on GE genset alternator, in par-
ticular during operation, cause an increase in volta-
ge output, winding faults, electric discharge towards
ground, with damage to the genset and injury to per-
sons. Dust, in particular saline dust, must be avoided.
In case radiator or air lters are obstructed, there is the
risk that genset will overheat or be damaged. Aspira-
tion grills must not be obstructed by leaves, snow, etc.
!
Output of fumes in open air conditions
DANGER
Genset must be positioned so that exhaust gas is dif-
fused without being inhaled by any living being.
Engine exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, which
is harmful to one’s health, and in big quantities can
cause intoxication and death.
Local norms in force have to be respected.
!
Outdoor installation
02/06/10 84306-GB

Safe distance
Fixing
In order to absorb vibrations produced by genset, it
should be xed to a surface with sufcient 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 veried as
suitable.
ATTENTION
A safe distance has to be kept between genset and
fuel deposits, inammable 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 inuenced by magnetic elds.
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 specic mea-
sures are needed in this regard.
In case of doubts concerning your genset do not
hesitate to contact our technical sales ofce.

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 reproof 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 re.
!
Temporary outdoor installation
Indications given for xed 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.

Surface area
The best solution is to create a base isolated from the
rest of the structure, on which the genset will be located,
in order to avoid vibrations being transmitted.
The base must be built with reinforced concrete and the-
re must be the possibility to x the genset to it by using
screw anchors or rag bolts.
Base dimensions should exceed genset dimensions of
at least 200 mm on each side. Base should weigh three
times static genset weight (indicated on the technical
date).
Floor should be levelled and suitable to sustain genset
weight.
Thresholds on doors and openings should have a barrier
in order to avoid liquids leaking. In case it is not possible
to provide a door with a barrier, the genset should have
a collection base appropriate for the quantity of liquid
it contains, in any case dimensions of collection base
must be in accordance to the laws in force in country of
installation.
Room openings and ventilation
The room should have a ventilation system sufcient
enough to avoid stagnation and circulation of overhe-
ated air.
Openings for incoming and outgoing air should be of
appropriate size, considering minimum required air ow
and maximum back pressure, values that can be che-
cked on the engine manual.
Opening for the air entrance should be near the back
part of the genset as close as possible to the ground.
If openings for air ow are not aligned with genset it may
be necessary to add air conduits to avoid any air disper-
sion (see gure).

For open gensets installed indoors, we recommend:
• The dimensions of the air outlets be such that they
have at least the same area of the radiator;
• the dimensions of the windows for air outlet is at
least on the surface of the radiator.
• The dimensions of the air inlets be such that they
have at least the same area of the radiator +10% for
gensets up to 130 kVA or +25% for gensets beyond
130 kVA;
For canopied gensets installed indoors, we recommend:
• The dimensions of the air outlets be such that they
have at least the same area of the generator air out-
lets, as indicated at page M2.7 of the present ma-
nual;
• The dimensions of the air inlets be such that they
have at least the same area of the generator air in-
lets, as indicated at page M2.7 of the present ma-
nual +10% for gensets up to 130 kVA or +25% for
gensets beyond 130 kVA;
The opening area has to be calculated considering pro-
tection grill surface, in order to insure that remaining free
area is sufcient.
Dimensions of openings calculated as above indica-
ted, are the minimum acceptable dimensions in case
of L.T.P. use; the pressure remaining after radiator and
back pressure must be considered while planning di-
mensions of the piping.
To calculate the opening section check below drawing:
WARNING: to avoid reux of heated air and loss of load,
add an air duct between radiator and opening.
To consider the correct quantity of heat to be dischar-
ged, loss of heat on duct should be evaluated. If the duct
is not appropriately insulated, room-temperature may in-
crease considerably, for this reason it may be necessary
to install an electro ventilator for correct air exchange.

ATTENTION
Exhaust piping may reach up to 600 °C during
operation, therefore it is compulsory to cover pi-
ping with appropriate insulation.

Fan Capacity [m3/h]= Transmitted heat [Kcal/h]
0,287 x ∆t [°C]
Considering:
• heat to radiation is indicated on engine/alternator
technical data sheet;
• 0. 287 is specic heat for each m3 of air at 20°C;
• Δt in °C is usually considered as equal to 5 °C
(worst conditions are considered).
Exhaust piping
Exhaust piping must be built in accordance to laws in
force in the country of installation.
General indications:
• Minimum required thickness: 2.0 mm;
• Diameter of piping has to be calculated considering,
length, number of bends, type of exhaust mufer,
and any other accessory used on it. Back pressure
should not exceed values provided by manufac-
turer, as this causes loss of power and damage to
the engine.
DANGER
Engine exhaust gas contains carbon mono-
xide, harmful to health and in large quantities
can cause intoxication or death.
• Exhaust piping should be composed of parts, con-
nected by anges with gaskets, for easy disassem-
bling and grant maximum tightness.
• Exhaust piping should be connected to engine by a
ex that should absorb dilatation and separate x part
from engine piping.
• Exhaust piping should not weigh on engine manifold.

+ Be sure that the lifting devices are: correctly mounted,
adequate for the weight of the machine with it’s pack-
aging, and conforms to local rules and regulations.
When receiving the goods make sure that the product
has not suffered damage during the transport, that
there has not been rough handling or taking away of
parts contained inside the packing or in the set.
In case you nd damages, rough handling or absence
of parts (envelopes, manuals, etc.), we advise you to
inform immediately our Technical Service.
For eliminating the packing materials, the User
must keep to the norms in force in his country.
1) Take the machine (C) out of the shipment packing.
Take out of the envelope (A) the user’s manual (B).
2) Read: the user’s manual (B), the plates xed on the
machine, the data plate.

General precautions when handling the machine.
To limit the dangers involved in moving a generating set,
it is important to carefully follow the guideline set out
below:
• Transportation must always take place with the en-
gine off and electrical cables and starting battery di-
sconnected and fuel tank empty.
• Particular attention must be paid to SKID version ge-
nerating sets (without canopy) that have very delicate
parts unprotected from bumps (injection pump, speed
regulator, radiator, electrical panel connections and
instrumentation).
• Generating sets must be protected from bad weather
during transport: the units must be entirely covered,
especially the electrical parts (alternator and control
panel).
• Some engine parts retain heat even after it has been
shut off: therefore it is necessary to wait for the engi-
ne to cool before covering it to avoid the risk of re.
• Clear the moving zone of all possible obstacles and
from all unnecessary personnel.
• Use properly sized lifting equipment regularly submit-
ted to major overhaul by an authorized organisation.
It is prohibited to fasten objects or accessories on the
generating set baseframe that may modify weight
and center of gravity and may cause movements un-
foreseen by the lifting eyes.
• Do not subject the generating set and lifting equip-
ment to abrupt or undulating movements that pass on
stress dynamics to the structure.
• Do not lift the generating set higher than what is ab-
solutely necessary.
• Transportation of separate manual or automatic con-
trol panels must be carried out very carefully in order
to avoid damage to the equipment contained inside
the panel and to the instruments on the front.
• To access the hook points on the top of the unit, use
approved ladders only or support from another opera-
tor: climb the ladder using non-skid shoes.
ATTENTION
When moving/lifting a genset it is imperative to be
extremely careful. All moving operations must be
carried out be qualied persons.
Due to the weight and encumbrance of the genset,
an error while moving/lifting the unit may cause
serious damage to it or surrounding persons.
Moving method
The generating sets are lifted with different methods ac-
cording to the unit’s conguration. Below are the main
methods of moving/lifting the genset.
Moving the generating set via forklift
When lifting with a forklift it is necessary to fork the ba-
seframe sideways so that the forks stick out from one
side to the other side, widening them to distribute the
weight properly, maintaining the genset level.
Stickers on the base indicate where to place the lifter
forks.

Moving the generating set via cables or chains
When lifting the genset with the aid of cables or chains it
is necessary to use equipment periodically checked by
a licensed organisation. Hook the cables only on to the
points provided for this use and shown via the appro-
priate stickers.
For correctly moving the generating set:
• DO NOT lift the genset by fastening cables to the lif-
ting eyes on the engine or alternator (these are only
used for lifting the single components).
• DO NOT make abrupt or undulating movements that
pass on stress dynamics to the structure.
• DO NOT leave the generating set suspended for lon-
ger than absolutely necessary to move the unit.
• Use all the lifting eyes provided.
• Use cables and/or chains of equal length so that the
weight is distributed evenly.
