Positioning Of the Generator
When considering where to position generator please ensure genset is
located away from flammable materials.
Have easy access all round to enable work to be carried out easily in the
future (for maintenance).
Also note that the wall of the building needs a hole cut in it to ensure venting
of the radiator. This hole needs to be slightly larger than the radiator and the
cowling mounted on the inside wall. The genset can then be fitted into the
cowling to ensure hot air is released out of the building. Please also ensure
vermin trap (wire mesh is fitted to outside of building).
Also note the exhaust has been mounted along the top of the radiator to vent
all the hot exhaust gases out of the room. Please drill a hole capable of
putting the exhaust through. Ensure exhaust is facing down to stop water
from getting into the engine i.e. 45 degree angle is facing down.
Please ensure all holes in the wall are sealed around the edges and the
sealing material is heat retardant, especially around the exhaust system hole.
Once final position of the unit has been decided place the vibration pads
underneath the skid as shown below:
Also ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to ensure air flow. In an
ideal situation this would be cross ventilation to enable engine to breathe.
The generator room needs to be kept clean and tidy, be free from heavy dirt
and dust to ensure a long life span of the electronic components fitted to the
unit.
