TYPICAL OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT THAT
MAY BE INSTALLED ON YOUR GENERATOR
A) Flexible Fuel Line: This is a requirement in most
local codes. A stainless steel flexible line is installed
between gen-set and dry fuel black ridged pipe.
Normal gen-set vibration is not passed on to rigid
fuel line. CAUTION: Flexible line must be
installed straight, with no bends allowed.
B) Engine Coolant Heater: Connected to engine
block by flexible tubing. Heater has its own
automatic on/off thermostat that operates on 120
VAC, and provides faster cold weather starting.
C) Battery Heater: This is a battery wrap blanket kit
with on/off thermostat and operates on 120 VAC, for
faster cold weather starting.
D) Emergency Stop Switch: Comes in (3) different
styles and operates on 120 VAC. Switch is mounted
on exterior of weather housing, or by control panel
on “Open” (no housing) generator sets.
E) “Residential”, “Critical” or “Hospital” Grade
Mufflers: Are optional choices on “Open” generators.
NOTE: Housed generators will have a “Residential”
grade muffler as standard equipment, with “Critical”
or “Hospital” mufflers as optional equipment.
F) Generator Enclosure Lights: For easier servicing at
night time.
G) Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG): Allowing
superior inductive electric motor starting, and
uninterrupted generator excitation power (endures
direct short circuit loads for 4-6 seconds) and
complies with NFPA-110 requirements.
H) Dual Fuel: LPV/Natural Gas combination fuel
system.
I) Cold Climate: Generator winding, space heaters.
J) Fungus Proofing: For protection of copper
windings for coastal areas and the “Tropics”.

TYPICAL EMERGENCY GENERATOR
INSTALLATION PRACTICES FOR AN ALL
WEATHER/SOUND PROTECTED METAL
ENCLOSURE
A standby emergency power system with its own
weather protective housing, allows faster and more
economical installation than the “Open” generator,
requiring a building for its weather and sound
protection.
The GILLETTE housing is especially designed for
each KW generator size, paying close design
attention to the required amount of cooling air
entering the housing, and to ensure adequate hot air
discharge is ample, sound deadening is maximum,
without degrading normal operation of generator set.
The generator housing is all metal, with air openings
and air baffles, strategically located to maximize hot
air discharge and minimize vibrations and sound.
Sound deadening foam is used thru-out the interior of
the metal enclosure.
A particular importance is the interior and exterior
housing finish. All housing parts undergo the
following process:
A) There are (5) separate heated washings to insure a
clean metal part.
B) The 6th stage is a complete emersion into a zinc
phosphate solution to ensure full corrosion
resistance.
C) Each part is separately E-Coated by complete
tank emersion, to ensure complete coverage
protection in even the most complicated formed
parts.
D) Final finish is a UL Certified powder coat enamel
for outside operation, and a final bake finish,
providing a “Best of Class”, semi-gloss protection,
for years against rust and corrosion.
There are two choices of sound/weather protected
housings:
