The engine manufacturer has established an excellent worldwide
engine service organization; engine service is available from a
nearby authorized dealer or distributor; check the Yellow Pages
of the telephone directory under “engines,” or ask the dealer from
whom you purchased the power plant.
The rated power of each engine-generator is limited by the
temperature, altitude and all other ambient conditions specified
by the engine manufacturer. Engine power will decrease 3-1/2%
for each 1000 ft. above sea level, and will decrease an additional
1% for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit above 60 degrees Fahren-
heit.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
** NOTICE **
When unpacking the generator set, be sure to inspect it carefully
for freight loss or damage. If loss or damage is noted at the time
of delivery, require that the person making the delivery to make a
note of the loss or damage on the freight bill, or affix his signature
under the consignee’s memo of the loss or damage. Contact the
carrier for claim procedures.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery, segregate the
damaged material, and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
“Concealed Damage” is understood to mean damage to the
contents of a package which is not in evidence at the time of
delivery by the carrier, but which is discovered later. The carrier
or carriers are responsible for merchandise lost or damaged in
transit. The title to goods rests with the consignee when genera-
tors are shipped FOB factory, and only the consignee can legally
file a claim.
**** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - These units are shipped with oil, and a
50/50 mix of coolant. Be sure to check all fluid levels before
operating. See engine manufacturer’s instruction manual for
recommended oil requirements before initial starting.
UNPACKING:
1. Carefully remove the carton.
2. After inspecting the engine-generator for external physical
damage, check for the following items packed inside the carton.
a. Owner’s manual, and wiring diagram.
b. Engine manufacturer’s instruction manual.
3. Remove main frame hold down bolts, (4).
4. Unit can now be lifted from shipping rails.
INSTALLATION
General Information
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
PERSONAL INJURY - Before proceeding with the installation, be
sure the operation selector switch is in the "stop" position.
These engine generator sets are available as an unhoused, skid
mounted unit for indoor installation or a skid mounted unit with a
standard or acoustical housing for outdoor installation. All
versions of these units must be bolted solidly to a concrete pad.
The transfer switch is mounted next to your distribution panel
inside the building. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician or
contractor to install and wire the transfer switch. The installation
must comply with all national, state, and local codes.
***** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - These units must be mounted on a solid
concrete pad to prevent air from exiting under the unit. Allowing
air to exit under the unit may cause the unit to overheat from lack
of proper air flow.
Before beginning the installation process recheck the rating of the
generator set and it’s transfer switch rating. Be certain they can
handle the intended load and are compatible with the entrance
voltage, phase and current ratings. Plans for installation should
be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and electrical
engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system installation.
The information in this manual is offered only as a guide to
finalizing your installation plans. For full service switching the
A.T.S. must have a fusible disconnect (circuit breaker) installed
before the switch to protect the contacts.
ENGINE GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
The unit’s main frame should be bolted solidly to a 4 to 6 inch
thick cement pad. The engine-generator is mounted on a sub-
frame which is attached with special shock mounts to the main
frame. This allows the engine-generator free movement without
affecting the control panel which is mounted on the main frame.
Do not shock mount the main frame. Engine vibration will be
transmitted to the control panel causing erroneous start/stop
cycles and premature control failure.
The unit should be mounted to allow for ample working room
around it. A general rule to follow is three (3) feet clearance on
all sides.
FUEL INSTALLATION
The fuel supply should be as close as possible to the engine.
This will reduce the installation cost of fuel runs. The information
in this manual is offered to assist you in providing the proper fuel
for your engine. However, this information is only provided to
inform you of the engine’s requirements and assist in making you
aware of the decisions you must make. In no case should the
instructions or information provided be interpreted to conflict with
any local, state or national codes. If in doubt, always consult your
local fire marshal or gas supplier.
