1 Transport the generator

The base of the generator is specially designed for easy handling. Improper handling will seriously damage the components of the generator.

Use a forklift to lift the generator carefully or push or pull carefully on the chassis. If you push, do not use the fork to push the rack directly. Be sure to place a forest head between the fork and the rack to prevent damage to the rack and disperse weight. If the generator is to be transported frequently, an "oil-filled slide rail" can be installed on the rack, and the slide rail will provide forklift grooves and eyes for hanging. Smaller models already have grooves on the underframe for forklifts to lift.

Warning ★

! Never lift the generator set with the hoisting ring of the engine or alternator.

! Check whether the suspension equipment and supporting hands are in good condition, and whether the load capacity of the suspension equipment is appropriate.

! When the machine is hoisted, no one should come near.

If you plan to hoist the generator, you should install a single-point suspension device, which is already available for standard machines with a canopy.

If the generator is hoisted for installation, the protruding points on the bottom frame are for hoisting. After the connection is made, check whether it is firmly hung, whether there are cracks in the weld, whether the screws are tightened, etc. The cross bar is needed to protect the machine from bumping. The hoisting point should be in the center of gravity (closer to the generator) instead of the center of the whole machine, so that it can be hoisted vertically. Once the machine is off the ground, a guide cable should be used to prevent the rope from kinking or the machine from swinging. Do not lift when the wind is strong. Place the machine in a flat place that can bear the weight of the generator.

This lifting method can only be used for one-time lifting for installation. If lifting is often required, a single-point suspension device should be installed. If the generator is hoisted by a helicopter, the hoisting ring must be used.

2 Installation location

Choosing a good place to install the generator is the most important of all steps in the installation. The following factors are very important for site selection.

●Enough ventilation.

●It can protect parts from rain, snow, hail, flood, direct sunlight, freezing temperature or overheating.

●Do not expose the machine to polluted air, such as grinding dust, metal dust, fiber chips, smoke, oil fume, vaporized gas, engine smoke or other pollution.

●The generator should be installed in a place that will not be overwhelmed by falling trees, electric poles, or overwhelmed by objects falling from vehicles or cranes.

●There must be space around the generator, one for cooling, and the other for easy maintenance, at least 1 meter around and no other objects 2 meters above it.

●There must be a passage that allows the whole machine to pass to the installation room. The air inlet and outlet pipes should be easy to load and unload in order to be used as a port.

●Restrict non-management personnel from entering the computer room.

If the generator must be installed outside the building, it needs to be equipped with an all-weather housing or container type. It is very useful for such enclosure devices as generators that need to be temporarily installed inside or outside the building.

3 Foundation / shock absorber

The whole generator set is installed with a rigid base frame to accurately install the alternator and engine. Therefore, when installing the generator, it only needs to be fixed on a good foundation with screws.

3.1 Basics:

The best foundation is to build a reinforced concrete to install the generator. The foundation provides a rigid support for the generator, which can prevent oscillation and vibration. The standard cement block thickness is 150mm-200mm (6-8 inches), and the area cannot be smaller than the generator set chassis. The ground or floor under the base plate should be arranged in advance to support the weight of the base plate plus the generator. (If the generator is to be installed above the ground floor, the structure of the building must be able to withstand the weight of the generator, as well as reserve fuel and accessories, etc.) The building must comply with local building regulations. If the floor is often wet, such as The foundation of the boiler room must be higher than the floor, so as to provide a place for the generator, and to facilitate the wiring, repair and maintenance of workers, and to minimize the corrosion of the metal of the chassis.

3.2 Shock absorption:

In order to minimize the transmission of vibration from the generator to the building, the generator is equipped with shock absorbers, which are installed between the engine/alternator feet and the chassis. This allows the bottom frame to be directly bolted to the foundation. As for the larger generators, the engine/alternator is rigidly fixed to the chassis, and a shock absorber is attached for users to use between the frame and the foundation during installation. In any case, the motor should be firmly bolted to the ground to prevent movement. (With or without the shock absorber)

Shock absorbers also need to be used on the external connections of the machine, such as flexible fuel pipes, smoke exhaust hoses, flexible outlets for exhaust pipes, wire hoses and other connection support systems, etc.
