Prior to assembly, inspect all of the components for damage, and report any damage to
the shipping company. Check the packing list to be sure all parts have been included
in the package.

Select a mounting location in accordance with the guidelines in the IM1000 Instal­lation Manual (supplied with the generator set). The generator set must typically be
mounted on a rigid, fl at surface above a strong structure, such as the vessel’s stringers,
to minimize vibration transference to the hull. This is particularly important when em­ploying a sound shield, as the baseboard is a non-structural material and must be fully
supported to minimize fl ex.

Note that the generator set is designed for single side service. When viewed from the
rear, the left hand side is the service side and should be exposed for easy access for
maintenance.

Install the base board (Item 1) in the vessel in as near a level attitude as possible.

Observe the arrow symbol on the board’s topside surface; this indicates the top and
forward end orientation of the generator set/sound shield. Ensure that this arrow is
correctly positioned or the unit will not mount correctly within the sound shield. Install
toe bracket (item 21) to each corner of the base board to the pre-drilled holes. Use
screws (item 20) to secure to base board. See fi gure 1.

4

Use the larger thu-holes near the center of the board as a template to drill your base
mounting bolt holes into your fl oor or deck.

Place the generator set onto the baseboard, lining up the thru-holes with the mount­ing holes in the genset base frame and secure the set to the base.
