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, flat 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 flex.

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 figure 1.

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