Visual Inspection
Before going to site please ensure unit is complete and free from shipping
damage. Unit should come as pictured below:
Please ensure all accessories are included as shown in picture below
(including hoses):
Once this is done unit can then be shipped direct to site for installation. Once
there please complete this inspection again before commencing work.

Unpacking the Crate
Please take care when unpacking generator as not to damage unit and
controller. Please note: use suitable size tools and equipment to ensure the
unit is not damaged. On completion the unit should look like this or similar.
When removing generator from base please use correct lifting eye or correct
lifting pockets to ensure unit is removed safely. Also please give unit a quick
visual inspection to ensure no obvious sign of damage to unit.
6
Exhaust System
Please remove the U bolts nuts from end of exhaust located at the radiator
end.
Remove the metal insert from the end of the flexible exhaust and slide in the
exhaust pipe end to ensure the 45 degree angle is facing down to stop water
penetration into the system. Tighten up U bolts ensuring the flexible exhaust
is not crushed and tightly holding on to the inserted exhaust pipe.

Positioning Of the Generator
When considering where to position generator please ensure genset is
located away from flammable materials.
Have easy access all round to enable work to be carried out easily in the
future (for maintenance).
Also note that the wall of the building needs a hole cut in it to ensure venting
of the radiator. This hole needs to be slightly larger than the radiator and the
cowling mounted on the inside wall. The genset can then be fitted into the
cowling to ensure hot air is released out of the building. Please also ensure
vermin trap (wire mesh is fitted to outside of building).
Also note the exhaust has been mounted along the top of the radiator to vent
all the hot exhaust gases out of the room. Please drill a hole capable of
putting the exhaust through. Ensure exhaust is facing down to stop water
from getting into the engine i.e. 45 degree angle is facing down.
Please ensure all holes in the wall are sealed around the edges and the
sealing material is heat retardant, especially around the exhaust system hole.
Once final position of the unit has been decided place the vibration pads
underneath the skid as shown below:
Also ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to ensure air flow. In an
ideal situation this would be cross ventilation to enable engine to breathe.
The generator room needs to be kept clean and tidy, be free from heavy dirt
and dust to ensure a long life span of the electronic components fitted to the
unit.
