3 Installation and connection
3.1 Lifting
The lifting eye, to lift the generator by means of a
hoist, is integrated in the bodywork and easily
accessible from the outside. The recesses in the roof
have guiding rods at both sides.
When lifting the generator, the hoist has to be placed
in such a way that the generator, which must be
placed level, will be lifted vertically.
To be able to lift the generator by means of a forklift,
forklift slots are provided at the bottom of the frame.
3.2 Installation
3.2.1 Indoor installation
If the generator is operated indoors, install an exhaust
pipe of sufficient diameter to duct the engine exhaust
towards the outside. Check for sufficient ventilation
so that the cooling air is not re-circulated.
3.2.2 Outdoor installation
– Place the generator on a horizontal, even and solid
floor. The generator can operate in a slant position
not exceeding 15% (in both senses: front/rear and
left/right).
– The generator should be kept with the doors
closed, in order to avoid the ingress of water and
dust. Dust ingress reduces the lifetime of filters
and may reduce your generator's performance.
– Check that the engine exhaust is not directed
towards people.
– Locate the rear end of the generator upwind, away
from contaminated wind streams and walls. Avoid
re-circulation of exhaust air from the engine. This
causes overheating and engine power decrease.
Never use the guiding rods to lift the
generator.
Lifting acceleration and deceleration
must be kept within safe limits (max.
2 g).
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
For more information about indoor
installation, consult your local Atlas
Copco dealer.
