Mounting

Fixed Foundation

Use mounting holes in the base frame to fasten unit to

foundation. Always use hardware of a suitable grade,

size, and style.

Connections

All electrical connections must have flexible sections to

isolate vibration if they connect to the unit base rails. Cor-

rectly support and secure all piping

before installing the

flexible connection.

The surface beneath and beyond the engine and the oil

con

tainment system must be noncombustible to a mini-

mum distance of 12 in (300 mm).

Placement on Roofs, Platforms, and

Other Supporting Structures

Where required to place generator on a roof, platform,

deck, or other supporting structure and an oil contain-

ment system consisting of a curb or dike shall be pro-

vided in accordance with the requirements in NFPA 37

cha

pter 4.1.3 and chapter 6. Contact local building

inspection department or fire department to determine

which noncombustible materials are approved for instal-

lation.
