ACCESS TO SET
Generally, at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance
should be provided on all sides of the generator set
for maintenance and service access. A raised
foundation or slab of 150 mm (6 inches) or more
above floor level will make servicing easier.
Lighting should be adequate for operation, mainte-

 VENTILATION AND COOLING

Generator sets create considerable heat that must

be removed by proper ventilation. Outdoor installa-

door installations need properly sized and posi-
tioned vents for required airflow. PREVAILING WINDS PREVAILING WINDS

Vents and Ducts

For indoor installations, locate vents so incoming air

passes through the immediate area of the installa-
tion before exhausting. Install the air outlet higher
than the air inlet to allow for convection air move-

Size the vents and ducts so they are large enough to

allow the required flow rate of air. The ”free area” of
ducts must be as large as the exposed area of the
radiator. Refer to the genset Data Sheet for the air-

8. Installation Checklist

GENERAL
 Generator set wattage capacity is sufficient to handle maximum anticipated load.
 At least 3 feet of clearance (or greater for housing door) is provided around entire generator set for servic-
ing and ventilation.
 Generator set is located in an area not subject to flooding.
 All operating personnel have read and are familiar with Operator’s Manual.
 All operators have been thoroughly briefed on preventive maintenance procedures.
 All operators have read and understand all Important Safety Instructions in Operator’s Manual.
GENERATOR SET SUPPORT
 Floor, roof or earth on which the generator set rests is strong enough and will not allow shifting or move-
ment. Observe local codes on soil bearing capacity due to freezing and thawing.
 Generator set is properly supported and retained to approved base.
 Supporting base is large enough and is of non-combustible material – extends 6-inches all around set.
COOLING AIR FLOW
 Generator set air inlet is faced into direction of strongest, prevailing winds.
 Air inlet openings are unrestricted and at least 1–1/2 times larger than air outlet area.
 Cooling air outlet is on downwind side of building (if not, wind barrier is constructed).
 Proper ducting material (sheet metal, canvas) is used between radiator and air outlet.

DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM

 Fuel tanks meet or exceed all Local, State or National codes.
 Fuel lines are properly installed, supported and protected against damage.
 Approved flexible fuel line is installed between main fuel supply line and generator set’s fuel system, near
the generator set, to protect the fuel system from damage caused by vibration, expansion and contrac-
tion.
 Strainer or fuel screen (100 to 120 mesh) is installed in the fuel supply line to protect the fuel lift pump, day
tank transfer pump or float valve seat from fuel supply tank debris.
 Fuel supply line shutoff valves are installed to prevent fuel flow in case of leaks.
 No shutoff valves are installed on engine fuel return line.
 External fuel pumps are connected and operational at all times (generator set started or shut down).
 Fuel system is properly primed.
 No fuel leaks are found in supply line or engine fuel system.

Redistribution or publication of this document,

by any means, is strictly prohibited.
8-1
 EXHAUST SYSTEM
 Operators are thoroughly briefed on the dangers of carbon monoxide gas.
 Areas around set are well ventilated. No possibility of exhaust fumes entering building doors, windows, or
intake fans.
 Exhaust gases are piped safely outside and away from building.
 The correct length of approved rigid pipe is connected to the generator set flexible pipe using approved
securing methods with no weight resting on engine exhaust components. There are no bends in flex sec-
tion.
 Condensation drain is provided in lowest section of exhaust piping.
 Exhaust piping is insulated to guard against burns to personnel.
 Exhaust piping passing through walls or ceilings have approved fire-proof materials and are in com-
pliance with all codes.
 Exhaust piping is large enough in diameter to prevent excessive back pressure on engine.
AC AND DC WIRING
 Wire sizes, insulation, conduits and connection methods all meet applicable codes.
 AC and DC wires are separated in their own conduit to prevent electrical induction.
 All load, line and generator connections are proper and correct.
 Flexible conduit between generator set and building or surrounding structure.

GENERATOR SET PRESTART

 Generator set engine is properly serviced with oil and coolant.
 Batteries are properly installed, serviced and charged.
 Battery charger and engine coolant heater are connected and operational.
 All generator set covers and safety shields are installed properly.
 All fuel and coolant shutoff valves are operational.
