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.
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.
To be able to lift the generator by means of a forklift,
rectangular slots are provided at the bottom of the
frame.

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 recirculated.
For more information about indoor
!
installation, consult your local Atlas
Copco dealer.
3.2.2

Outdoor installation

– Place the generator on a horizontal, even and solid
floor.
– 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
recirculation of exhaust air from the engine. This
causes overheating and engine power decrease.
