Lnstanation; Rigging And Lifting; Location And Mounting - Westerbeke 3.5 SBCG Operator's Manual

INSTALLATION
RIGGING AND LIFTING
The engine/generator is fitted with lifting eyes. Attach
wire rope or chain slings capable of supporting the
engine/generators weight to the eyes and lift the engine/gen-
erator by means of tackle attached to these slings. The lifting
eyes have been designed to carry the full weight: auxiliary
slings are not necessary.
NOTE:
Rigging work is best done by someone experienced
and competent in handling machinery.
LOCATION AND MOUNTING
A solid, level mounting platform is very important for the
proper operation of your generator. Select a location that will
allow adequate space on all sides for ventilation and servic-
ing. Locate the generator away from living quarters, and
away from bilge splash and vapors.
Refer to WESTERBEKE'S installation manual for detailed
information on installing a Marine Generator in a boat.
