To ensure reliability and durability of the equipment, it is
very important that the installation is carried out with the
utmost care and attention. To avoid problems, such as
temperature problems, noise levels, vibration, etc. the
instructions set out in this manual must be followed and all
installation work must be carried out professionally.
1.2
LOCATION
Since WhisperPower generating sets have extremely
compact dimensions, they can be installed in tight
locations. Please consider that even almost maintenance-
free machinery must still remain accessible.
When selecting the location area in which to mount the
generating set, make sure there is sufficient room to carry
out any maintenance work. The unit must be easily
accessible on the service side and on the distribution side
to have access to the V-belt.
Please also note that in spite of the automatic oil pressure
sensor it is still essential that the oil level is checked
regularly.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPTIMAL SOUND
AND VIBRATION INSULATION
Position the generating set as low as possible in the
vessel. As the generating set is already secured to the
base frame by means of flexible engine mountings, the
frame must be mounted directly, without additional
vibration dampers, to the vessel's main structure. Use the
included mounting template to determine the mounting
spots.
WhisperPower generating sets are standard equipped with
a sound cover. The canopy has been designed to give
effective sound insulation. For optimum sound and
vibration dampening, the following factors should be
considered.
1
Most important is the structure on which the generator
is places to be stiff. Directly below the rubber
mountings the structure should be supported vertically
to the superstructure of the ship.
2
Avoid mounting the generating set in close proximity
to thin walls or floors that may cause resonance.
3
Sound dampening is extremely poor if the generating
set is mounted on a light weight flimsy surface such
as plywood which will only amplify vibrations. If
mounting on a thinner surface cannot be avoided, this
should be at least be reinforced with stiffening struts
or ribbing. If possible, holes should be drilled or cut
through the surface to help reduce the resonance.
Covering the surrounding walls and floors with a
heavy coating plus foam will certainly improve the
situation.
4
Never connect the base of the generating set directly
to bulkheads or tanks.
