3.2
INSTALLATION OF PORTABLE UNITS
Portable units are defined as those moved to different work sites at least twice yearly.
3.2.1
PLACEMENT
This type of unit must be installed in well ventilated areas in order to ensure sufficient
flow of coolant air and preventing combustion smoke from sitting in the Engine's
exhaust.
The unit must be placed in a location that can safely bear the full weight of the
generator unit and guarantee its stability both horizontally and vertically.
It should always remain at a distance that allows access to the interior of the
Electrical Generator (at least 1 meter away from any building or wall).
Avoid installing in areas with moisture or locations where water could get into the
interior of the unit.
* Note: Exhaust can be supplied with optional spark arrester in the exhaust tube
3.2.2
FUEL
As diesel fuel is used, keep in mind the safety instructions previously mentioned in
point 2 - BASIC SAFETY RULES.
Before operating, check the fuel level to ensure that the tank has the amount needed
by the generator unit for an entire work day.
There is a optional of quick connectors for external fuel tank. We can connect them
with conductors through canopy fuel point for replenishing the generator base tank.
You should consider this series of points:
•
In order to connect or disconnect, you should move backwards the female
lock fitting.
•
Make sure that the external tank aspiration circuit does not contain air.
•
In the external tank, the aspiration connector should be male and the return
connector female, both are 3/8 BSP connectors.
•
Return should be correctly connected
•
Connectors have to be watertight; they lock when they are disconnected.
•
The distance between tank and genset has to be as shorter as possible. If you
observe engine anomalous behaviour (lack of power for aspiration problems),
you should have to reduce distance or increase the hose diameter.
