Mounting
Fixed Foundation
Use mounting holes in the base frame to fasten unit to
foundation. Always use hardware of a suitable grade,
size, and style.
Connections
All electrical connections must have flexible sections to
isolate vibration if they connect to the unit base rails. Cor-
rectly support and secure all piping before installing the
flexible connection.
The surface beneath and beyond the engine and the oil
containment system must be noncombustible to a mini-
mum distance of 12 in (300 mm).
