2 INSTALLATION
Figure 4: Schematic installation diagram
2.1
GENERAL
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.
2.2
LOCATION
When looking for a proper place for a generator in a vehicle
all relevant aspects have to be taken into account
•
Accessibility
•
Solid foundation
•
Space to mount the radiators (Refer to par. 2.5.2)
•
Space to mount the exhaust (Refer to par. 2.5.3)
•
A way to fit the fuel lines
Since WhisperPower generator 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.
All models can be serviced from one side. Oil filling can be
done on the service side and on the top (except for W-SQ-
PRO 18/15.5 that has the oil filler cap only on top). Cooling
liquid can be filled via the expansion tanks.
The top of the engine (rocker cover) has to be accessible
for adjustment of the valve clearance.

Please also note that in spite of the automatic oil pressure
sensor it is still essential that the oil level is checked
regularly.
2.3
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPTIMAL SOUND AND
VIBRATION INSULATION
Position the generating set as low as possible in the vehicle.
The generating set is secured to the base frame by means
of flexible engine mountings. This frame is mounted in the
vehicle with additional vibration dampers.
When it is possible to mount the unit directly on the chassis
of the vehicle this has advantages in preventing vibrations
by resonance.
2.3.1
Further recommendations
Whisper generating sets are standard equipped with a
sound cover. This sound cover 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 placed to be stiff. Directly below the rubber
mountings the structure should be supported vertically
to the chassis of the vehicle.
2
In larger mobile/land applications a separate and
insulated space for the generator will help to damp the
noise even further
3
Avoid mounting the generating set in close proximity to
thin walls or floors that may cause resonance.
