GENERATING SET MOUNTING
All generating sets must be mounted on Anti-Vibration
Mountings (AVM) at some point between the engine feet
and the vessels seating.
IMPORTANT!
Keep flexible mounts free from diesel fuel,
engine coolant & lubrication oil to prevent
deterioration.

Anti-Vibration Mount (AVM)
IMPORTANT!
• The seating in the vessel should be level in
all planes so that the generating set can be
bolted down without stress or distortion.
• On open BetaSets (image 11) the anti-
vibration mounts will bolt directly to
the vessels seating. Shim between the
underside of the mount and vessels seating
so that each mount is equally compressed.
It is important that the vessels seating is
substantial and rigid otherwise the efficiency
of the anti-vibration mountings will be
compromised.
• On open BetaSets with base frames
(image 12a) depending on installation
requirements, the anti-vibration mounts may
be positioned either between the generating
set feet and base frame or between the
vessels seating and base frame should the
generating set be rigidly bolted to the base
frame.
• On enclosed BetaGens (image 12b) the anti-
vibration mounts are mounted between the
generating set and the acoustic housing
frame which in turn is then secured directly
to the vessels seating via the housing base.
