2 INSTALLATION

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.

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 di-
mensions, 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 generat-
ing set, make sure there is sufficient room to carry out any main-
tenance 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.

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
M ost 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 chas-
sis of the vehicle.
2
I n larger vehicles a separate and insulated space for the
generator will help to damp the noise even further
3
A void mounting the generating set in close proximity to
thin walls or floors that may cause resonance.
4
S ound dampening is extremely poor if the generating set
is mounted on a light weight flimsy surface such as ply-
wood which will only amplify vibrations. If mounting on
a thinner surface cannot be avoided, this should 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.
5
N ever connect the base of the generating set directly to
walls or tanks.
