4. Installation
A diesel generator is a high-speed piece of rotating equipment. To ensure reliability and safety the installation must be given thorough attention. Before installing the unit, we must consider all environmental factors. Generator installation must comply with local building codes, fire regulations and environmental requirements. Use these instructions as a general guide only, the complete installation must comply with all local, state, and federal building codes, fire ordinances, and any other applicable regulations.
1. The genset room cannot be used for storage. 2. Because of the fuel used the genset room must be consdered as a key target area for fire prevention. 3. The generator must be treated as a high-temperature device, exhaust pipe temperatures can reach 500C.

PAGE-36
DESCRIPTION
When designing the base, we need to pay specific attention to the following: The generator base must be isolated from the building foundation. Depth and width to meet the basic requirements. Foundation must be strong enough to take the impact and running force of the machine. Ensure that no vibration is transmitted to the building foundation when the unit starts. Ease of maintenance and servicability operations. When calculating the length L and width B of the base allow an additional 100-300mm on each side. The base should be higher than engine room floor by 20-300mm.
Incorrect installation or service can result in severe personal injury or death, and/or equipment damage. Only qualified service personnel should be allowed to perform electrical and mechanical component installation.
Mounting the Generator The generator is mounted on a steel-base tank that provides adequate support. Vibration isolators are recommended between the base tank and the foundation to provide stable operation and avoid installation damage. Bolting the generator directly to the floor or foundation can result in excessive noise and vibration, and possible damage to the generator and floor foundation. Mount the generator on a substantial and level base such as a concrete pad. Use 20mm anchored mounting bolts to secure the vibration isolators to the base tank using flat or bevel washers and a hexagonal nut for each bolt. The isolators should be located as shown on the generator outline drawing.
Never install the genset near combustible materials. Locate the genset such that combustible material can not accumulate under the machine. The possibility exists of fire or explosion, causing damage to the equipment and or severe bodily harm or even death!
PAGE-37
Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside confined spaces and enclosed areas. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements. Engine exhaust must be routed to a ventilated area. The canopy is designed to provide cooling and ventilation for the generator. Several factors should be carefully considered when selecting a location for installation. For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a hard, flat, non-combustible, level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation. The installation area should be well ventilated. Drainage must be adequate to ensure the concrete pad is free from standing water. Installation should prevent build-up of leaves, grass, sand, snow etc. Serviceable access should be provided to allow the opening or removal of access panels/doors for service and maintenance. Keep the generator at least one metre away from buildings and other structures.
CAUTION:
PAGE-38
PAGE-39
PAGE-40
Room Location A separate building located on the site away from the main building is the most desirable. Maintain the building at a satisfactory temperature Ensure the generator is installed in a way that it will not compromise reliability from any emergency loads.
WARNING: The floor foundation load-carrying capacity must be checked and must not exceed the weight of the generator and its associated equipment.
Note The generator can be used at temperatures between -15 to 50C, An ambient temperature that is outside these temperatures will cause damage to the equipment, when the temperature is too low, the metal will become very weak; when the temperature is too high, the engine temperature may rise to a point where damage is caused to the engine and other components such as piston rings. In order to protect the engine, when the ambient temperature is around 50C, or close to -15C, the equipment load must be reduced or engine life may be compromised.
PAGE-41
Fuel from the tank flows in the fuel lines and is injected from the nozzle via the fuel injection pump. Overflow fuel returns to the tank. The system includes filters to protect it from entrance of air, water and dust. While the engine is running, fuel is fed into the pump by the fuel feed pump after passing through the fuel filter where any foreign matter is removed. The fuel camshaft actuates the injection pump and force feeds fuel to the injection nozzle through the injection pipe. Fuel is then sprayed through the nozzle into the combustion chamber. The fuel discharged after lubricating and cooling the injection nozzle is returned to the fuel tank through the over-flow pipe. Base Tank Base mounted fuel tanks are used to store fuel directly underneath the Genset, eliminating the need for a remote main fuel supply tank and/or auxiliary fuel transfer pumps. This mounting arrangement offers the convenience of having a fuel supply tank mounted at the generator. These tanks are designed to be contained in a rectangular base on which the engine-generator set is mounted. Generally, these tanks only increase the height of the generator set since the tank base is usually matched to the generator skid dimension. Remote tank Remote tanks are used when the engine fuel pump does not have the capacity to draw the fuel from the base tank; or the base tank is overhead and presents problems of high fuel head pressure for the system. In high ambient conditions, the day tank temperature might need to be considered. Warm fuel returning from the engine fuel injection pump should not be returned to the day tank if possible. As fuel temperature increases, fuel density and viscosity decrease, reducing maximum power output and lubrication of fuel handling parts such as pumps and injectors. This may be avoided by returning the fuel back to the supply tank rather than the day tank. Engines need to maintain some of the oil pump pressure and return oil pressure when the engine is working. When using a remote fuel tank, the height difference between the pump
PAGE-42
and the fuel tank generates a differential pressure, the differential pressure will affect the work of the engine. When the fuel tank is above the pump, correct fuel return may become an issue, and the tubing will have to be able to withstand a positive pressure. If the differential pressure is too large, fuel leaks may become a concern. When the fuel tank is below the pump, the fuel supply may become an issue, and the tubing will have to be able to withstand a negative pressure. If the differential pressure is too large, fuel supply may become a concern. Fuel Filter and Fuel/Water Separator The fuel filter located between the tank and the injection pump prevents foreign matter from entering the injection pump. A standard filter uses a paper element (filtration diameter less than 15). Normally filter elements or cartridges must be changed every 400 hours. Air trapped in the filter is purged by the vent plug. Fuel-water separator is a device designed to separate gross amounts of fuel and suspended solids from the wastewater effluents of fuel refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industrial sources. Three-way valves Valves used to switch between the base tank and a remote tank. Normally, the three-way valves are open to the base tank. When a remote tank is used simply open both of the valves to allow connection to the remote tank. The figure shown below shows the three-way valves in the default location connected to the base tank.
4.7.2 Lubrication system All moving parts of the engine must be lubricated to function correctly. For this purpose, the lubricating oil circulating through the engine has a number of functions. In addition to reducing friction, the oil cools the engine, controls expansion and dispersion of bearing areas, provides a sealing action, prevents rusting, seals out dust, and purifies products generated in the cylinders by incomplete combustion.
PAGE-43
Warning Poor quality oil will shorten engine life. Use only the specified lubricating oils. Important points regarding lubricating oil are described below. CLASSIFICATION OF ENGINE OIL SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Standards are generally used to classify engine oil viscosities. Viscosity is a principal property of oil, the higher the viscosity, the thicker the oil film formed over the metal surface will be and the lower the viscosity, the thinner the film thickness becomes. Viscosity varies with temperature. The higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity and vice versa. Engine oil should have the appropriate viscosity and have properties which are not affected by viscosity changes caused by temperature changes. In other words, engine oil must have a high viscosity index. Multi grade oils having relatively low viscosity (For example SAE 10W-30) can provide superior lubrication at both low and high temperatures. Such oils are available commercially for all-season use. Oil viscosity changes in cold temperature as crystallization of the wax element contained in oil proceeds, and fluidity is finally lost. Incorrect selection of oil cannot only increase resistance for cold starting but also affect lubrication of each part. Oils for low temperature, containing additives for lowering the pour point, should be used. The following diagram shows how to select lubricants.
Note
The use of synthetic oil is not recommended.
PAGE-44
4.7.3 Exhaust system Exhaust system components installed on any genset must be approved and correctly installed to meet the codes and regulations required by local government. A muffler and spark arrester have been installed in your genset. If a generator is used in a forest, on brush or grass covered unimproved land it must be equipped with a Spark Arrestor. It is the responsibility of the generator owner or operator to maintain the entire exhaust system in good working condition. Engine exhaust must be routed away from building intake vents, windows, doorways and other openings. Because the exhaust discharge is in a vertical position it may be possible for raim water to enter the muffler. A drain valve has been provided at the base of the muffler to remove any unwanted water. This process must be completed whilst the engine is shut down, as it may cause injury. 4.7.4 Ventilation and cooling system As the generator produces a high volume of heat, ventilation and heat dissipation must be carefully considered. The generator has been specially designed to operate in ambient temperatures to 50C. If the generator is used outdoors, ensure that no objects (such as plastic bags, etc.) are allowed to block the air inlet. The engine exhaust temperature is extremely high, do not vent towards any objects that cannot withstand high temperatures. The machine is provided with cabinet filters that must be cleaned regularly. In dusty environments, the cabinet filters must be cleaned daily. Remove the cabinet filters as the follow steps: Loosen the philips head screw at the top of the grille, remove the limit stop, and then slide the air filter out. If the generator is used indoors, make sure that there is adequate ventilation to the air inlets and outlets, and that the engine's exhaust is ducted out of room.
PAGE-45
DANGER If the load exceeds the allowable amperage overheating may cause damage to cables. If the cables are too long, there will be excessive voltage drop. It may result in fire, personal injury, reduced performance or damage to machinery.
4.8.2 Connecting Load Cable The generator is ready for field connections. The cables should be connected to the Main wiring terminals which are located inside the field wiring cabinet.
WARNING: Before connection, the following precautionary measures must be taken Connection must only be carried out by a licensed electrician. Battery must be disconnected. The control power switch must be set to the OFF position.
PAGE-46
WARNING: If the terminal is not connected, it may result in injury or death. All the doors must be earthed. Main earth and earth spike should be installed and tested by a licensed electrician before running the generator.
WARNING: Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The battery may explode. Battery electrolyte solution is caustic and can cause severe burns and blindness. If electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, immediately flush the area with water and urgently seek medical attention.
PAGE-47
The ATS is controlled by the PLC module which can monitor the incoming AC mains supply. If the mains supply is satisfactory the load is run through the ATS and the generator will not run. On the contrary the generator will run if the mains power is abnormal. THE ATS LOCATION IS IMPORTANT, THE FOLLOWING MUST BE OBSERVED: The ATS should be located inside the building near the main switchboard. Locate the ATS in a clean, dry, well ventilated location, away from excessive heat. When the ambient air is above 40C (104F), fuses and circuit breakers must be de-rated. Allow adequate working space around the transfer switch. Never install control wires in the same conduit with mains wiring. ATS and all equipment must be installed in accordance with relevant local and national codes and regulations. If the ATS is mounted outside, it must be protected from the environment. Do not mount the ATS on the generator. Do not mount the ATS where flammable liquids or vapours are present.

5. Operation
5.1 General Pre-check Before Starting
Before starting the generator, check each item below: Check engine oil, fuel and coolant. Check for leakage at the hose connections.
WARNING: Do not use the machine when any leak is found. Repairs are to Be carried out by trained personnel and according to regulations.
Check to make sure there are no obstructions lodged in vents, near the radiator or around the cooling fan. Ensure that nothing is contacting the muffler or exhaust pipes. Check the generator is earthed and the earth spike is installed and tested as per local regulations. Make correct terminal connections. TEST accordingly. Check that all electrical connections were made in compliance with local regulations and standards. Make sure the fan belt and hoses on the engine have no loose connections or are fraying. Tighten or replace as required. Check the battery cables are firmly secured to the terminals. Tighten the clamps if necessary. Close and secure side panel access doors. Review and follow safety instructions at the front of this manual.
Warning: 1. Failure to follow the procedures listed in this manual may cause injury to personnel or damage to the generator. Ensure all persons setting up the generator are certified or fully trained on the installation of the generator. 2. Always wear protective gloves, clothes and other P.P.E. as required.

5.2 Checking Engine Oil, Fuel and Coolant Level Before Starting
5.2.1 Engine oil Ensure that the generator is on level ground before checking engine oil level. Install the oil dipstick all the way in. The appropriate level should be between the lower limit and upper limit on the dipstick. Add engine oil if the level is below the lower limit. Select the appropriate engine oil. Open the access door, remove oil cap. Add engine oil to bring oil level NO higher than FULL mark on the dipstick. Tighten the oil inlet cap and close the access door.
CAUTION: If the generator is not level when checking the engine oil, you cannot obtain an accurate oil level reading. Do not overfill the engine oil. The level cannot exceed the upper limit. An excessive amount of engine oil may damage the engine. Do not smoke and extinguish any naked flames before adding engine oil.

5.2.2 Fuel Remove the fuel inlet cap and check the fuel level in the tank. Adding Fuel: Select the correct fuel. Loosen the fuel inlet cap and remove it. Fill the fuel through the inlet until the fuel is slightly less than the full-tank level Tighten the fuel inlet cap.
CAUTION: 1. Do not smoke while you are refuelling an engine. 2. Do not refuel an engine near open flames or sparks. 3. Always stop the engine before refuelling.
5.2.3 Coolant Remove the radiator cap, check coolant level in the tank. Adding Coolant: Remove the coolant inlet cap. Remove the radiator cap. Fill coolant up to the radiator inlet top. Reinstall and tighten the coolant inlet and radiator caps.
WARNING: Avoid injury! The coolant will be hot and can burn skin. Built-up pressure may cause explosive release of coolant when the radiator cap is removed. Shut off engine and allow it to cool. Do not remove cap unless the radiator and the engine are cool to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen the cap to the first stop to release all pressure, then remove cap.
