INSTALLATION
General Information
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
Before proceeding with the installation, be sure the
operation selector switch is in the stop position.
These engine/generator sets are designed to be
mounted on a concrete pad outdoors only. The transfer
switch is mounted next to your electrical entrance or
distribution panel inside the building. Consult a quali-
fied, licensed electrician or contractor to install and wire
the transfer switch. The installation must comply with all
national, state and local codes.
***** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - The PSS20000 must be
mounted on a full length solid concrete pad to prevent air
from exiting under the unit. Allowing air to exit under the
unit may cause the unit to overheat from lack of proper
air flow.
Before beginning the installation process recheck the
rating of the generator set and its transfer switch rating.
Be certain they can handle the intended load and are
compatible with the entrance voltage, phase and current
ratings. Plans for installation should be prepared with
proper attention to mechanical and electrical engineering
detail to assure a satisfactory system installation. The
information in this manual is offered only as a guide to
finalizing your installation plans.
ENGINE GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
The unit’s main frame should be bolted solid to a four to
six inch thick cement pad. The engine-generator is
mounted on a sub-frame which is isolated with special
shock mounts on the main frame. This allows the
engine-generator to vibrate without affecting the control
panel on the main frame.
Do not install any shock mounts between the base
frame and the concrete pad. Engine vibration will be
transmitted to the control panel causing erroneous start/
stop cycles and premature control failure.
The unit should be mounted to allow for ample working
room around it. A general rule to follow is three (3) feet
clearance on all sides. Particular attention should be
paid to the direction of the hot air discharge and exhaust
discharge. Unit location should be such that these
discharges are not allowed to be drawn back in through
an open window or door.
FUEL INSTALLATION
The fuel supply should be as close as possible to the
engine. This will reduce the installation cost of fuel runs.
The information in this manual is offered to assist you in
providing the proper fuel for your engine. However, this
information is only provided to inform you of the engine’s
requirements and assist in making you aware of the
decisions you must make. In no case should the
instructions or information provided be interpreted to
conflict with any local, state or national codes. If in doubt,
always consult your local fire marshal or gas supplier.
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
FIRE HAZARD - All fuel runs should be installed by a
licensed fuel supplier.
Connect the fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel solenoid
(see table for recommended line size). For all vapor fuel
systems the delivery pressure of the fuel to the fuel
solenoid on the unit must be four to six ounces psi (per
square inch) or 7 to 11 inches W.C. (Water column).
PSS20000 equipped with liquid withdrawal kits must be
connected to the liquid withdraw valve on the tank. Full
tank pressure must be delivered to the 3/8” fuel fitting on
the fuel lock strainer at the generator. These fuel
pressures are critical, failure to provide the proper fuel
pressure can cause many problems ranging from a unit
that will not start to causing damage to the fuel system.
INSTALLING THE FUEL LINE
** NOTICE **
The engine generator sets are properly adjusted before
they leave the factory. A tag is attached to the unit that
specifies the fuel, natural gas (NG) or propane vapor (LP)
