b. Outdoor Installation. When preparing for a per-
manent installation, be sure the base is solid enough to
support the weight of the unit. See figure 1-4 for dimen-
sions of the bas. Seclect a location where there will be
sufficient space on all sides for servicing and operation
of the engine Generator Set. When preparing a tem-
porary installation, move the engine Generator Set as
close to the worksite as practical. Use suitable planks,
logs, or other material for a base in an area where the
ground is soft.
