4-3. INSTALLATION.
a.
General. The generator set should
be installed on a level site, clear of
obstacles, and with ample
ventilation. Site must be within 100
feet (30 m) of any generator set to
be paralleled with, and 24 feet (7.3
m) of any auxiliary fuel supply, and
1000 feet (300 m) of any remote
control area. Refer to intermediate
(Field) (Direct and General Support)
and Depot Maintenance Manual,
Chapter 17, for general installation
practices.
b.
Outdoor Installation. When preparing for
a permanent installation, be sure that the
base is solid enough to support the weight
of the unit. See figure 4-6 for dimensions
of the generator set. Select a location
where there will be sufficient space on all
sides for service and operation for the
engine generator set. When preparing a
temporary 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.
