5-30 ACOUSTIC SUPPRESSION KIT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL.
Do not use hoisting equipment with maximum capacity less than 5,000
pounds. Do not allow generator set to awing while suspended. Do not allow
personnel under generator set or components of acoustic suppression kit
when hoisted or lifted. Death or severe injury may result.
a.
Prepare generator set for installation of acoustic suppression kit.
Do not allow components with rubber seals to slide on surfaces. Damage
to rubber seals will result. Equipment damage could result if caution is not
observed.
Use a minimum bridle of 5 feet on the hoisting sling to avoid undue side
pressure on the lifting frame. Equipment damage could result if caution is
not observed.
NOTE
If generator set is trailer-mounted, generator set must be removed from trailer, and rub-
ber issolaters supplied with kit placed between the generator set and trailer mounting
surface. When installing the generator set, attach anti-rotation dip, and attach the
mounting bolts. Blots should be torqued to 5 ft-lb (6.80 N•m) and jam nuts installed.
(Jam nuts are common hardware items.) Once the acoustics suppression kit is installed,
gen set will require 1 inch ground clearance. Do not skid gen set with acoustic suppres-
sion kit installed. Do not forflift unless both side panel skirts are in the raised position.
If generator set is trailer-mounted, the trailer brackets supplied with kit must be
installed. The brackets allow for the extended length when the acoustic suppression
