Section 3 Foundations & Mounting
�,relnerator you ffid Neffi-slff
Install the generator set on a concrete pad or base slab able to support its weight and accessories. A proper foundation
is needed to resis - y am iWea_dingdgd,jedU transmitted ors Wa atio he exact composition of the mounting
pad must follow �tameermcnp,�„ urtredt aadrnaran avlrcation. Securely fasten the genera-
tor set to the foundation using suitable grade, size and style fasteners. Holes are provided in the base frame for
this purpose. a
3.1.1— Concrete Pad
Follow all federal, state, and local codes when designing a concrete pad or base slab.
Seat the concrete pad on a prepared solid subsurface and use appropriate reinforcing bar or expanded wire mesh. A
common specification calls for 2500 psi concrete reinforced with 8 gauge wire mesh or number 6 reinforcing bars on six
(6) inch centers.
3.1.2— Dimensions
Extend the concrete pad beyond the rame oft nit ea t six 6 inches. his provides a mounting surface for fuel
line support, as well as space for maintenance and repair.
The base pad must be:
• Capable of supporting 125% of the unit wet weight for single unit applications.
• Flat and level to within 1/2 inch.
• Capable of withstanding severe torque reactions.
To calculate the depth of the concrete pad, the following formula may be used:
W
Depth of Base
150XBXL
W = Total wet weight of generator set in pounds (kg)
150 = Density of the concrete (pounds per cubic foot)
2400 = Density of concrete (kilograms per cubic foot)
B = Foundation width in feet (meters)
L = Foundation length in feet (meters)
Suggested mixture of concrete (by volume) is 1:2:3 of cement, sand, and aggregate with a maximum four inch
(100mm) slump with a 28 day compression strength of 3000 psi (200 MPa).
OA-3= Unit'Clearance 1
Verify that the site provides easy access to the generator set for maintenance, repair, and firefighting purposes. Keep a
minimum of - eet of clearance around each side of the generator set to facilitate service or maintenance.
3.1.4— Stub Up Area
For load conduit, auxiliary power conduit (high voltage), and control wiring conduit (low voltage), see the installation
drawings for the location and dimensions of the stub up areas. See Figure 3-1.

3.2 — Mounting
3.2.1— Fixed Foundation
Use mounting holes in the base frame to fasten the unit to the foundation. Always use hardware of a suitable grade,
size and style.
3.2.2— Connections
All electrical connections must have flexible sections where they connect to the unit to isolate vibration. Properly sup-
port and secure all piping before installing the flexible connection.
3.2.3— Combustible Floor and Roof Protection
If the generator set must be installed on any combustible floor or roof, comply with the following rules:
• Place a layer of non-combustible insulation, followed by a layer of sheet metal, beneath the unit's mounting base
rails.
• Both the layer of insulation and the sheet metal must extend beyond the engine -generator base, to a distance of
at least six (6) inches (15.25cm) on all sides. See Figure 3-2.
For rooftop or building structure mounting, it is recommended that spring isolators be installed between the engine
frame and the mounting system. A minimum of 6 isolators are required and must be located at the front and rear cross
members and center of the frame.
