Provide materials for inspection in accordance with the M.I.R.; proceed if accepted.
Verify that the Generator Room is prepared to receive the Generator Set by confirming with the Main Contractor.
Verify that there are no obstructions blocking the generator room’s entrance.
Following the manufacturer’s handling instructions, move the generator set into position.
Make sure the Generator Set is level and firmly installed.
In accordance with the manufacturer’s installation manual, install and connect the batteries.
In accordance with the manufacturer’s installation manual, connect all power wires.
In accordance with the manufacturer’s installation manual, connect all control cords to the generator set.
Determine the exhaust pipe’s route and check to make sure it is clear of any obstructions.
Install and fasten the exhaust pipe, primary silencer, and secondary silencer into position.
Make sure that all exhaust pipes are directed away from the generator by a downward slope.
Determine where the day tank is located and make sure it is free from any obstructions.
The day tank should be put in place and leveled.
All pipework, including the fuel supply line, venting pipe, overflow pipe, draining/dumping pipe, and fuel line, should be connected.
Connect the control cables to the three position float switch at the control panel and the tank for everyday use.
BMS wire should be connected to the Generator Set’s connector.
Use 25x3mm copper earth tape to connect the generator set to the closest Earth bar.
Training
Tradespeople who will be used to carry out the outlined work must be qualified to do so and be under the supervision of a supplier/manufacturer representative.
The Quality Departments may require that particular teams or individuals receive further training if they are judged required.
General instruction and awareness for each task, as well as information on Health & Safety issues and precautions, will be provided by toolbox lectures.
