3.3 Mounting

Typical mounting surface details and dimensions are shown in Figure 3-1. The recommended mounting surface is a concrete mounting pad. This must be a level surface as shown in Figure 3-2, or raised pads as shown in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4.

The advantage of the arrangement shown in Figure 3-3 is that the engine oil can be drained more conveniently. An oil drain piped to the side of the mounting base is usually available as an accessory from the manufacturer. If there is not sufficient clearance below the oil outlet for a pan large enough to hold the full engine oil capacity, it will be necessary to use a pump whenever oil is changed.

The double-pedestal arrangement shown in Figure 3-4 has the advantage of providing more working room under the engine without raising the engine or generator set off its mountings. With either arrangement, the mounting pad should extend six inches (15 cm) beyond the mounting base dimensions. When using the double-pedestal arrangement, the pedestals should extend at least six inches (15 cm) back from the location of the front engine mount and six inches (15 cm) toward the engine from the generator mounting point. A minimum of 18 inches (46 cm) between the generator and any adjacent walls or other obstructions should be maintained for ease of servicing.
