2.4 Before Installation
Before beginning the installation of the generator set, verify that the unit was
correctly selected. Check the following features:
• Model
• Specifications
• Options
• Fuel Supply
◦ The gas supplied to the generator set must be of acceptable quality.
◦ The gas supply must have sufficient pressure. Care must be taken to be
sure that the gas supply at the generator set, not just at the source, is of
proper pressure for operation. The specified pressure must be available
while the generator set is starting and running at full load.
◦ The gas must be supplied to the generator set in sufficient volume to
support operation of the generator set. This is normally a matter of
selecting fuel line size to be large enough to transport the volume of fuel
needed. For liquid propane vapor-withdrawal fuel systems the size and
temperature of the fuel tank also affects this requirement.
