2.1 GENERAL
To ensure reliability and durability of the equipment, it is
very important that the installation is carried out with the
utmost care and attention. To avoid problems, such as
temperature problems, noise levels, vibration, etc. the
instructions set out in this manual must be followed and all
installation work must be carried out professionally.
2.2 LOCATION
When looking for a proper place for a generator in a
vehicle all relevant aspects have to be taken into account
• Accessibility
• Solid foundation
• Space to mount the radiators (Refer to par. 2.5.2)
• Space to mount the exhaust (Refer to par. 2.5.3)
• A way to fit the fuel lines
Since Whisper generating sets have extremely compact
dimensions, they can be installed in tight locations. Please
consider that even almost maintenance-free machinery
must still remain accessible.
When selecting the location area in which to mount the
generating set, make sure there is sufficient room to carry
out any maintenance work. The unit must be easily
accessible on the service side and on the distribution side
to have access to the V-belt.
All models can be serviced from one side. Oil filling can be
done on the service side and on the top. Cooling liquid can
be filled via the expansion tanks.
The top of the engine (rocker cover) has to be accessible
for adjustment of the valve clearance.
Please also note that in spite of the automatic oil pressure
sensor it is still essential that the oil level is checked
regularly.
