Unpacking When unpacking the generator and the engine Remove the boards carefully, as they will be required for Making a mould for the concrete block Foundation The plant will give the results if it is set up on a firm foundation - a block of concrete is the best. The plant can also be bolted to an existing concrete floor, and in this case four holes are punched into the floor with a cold chissel to correspond with the foundation holes in the base. The foundation bolts supplied with the engine, are set in position in the holes and the base fitted over them. Put nuts on the holes and after leveling the base, fill the holes with a mixture of 50 - 50 sand and cement. Allow the mixture to set for 24 hours and then fit the engine and generator as set out under " Assembling Plant" |

To Make a Concrete Block If a concrete base is made construct a rectangular wooden form from the timber of the case, making the inside dimensions 4ft. 0ins x 1ft. 6ins high. Decide on the most convenient position for the unit, making allowance for the batteries to be erected as near as possible to the generator. Sink a hole 12 inches deep in the ground to the same dimensions as the inside of the mould Nail two long pieces of 2 inch timber across the top of the mould, and sit the base on top of them. With a spirit level on top of the base check it for level. If necessary pack under one edge of the mould to make it level |
