[PART 3 - EXECUTION]{.underline}

3.01 [INSTALLATION]{.underline}

A. Anchor generator set and other system components on concrete
housekeeping bases conforming to Division 3 Section \"Cast-in-Place
Concrete\" and as indicated. Provide anchorage according to
manufacturer\'s written instructions, unless otherwise indicated.

B. Maintain minimum workspace around components according to
manufacturer\'s Shop Drawings and National Electrical Code.

3.02 [IDENTIFICATION]{.underline}

A. Identify system components according to Division 15 Section
\"Mechanical Identification\" and Division 16 Section \"Electrical
Identification.\"

3.03 [FIELD QUALITY CONTROL]{.underline}

A. Manufacturer\'s Field Service: Provide services of a
factory-authorized service representative to supervise installation and
connection of unit and to report results in writing.

B. Supervised Adjusting and Pretesting: Under supervision of
factory-authorized service representative, pretest all system functions,
operations, and protective features. Provide all instruments and
equipment required for tests. Adjust to ensure operation is according to
Specifications. Load system using a variable resistive and reactive load
bank simulating kW, and power factor of loads for which unit is rated.

C. Tests: Engage an independent testing agency to perform tests on
completion of installation of system. Use instruments bearing records of
calibration within the last 12 months, traceable to National Institute
for Standards and Technology standards, and adequate for making positive
observation of test results. Include the following:

1\. InterNational Electrical Testing Association Tests: Perform each
visual and mechanical inspection and electrical and mechanical test
stated in InterNational Electrical Testing Association\'s NETA ATS for
emergency engine generator sets. Certify compliance with test
parameters.

2\. Battery Tests: Measure charging voltage and voltages between
available battery terminals for full-charging and float-charging
conditions. Check electrolyte level and specific gravity under both
conditions. Test for contact integrity of all connectors. Perform an
integrity load test and a capacity load test for the battery. Verify
acceptance of charge for each element of battery after discharge. Verify
measurements are within manufacturer\'s specifications.

3\. Battery-Charger Tests: Verify specified rates of charge for both
equalizing and float-charging conditions.

4\. System Integrity Tests: Methodically verify proper installation,
connection, and integrity of each element of engine generator system
before and during system operation. Check for air, exhaust, and fluid
leaks.

5\. Exhaust System Back-Pressure Test: Use a manometer with a scale
exceeding 40 inches (1000 mm) of water. Connect to exhaust line close to
engine exhaust manifold. Verify that back pressure at full-rated load is
within manufacturer\'s written allowable limits for the engine.

6\. Exhaust Emissions Test: Conform to applicable government test
criteria.

7\. Voltage and Frequency Transient Stability Tests: Use recording
oscilloscope to measure voltage and frequency transients for 50 and 100
percent step-load increases and decreases and verify that performance is
as specified.

8\. Harmonic-Content Tests: Measure harmonic content of output voltage
under 25 percent and at 100 percent of rated linear load. Verify that
harmonic content is within specified limits.

D. Retest: Correct deficiencies identified by tests and observations and
retest until specified requirements are met.

3.04 [CLEANING]{.underline}

A. Upon completion of installation, inspect system components. Remove
paint splatters and other spots, dirt, and debris. Touch up scratches
and mars of finish to match original finish. Clean components internally
using methods and materials recommended by manufacturer.

3.05 [DEMONSTRATION]{.underline}

A. Training: Engage a factory-authorized service representative to
demonstrate adjustment, operation, and maintenance of system and to
train Owner\'s maintenance personnel as specified below.
