WARNING
Lifting the Pad
See the weight listed under Specifications. Use a cart,

lifting it.
Installation Procedure
Note: Refer to the generator Installation Manual for
important clearance information and location
requirements before installing the generator
mounting pad.
1. Select a level area to mount the generator set.
Compress the soil if it is loose.
2. Set the mounting pad in place. Position the curved
edge of the pad to align with the front of the
generator set and to face away from adjacent
buildings. Check that the pad is level and that the
generator service panels will be accessible.
3. Follow the precautions in the generator installation
manual when lifting the generator into place. Place
the generator set on the mounting pad with the
mounting holes aligned with the inserts on the pad.
Note: If necessary, use a 7/16 inch drill to carefully
enlarge the holes in the base of the
generator set. Use extreme care to avoid
damaging the base.
4. Use four 3/8--16 x 1 1/4 inch screws to secure the
generator to the mounting pad.
5. Refer to the generator Installation Manual for
further generator set installation instructions.
