2. After inspecting the engine-generator for external, physical damage,
locate and check the following items packed with the unit:
a. Installation and Operator’s Manual.
b. Engine manufacturer’s instruction manual.
c. Battery hold-down brackets & hardware.
d. Unit components or accessory items shipped loose for on-site
installation.
e. Optional accessories.
3. Remove main frame hold-down bolts.

LIFTING THE GENERATOR SET
NOTICE: PERSONAL INJURY:
To prevent injury to persons or equipment, observe the following
guidelines when lifting the generator:
Duetothedifferentdesigns,congurations,options,weights,site
conditions,andavailablematerialhandlingequipment,speciclifting
instructions are not provided for each individual generator set model.
General guidelines provided are applicable to the entire generator
line. It is the responsibility of the installing party to follow the lifting
equipment’s operator’s manual to prevent injury to personnel and
damage to the generator. Smaller generator sets may not require use
of overhead lifting equipment and may be placed on the pad with basic
material handling equipment, i.e. a forklift.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to lift the generator set by the means of the lifting eyes
on the engine or generator end. These lifting points are only for the use
during the manufacturing process and are designed for lifting of the
individual generator set components.
WARNING:
NEVER attempt to lift the fuel tank lled with fuel. Sloshing of the
fuel can cause a shift in the balance of the fuel tank, making for a
DANGEROUS, unbalanced lifting load. If the generator was shipped on
the fuel tank, use the lifting points located on the fuel tank to move the
entire generator set into place. DO NOT PLACE FUEL IN THE TANK
PRIOR TO LIFTING.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY:
Before proceeding with the installation, be sure the engine control is
in the “stop” position. Also, be sure the generator MLCB (main line
circuit breaker) in is the “off” position and the unit starting battery is
disconnected.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This engine-generator set is designed and built as an open power unit,
meaning no weather protection has been provided. This unit must be
installed inside of an enclosure that will provide proper protection from
the elements and ventilation.
Before beginning the installation process, recheck the voltage, phase,
and amperage rating of the generator set. Be certain it can handle the
intended load and are compatible with the intended loads. Plans for
installation should be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and
electrical engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system installation.
The installation must comply with all national, state, and local codes.

ENGINE GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
The unit’s main frame must be bolted solidly to a solid base. The en-
gine-generator is mounted on channels which are attached with special
shock mounts to the main frame. This allows the engine-generator free
movement without affecting the base or surrounding equipment.
WARNING: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Never mount these engine-generator sets to a wooden base/structure.
Over time, the wood will deteriorate and the unit mountings will come
loose. These units must be mounted to a steel or concrete base.
The unit should be mounted to allow ample working room around it.
A general rule to follow is to allow 24 inches or more of clearance
for maintenance. Follow local codes for clearance from combustible
surfaces.
