4.0 LIFTING AND HANDLING GENERATOR
When lifting a generator without a mounting frame , the generator should only be lifted from the
bottom. The generator should never be lifted by the housing. A solid surface, a pair of forks, or a pair of
straps can be placed underneath the generator to properly lift from the bottom. Care should be taken to
ensure that the generator is held horizontally during handling and is not tipped which could spill oil. Care
should also be taken to ensure that no fork or strap contacts the exhaust outlet on the bottom of the
generator, as this contact during lifting/moving could bend or break connections in the muffler and
exhaust system. Further care should be taken during handling to ensure that fuel/LP lines are not
pinched or crushed.
When lifting a generator with a mounting frame , the generator can be lifted either by A) the upper
frame where the mounting holes are located or (B) from the bottom.
