UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
** NOTICE **
When unpacking the generator set, be sure to inspect it carefully
for freight loss or damage. If loss or damage is noted at the time
of delivery, require that the person making the delivery make note
of the loss or damage on the freight bill, or affix his signature
under the consignees’s memo of the loss or damage. Contact
the carrier for claim procedures.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery, segregate the
damaged material, and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
“Concealed Damage” is understood to mean damage to the
contents of a package which is not in evidence at the time of
delivery by the carrier, but which is discovered later. The carrier
or carriers are responsible for merchandise lost or damaged in
transit. The title to goods rests with the consignee when genera-
tors are shipped FOB factory, and only the consignee can legally
file a claim.
**** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - These units are shipped with oil, and a
50/50 mix of coolant. Be sure to check all fluid levels before
operating. See engine manufacturer’s instruction manual for
recommended oil requirements before initial starting.

INSTALLATION
General Information
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
PERSONAL INJURY - Before proceeding with the installation, be
sure the operation selector switch is in the "stop" position.
These engine generator sets are available as an unhoused, skid
mounted unit for indoor installation or a skid mounted unit with a
standard or accoustical housing for outdoor installation. All
versions of these units must be bolted solidly to a concrete pad.
The transfer switch is mounted next to your distribution panel
inside the building. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician or
contractor to install and wire the transfer switch. The installation
must comply with all national, state, and local codes.
***** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - These units must be mounted on a
solid concrete pad to prevent air from exiting under the unit.
Allowing air to exit under the unit may cause the unit to overheat
from lack of proper air flow.
Before beginning the installation process recheck the rating of
the generator set and its transfer switch rating. Be certain they
can handle the intended load and are compatible with the
entrance voltage, phase and current ratings. Plans for installation
should be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and
electrical engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system
installation. The information in this manual is offered only as a
guide to finalizing your installation plans. For full service
switching the A.T.S. should have a fusible disconnect (circuit
breaker) installed before the switch to protect the contacts.
ENGINE GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
The unit’s main frame should be bolted solidly to a 4 to 6 inch
thick cement pad. The engine-generator is mounted on a sub-
frame which is attached with special shock mounts to the main
frame. This allows the engine-generator free movement without
affecting the control panel which is mounted on the main frame.
Do not shock mount the main frame. Engine vibration will be
transmitted to the control panel causing erroneous start/stop
cycles and premature control failure.
The unit should be mounted to allow for ample working room
around it. A general rule to follow is three (3) feet of clearance on
all sides.
FUEL INSTALLATION
The fuel supply should be as close as possible to the engine.
This will reduce the installation cost of fuel runs. The informa-
tion in this manual is offered to assist you in providing the proper
fuel for your engine. However, this information is only provided to
inform you of the engine’s requirements and assist in making you
aware of the decisions you must make. In no case should the
instructions or information provided be interpreted to conflict with
any local, state or national codes. If in doubt, always consult your
local fire marshal or gas supplier.
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
FIRE HAZARD - All fuel runs should be installed by a licensed
fuel supplier.
Connect the fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel solenoid (see table
for recommended line size). The pressure at the secondary
demand regulator must be four to six ounces psi (per square
inch) or 7 to 11 inches W.C. (Water column) for vapor withdrawal
units. On units equipped with liquid withdrawal fuel systems full
tank pressure is plumbed to the fuellock strainer mounted on the
generator rails. The fuel converter mounted on the unit will
handle both vaporization of the fuel and pressure reduction.
