INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Handle shipping cartons and crates with care. Use care to avoid
damage from dropping, bumping, collision, etc. Store and unpack
cartons with the proper side up, as noted on the shipping carton.
n
Do not lift the fuel storage tank assembly
using upper rails of tank frame. Damage to
the fluid containment pan and/or wiring may
result which will void warranty.
n
Fuel Storage tank must be lifted from under-
neath the bottom frame rails or through the
lifting points as shown on the INSTALLATION
DRAWING included in the back of this man-
ual.
STATIONARY EMERGENCY GENERATOR LOCATION
Consider these factors:
Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not •
rise and endanger it.
Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for mainte- •
nance and servicing. This unit must be installed in accordance
with current applicable NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards, as
well as any other federal, state and local codes for minimum
distances from other structures.
Install the generator as close as possible to the transfer switch. •
This reduces the length of wiring and conduit.
Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel supply, •
to reduce the length of piping. HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT
LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE DISTANCE.
For Enclosed Unit
n
Install the generator set in its protective
enclosure outdoors where adequate cool-
ing and ventilating air is always available.
Consider these additional factors:
Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will not •
become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If prevailing
winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider using a wind-
break to protect the unit.
Where strong prevailing winds blow from one direction, face the •
generator air inlet openings into the prevailing winds.
For Open Unit
Install the generator set in a protective shelter with adequate cool-
ing and ventilating air. Consider these additional factors:
Engine exhaust MUST be piped to the outside of the shelter. •
STATIONARY EMERGENCY GENERATOR SUPPORT
Guidelines that should be followed are:
When designing a concrete base slab, all federal, state and local •
codes should be followed. Special attention should be given
to the concrete base slab which should exceed the length and
width of the generator by a minimum of six (6) inches (0.152
meters) on all sides.
The concrete base should be leveled to +/- .25 inches hori- •
zontally.
Retain the generator set to the concrete slab with masonry •
bolts.
Combustible Floor and Roof Protection
If the generator must be installed on any combustible floor or roof,
comply with the following rules:
Place a layer of non-combustible insulation, followed by a layer •
of sheet metal beneath the unit's mounting base rails.
Both the layer of insulation and the sheet metal must extend •
beyond the generator base to a distance of at least 12 inches
(30.5 cm) on all sides.

NOTE:
Consult the local building codes, which may vary.
