Two 48” lengths of 1” pipe (C), supplied by the installer, are
required to lift the generator manually. Insert pipes through
the lifting holes (D) located near the unit’s base.
You may also lift the unit using a “hook and hoist” method
attached to the lifting pipes, provided that you use a spreader
bar to ensure that the chains or cables DO NOT touch the
generator’s roof.
After unit is in place, fill the lifting holes with the supplied
lifting hole plugs.
