Installation Planning
Installation Guidelines for Spark-Ignited Stationary Emergency Generators 7
• Place the unit on a smooth flat surface. Do not leave unit on the shipping pallet, as it leaves the bottom open for
entry of dirt, debris, insects, rodents, etc.
• If applicable, cover any exhaust system openings.
• Leave plastic plugs in fuel connection points.
• Use anti-rodent plugs and other enclosure features to prevent entry of birds, small animals, and foreign objects.
2.5 — Lifting
When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be careful not to touch any overhead
power lines. Generators that weigh more than 900 pounds require proper tools,
equipment, and qualified personnel to be used in all phases of handling and
unpacking.
To ensure personal safety and prevent damage to the unit, use only properly sized equipment intended for safe rigging,
lifting and moving of heavy machinery.
Use a spreader bar to prevent damage to the unit. Failure to use a spreader bar will result in scratches and dam-
age to painted surfaces.
Installation drawings show the lifting points for rigging and lifting purposes. Always attach lifting and rigging devices at
the designated points only. Do not use the lifting points of the engine or alternator to move the generator set. See Fig-
ure 2-2.
