Generator Placement
Installation Guidelines for 60 Hz EcoGen™ Generator 15
Section 4: Generator Placement
Generator Placement
See Figure 4-1. All air–cooled generators come with a
composite pad. The composite pad elevates the
generator and helps prevent water from pooling around
the bottom of the generator. The generator and
composite pad can be placed on 4 in (102 mm) of pea
gravel that is compacted, or on a concrete pad. Check
local codes to see what type of site base is required. If a
concrete pad is required, all federal, state and local
codes should be followed. Place the generator on its
mounting pad and position correctly as per the
dimensional information given in Site Selection and
Preparation.
NOTE: Generator must be level within 0.5 in (13 mm).
NOTE: If the composite pad is removed for concrete
mounting, the fascia kit will not fit.
Figure 4-1. Composite Pad
See Figure 4-2. Four mounting points are provided for
securing the generator to concrete—two holes at the
inside front of the enclosure and two outside rear
mounting brackets.
NOTE: Use the template at the top of the generator
carton to mark the concrete pad for drilling of the two
front mounting holes. For dimensions of the two rear
mounting holes, see Installation Drawing (2 of 2). DO
NOT USE brackets from shipping pallet. Use stainless
steel brackets provided with loose parts.

Fascia Installation (If Applicable)
• Locate the four (4) threaded black rubber bumpers
located in the Owner’s Manual bag.
• See Figure 4-3. Remove the four (4) bumpers from
the bag and screw them into threaded holes located
inside the end pieces of the fascia (two each)
opposite one another (A).
• Once the bumpers are installed, snap one of the end
pieces into one of the front / rear pieces of fascia.
Repeat this action with the other two remaining
pieces of fascia.
NOTE: Do not assemble all four pieces together at this
point (B).
• Place both assemblies at the base of the generator
and fit the rubber bumpers into the lifting holes in the
generator base (C).
• Once aligned, snap together the two remaining
connection points.
