After completing your SITE SELECTION and PREPARATION,
time for Step 3:
SECTION 4 - GENERATOR PLACEMENT
Section 4
Generator Placement
4.1 GENERATOR PLACEMENT
With the Site Selection and Preparation performed, proceed with placement and installation of the generator itself.
All of the 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 (Figure 3.1). You can place the generator with a composite pad 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 Section 2.
NOTE: Generator must be level within 0.5 in (13 mm).
