General Precautions (cont’d)
Installation (cont’d)
• If the generator is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of the building using
leak-free, heat resistant piping. Pipes and soundproofing insulation should not use any
flammable materials nor should they be installed near any flammable objects. Generator
exhaust fumes must be within legal limits and installation must always meet local building codes.
• If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be soundproofed.
It should not be run outdoors without adequate protection to the generator and wiring conduit.
• The generator weighs approximately 121 lbs. Without mechanical aid, lifting the generator off
the ground will require two or more people. Never lift the generator using any part of the
engine or alternator.
• Connect lifting equipment to the frame of the generator only. Before lifting the generator with
equipment, ensure that the equipment and supporting structure are in good condition and are
rated to lift the intended load.
• Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.
• The supporting floor or ground surface should be level and strong enough to safely hold the
weight of the generator. If the surface is not level, strong cross members should be placed
under the full length of the generator frame underneath the lower side.
• For trailer installation, the generator should be mounted in the middle of the trailer and over the
wheels. The trailer must be capable of supporting the weight of the generator, accessories,
and all contents (tools, etc.).
• Install weatherproofing and sound insulation only when it is not raining nor snowing to avoid
trapping moisture within the generator or within surrounding insulation.
Mechanical
• Always make sure the power switch is in its "OFF" position. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
allow the engine to completely cool before carrying out maintenance.
• Check for damaged parts. Before using the generator, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any
other condition that may affect proper operation.
• The generator is designed with guards for protection against contact with moving parts. In any
case, care must still be taken to protect personnel and equipment from other mechanical hazards
when working in the vicinity of the generator.
