5 Transportation, Handling and Installation
Generator
5.1 Transportation and handling
• Prior to installation and putting into service, check all parts for transit damage. A damaged
generator is a potential safety hazard and, therefore, should not be put into service.
• Do not store the generator unprotected in the open (protect against moisture).
• Attach hoist securely to the upper keyholes, using 5-6 mm hooks. Only use hoists and load
suspension devices with sufficient load-carrying capacity. Secure the route of transportation.
• Mount securely to a level and firm surface at the place of use, making sure that the surface
has adequate loadbearing capacity.
• Prepare the surface by placing the two lowest bolts in it. Not tightened, just so they are in place
in the surface. The generator is prepared with two recesses in the bottom. Hold the bottom of
the generator towards the surface and lower the generator so the two bolts slide into the
recesses.
• When the generator is carried by the two lower bolts, gently push the top of the generator up
towards the surface.
• While supporting the generator with one hand, remove the two hooks and push the generator
all the way up to the surface.
• Fit the two upper bolts in the free keyholes where the hooks used to sit, and tighten all four
bolts.
