UNPACKING
1. As you receive your unit, it is critical to check it for any
damage. If any damage is noted, it is always easiest to
refuse the shipment and let WINCO take care of the
freight claim. If you sign for the unit, the transfer of the
ownership requires that you file the freight claim
2. Before proceeding with the preparations of your new
generator for operation, take a couple of minutes to
ensure the unit you have received is the correct model
and review the specification pages in this manual to
ensure that this unit meets your job requirements.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
These units are shipped with oil and a 50/50 mix of
coolant. Be sure to check all fluid levels before operating.
See engine manufacturer’s instruction manual for
recommended oil requirements before initial starting.

LIFTING THE GENERATOR SET
NOTICE: PERSONAL INJURY
To prevent injury to persons or equipment, observe the
following guidelines when lifting the generator:
CAUTION
Do not attempt to lift the generator set by the means of
the lifting eyes on the engine or generator end. These
lifting points are only for the use during the manufacturing
process and are designed for lifting of the individual
generator set components and not the complete unit.
WARNING
NEVER attempt to lift the fuel tank filled with fuel. Sloshing
of the fuel can cause a shift in the balance of the fuel
tank, making for a DANGEROUS, unbalanced lifting load.
If the generator was shipped on the fuel tank, use the
lifting points located on the fuel tank to move the entire
generator set into place. DO NOT PLACE FUEL IN THE
TANK PRIOR TO LIFTING.
This generator set is equipped with integrated fork pockets
to allow the generator to be lifted from any side.
Always use forklifts of a proper rating and with long
enough forks to move the generator. As the distance from
the forklift mast increases the lifting capacity for the forklift
decreases. When lifting from the side the forks should
extend the entire width of the unit through the opposite
side frame rail.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
It is possible to lift the generator from the radiator side. It
requires especially long forks and care should be taken to
ensure that no contact is made with the radiator. Pushing
the radiator will cause damage that is not covered under
warranty.
