Home Generator Installation and Start-Up Manual 20000, 18000

The home generator is shipped already attached to its

mounting pad. Unless mandated by local code, a concrete

slab is not required.

If mandated by local code, construct a concrete slab at least

3 inches thick and 6 inches longer and wider than the unit.

Attach unit to slab with 1/4” diameter (minimum) masonry

anchor bolts long enough to retain the unit.

Fuel and Electrical Inlet Locations

The fuel inlet connector (B) is shown below. Also shown

is the recommended location (A) for punching holes for

attaching the power conduit.

Lifting the Generator

The generator weighs more than 650 pounds. Proper tools,

equipment and qualified personnel should be used in all

phases of handling and moving the generator.

WARNING

Hazardous Voltage

Contact with power lines can cause electric

shock or burn.

Lifting Hazard / Heavy Object

Can cause muscle strain or back injury.

If lifting or hoisting equipment is used, DO NOT contact

any power lines.

DO NOT lift or move generator without assistance.

Use lifting pipes as described below.

The unit may shift on the lifting pipes during movement,

which can cause injury.

DO NOT lift unit by roof as damage to generator will

occur.

•

Two 48” lengths of 1” pipe (

B), supplied by the installer, are

required to lift the generator manually. Insert pipes through

the lifting holes (A) located near the unit’s base.

You may also lift the unit using a “hook and hoist” method

attached to the lifting pipes, provided that you use a spreader

bar to ensure that the chains or cables DO NOT touch the

generator’s roof.

After unit is in place, fill the lifting holes with the supplied

lifting hole plugs.
