The generator set is heavy and must be handled with care.
• Use a fork lift to move the generator set and set it in place.
• The lifting eyes on the engine and alternator should not be used for lifting the entire
generator set.
• Alternatively, a one-person hand dolly designed to fit the generator set base is
available to move the generator and set it in place.

Pounding the stakes into electric, gas or telephone service lines can result in severe
personal injury or death. Observe the utility company markings and discuss any other
buried lines with the home owner.
Set the generator set in place and pound the four corner stakes into the ground to secure the
generator set in place.
3.7 Electrical Wiring Connections
Refer to the Outline and Systems Drawings for the locations of the electrical conduit openings
on the side of the generator set and the alternative stub-up opening in the base for all power
and communications wiring connections between the generator set and transfer switch.
Route the wires from the transfer switch through the conduit and connect the wires to the mating
terminals on the generator set terminal block.
Two separate conduits are required:
• One is for all AC voltage connections on TB2 or in the AC junction box
• One is for all communications cables on P7, J4 or Ethernet cables.
