Make sure the lifting equipment you’ll be
using has sufficient capacity to safely handle
the weight of the generator.
Use nylon lifting straps and connect them
to the lifting eyes on each corner of the base
frame to avoid damaging the enclosure.
Set the generator onto the pad so that the
gravel bed extends several inches beyond the
generator on all sides.
Make sure the generator is level within ½ inch.
Some locations require the use of a poured
concrete mounting pad. If you’re using a
concrete pad, secure the base frame of the
generator to the pad with appropriately sized
masonry bolts or other fasteners specified by
local code.
Connect an approved ground strap to the
grounding lug on the base frame and to an
approved earth ground or grounding rod as
specified by local regulations.
