INSTALLATION VERIFICATION
Safety Tips
This generator set is intended for outdoor use only; it must never be installed indoors.
These instructions are generic. Be sure to follow all state and local codes and regulations.
Always install this generator set’s service regulator above the expected snow line.
Do not modify this generator set.
General Items Checklist
Generator set output is sufficient to handle maximum anticipated load.
Proper clearance is provided around the entire generator set for service and ventilation:
All parts of the generator set enclosure must be at least 1524 mm (60 inches) from any openings in walls of
structures that may be occupied. Examples of wall openings include but are not limited to: operable windows,
doors, dryer vents, fresh air intake for heaters, etc.
The engine side and alternator side of the generator set must be located as follows:
o One side (either engine or alternator) must be located not less than 458 mm (18 inches) from any structures
having combustible walls. This space must be free of any obstructions for service access.
o The opposite side must be located not less than 1524 mm (60 inches) from any structures having
combustible walls. A
minimum of 458 mm (18 inches) of unobstructed space is required for service access.
The intake (cooling air inlet) side of the generator set must be located not less than 762 mm (30 inches) from
any structures having combustible walls. This space must be free of obstructions to air flow and service access.
The generator set must be located such that exhaust gases are not able to accumulate in an occupied area. The
air discharge side must always be unobstructed and spaced a minimum of 1524 mm (60 inches) from any
structures having combustible walls. A minimum of 915 mm (36 inches) must be free of any combustible items,
and unobstructed for service access.
Locate and position the generator set so that prevailing winds carry exhaust gases and potential fuel leaks
away from the
house or occupied area.
The generator set is located in an area not subject to flooding.
All operating personnel have read and are familiar with the generator set operator manual, all health and safety
procedures, and all other documentation supplied with the generator set.
All operators have been thoroughly briefed on preventive maintenance procedures.
Proper clearance to openings in nearby structures is provided. Clearance around and over the generator set is provided
for operation, service and maintenance.
GENERATOR SET PAD
Generator Set Pad Requirements
1. Level the ground, and make sure that the subgrade is compacted and settled. Local soil condition may dictate the need
for addition of subbase and base material layers above the subgrade. Consult with your local building officials for
requirements and recommendations for your area.
2. Either pour a concrete slab or set a prefabricated pad on the prepared surface.
o The concrete slab should be constructed of concrete with a 28day compressive strength of at least 17,200 kPa
(2500 psi). (Typical bagged concrete mix meets this requirement.)
o The slab should be a minimum of 76.2 mm (3 inches) thick.
o The slab should be at least 50.8 mm (2 inches) larger in length and width than the generator set base.
3. Place the generator set on the pad and secure it to the mounting surface using the mounting spacers (provided)
and appropriate fasteners. See the generator set installation manual for more information.
