Laying the Foundation

When laying the foundation:

2. Level the ground, and make sure that the ground is compact and settled.

Ensure that it is stable ground, not subject to flooding.

3. Prepare the concrete pad.

compressive strength of at least 2500 psi (17,237 kPa).

• The pad dimensions should be the same as those indicated in the Outline

and System Drawings appendix.

NOTICE

Seismic installations may require a different pad and securing

devices.

NOTICE

Local codes and standards may have different requirements.

4. Lift the generator set onto the pad, and secure it.
