Mounting the Generator Set

Mount the generator set on a substantial and level base such as a concrete pad. A

non-combustible material must be used for the pad. Verify that the mounting pad is

level by length, by width, and diagonally.

NOTICE

Seismic installation may require specific anchorage.

4.2 Fuel Selection and Fuel System Connection

This generator set has a convertible fuel system. The generator may run on natural

gas or propane, depending on the preferences of the owner. All generator sets

come preconfigured from the factory for natural gas fuel. For more information on

converting the fuel system type, see Converting the Fuel System Type section.

NOTICE

Fuel systems must be installed by qualified service technicians. Improper

installation presents hazards of fire and improper operation, resulting in

severe personal injury or property damage.

NOTICE

In some jurisdictions fuel system installations to the generator set must be

performed by licensed or registered personnel. Check with the authority

having jurisdiction for requirements.

WARNING

Gaseous fuels are flammable, explosive, and can cause severe personal

injury or death. Do not smoke if you smell gas, are near fuel tanks for fuel-

burning equipment, or are in an area sharing ventilation with such

equipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, electrical arcs, arc-producing

equipment and all other sources of ignition well away. Keep a type ABC fire

extinguisher handy.

In all fuel system installations, cleanliness is extremely important.

• Make every effort to prevent fuel contamination from:

◦ Moisture

◦ Dirt

◦ Excess thread sealant

◦ Contaminants of any kind

• Clean all fuel system components before installing.
