16 Installation Guidelines for Air-Cooled Generators
3.2.1— Material sufficient for level installation
•
Dig a rectangular area approximately 5 in (127 mm) deep and about 6 in (152 mm) longer and wider than the
footprint of the generator. Fill with pea gravel, crushed stone or any other non-combustible material sufficient for
level installation. Compact and level the material. A concrete pad can be poured if desired or required. The pad
should be 4-5 in (102-127 mm) thick and extend 6 in (152 mm) beyond the outside of the generator in all direc-
tions.
NOTE: If a concrete pad is required, follow all applicable Federal, State or local codes.
