1. Choose a location and excavate the ground for a slab of the dimensions set forth in the
diagram above. Excavate at least one foot = 12 inches (30.4 cm) deep and frame above
ground sufficiently high enough that the height of the slab above the ground level is 17
inches (43.2 cm) below the centerline of the tractor’s PTO shaft (see dimension A in
the diagram above).
2. Reinforce with steel rods or steel grid or as otherwise recommended or required by
local building codes or applicable laws, to increase the strength and stability of the
concrete slab.
3. Pour the concrete and install four 1/2” x 8” masonry bolts according to the diagram
above.
4. Let the concrete cure until the slab has fully dried.
5. Install thick rubber pads for the generator mounting base to rest on. The pads, which act
as vibration absorbers, should be about ½” (1.27 cm) thick.
6. Install and secure PTO generator firmly using four ½” lock washers and four ½” – 13
nuts.
7. Tighten all nuts securely and check periodically and re-tighten as necessary.
Optional 3-point hitch
A 3-point hitch frame can be ordered from IMD if the PTO generator needs to be moved
frequently. This hitch frame will be connected to the tractor’s three-point hydraulic system
(see Accessories section page 27).
The hitch will be shipped disassembled. Basic tools are required for assembly.
Mounting the unit on the hitch frame and using the three-point attachment to the tractor
hydraulics makes the PTO generator secure against tipping over during power generation,
and yet allows it to be moved easily.
