Insert lifting bars through the four holes in the mounting
skid. The placement of the holes maintains balance
during lifting. See Figure 1-2.
Follow these general precautions when lifting all
generator sets and related equipment.
D Install proper size rigging at the skid lifting eyes
providing a direct pull on the skid lifting eye. Make
sure the rigging does not work as a pry bar lever
against the lifting eye.
D DO NOT lift the generator set using the lifting eyes
attached to the engine and/or alternator as these
lifting eyes can not support the total weight of the
generator set.
D DO NOT attach hoisting equipment to the enclosure.
Insert lifting bars through the four holes in the
mounting skid.
D Always protect cables, chains, and straps from sharp
edges.
D Use a spreader bar to prevent lifting cables from
