INSTALLATION
Your generator may be installed as part of an Automatic Generator System (AGS) but should only
be done so by a certified electrician and licensed contractor. Note the following if you decide to
permanently install your generator:
Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency
power systems. Investigate your local building and electrical codes before
installing thi
s unit. Installation must be completed by a certified electrician
and licensed contractor.
Prior to powering tools and equipment make sure the generator’s rated
voltage, wattage and amperage capacity is adequate to supply all electrical
loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity,
it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for
connection to a separate generator.
WARNING! THE GENERATOR WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 110
POUNDS. USE CARE AND THE PROPER LIFTING OR HOISTING
EQUIPMENT WHEN MOVING IT TO THE INSTALLATION
LOCATION. ALWAYS CONNECT HOIST LINES TO THE FRAME
OF THE GENERATOR.
Make sure to locate and install the generator outdoors where cooling air is
readily available.
Install the gener
ator so that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked by
obstructions such as bushes, trees, or snow drifts. Locating it in the path of
heavy winds or snowdrifts may require the placement of a barrier for
protection. In normal weather conditions, the air
vent should face the
prevailing wind direction.
Install the generator on a concrete slab or other area where rain drainage or
floodwaters cannot reach it.
Generator placement should allow four feet of access to all sides for
maintenance.
Place the generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment
being powered to reduce the length of extension cords.
Mount the generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of
the generator. The slab must extend on all sides beyond the frame by at least
one foot. Contact a cement contractor for slab specifications if necessary.
Attach the frame to the concrete slab using 3/8” diameter expansion anchor
bolts (not supplied).
