Installation Guide
2. Place the unit so air vents won’t become clogged with leaves, grass, snow or debris. Make sure exhaust
fumes will not enter the building through eaves, windows, ventilation fans or other air intakes. Build a
rectangular form out of 2”X6 wooden studs. Dig an area approximately 4 inches deep and about 4 to 6
inches, longer and wider than the footprint of the generator. Place wooden frame in hole leaving
approximately 2” above ground. Place polyurethane lm in the bottom and ll with pea gravel or crushed
stone along with rebar reinforcement. Level and pack gravel or stone evenly. The concrete pad is now ready
to be poured. When pouring concrete, set grade 5 anchor bolts in wet concrete based on the foot print of
generator lining up with holes on the base of the unit. Once complete level and nish concrete pad and
allow to set for 48 hours.
3. Inspect packaging and generator for exterior shipping damage. Remove all packaging material.
4. Make sure the lifting equipment to be used has sufcient capacity to safely handle the weight of the
generator (TR20REG-DB created gross weight 850lbs). Use nylon lifting straps and connect them to the
lifting eyebolts on each corner of the base frame to avoid damage to the enclosure (lifting eyebolts
included) Make sure straps are lifting straight upward and do not pinch lid! Set generator into place and
anchor tightly to concrete pad using grade 5 hardware.
5. When using forklift, you have to ensure that forks are wide enough to lift the unit from the bottom. Fully
insert the fork legs completely through the bottom of the machine. Pay attention to the machine
components avoiding damage from the bottom, lift and set at on concrete pad. Avoid tilting and dropping
generator. Handle with care.
6. Center the generator onto pad so that there is equal distance between the generator on all four sides,
making sure, the generator is level within 1/16” inch.
7. IMPORTANT! Connect an approved ground strap to the grounding lug on the base of frame and to an
approved earth ground or grounding rod as specied by local code and regulations.
