UNPACKING/INSPECTION
After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents for damage.
• This standby generator set is ready for installation with a factory
supplied and pre-mounted base pad and has a weather protective
enclosure that is intended for outdoor installation only.
If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power
source, it is required by code to install a transfer
switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate
the electrical system from the utility distribution
system when the generator is operating (NEC 700,
701 & 702). Failure to isolate an electrical system
by such means will result in damage to the gen-
erator and also may result in injury or death to
utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical
energy.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s)
making the delivery note all damage on the freight bill or affix their
signature under the consignor's memo of loss or damage.
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged
materials and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
"Concealed damage" is understood to mean damage to the contents of a
package that is not in evidence at the time of delivery, but is discovered
later.
To properly open the roof, press down on the center top lip and release
the latch. If pressure is not applied from the top, the roof may appear
stuck. Always verify that the side lock is unlocked before attempting to lift
the roof.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Contact the local inspector or City Hall to be aware of all federal,
state and local codes that could impact the installation. Secure all
required permits before starting the job.
Carefully read and follow all of the procedures and safety
precautions detailed in the installation guide. If any portion of the
installation manual, technical manual or other factory-supplied
documents is not completely understood, contact a dealer for
assistance.
Fully comply with all relevant NEC, NFPA and OSHA standards
as well as all federal, state and local building and electric codes.
As with any generator, this unit must be installed in accordance
with current NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards as well as any other
federal, state, and local codes for minimum distances from other
structures.
Every installation has its own unique set of circumstances
and requirements. This booklet provides guidelines for basic
installations only and is not intended to cover all applications.
If there are any questions or concerns after carefully reading all
documentation received with the equipment, contact the nearest
dealer for assistance.
SITE PREPARATION AND GENERATOR
PLACEMENT
1. Locate the mounting area as close as possible to the transfer
switch and fuel supply.
Leave adequate room around the area for service access
(check local code), and place high enough to keep rising
water from reaching the generator.
Choose an open space that will provide adequate and
unobstructed airflow (see the "Location" section in the
Owner's Manual).
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.
Dig a rectangular area approximately five inches deep and
about six inches longer and wider than the footprint of the
generator. Cover with polyurethane film and fill with pea gravel
or crushed stone. Compact and level the stone. A concrete
pad can be poured if desired.
