Fuel And Electrical Inlet Dimensions; Lifting The Generator - Briggs & Stratton 1768-0 Installation And Start-Up Manual

• Install the generator as close as possible to the
Automatic Power Transfer System to reduce the length
of wiring and conduit.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel
supply to reduce length of pipes.
CAUTION!
Laws or local codes may regulate the
distance to the fuel supply.
The Home Generator System is shipped already attached
to its mounting pad. Unless mandated by local code, no
concrete slab is required.
If mandated by local code, detach the unit from its supplied
base. Construct a concrete slab at least 3 inches thick and
6 inches longer and wider than the unit. Attach unit to slab
with 1/4" diameter (minimum) masonry anchor bolts long
enough to retain the unit. Use the mounting pad holes as
anchor bolt locators.
