Section 4: Generator Placement
Generator Placement
This generator comes with two composite pads. These
composite pads elevate the generator and help prevent
water from pooling around the bottom of the generator
(Figure 4-1). Therefore, they should not be removed
from the generator under ANY circumstances.
The generator with composite pads can be placed on 4 in
(102 mm) of pea gravel that is compacted or on a
concrete pad. Check local codes to see what type of site
base is required. If a concrete pad is required, all federal,
state and local codes should be followed. Place the
generator and position correctly as per the dimensional
information given in Site Preparation
NOTE: Generator must be level within 0.5 in (13 mm).
Figure 4-1. Composite Pads
NOTE: When mounting the generator to concrete, there
are four mounting holes inside the generator enclosure
for securing the generator. DO NOT remove the
composite pads while mounting the generator to
concrete. See Figure 4-2.
The use of 5/16" (or M8) lag bolts is recommended (not
supplied) for securing the generator to a concrete pad.

Installation Guidelines for 50 Hz PowerPact™
NOTE: The top of the generator carton has a template
that can be used to mark the concrete pad to pre-drill the
mounting holes.
