Generator Placement - Siemens Liquid-cooled Generators Installation Manuallines

GENERATOR PLACEMENT

Use a forklift, boom truck or similar
equipment with sufficient capacity to
move the generator to the mounting pad
area. The operator should be certified and
experienced in generator installation.
Before placing the generator on the
pad, inspect for shipping damage and if
necessary, file a claim with the shipper.
After removing the bolts holding the
generator base frame to the wooden
pallet, use the lifting eyes on the base
frame to lift the generator onto the pad.
When properly positioned, secure the
base frame to the pad with appropriately
sized masonry bolts.
Connect an approved ground strap to
the grounding lug on the base frame
and to an earth ground or grounding rod
consistent with local regulations.
