sure lift or hoist equipment has appropriate tires for the terrain to avoid becoming stuck or tipping
over. If the shipping pallet is intact, use a fork lift to move the generator. If the shipping pallet has
been removed, use two steel pipes through the "Lift Point" holes to lift the generator. See Figure 3-1.
The lift points are designed only for the weight of the generator. Do not lift by these points if the
generator is mounted to a trailer or has other items attached.

Physical Location

The mounting location of the system is important. It should be installed in an area that is
protected from direct harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, shock and vibration.
It should be installed in an outdoor location so the exhaust fumes are vented to the atmosphere.
When the Generator is installed outdoors (skid mount)

enclosure is designed to keep out undesirable weather elements while providing cooling and
ventilation.
